It's like $20 less and double the power. Same story with the 1070, you can get one for $399 now same as Vega 56 MSRP.

Only reason to get Vega is if you're an AMD fanboy or need it for Freesync.

'AMD is using the flagship Radeon RX Vega 64 Liquid cooled models in most of the benchmarks and this variant has the highest clock speeds of all. In performance tests, AMD used a reference GTX 1080 against their RX Vega 64 Liquid edition and most of the results were on par with the GeForce solution. The difference here is that AMD is calling RX Vega 64 as the smoother option for the same price.'

RTG would be finished and bankrupt if not for AMD's CPU division.

Isn't the air cooled Vega 64 rated at 345w? Honestly that's my only hold up with this card.
>inb4 hurr why do you care, it's only $0.25 more per year to run!

Cost is no issue. It's just more power means more heat. More heat means more noise. All so I can get the same performance as a card that uses 180w (stock) to 230w (heavy OC). As someone with no freesync monitor, this card does little to entice. HBM2 is sweet though. Waiting on Nvidia to use HBM2 or a price drop on Vega 64 ($400 range), whichever comes first. Either one is already faster than my 980ti.

Yes and no, there was an update and it looks like it 90% works in borderless windowed mode now, kinda. Seems like you'd still want to run it in fullscreen for the best utilization of the effect though. Overtime I'm sure the technology will only get better.
>If so, what the fuck is the point when most run their games I'm borderless windowed mode?

>As for power tuning, we asked whether this was just tightening of the power target or if actual power performance features were enabled under the hood. Turns out, RX Vega isn’t just a matter of restricting power target, they’re actually doing something for power optimization. We couldn’t get explicit examples at this time. One thing we do know is that the voltage targets change, so voltage checks are at different frequencies than FE, and voltage should be lower. We’d expect that this will align with our findings in the undervolting testing on Vega: Frontier Edition, where power consumption can equalize while improving performance. It’s still AVFS, but just a better tuning profile than FE.

>We also asked AMD’s architects, including Mike Mantor, about whether DSBR was actually disabled in Vega: Frontier Edition or whether it was just a rumor. The architects loosely confirmed that tile-based rasterization was in fact disabled for Frontier Edition’s launch, which we think mostly aligns with statements about pushing the card out in time, and noted that DSBR will be enabled on both Vega FE and RX Vega on launch of RX Vega.

>>61674512
Ah ok I see. Well I hope they perfect the tech behind borderless window and freesync. I can't use fullscreen because it always fucks something up. I'm usually doing something else on another monitor while I game on my primary one. Encoding, ripping, or even just a movie. When I want to alt+tab out, 99% of the time the game I'm trying to minimize will freeze and I'll have to close and re-launch the game.
>>
>>61674927
Borderless windowed adds triple buffering in windows 10 which can't be removed, which seems completely counterintuitive for a freesync/gsync output.

Except that's all you always see from AMD. AOTS, DOOM and BF games. They literally go even with Pascal's 1080 in couple of DX12 games and Vulkan just like Fury X against 1070. However both AMD and /g/'s shills ignore the remaining 95% of games in people's libraries that still use DX11 or Gamerworks where 1070 is 20% faster than Fury X and its going to be the same case for Vega.

Both benchmarks show different results with fury X.

41 in top bench and 49 in lower bench.

Thats 17.8% difference. Meaning to be truly fair you can scale the top bench by 17.8%

To be truly fair the Vega bench needs to be scaled 17.8% landing it at67fps.

7fps better and beating it by quite a bit

Every day someone has to tell niggers the difference between TDP, average power draw, and peak power draw.
Trolling or not you're all just stupid.

Peaks =/= average

My coffee maker peaks at 1200w when it is switched on. Does that mean it draws 1.2Kw for operation? Nope, it averages 700 watts, meaning it draws .7Kw over its entire run time
Likewise, the 1080 peaks at ~285w, but the sustained average is ~180w. Peak power =/= sustained load. Everything has power peaks, the peaks are irrelevant. The average over a running time is what people talk about when they talk about power usage.

My cars peak output is 260Lb-Ft torque, but most of the time its average output is 65-130 torque (on the highway). Comparing GPU load to car output at a given RPM, while still convoluted, is probably the most relate-able.

And the reason why professionals use Quadro cards aren't for the hardware, per say, it's the driver support that goes with it. That's why giant companies like Autodesk have specifically certified drivers for their versions of software.

If you mean the cheapest 1080 you can buy anywhere in Sweden right now is 5999 SEK which is $740 and you think $740 is the same as $500 then you're right. If you, however, accept the reality that $740 is a bit more than $500 then you're very wrong.

>>61674238
>Same story with the 1070, you can get one for $399
Nope. the cheapest 1070 is 4900 SEK which is $603. That's $200 more than $400.

This may change if AMD VEGA cards become available, though. Right now there is not a single local store that has any AMD graphics cards other than the RX 550 so NVidia can basically charge what they want. The 1060 has also gone up in price a whole lot lately.

I'll probably reveal too much about myself by sharing this but I'll do it anyway.

I live in a small town which used to have about 20000 people. The we added about 2000 immigrants during the last 3 years.

This is a news story from a few days ago,
http://www.vf.se/kristinehamn/bilbrand-i-centrala-kristinehamn/
another car-fire. The source is my local paper, you'll find these in every local paper for every town in Sweden but it's never ever mentioned in any national paper or national media or international news media for that matter.

This funny piece was published in the same newspaper two days ago,
http://www.vf.se/kristinehamn/vidtar-atgarder-efter-oroligheterna-i-centrum/
yet another local article about "emergency" meetings between the social services, the police and the local governing bodies because there has been 10 car-fires and 3 robberies during the last 18 days. They sat down and talked and decided to do "something" and that something amounts to hiring a few more security guards during the weekends.

Do you still question if Sweden is or should be the laughing stock of the world?

>>61674178
Fuck off shill. I've had enough of forcing a composition pipeline to get actual vsync with stuttering because Nvidia couldn't figure out how to do things without a compositor. I'll be getting Vega even if it performs worse.

Difference is actually about 19%-20%, which would put Vega around 65-66fps. In any case, assuming the result would be accurate, being that the bottom benchmark shows the 470 and Fury X outperforming the 1060 6GB and 1070 respectively, it serves only to demonstrate a best-case scenario for AMD. Offering at best 20% better performance than a 1080 in only a select few games at 4K and with high power draw in spite of launching 15 months later? Apologies for being so trite, but it's too little, too late.

This is exactly the marketing AMD is going for.

While I do favor AMD, it's still disappointing that Vega is similar in performance to cards that have almost a year in the market. Specially considering Tesla is most likely coming next year and we just don't know what AMD has planned out for 2018 (they will most likely use the same strategy as with the 400 line).

Personally, I'm being convinced once again that the flagship AMD GPUs are not worth it, I might as welll just buy a 580 for FreeSync since it rocks practically every game at 1080p.

Why is a 13 TF GPU losing to a 11TF GPU? Why is AMD retarded and incapable of making a balanced gpu that doesn't waste like 20% of its transistors on shader it can't even use.

The rumor is Vega 64 will launch at just slightly above 1080 levels. It will have the same power consumption.

It's not going to overthrow the 1080 but it's a great value proposition especially if you want to take advantage of a FreeSync monitors, especially because only Goyim bought Gsync.

Vega FE had rasterization turned off (what Nvidia and Mobile GPUs use), RX Vega will be significantly less power hungry.

AMD basically memed on people who bought the 1,000$ FE. You should really read up on what you're attempting to talk about.
>>
>>61694887
did they even mention TDP officially anywhere?
>>
>>61694858
Well Nividia does offload as much processing as possible to the CPU to help make their GPU's look more energy efficient
>>
>>61694835

Vega's performance is all over the shop. The FE tangles with big pascal is srs bsns workloads but the gaming results of the FE are considerably lower than one would expect based upon the previously mentioned performance.

/g/ naturally only cares about gaming as /g/ is basically /v/ with more anime posters and as such takes no interest into trying to understand what might be causing this difference and - assuming vega is simply shit tier at vidya - why it ultimately is irrelevant when AMD as a company is gunning for the big boy markets (read: data centres and the like). RX vega is the gaymen crowd - based upon current info - being thrown under the bus so AMD can break into the lucrative big business markets.

Are you retarded friendo? Let's say you have a pile of red and blue Skittles and your task is to transport the blue ones, but you can also bring reds, its just more work for you, your boss doesn't care. The old way was to take everything. Thebtrip takes long and it makes you use more effort to carry all of the Skittles indiscriminately. But then you get a neat sifting tool that basically gets rid of 90% of the red ones in no time. Suddenly you have only 66% of the load. You do it quicker and you have to carry fewer pounds.

Vega will have the same performance. Turn that bitch up to 1440p and watch the 1080 struggle to achieve 30 FPS minimums, Crank it up to 4K and the 1080 can only achieve 35 FPS average, with frequent drops into the twenties, .1% minimums in the teens.

>>
>>61695014

People are taking the specs and reviews of the VEGA FE and think it's going to be anything near the performance and TDP of RX vega.

TDP of RX Vega will be 150w. Full card power draw will be around 225-250w. It will be significantly faster as well. Just wait the few days until some benchmarks come out

Vega 64 will have about the same 4K performance as 1080 Ti. 1080p and 1440p performance will be more in line with the 1080. This is due to the massive memory bandwidth of the 1080 Ti and Vega. Like always just wait for benchmarks.

The 480 didn't use tile Rasterization. It's the same thing Nvidia first used between the old Nvidia housefires and their energy efficient chips used today. Go look up the difference between Fermi and Kepler. Now think- AMD is going to skip the earlier generations that Nvidia used for tile based rasterization, catching up with Nvidia.

Vega FE is a rushed piece of garbage that had tile-based Rasterization disabled.

RX Vega could easily have 50% more performance and 50% less power draw.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/10536/nvidia-maxwell-tile-rasterization-analysis

Tile-based rasterization is used on mobile chips, but this is actually the secret sauce Nvidia used to outperform AMD since Maxwell. Achieving much higher clocks, and using way less power.

If they do it earlier than that the performance gains are going to be minimal, higher end chips will be better due to GDDR6, and what they'll probably do is release a bigger pascal chip as a new titan, and drop the SKU's place by one

1080 Ti is now 2080, 1080 is now 2070, 1070 is now 2060, etc.

Watch the die size to see if they actually did anything or just made the chips bigger because there's been no actual performance improvements.

None of this is true. AMD lied, the GPU market died.
Vega was our last hope of breaking the monopoly in the GPU market, but they blew it.

I've always had AMD GPUs, but this time I'm going to buy a GTX 1080 as soon as they're at around 450€ again to rub AMD's nose in how much of a failure they are.

>Turns out, RX Vega isn’t just a matter of restricting power target, they’re actually doing something for power optimization. We couldn’t get explicit examples at this time. One thing we do know is that the voltage targets change, so voltage checks are at different frequencies than FE, and voltage should be lower. We’d expect that this will align with our findings in the undervolting testing on Vega: Frontier Edition, where power consumption can equalize while improving performance. It’s still AVFS, but just a better tuning profile than FE.

>The architects loosely confirmed that tile-based rasterization was in fact disabled for Frontier Edition’s launch, which we think mostly aligns with statements about pushing the card out in time, and noted that DSBR will be enabled on both Vega FE and RX Vega on launch of RX Vega.
>>
>>61696095
Why bother optimizating a niche GPU make that is less than 20% of the PC market and will still run worse anyway.

Look at doom 2016 it's a perfect example.

AMD GPUs have been dogshit since the fury even with a full fat 4096 core count they can't pull their weight even when saturated at 4k.

Who programs the driver?
>>
>>61695278
He's either false flagging or doesn't actually understand what he's talking about.

TBR accounts for much of the performance gain of Maxwell over Kepler, and since we already have benchmarks of Vega FE in games without the benefit of AMD's version of it (DSBR), you should pretty much ignore any existing benchmark where RX Vega appears to perform the same as FE as it should mean the benchmark was run without the benefit of DSBR.

Last I heard, AMD estimated that DSBR would reduce memory bandwidth requirements by up to 30%, and since Vega FE is memory bandwidth bottlenecked in games at the moment, there should be pretty close to a 1:1 performance gain for every % of memory bandwidth requirement saved by DSBR. That doesn't include the benefits that come from any associated reduction in power consumption enabling higher clocks.

Of course, the question then hinges on how well implemented the RTG driver group can have DSBR by the time RX Vega launches, and if and how much their implementation of DSBR can be improved post-launch. It seems AMD prioritised getting the drivers for WX Vega and SSG Vega finished before RX Vega.
>>
>>61696386
It's been known since the fury x

Poor yeilds also confirmed with the vega10 as well

AMD shat the bed hard and even good min fps won't matter once volta launches.

They aimed at the mid end and failed with Polaris to fucken miners and same with Vega as well with the high end.

Yes, Maxwell didn't gain much from TBR over Maxwell. Oh wait. Also, a memory bandwidth bottlenecked GPU architecture won't benefit from TBR which directly reduces memory bandwidth requirements. Oh wait. Also, Vega FE didn't trade blows with a P6000 in geometry perf in pro applications were DSBR was enabled. Oh wait.

>>61696510

No, it's working in reducing the necessary memory bandwidth but that is precisely what is bottlenecking Vega in games, while not bottlenecking it in 3D rendering pro applications, hence the yawning gulf between Vega FE's performance in pro 3D rendering applications and in games.

As leather jacket man shills have been so fond of repeatedly pointing out, 3D rendering is 3D rendering and a Quadro P6000 does very well in games. How would you otherwise reconcile Vega FE's performance in 3D rendering in 3ds Max, Soldiworks and Creo vs Vega FE's performance in 3D rendering games? Magic? Both should not be possible simultaneously unless there is something fundamentally different with the driver implementations since in both cases you are talking about 3D rendering.
