AMD: Speculation, Rumors, and Discussion (Archive)

Gibbo has derailed the hype train.

 

So people were actually expecting it to rival a Titan X?

 

Never, really? Just a reminder: R600 aka HD 2900 XT(X) vs RV670XT aka HD 3870. It happened just 6 years ago...

 

Stock to stock, no chance, custom OC to stock not out of the realm of possibility, custom OC to custom OC, no chance.

 

Hell look at the 900 series. The GTX 980 wasn't much faster than the GTX 780 Ti.

I'm sure some people will say but, but Titan X/980 Ti. Those didn't launch until much later. Similar to Rx 490 whenever it comes.

yeah but the gtx 980 was a performance card vs a 780ti which was an enthusiast card. Pretty much the same thing for Polaris, different gen but one tier lower, which is a normal gen cycle.

 

Which was the entire point if you look back at Gralls post. The Rx 480 isn't the flagship card just like the GTX 980 wasn't the flagship card despite them both launching first.

The 1080 isn't a flagship card either, even if it's being priced like one.

 

If you read the thread you'd know why things changed.

 

110W and 390X performance would put it very close to Pascal perf/W. Perf/mm2 is another story though.

 

neverming, missread it.

 

I blame wccf's hype, that Khalid guy who's posting above 980 and nano equalling performance for the stock card and then 1.6Ghz+ overclocked cards on top of that.

A 20% overclock even at 390X's level puts it in 980Ti/Fury X/1070 ballpark performance, at 10% faster than 980 you're looking at OCed cards beating out 980Ti and matching Titan X/1070.

 

OC'ed cards should beat stock 980tis even if they are only 390x speeds at stock if OC to 1600mhz is possible.

 

Well that 1.6Ghz+ card SS is at 1607Mhz which suspiciously is gtx1080's base clock. The other 'source' is some guy on overclock.net getting leaks from his brother and his brother's friends.

Current listing in india prices it so that gtx1070 is 30% pricier, doesn't make sense to get the amd card if you have the dough.

 

Well India prices are always high, I'm surprised only 30%, I remember 10 years ago,when I was building as system for a cousin over there, to get a mid range card they were double the price, ended up getting it anyways, cause I didn't have time to wait for it to be shipped from overseas. Import taxes were crazy back then, maybe they have gone down a bit.

 

It's actually pretty close, if not even.

GP104 is 314mm² vs Polaris 10 at 232mm²

 

Also with all this "300 bucks super special OC cards" I think we can assume that the P10 with 36 CU is the full chip and it wont be annother with 40 CUs.

Off topic: The mod that is changing the tittle is just showing us how immature he is. Please grow up.

 

Actually, Maxwell launched with GM107, aka GTX 750ti, some 7 months before 980. I think we can agree that it also wasn't a flagship card

 

We can also agree that there's actually two Maxwell -generations, and GM107 was one of a kind chip and a generation as itself

 

Ah, I'd actually forgotten about that. I wonder what people would be saying if AMD were only launching with Polaris 11?
