Hi all,

This is where we wait for the latest AMD graphics card which AMD will surely release in a timely manner and will definitely blow all of our minds, no questions asked, 100% guaranteed, no chance it'll fail, just you wait.

Last time: >>61416170

RX Vega makes its first of three appearances TODAY in Budapest at Akvárium Klub. Tickets are sold out: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/rx-gamer-talalkozo-budapesten-tickets-36122124246
If you're in Budapest, go take some videos and leak them here, then leak them to VideoCardz so they can then be leaked here too.

Next stop is PDXLAN in Portland from July 21st to the 23rd.

The latest:

>>61434278
assumed that because it's not open doors(even though tickets are free)

>>61434517
The only reason they probably set it up is to keep track of capacity and nothing more. They've also done registrations for past Capsaicin events and those didn't have NDA funny business (unless you're The Media).

anyone who wanted to do so already did.

>>61436200
It could be both, Vega has similar performance for $100 less and also the monitor cost $200 less.
Having to drag the monitor into the price/performance argument would be pretty weak though.

>similar performance for $100
kind of a big deal

AMD won't show framerates until it's ready for release

if they do people are going to go "wow it's too low I'm getting a 1080 Ti"

if they don't people will just complain

So what's the PSU recommendation on this shit?

>Ryzen 5 (+ cooler)
>Vega RX

Assuming ~ 100% utilization on both on stock, that'd be around ~300w+~100w for these two alone. Then there's cooler(5w) + hdd/ssd(10w each) + 4-6 usbs (5-10w). This puts us at ~ 470w. If we overclock the CPU/GPU, ~130w + ~400w? So around 600w minimal + ~50-100w for extra threshold as to not put 100% stress on PSU.

700w is what I'm calculating as safe PSU requirement.
>>
>>61439811
>So what's the PSU recommendation on this shit?
We don't know.
>>
>>61439811
I use a heavily overvolted Fury with a 600W PSU and have never had any issues so I'd be surprised if stock Vega wasn't fine.
>>
>>61440326
Mine's more of a theoretical safe zone when system is loaded 100%.

When you game, you don't use 100% cpu or 100% gpu power. When you stress GPU with things like furmark, or cpu with prime95 thats where you see the true limits. Fury has a calculated average power usage of around 275w, but when its unleashed/tested in furmark, it can go upto 400w (using all available gpu resources). Similarly with CPU, TDP (for intel) is average for stock power usage under gaming loads, but with max load, it goes ~50% more.

Lets assume your setup is like this.

Intel 4770K
Fury OC
2 HDD/SSD
5 USB
3 fans

4770K TDP is ~84w and that's accurate in gaming on stock. With bit of OC and load, it can go up to ~120w.
Fury OC'd is around 275 average and ~300 gaming with OC, and ~400 full load.
USBS/HDD/SSD/Fans ~75w

130 + 400 + 75 ~= 605. Thats within acceptable minimum (for 100% load threshold).
50-100w more to offset the 100% PSU usage for more smoother run. Ideally you'd want to go for that sort of safe mark.

But in a minimal standard,

4770K = 100w
Fury = 300w
USB/HDD/FAN = 75w
= 475. That works well when you're not fully stressing the system and only playing games/cpu load in normal conditions. The 600w would then be quite good since its a 125w extra on the load so your PSU isn't 100% all the time.

2 different marks to understand when buying PSU. The theoretical mark and the normal gaming condition mark.
>>
>>61436983
>the only systems with hiccups were intel's
interesting...
>>
>>61439811

if you have a single gpu 500-550w will be fine even with heavy overclocking

I have an r9 290x, an r9 285, and a 5820k, and even with the cpu and the 290x overclocked while running prime95 and two furmark instances (one for both gpu) I barely hit 630w~ with some other minor stuff plugged into the same socket, and while I'd still rather have the 750w for that extra bit of leeway the rig idles around 130w which has some incredibly shit efficiency out of the gpu
>>
Does Vega compete with its technical power or its price:quality ratio?

I guess i'm asking can it beat 1080ti/TItan XP
>>
>>61441185
We don't know.
>>
>>61441185
Probably price:quality, I don't think Vega RX is going to compete in power:performance efficiency.

Vega is a pile of shit.

so it's safe to assume that 1080p@60fps Vega cards will be in the low end of the spectrum?

1080p 60fps is already given for these modern >$200 cards.

>>61441311
>4
just get 390x or something lol

390? 390x
>>
>>61441346
>>61441366

yeah, but given that the 480 was already capable of that for $200 or so, it makes me wonder if we'll se the same performance for something like $100~150 in the near future.
>>
>>61441311
>1080p@60fps
is it 2011 again?
580 for 250 is already that.
>>
>>61441467
The next somewhat big leap in performance lies in 7nm dieshrink.
Even bigger one is in MCM GPUs but it's like 3 years away at the very least.

now with vega... doesn't look like it'll be this good in any way

It's just a Fury 2.0.
>>
>>61441614
Doesn't look like it.
>>
>>61441620

If we take into account that it does not compete with 1080 Ti, you're right.
>>
>>61441641
You don't know whether it competes with GP102 variants.
>>
>>61441660
There's a Vega FE variant out already. It will be roughly a 1080 competition or an overclocked 1070 competition.
>>
>>61442166
FE is not indicative of RX Vega performance.
In fact, Vega features are simply disabled on FE.
Everything, even discard accelerator (it discards less tris than Polaris).
>>
>>61442203
You can also look at the 780ti to see what happens to cards without driver support.
>>
>>61442244
I have 770.
I know THE pain.
Kill me please.
>>
>>61442203
We know this, but for gaming purposes, this is not going to be a 20% increase in performance. At best, ~10%. That's still only at 1080 level.
>>
>>61442377
>We know this, but for gaming purposes, this is not going to be a 20% increase in performance.
Wut?
Do you know what TBR does?
I am not talking faster discarding with primitive shaders.
Only TBR.
Do you know what it does in what happens when you implement it?

So... 1080 performance in Vulkan/4k and 1070 performance in dx11/144hz/1440p confirmed? Also why AMD only uses two 12 and 18 months old games in all their benchmarks?

I thought it was 285 watts on the aircooled RX Vega. Well, that's still 100 watts more than your average 1080. Which is kind of stupid. Drivers will be better in a few months. It's going to end up like Ryzen's launch where several months later things have improved quite a bit.
>>
>>61437987
fuck i love this meme
>>
>>61439811
Have 2x 1080s and 7700k 5ghz fuck runs cool less than 600w.

I mean 2*1080 equals 1 rx (or half) depending on OC.
Having crossfire rx would be a real crossfire on psu.
Just imagine 7900x+2 rx
You would need dual psus

Not related to Vega but I have an AMD-related question. I still use AMD legacy card and legacy-Crimson drivers don't have OpenCL. Does anything even use OpenCL nowadays?

Gonna run my overclocked RX 480 @ 1400Mhz on it for the time being. I might get Vega to tide me over depending on price.

No, he's not. He predicted a situation for Nvidia similar to what Intel is going through now with 0 performance and efficiency gains. He claimed that rx 480 was 2 gpu stuck together as well.

That's kind impossible for GPUs since you can throw moar hardware.

You people need to seriously start doing your own research instead of taking the words of relatively clueless youtube celebrities as gospel, it's quite disgusting.
>>
>>61459830
Well rx Vega at the same clocks as the fury x is worse and uses more power so it is possible I guess. He thought single gpu would hit a brick wall like 2 years ago and no more improvements can be gained without his retarded idea of stapling 2 gpu together.

It will hit a wall at one point, that's just common sense but not like he said it would 2 years

That's cool if you're into rendering, not so much when you're buying it for the games. RX 580 has same FLOPS as a GTX 1070, sadly not the same performance in tasks outside mining.

Your issue is that it can't compete in the gaymer market.

This is the most legitimate argument supporting that the drivers jost dont work and there must be a massive improvement when they arrive.

It already competes with GP102 (and sometimes smokes it) where it works.
It's just shitposting.
>>
>>61460184
Let me give you a hint, you clueless dumb fuck:

The real question anyone trying to read the tea leaves on how RX Vega going to perform has to be able to convincingly explain is how Vega FE can go toe to toe with a Quadro P6000 in pro applications while being at 1080 levels in games.

It should not be possible for both to be true simultaneously, and so the whole question comes down to coming up with a convincing technical explanation for how both of those things can be true at the same time on Vega FE, and therefore what we can infer from that about RX Vega.

Anyone who doesn't even bother to TRY and explain how both of those things can be true simultaneously and what that implies is just low effort shitposting (e.g., you) and doesn't deserve to be engaged with seriously.
>>
>>61460781
its embarrassing that a whole year of supposed "innovation" results in this. one minute amd drivers are supposed to be better than nvidia, next minute i'm told i have to wait for good drivers to see the real performance. i'm willing to bet the rx vega will take at least 6 months to reach its peak performance as drivers get further optimized. keep in mind volta is out in 6-8 months too though so this is pretty sad on amd's part.
>>
>>61460896
Quality and stability are not the same as performance and optimization.

The fact that you can form semi-coherent sentences should tell us you are smarter than what you are saying yet here we are.
>>

Are you from the future?

>it's illegal to use the past as a basis for the future in my thread!

yeah i forgot the 290x didn't take 6 months to become competitive and start beating out the crock of shit that was the 780 ti. i forgot the 480 didn't actually release with a 15% performance disadvantage compared to the 1060 and it took 6 months for them to even be competitive. i'm going crazy amirite?

4k freesync monitors will be cheaper by then, too.

>>61436967
FreeSync is great, what're you even talking about? The biggest issue I've had is that it doesn't work in boarderless windowed mode for certain games, which means you have to go fullscreen mode. BW introduces a little bit of input lag, anyway, so it's nbd. Never realized just how much tearing I had before I got a freesync capable card.

i5 4690
msi r9 280x
8gb ram

FX8350
asus r9 290x
16gb ram

I just use it to meme and play games online, occasionally I record some gameplay with OBS, and emulate retro shit (snes, PS1 etc)

>>61463548
Put R9 290X and 16 GB RAM in the i5 build

Vega will underwhelm people since it's gonna use a ton of die space on new features that won't get used in any older and most newer software.

Beyond the HBCC, most people have zero idea what tier 3.0 conservative rasterization actually implies. (Drawing only fully covered pixels = on-card Umbra-style occlusion culling = scene setup essentially fully offloaded from host)

It'll be years before mainstream games use most of this unfortunately.
>>
>>61463528
Maybe because AMD's had patents detailing such concepts approved since like 2011

Unless you are going to put in the effort of even trying to give a convincing technical explanation of how you can reconcile P6000 level performance in geometry heavy pro workloads with 1080 tier gaming performance you can fuck right off with your low effort shitposting.

Remember it should not be possible for both to be true simultaneously.

>>
>>61464498
A slight edge in specifically single threaded workloads like playing CS:GO, and only playing CS:GO, maybe. Overall FX-8350 is a better processor than a 4690 that you can't overclock.
Bulldozer may have been a fiasco, but that doesn't change that non-overclockable i5s aren't about as useless in comparison as an i3.
