Is that bad?
Yo will've stayed Just enoungh to get better valued upgrades, it seems
The discount is 10% off the first $1,000 ... or basicly i get a $100 off at amazon per yet. No free prime , no free devices ... just that $100 lol
I can't speak for all of amazon only the part that I am in. But yea its one of the worse companies I have ever worked for
But it's not doing any better than average in it compared to competition
Mh, so the indoor part with little demanding resolution runs very well on 1800X/Vega. Good to know, but not totally unexpected.
Fun fact: Max details (beyond Ultra and Extreme) in the german censored version is called "mein Leben" [my life] - something every gamer makes fun of, since that's what the SS guys in Wolfenstein 3D apparently said and which makes no sense at all as a war cry.

It was actually their death cry.and which makes no sense at all as a war cry.
But yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Then again, the original game was just typical pulpy nazi pop-culture schlock mashed together into something that resembled gameplay (it's a fucking boring game by today's standards.) Mecha-Hitler as a level endboss - although curiously not the final endboss though as I recall - and so on. I doubt any of the people at id really spoke any German at all, they probably wrote the enemy lines from what smattering they possessed between them, or with the help of a dictionary...
Hot dog!It was actually their death cry.

It's AMD's(formerly?) MattB's vega64 which runs almost 400Mhz faster on core and 300Mhz faster on memory compared to my vega56 at stock and full load.
It's likely guzzling twice the power and yet is off by 100Mhz compared to stock clocks of Pascal cards. AMD really need a miracle on that front.
Really? I think I need to revisit that once I'm outside of my country (it's illegal here because of the use of swastika in a toy - yeah, there you have it, german bureaucracy at it's best: mature rated games count legally as toys, not as entertainment or art, and swastikas in toys make every german a Nazi again).It was actually their death cry.
Anyway, I was just expressing my awe, that the detail settings were renamed back and forth for english version. „Über“ we don't have, for example, despite it being a german word.
Bethesda stated that they work on a patch because async compute was not activated.

It takes roughly 320W according to afterburner's measurements. That's where you hit the power limit cap. Default settings with default clocks takes around 260W (I got the same card, with same clocks). Just to give some comparision.
Yes it does, same as GPU-Z. I don't have any other tool available atm to test power draw. But it's still valid for comparisions between 2 different Vega cards , as long as measurement tool is the same
Yeah definitely not measuring power loss/efficiency of complete card and it is a notable difference, which we know when looking at Polaris as an example between reported by software and measuring with a scope.
Steven Bassiri does some nice engineering articles that are done in a way for most to enjoy: http://sinhardware.com/index.php/vrm-articles/82-vrm-guide
So Bethesda and their marketing collaboration with AMD including optimizing the crap out of Wolfenstein II with FP16 etc., didn't have Async enabled for AMD, but did have it enabled for Nvidia.
Maybe compiled release version with the wrong options (mistakes can happen, especially as Bethesda released a game in 2011 which deliberately did not use SIMD extensions at all for months), or perhaps they found a bug in the code close to going gold and decided to just go ahead and then fix things afterwards. These days PC games autopatch; it's not a big deal.didn't have Async enabled for AMD, but did have it enabled for Nvidia.

The Async implementation was crashing with the new AMD driver, it needed to be disabled in the Day 1 patch. At any rate, Async Compute doesn't appear to be have any major impact really.

Apparently it's also turned off on the 1080Ti until a new driver comes next week.
