The results are very inconsistent across 12 different runs. The guy was using it with a crap 550 watt PSU and an mITX case/motherboard. It was obviously throttling/downclocking itself.

That's extremely poor for a card that is 2 years late and costs $1000.

How about we actually wait until more people test this thing?
Or how about we wait until the actual cards come out and let people test those, rather than having shitflinging contests over a card that's quite literally AMD's version of Nvidia Quadro and thus labeled as "Workstation" everywhere.

in half and double precision it crushes the xp mercilessly.

The problem is with this GPU right now is we don't have gaining drivers for it, I don't believe. This was a professional card, not anything gamer, and professional drivers never work well with gamer loads.

Were also seen day one performance without a real driver update.

And don't think I'm making excuses for Vega, I honestly thought that day one it is going to be at the very worst at 1080, if it was Polaris efficiency it would be halfway between the 1080 and a 1080 TI, closer to the TI than the 1080. And with efficiency as their main focus or at least what they said their main focus was skies the limit on getting close to a Titan XP.

I count this as a preview but not the final version, the actual gamer version will be the final say on if it's good or not, when we can actually take the price that AMD is willing to sell it at into account not the professional use were paying 1000 for the card price.

You know the cheapest 1080 on the market right now is $550, right? Retard.

exactly so AMD should have given out to reveiwers and I dunno published a munual with specs or something so they can point this shit out

Instead they let the first pre orders get into the hands of the braindead

why does the card need 500 watts draw, and a 1500watt psu, raj?
>>
>>61130126
We already know NVidia outsells AMD even when they've got a worse product (Thermi) so AMD really should just drop out of consumer GPUs altogether if this is the shit they have to deal with on a regular basis. Let the gaymurs enjoy their monopoly prices.

true
>>
>>61130173
So either it's downclocking because it's not getting enough juice or the thing just throttles and tosses up inconsistent results (as seen in the OP) all the damn time because the blower sucks. I'm willing to bet it's column A. All shitposters are going to bet it's column B.
>>
>>61130208
Even Nvidia's blower cards throttle, this won't be any different.
It's unknown if the FW has any power throttling based on PSU current though.
>>
>>61130208
I've seen people run SLI 1080s on a 600w ITX PSU. It's most def the latter. Hell even the Titan Pascal would throttle. Blower coolers are just shit all around. It's going to be even worse with a 300 TDP card.
>>
>>61130112
Why send out a workstation gpu for people to use in non workstation products? also amd lost the gpu race a long time ago and will likely jump back in with navi.
>>
>>61130074
You do realize it don't works that way right?
Also a quality 500w psu can easily deliver 700w for a doable time. Even more, with the system it shouldn't be doing more than 500w.

If you call the problem is with drivers okay, I can accept the answer, but blaming power supply? Come on you have or haven't a stable psu. If there isn't enough juice there is crash and blue screen, not throttling.
>>
>>61130062
amd does because even if they sell the cards, they see no profit from them outside of msrp, and then they don't get market share in a very lucrative market, which will further optimized for nvidia.

Nvidia could give two shits, but amd does.

With an i7, watercooling, the Vega and all the fans he has running, he's drawing well over 500 watts peak
>>
>>61130301
well, if amd can do for gpus what they are currently doing for cpus, navi will be able to deliver a fuck load of preformance for an overall lower price than nvidia can put out with monolithic designs.
>>
>>61130315
Thanks the fucking card is not wasting heat like hell.
300w VGA + some shitty fans/pump/see less than 50w. A 4790k don't draw 150w but let's say 150w. That will go 500w well under a sustainable load on a Corsair platinum.

The only real hardware problem I can see is if the case is closed and the GPU is choked.

Just drop this psu meme

Why's everyone thinking it would beat a titan xp/980ti in gaming ?

Even AMD themselves said it would be between a 1080 and ti.

Don't get me wrong, barely beating a 1080 isn't a good start but vega with mature drivers is looking to be +10% faster that the 1080?

If it comes in at a decent price its a bonus.

amd does not make over msrp
amd is not selling gamer cards to gamers
nvidia is getting a stronger foothold because of that.

it may not sound like much, but amd has sub 25% gaming market share and if it gets much lower we will see nvidia only games.
>>
>>61130635
Because anti-glare plastic screens make everything look blurry. I have an easier time ignoring reflections (if there are any) than I do looking at a fuzzy "hi res" screens. This is the biggest thing that's kept me using the 1440p led apple cinema display I bought in 2011.

Much like getting your first hi-res (>1080p) monitor, you can't go back to plastic from glass.

when did companies stop supporting dual core only cpus? not 4 thread cpus, 2 threads total.
the market share of pure dual core cpus among gamers was likely higher than amds total market share at the time the first ones came out.
It may never be an exclusive 'only playable on nvidia' scenario, but a what the fuck bother with amd optimizations so cards that are damn near equal, see 480 and 1060 6gb, would be the 1060 being a a good 50-100% more fps then the 480.

Hell, a game could come out and actually use physx as a core gameplay mechanic, effectively killing any non nvidia card.

the less marketshare amd has the more bullshit like that can happen.

The original GTX Titans back in the day weren't great performers at gaming either. They were weren't that much faster than 7970 and 680 at the time.

Their own gimmick was general compute mainly FP32 perfomance.

The gamer-orientated refreshes of GK110 a.k.a 780 and 780Ti spank the GTX Titan at gaming for about 1/2 of the MSRP cost.

It seems like RX Vega is going to be find itself within 1080 and 1080Ti territory which is what most level-headed people were expecting.

The days of massive jumps in GPU performance for every generation have over over since Kepler/Tahiti.

I don't expect Volta to offer anything significant over Pascal in terms of gaming performance. Volta is geared more towards general compute since that's where all the big money is for large GPU designs.
>>
>>61131355
>>61131441
I'm going to wait until the card is in the hands of some actual competent reviewers and not complete idiots before making any judgements.

And those judgements won't be based off gaymur benchmarks anyway. They'll be based off how well it performs in workstation tasks.

Because "workstation" is loosely defined, it literally means a static machine for work you, difference between WX Vega and FE is that WX will be getting certification like WX Polaris, FE doesn't but still has decent compute/WS perf

WX Vega will probably also cost well over $2000

No, that is the workstation stuff. RX Vega is going to be priced accordingly for a gaming GPU. Meaning it won't cost anywhere near $1000.
>>
>>61131693
Gaming is way more important than this though

>>61131766
When we're talking about a prosumer card, not really.

Or simple shitposting.
Now you can pretend this is a gamer card all you want, it won't stop it from doing its intended job, which it seems to have fulfilled.

>1080 is now bad gaming performance
>day one drivers will never get better
Ok.
>>
>>61131857
1080 is a year old and a $550 card now, unless Vega is 1070 pricing it's DOA.

>>61131838
>it won't stop it from doing its intended job
Quadros perform well in games too, there's only so much difference between a workstation GPU and a consumer one, there is no reason why the consumer Vega will perform significantly better than the FE in games unless it's clocked at 1800MHz or higher. Driver optimizations don't make up for 30% of the game performance unless it's broken in literally every single video game out there.
>>
>>61131908
Dude, do i look like I give a damn? It gives close to P5000 performance on day1 for $1000, that's it, everything else is a bonus.
I couldn't even begin to give a shit about RX Vega, let it burn
>>
>>61131908
Driver optimizations should at least push it higher than 1080 levels, but not above 1080 ti.
>>
>>61131510
P4000 is $900. Is Vega Fe outperforming that by a huge margin?
>>
>>61131949
It's closer to a $2000 P5000, so yes.

All non GP100 silicon is 1/32 FP64 you fucking idiot, and another thing, Vega is 2:1 FP16, while again,, all non-GP100 silicon has laughable FP16, it's not even an option for GP102, much less 104.

It looks like they're gonna be kicking ass for the next few years in the CPU market, notably in servers.
GPU's on the other hand seem to be heading the same direction as "great value", but I doubt miners gobbling up every single AMD GPU is hurting their profits.
>>
>>61132039
They have too many partners lined up in servers to go bankrupt. Zen architecture is a win any way you look at it. I don't think they'll ever beat Nvidia again though, either in raw performance or in professional applications. Nvidia is way more aggressive than Intel.
>>
>>61132036
it's not destinated for gaming you dumb shit

and AMD did a "gaming mode" even though it's not for gaming, just because retards like you think the most expensive thing is the best one for everything
>>
>>61132174
Maybe if they build up some R&D dosh and put their CPU advantage to use, but that's years in advance.

Though if they can do the same they did with EPYC on GPUs, but I doubt it, not even Nvidia can fight off that much raw cheap silicon
>>
>>61132174
Anon people were saying the same thing when faildozer was their only option for 5 years, even amidst the knowledge of Zen.

Now that AMD has the biggest CPU development hurdles taken care of they can afford to spread more R&D around to other departments. Maybe in another couple gens, heck maybe Navi really is a new "ground up" game changer like Zen.
>>
>>61132501
My point was Nvidia isn't the same company as Intel. AMD caught Intel off guard by sandbagging Ryzen, and Intel had virtually abandoned desktop in focus of enterprise, which succeeded, and mobile, which failed. Nvidia isn't just waiting around for AMD though, they're aggressively promoting GPGPU, trying to create a walled garden of CUDA processing. They're not just taking on AMD, they're trying to take on Intel as well. Huang is an absolute madman trying to own literally every market space he can.

Screen cap this
>>
>>61132637
It's likely that RX Vega will set somewhere between 1080 and 1080 ti, so if you were hoping for it to BTFO the 1080 ti, might want to pick up that rope again.

Except that $2000 Quadro is still beating Vega in any workstation related tasks.

Vega FE is so fucking bad that it has to compare itself to 1080 and Titan XP on AMD's official website when both of those cards aren't even workstation cards.
>>
>>61133396
This card is aimed at game devs, people who do modelling and then want to quickly check how their models work, or maybe even solidworks users.

You know, visualisation, where CUDA is shit and was for the past 10 years.
>>
>>61133401
Do you mean the 6900k? or the 6950x?
Cause the 7820x or whatever the fuck it's called beats the 6900k
>>
>>61133414
Looks to me, like it's great value for performance it gives and people who would need workstation card would be happy to grab Vega.

1800x also isn't better than 6900x in every aspect, but compromise of price/performance makes it a better deal.

>>61133396
Although I'm impressed by the performance, yeah, this launch also confuses the hell out of me.
It's not exactly aimed at gaming card, but it can do some gaymen, but it can also render stuff. And it's in a price range that's too cheap for big companies but fairly expensive for an individual.
Maybe it's aimed at small studios?
>>
>>61133455
Pretty sure anon is talking about the 7900X
>>
>>61133463
I think so, I'm literally not trying to start a flamewar I'm just baffled at the marketing of this thing
It can't really play games, and it can render stuff okie dokie but not as good as the type of cards actual companies buy. Maybe it's like an "At home" sort of card so you can take your work home with you? But still doesn't make munch sense because my job lets me take my PCs GPU out when I go home so I can get shit done at home too
>>
>>61133427
7820x or evemn 7900x has one major flaw, L3 cache, performance is abysmal to say the least in software where L3 matters, when L3 doesn't it's beats everything on the market.

Problem is inconstancy performance that even lands it behind 1800x in some software and worst part is, there is no cure for it.

Hell, I think a lot of people who aren't solely interested in the gaming aspects would be as confused as you.
I don't know about the at home part though. It's not often you see people transporting desktops from work. But maybe someone who does work at home could benefit from this card.
It seems like a product aimed at a very sparse and diffuse set of buyers, and it does not make much sense to me, but hey I don't know about how the market works.

>with is exactly the argument was used against Ryzen.

I primarily because places like /g/ (i.e /v/) and OCN all talk a big game how they only buy the tippest toppest model and anything below these halos products in shit when the reality is 1) these people don't and 2) just because a company doesn't have the aboslute best (or in this case, fastest) product doesn't mean their entire product stack is worthless.

That is what this vega stuff is all about - AMD havem ade it quite clear that for gaming RX vega is the product you want (and its performance is still unknown) but /g/ is taking the FE's gaming performance as gospel despite the numerous factors that can - and in fact do - lead to lower performance its gaming branded equivalent.

/g/ simply does not realise quite how much of a modern gpu's gaming performance is on the software side (as in, specific game profiles in the driver) that the FE doesn't use. Its why even on the Nvidia side without their game ready branded drivers performance is often shockingly bad until Nvidia go and hand tune a profile for any given game (pic related).

tl;dr /g/ is being retarded as is the norm.

When the inventor of the Intel circumsion tool is calling x299 shit you know something is up.

It's relative. Kabylake X draws substantially more power than its rival, and that's why it's housefires.

Vega pulls about the same amount of power as its rival.
>>
>>61134006
It pulls 100 more watts than a 1080ti at a lower clockspeed
>>
>>61134034
Vega also has a 945Mhz clock speed beating a 2000Mhz OC'D 1070 and getting really close to 1080ti

really gets the primal brain fired up.

they do. it's gotten much better to the point where it's arguably ignore-able, but an AG layer will always diffuse light on either side to some degree, this not being a true representation of the underlying pixels on the panel.

amd release a workstation card that sits in the high end gaming cards

ITS A FAILURE

amd later one release the actualy gaming cards
btfo nvidia

oh amd is DOA
>>
>>61134657
It has all the streaming processors the gaming gpu will have, it has HBM2 and more of it than the gaming gpu will likely have.

The only difference with the gaming card will be that they might solder off some useless shit or disable it. Not add anything to it.

Also they might clock it a bit higher , but with these kinds of tdp I doubt there is much room.

So yes this is a good indication of what the 'gaming' card will be capable of.

And that means it will most likely not beat the 1080ti, but will beat the 1080. A year later, and at a significantly higher price.
>>
>>61134689
they will solder off quite a lot
they will have another microcode
they will have a non ecc hbm2
they will obviously have drivers tailored to games
and obviously they will have a bigger room for oc and not being actively throttled down the engineers on beyond3d said they are expecting a maximum of 30% increase (assuming the drivers are top notch for it) on perfomance
>>
>>61134713
HBM2 supports ECC by default and there's no OC headroom. RX Vega is DOA.
>>
>>61134713
My point still stands, the actual performance won't be miles off from what we are seeing from the frontier edition, although it might improve somewhat.

That still puts it in between the 1080 and the 1080ti which is disappointing, considering it's a year late to the party and Volta is on its way

One thing is certain, heads will roll over at RTG.
Lowering the announced pricing right at release was already a red flag that something was off. To top it off they're not even controlling the reviews that come out, and instead we have to rely on random streamers to get every little bit of info. If this tells me anything, is that they knew it was a lost cause for quite some time, hell so far we're not even seeing ipc improvements from fiji.

If it's less than 1000$ then it's so worth it, the bad thing is that it would probably cost like 400$ where i live because taxes n shit

>>61135881
It was Vega FE not Vega RX.
>>
>>61135837

This, there won't be any miracle performance gains, I'm expecting 10% more at most.
Which means amd will have to rethink their strategy marketing the mainstream cards, namely portrait it as a 1080 competitor with a very aggressive pricing. Problem is this now way too late, either the price is incredibly low, or they had better made an incredible mining card to have them even get off the shelves these months.

Good job on being vague as fuck: "workstation related tasks"

Unless we're talking about CUDA,framework which AMD has already come up with an alternative(although not remotely close to being so mature) then i doubt a quadro card with the same price-point beats the FE.

That being said, FE isn't even that much destinated to the workloads which could be comparable to using CUDA cores(ML,scientific,rendering,etc);It's more destinated towards game-dev,which is way more "light" than the one mentioned before.(That's why probably it also has a game mode)

If you wanna compare apples with apples, compare Quadro(even Tesla but that's kinda different) with Instinct cards, those are destinated to the same tasks the quadro cards are

You were the first to say it was RX card. The burden of proof is on you.

>>61135991
Why would they show game performance on their supposedly workstation card?
>>
>>61135991
The RX version is only a few weeks away, so that literally proves nothing.

They might well have been showing an early sample of RX, which makes sense seeing as they were showing gaming performance, in which it would obviously fair better than the FE
>>
I don't give a fuck. There are no consumer cards and no benchmarks yet.
>>
>>61135986
It's their own stupid fault.

AMD has been very clear about the gaming performance, both demo's they have shown pit it in between the 1080 and the 1080ti.

But ofcourse fanboys Always overhype the product.

citation needed faggot, only people who got over-hyped claimed those things, way to stereotype so many people by judging few pajeets on /g/

It was fucking obvious that Intel would still beat AMD in games since the games today are favoring clock speeds and not the number of cores, just proves that 90% of the game studios are filled with indians who can't into parallelism

Again, R7 at least wasn't even marketed for SOLELY gaming.But the bad thing is that to attract customers most the tests they and the reviewers did were done with games instead of showing real-world multi-tasking/workloads power.

Go compile the linux kernel in 90 seconds or run 4 VMs with 7700k, see how that works for you

The thing is Ryzen is a legitimate good product. Even if it doesn't sport the ultimate single core performance, it is a fantastic jack of all trades. Vega on the other hand looks sketchy at best. What we have so far puts it little ahead of gp104, which is a disappointment for a supposed flagship with a chip of this size, coming this late. Add to that even the signals from amd suggest they don't hold much faith in it either.

Still, ignore him, he's just memeing

for $999 its amazing value though
the thing that beats it is $2000
right in the middle between q4000 and q5000

you all forget it's got ECC memory it's slower than gaming card by default
>>
>>61136175
Of course it will do shitty in frameworks & software designed for CUDA/ ported for OpenCL at best.

AMD legitimately took a big, worthy risk by making their own alternative of CUDA,RocM, which is only like 1 year old.By making such interesting hardware(FE,though Instinct is the goods) they hope to attract more of this market to developing RocM since their hardware is cheaper for the horsepower they give.

It's kind of like the gaming market with the exclusive titles for AMD/Nvidia, but it's just for another industry(with the exception of FE which isn't exactly for AI/scientific/rendering/etc)

Had the misfortune of reading the reddit threads. Misinformation and poo-flinging everywhere.

I'm still waiting on real results form someone who's clearly not a retard with a potato setup.

I don't understand why everyone is so upset about it under-performing the 1080-ti Xp, It was known long ago that the Vega cards would possibly sit between the 1080 and 1080-ti. AMD seems to have delivered.

>It's a year behind and Volta is right around the corner.
I saw this being said so many times in those threads. Most people hold onto their cards for about 3 years anyway. If the price is right, most will be happy with the RX. If Volta really is all it's promised to be, it'll get picked up when the price drops sometime later.
>>
>>61136261
>with the exception of FE which isn't exactly for AI/scientific/rendering/etc)

it is for rendering, I'd guess small studios will jump on it for content creation since it's twice cheaper than quadro 5000 and not much slower

instinct is for AI and teraflopping
>>
>>61136287
>If Volta really is all it's promised to be
10% bigger dies? Wow.
>>
>>61136287
>If Volta really is all it's promised to be
nothing good for now, they boasted giant die which is cool but raw power barely increased even pascal was more promising
>>
>>61136255

And the thing that matches it is $500.
We still lack a lot of workstation benchmarks, yes, but after this show, Vega has a lot of ground to claw back to become a worthwhile alternative. And when with 1000€ in hand I can immediately grab a P4000, which beats the FE in the little WS results we have so far, Vega's value is deflating fast.

can someone explain why vega's PCB is so much bigger than Fury's?
>>
>>61136005
Does this look like the Vega RX?
Will the RX have a USB and various headers on the back of the card?
No it's a Frankensteined Vega chip and the first Vega chip to be produced was the FE which means it was either mostly an FE or something so beta its unlike the FE or RX
>>
>>61136290
Well yeah rendering is both in content creation & for scientific purposes(obviously it's not only used in game-dev) so i guess i was referring more to the latter.

Instinct is probably more comparable to Tesla to be honest, and FE is more of an in-between

You can still see p4000 beating Vega in solid works and creo and remember p4000 wasn't tested on the same hardware.
>>
>>61136349
Instinct is the new Tesla competitor, yes, and unlike the previous FirePros, they run completely headless and are designed to be run for DL/ML/HPC/Virtualization in enterprise.
WX Pro series is their professional cards with viewports meant to segment the FirePro market into HPC and content creation, FE is more or less an early adopter Vega card to further bridge WX Pro and consumer Vega. Considering how late it is, I think the AMD software team are probably scrambling to get the drivers together for "Day 1" for RX Vega, hence why nothing happens when you switch from non-gaming to gaming mode.
>>
Ok dude you got him. It was RX Vega with gaym ready drivers(tm). I think there is no point to release the Vega then. RIP in piece. Everyone go home. BTW I just ordered GTX1090Ti. Pic related is my order receip! :D

sadly nobody ran any opencl benchmarks, but from the mining I think it's safe to say it's even shit at compute
how the hell can they mess something up so baldy
seem like it's worse than fiji clock for clock
I was expecting to get the wc version as a compute card, but even that appears to be shit.
at least it has fp16 so I might still consider it if they release some magical fixes

it is faster than the titan in workstation workloads, it's crushing things like solidworks and autoCAD. Gaming wise it doesn't have the drivers for games, so games just get generic adapter performance. the FE is actually closer to a quaddro in terms of optimization and performance, and a quaddro does way worse than the same chip on a GTX when it comes to gaming.
>>
Why is everyone so upset that there is going to be a gtx 1080 competitor that isn't bios and volt locked with gpu boost fuckery giving you only the illusion of being able to overclock?
Oh yeah and the competitor will let you use adapative sync tech with out paying the insane fucking g-sync price.

If it performs like the gtx 1080 but costs $100 more I'm still buying it because I'll save $2-300 on gsync and be able to actually control and overclock my card.
No, the 2150 pascal "overclock" isn't enough. It's exactly 10% on every single pascal card regardless of silicon quality. Pic related can do 2150 on a 1060 6gb. Unlocked 1080s have been able to reach 2300. Volta will be bigger pascal with gddr6 and more voltage so you can clock higher.

I get most people don't overclock like I do and so the nvidia thing with gpu boost 3.0 doesn't bother them but it SHOULD just on principle alone. There are two key videos on youtube showing how sinister it is.
It doesn't get in the way of LN2 overclocking or the normie who just google a guide and copy someone elses settings. It only gets in the way of people who use good cooling to try and get the most out of the GPU for 24/7 use, IE having a 1070 pushing a monitor that nvidia would rather you buy a 1080 for.
Those videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bflLDenKirQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1YCoTXBNJY

That totally aside, you don't overclock and if you do the fake 10% "overclocks" on keep you happy, freesync is a HUGE deal.
It adds almost nothing to the cost of the monitor and is such a great feature especially if you are a high refresh fag like me or even a 4k user.
Lots of game engines don't like running at 144 fps, you need insane ram and cpu to do it. So going from 144 fps to 60 fps is really jaring when it happenss, adaptive sync fixes this.
it also makes 4k gaming much more realistic because going from 45 to 60 regularly is tolerable.
If nvidia let me use freesync I would either keep my 980ti(a card you can actually OC) or maybe buy a 1080ti or volta.
