quite the cheap shot against an individual who does far more deeper analysis than him.

Get e-celeb status and get normies floading your channel because you appeal to them and record in 4k and suddenly you start thinking you can take a shit on the people who made the industry what it is and through their critical analysis ensure manuf's stick to quality products...

Very interesting... Further complicated by this round of releases being the last remaining source of attention they'll get for a while. I wonder if the bandwagon of 4k shills will start engaging in clown like theatrics like Linus to keep people coming to their channels.

There's a place for steve in the upcoming timeline.
Pulling shit like this instead of showing him support is a good way to be shut out of it.

>>61869464
This is a number given to brainlets incapable of specing their psu based on power draw. If the vidya draw 400W and your CPU draws 100W and your periiphs draw 50, you're fine with a 750W PSU. If you add in more cards you just do basic arithmetic and arrive at what PSU you need.

Because they still have some unevolved faggots at HQ, they decide to give preference to the e-celebs who shill the hardest and produce 4k videos for the masses... Typically the reviewers who stick to visuals above critical analysis get first shot at unveiling the product.

Instead of having engineers and corporate individuals do product launches, they've resorted to a handful of jackwads on youtube. Therefore, you get 20 reviews that all run the same generic ass benchmarks that give you no deeper understanding of the product beyond vidya.

The dumber the analysis, the earlier they get emargo's lifted.
This is what happens when normies become the dominant consumers.

I watch videos to be informed.
I find Gamer's Nexus does very detailed analysis that other generic shills don't.
While you may think its not a jab, the average brainlet who watches a brainlet e-celeb feels somehow strengthened against critical analysis. There's more than meets the eye.

As such and because I dont buy products because some shill makes a 4k video and runs gaming benchmark, I tend to see beyond the smoke and mirrors of what you call 'cross promotion'.

That being said, after this final product launched and I dig through the bullshit and get the information I need, I will have no need to wade into any of this. I wish, at the level of complexity hardware is approaching that AMD did more to detail/launch their own products via engineers and people who know wtf they're talking about instead of putting it in the hands of the biggest shill with the most youtube viewers. Alas, fools with money need to be marketed to.

I'm curious to see how much of a difference having a good OS and drivers makes for it. The older Fury hardware is about 11% faster on the latest Mesa than it is on AMD's official Windows driver.

Its just a shame that they haven't gotten everyhing in the mainline kernel yet.

AMD need to do something, when their MSRP < $200 4GB RX 570 is going for ~$350 and their MSRP < $300 8GB RX 580 is going for $500 something has to give now that they're launching cards with $400-$500 MSRPs.

>>61871255
If the prices stay at around the MSRP and its a decent bump up from the Fury which generally falls between the 1070 and the 1080 in most benchmarks (Linux Mesa) then it should be pretty good value for the money and maybe the other prices will fall to where they should be.

If rather than forcing price drops of the Polaris cards and staying at MSRP the prices instead jump up based on what the Polaris cards are priced at now, then they'll be totally non competitive.

>>61871036
>No amount of driver work will leverage memory bandwith bottleneck.
>Vega is DOA.
Might be fixable with BIOS updates, but RTG is sort of in a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation with that. If they fix the memory bandwidth before launch it will make Vega way faster at mining ETH and miners will buy as many as they can. If they don't fix it by Monday, everyone will shitpost their asses off calling Vega DOA because Vega 56 only beats AIB OC'd 1070's and Vega 64 is going to only beat AIB OC'd 1080's.

The rumors of a massive increase to mining performance out of nowhere suggest that there may be a development BIOS that might mitigate the memory bandwidth bottleneck to some extent, but who knows how close to being ready it is?
>>
>new uarch with much higher clocks and fuckton of improvements performs barely better than bottleneckfest that is Fiji
Where did everthing go wrong?
>>61871344
Who the fuck cares about miners.
Holy fuck launch day impressions is EVERYTHING for GPU.
Vega is DOA.
>>
>>61871369
So your bet is that BIOS updates cannot significantly improve memory bandwidth then?

We will see. I've been following Vega for months now trying to figure WTF is going on with this card. It's two days from launch and we still have no fucking idea WTF is going on with the memory bandwidth. There is no earthly way they could have intended this, and it cannot be a hardware bug because they had plenty of time to respin. So why the fuck does Vega appear to only get ~300 GB/s in memory bandwidth?!
>>
>>61871415
>So why the fuck does Vega appear to only get ~300 GB/s in memory bandwidth?!
Who knows.
It's DOA anyway. The "leaks" killed any positive impression Vega can deliver.
>>
>>61871458
>Who knows.
The more important question is whether it can be fixed with BIOS updates, and if it can, how soon RTG can have that BIOS update ready? And is that upcoming BIOS update the thing that was causing reports of a massive increase in ETH hashrate (since ETH hashing rate is memory bandwidth bound).
>>
>>61871458
DOA at launch due to the incompetence of the Windows driver team is fine with me if it keeps the prices low and the Mesa devs deliver like they've been doing.

Mainstream gaming is only a few years away from there being no real need for anything beyond what an SOC can do. Long term the mining market is probably good for the GPU market.

As per a reviewer buddy of mine Vega are not that amazing for mining. Maybe with some optimizations down the line... Once the reviews hit miners will start canceling preorders if they made any because of the hype.
>>
>>61871715
Why, same reason they get 580 instead of 1060.

580 is better than 1060 in mining given the power consumption.

Not sure what you're talking about, everything is supported by the new kernel module now and the only reason the older hardware hasn't switched over is the kernel maintainers think hdmi and display port audio is more important than Vulkan support out of the box right now.
Once the DC code gets merged then all GCN hardware should be on the same code base.

Its also funny in this image to see AMD touting the open drivers and completely omitting a comparison to their own in-house driver because the open drivers are about 150% faster in basically all of the tests.

If you are planning to be an early adopter you are in a world of trouble, Vega isn't even properly supported at kernel level yet and proprietary GPU-PRO drivers are only supported by Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, not even 17.04
>>
>>61872828

>>61872850
It's going to work out of the box because the instruction set hasn't really changed and vega FE already works out of the box.

>>
>>61872850
>Vega isn't even properly supported at kernel level yet
There's complete patches available, they just haven't gone upstream yet.

Having to run a custom kernel with pre-release modules and Mesa nightly will be a bit rough but it should settle down relatively quickly. Its all in way better shape than it was when I got my 7970.
>>
>>61872944
They don't have crashing issues at all though
AMDrones memes that into existence

Nvidia and AMD perform the same in Linux, there aren't driver issues for either
>>
>>61872944
Vega FE is only working with the proprietary drivers and Ubuntu 16.04.02 and not even the new kernel stack 16.04.03.

>>61872974
Hence I said early adopter. I wouldn't call messing with kernel and mesa patching "actually working".
>>
>>61873041
I don't know that I'd describe 'having to install drivers' as 'a world of trouble', the same thing happens every time new hardware gets released because the Linux kernel update cycle and the Mesa update cycle rarely sync up with hardware vendors.

They'll just work out of the box soon enough.
>>
>>61873110
I had my share of dealing with r300 and r600 drivers so I am very much biased, open source drivers never worked properly until they were upstreamed and got bugfixes for the following releases. Also they never reached functional parity with proprietary drivers, fglrx being a joke didn't help neither
>>
>>61873221
>I had my share of dealing with r300 and r600 drivers so I am very much biased,
Back then AMD basically viewed the open source drivers only slightly better than Nvidia views them. They were basically a way for you to get into a graphical interface to download their driver.
Today AMD has basically surrendered to the open source drivers which are faster, and more feature complete than any driver AMD has ever managed to provide.

Their new 'Pro' driver is basically only provided for pro workstation apps where AMD provides support for required legacy features and behaviors.

>I'm pretty sure windows already in that ballparck of dirtrally performance

Its very difficult to compare them because its only the AMD Direct3D driver on Windows that offers good performance, and Dirt Rally for Windows uses Direct3D while the Linux version uses OpenGL, and the Pro driver's OpenGL stack is the same as the one in Windows.
Feral Interactive, the company that ported Dirt Rally generally sees about a 20% degradation in performance going from Direct3D to OpenGL because of how different and non-standard the fast Direct3D code path is compared to OpenGL.
Mesa RadeonSI in some cases can close that gap by being better than AMD's own drivers.

>>61879633
Don't drivers for Windows need to be signed by Microosoft? Plus there's a significant amount of code that would need to be ported some of which is kernel level which obviously no normal open source dev would be able to access on Windows.
There has been talk of porting RadeonSI to work on top of a pure Vulkan base in which case you'd have a cross-platform OpenGL stack that would work anywhere Vulkan is available, though its utility would be somewhat limited as the one platform where you'd really want that, MacOS supports neither modern OpenGL or Vulkan.
>>
>>61882233

>(like running benchamrks on nvidia for more than 2 minutes when it's magical boost start throttling to oblivion)

The guys at Hardocp are a bunch of retards but they dop get one element of their testing right(ish) - their benchmark runs are 5 minutes long.

>>
>>61882378

>Don't drivers for Windows need to be signed by Microosoft?

Nope - its why AMD puts out so many beta drivers because WHQL costs money and isn't even that thorough for testing. In reality all WHQL means that the driver won't crash windows if you look at it funny and MS will push it down their update service.

All RTG needs to do in order to dumpster the 1080ti is make a four hbm2 stack version of Vega 10. Vega 10 is totally memory bandwidth bottlenecked in games, so doubling its memory bandwidth would reveal what Vega 10 is really capable of.

They originally had Vega 10 x2 scheduled for 2H 2017, but I don't think they are actually going to make an x2 card. It would be a total waste of resources since Vega 10 is already leaving lots of geometry performance on the table in gaming due to being bandwidth starved. You'd be far better off making a four hbm2 stack version than making an x2 version.
>>
>>61880060
>>61882530
Note that if they can fix Vega 10's memory bandwidth issues via a BIOS update at some point then they can hold off on a four stack version until well into next year.

But we aren't going to know if the memory bandwidth issues even CAN be fixed until after the card is released and someone finds enough sense to ask RTG WTF is going on with that issue.

Just think. Tomorrow we can finally put months of shitposting how VEGA is going to 'BTFO Nvidia' to rest. The numbers say it is no better than a GTX 1080 at higher the overall cost in terms of price, performance and power usage/thermals.

I am sure it will improve a little with driver and possible firmware updates but we all know it's going to be a failure compared to Pascal. AMD like Intel with Zen got caught with its pants don regarding how well Pascal performs and VEGA is so late they could do nothing about it but plow on. I guess it was too expensive to just dump VEGA and start over. They had better get their skates on with NAVI or Nvidia will fuck them over that too.

This is an idiotic argument. It's quite obvious that RTG chose to make all the Vega 10 gpus the same for manufacturing efficiencies and use memory bandwidth to segment the cards. That's also why Vega 56 and Vega 64 are use the exact same card design, down to the two 8-pin connectors.

Because they chose to make one die size and use memory bandwidth to segment performance brackets. Later when a four HBM2 stack version is released that finally has enough bandwidth to fully saturate the ALUs that same 484mm^2 die will deliver full GP102 performance, like it already does in 3D rendering applications like Creo, Solidworks and 3ds Max (where it trades blows with full GP102 because it's not memory bandwidth bottlenecked in those applications).

Gaming Volta doest exist.

No Video will re refresh Pascal with GDDR6 and unlocked voltege cap.

>>61886366
It *technically* exists.
It's still bigger Pascal on "new" node.

No, Fiji simply had too much ALUs for it's own good.
Vega is literally a disaster. And no, it won't sell the moment 1070 return to MSRP pricing.

Am I supposed to feel bad about 1080 performance for $400 with immature drivers? We all know it'll get another 10% in the next few months.
>>
>>61882530
If Vega just had a bandwidth issue then old games that can be cached entirely in memory would probably run better on Vega than a 1080TI, but we have no evidence of that.
>>
>>61886716
>Am I supposed to feel bad about 1080 performance for $400 with immature drivers?
Yes, as long as it's 486mm^2 of silicon performing on par with 314mm^2.
>>
>>61886728
People don't buy a product for its die size, I won't argue that Vega is less than stellar on perf/mm^2 in gaming, but people don't care about that metric.
>>
>>61886728
just stop

your embarrassing yourself
>>
>>61880060
Why would you expect 1080ti performance at 500 dollars? The 64 is perfectly priced to compete with the normal 1080

Good for a vega 64?
>>
Depends, feel like overclocking? 1700's power draw will double while Vega will go from <300W to 400W
>>
>>61886023
So it's faster than a 1080 on average, if the minimums are higher then I don't see any real problem with Vega besides that it should have been 20% faster, but that depends on future drivers.

>>61886727
There's no if. RX Vega very obviously has bandwidth issues. This is provably demonstrably true using the Beyond 3D Suite on Vega Fe.

It's also demonstrably, provably true that Vega FE trades blows with full GP102 in Creo 3.0, Solidworks 2015 and 3ds Max, so we already know for sure the geometry performance is there.

Unless you intend to argue there's any chance that 20-30% regressions vs. Fiji in raw memory bandwidth, effective texture bandwidth, and texel fill rates could have been intended? And they shouldn't be able to be hardware issues because there was plenty of time to respin.

What part of memory bandwidth bottleneck do you not understand? Even if you doubled the ALU count it wouldn't get any faster with so little bandwidth.
>>
Can you nerds stop talking about the 64? No one cares about the 64 when the 1080 ti is better and uses less power
>>
>>61886884
It's still an abortion of GPU.
Unless they can fix it (which i doubt).

Why wouldn't they be able to fix it? If it was a hardware issue they had LOTS of time to respin.
>>
>>61886862
There's a lot more to video cards than just bandwidth. If it's a bandwidth problem then it should be able to expose the problem by creating scenarios where bandwidth is not an issue so you can get 100% of the theoretical performance.

Go find AMD's official TDP ratings for the RX Vega models. Oh wait, they've never actually said what the TDP of the various models would be officially.

>>61886923
Because the chinkgineers have no idea what they're doing and the guys who designed GCN were all cut years ago?

>>61886966
I'm talking about games... It's great that Vega is good for productivity but you're talking about a completely different workload. I'm talking about a game where bandwidth isn't an issue, which old games should be able to fulfill.
>>
>>61887006
3D rendering is literally exactly the scenario you describe where pure geometry performance matters and memory bandwidth does not, unless you think there is some magical inherent difference between 3D rendering in Creo and 3D rendering a game?
>>
>>61887058
Then explain why older games or even smaller modern games that are small enough to load into 16GB aren't kicking ass on Vega?
>>
>>61887095
You do understand that you do not load ALL the assets into GPU memory, only graphical ones?
Holy shit you're dumb.
>>
Shit GPU threads attract LITERAL fucking retards.
>>
>>61887133
You're not answering the question. I can see a problem with games that need to constantly pull files from the hard drives, but a game like CSGO can load all of the assets into Vega's VRAM and deliver it like a hundred time over in a second ot the GPU. How is bandwidth the the issue?
>>

Holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
fucking
hell
you're so fucking retarded.
Please kill yourself.
>>
>>61887221
???

You're the expert so just explain how it works. Explain how bandwidth is the problem when the assets you have to transfer are tiny, or for that matter when you don't need a lot of assets being transferred (standing still looking at the sky)

Drivers over the coming months will boost it a bit just like drivers boosted the 480 (then 580 was released that boosted it further at the cost of power usage). Nobody talks about that though. Only day 1 benches count according to Nvidia shills. I know AMD is the wait meme but still it's true. The RX 480 did not take too long to get boosted. Neither will VEGA.

The water cooled VEGA will be hitting 1080Ti levels in a few months time I can guarantee it. The only downside will be it will require more power than Pascal.
>>
>>61888376
Problem is by then Volta is right around the corner and even if it's 10% faster than Pascal, that's still better than whatever Vega will be at by then.
>>
>>61888448
Then AMD will launch a Vega refresh with faster memory.

Thanks. Hey, Jensen, can you give us an update in terms of how the new platforms and servers may have impacted the business in the data center with Purley launching here recently and the upcoming EPYC? As a follow-on, when can we expect Volta in the consumer gaming market? Thanks.

...Volta for gaming, we haven't announced anything. And all I can say is that our pipeline is filled with some exciting new toys for the gamers, and we have some really exciting new technology to offer them in the pipeline. But for the holiday season for the foreseeable future, I think Pascal is just unbeatable. It's just the best thing out there. And everybody who's looking forward to playing Call of Duty or Destiny 2, if they don't already have one, should run out and get themselves a Pascal.
>>
>>61888484
>But for the holiday season for the foreseeable future,

So 2nd half? Great, is this thing gonna fucking launch when Navi launches or something?
>>
>>61888523
They'll delay consumer Volta (read bigger dies) as much as possible. Pascal == fat margins.
Considering how much money nVidia currently wastes on memes and R&D for memes - they need fat margins.

And certainly not for those shitgames.
