I don't know about other GPUs, but all GCN GPUs should be tier 3. This is because GCN loads resource descriptors directly from memory to general purpose SGPR registers. A shader program could have a loop that loads every single resource descriptor and samples/loads it once.
Is there any good public documentation (similar to the southern islands ISA reference) about NVidia GPUs?
