Gamers got shafted by AMD again... another arch for compute...

>lil baby gaymur is mad his favorite corporations are no longer pandering directly to him

They see greener pastures and much richer customers in other markets. Deal with it fagotron. Also, Volta is meme-centric as well.

The biggest margins come from enterprise always, if they're able to get make major profits, maybe they'll humor you with a card that doesn't suck ass.

I want gaymers to leave this board.

you have to go back

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAW


Just buy Nvidia for your bideo games and shut the fuck up.

Because gaymens don't buy AMD, while enterprise might/do. Because creating 1 chip and selling it for 6000-7000 USD is much much more profitable than selling it for 500-600 USD.
Is this so hard to understand?

"Technology" does not make this exclusive to non-gaymen stuff.

>Talking to AMD’s engineers, what especially surprised me is where the bulk of those transistors went; the single largest consumer of the additional 3.9B transistors was spent on designing the chip to clock much higher than Fiji. Vega 10 can reach 1.7GHz, whereas Fiji couldn’t do much more than 1.05GHz. Additional transistors are needed to add pipeline stages at various points or build in latency hiding mechanisms, as electrons can only move so far on a single clock cycle; this is something we’ve seen in NVIDIA’s Pascal, not to mention countless CPU designs. Still, what it means is that those 3.9B transistors are serving a very important performance purpose: allowing AMD to clock the card high enough to see significant performance gains over Fiji.

>Speaking of Fiji, there’s been some question over whether the already shipping Vega FE cards had AMD’s Draw Steam Binning Rasterizer enabled, which is one of the Vega architecture’s new features. The short answer is that no, the DSBR is not enabled in Vega FE’s current drivers. Whereas we have been told to expect it with the RX Vega launch. AMD is being careful not to make too many promises here – the performance and power impact of the DSBR vary wildly with the software used – but it means that the RX Vega will have a bit more going on than the Vega FE at launch.

It's not an arch for compute. Vega does very well in most pro rendering workloads, it's just that DSBR isn't enabled yet and so Vega is bandwidth starved in games. Sorry, you're going to have to Wait for Drivers(TM) to see how well DSBR is implemented (theoretically it should reduce bandwidth requirements by up to 30%) to see how Vega really performs in games.
