it cost less per performance though
700/600 = 1.1666

I get more for my money with a 1080ti than anybody does with Vega 64. If you need AMD then stick to 1440p and get a Vega 56

Vega has better perf/dollar than 1080ti in actual games, not synthetic benchmarks.

It's entirely margin of error between the two and an obvious CPU bottleneck. AMD's driver has major CPU overhead problems in DX11.

You are fucking retarded. It doesn't perform worse than Fiji in other games. It's 25% faster on average across all games tested. It performs identically in an extremely CPU-intensive game because both cards are fucking CPU bottlenecked and neither can achieve their full performance. That's why they're all fucking bunched together within margin of error. This is due to AMD's driver being garbage and eating up CPU time. An issue that's been known about for fucking years.

Go back to /v/, you tech-illiterate filth.

Pure dumbasses buying this card, Only the 64 is for sale correct? If so, I'm laughing my ass off that people have swarmed these release prices. No way i'm touching a video card pulling 400W+ that goes for nvidia as well. Seems these dumbasses are forgetting about 7nm process that's right around the corner.... No one is gonna want this 14nm housefire bullshit down the road. For a CPU that pulls half the wattage of these GPUs, it's not that bad going with 14nm but going 14nm at these insane prices is idiotic.

THEY LOCKED THE FUCKING BIOS I AM SO MAD. I WAS GOING TO BUY VEGA STRICTLY BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WASN'T GOING TO BE LOCKED OUT FROM OVERCLOCKING LIKE PASCAL.
GPU overclocking is fucking DEAD. Both companies are now totally locking you out of controlling your own hardware.
Pascal bios is locked down and gpu boost 3.0 fucks you even if you hardmod. Now vega 56's power limit and voltage is locked down as well.
Even intel doesn't do this shit. I could melt my 6600k right fucking now if I wanted to.

Where the fuck are you pulling this from?

Ryzen single-handedly:
-Saved AMD
-Popularized a new CPU design in the x86_64 designers
-Made Intel shit themselves just because they completely forgot what competition was
-Pulled a fair bit of the major data processing giants as partners

I can't find anyway this makes Ryzen a failiure

On the other hand, V56 is maybe okay as a 1070 competitor, V64 makes no fucking sense.

1080 FE stock clocks, i.e underclocked by 500 mhz. Out of the box Gaming X for instance does 63 fps on hitman 4k, vega doesn't have even close to the headroom to jump that much.

>>61900213
It's not ATi. Everyone relevant from ATi left or was fired in 2010-2011.
It's a skeleton crew.
>>
Its staying at its power target quite faithfully, so thats a huge improvement. AMD has made massive strides in their PowerTune IP, even at these comparatively high clocks in the GCN family.
It does however seem the GPU is enormously memory bottlenecked however. The performance at launch is paltry for this level of power consumption. If this isn't remedied with drivers or BIOS then there is a massive architectural issue at fault here.

Void the warranty, trip something once someone does it. I don't care. Why can I melt my ryzen and not my gpu? I am so sick of being sold things at full market price and it feeling like a lease.
I ENJOY overclocking and tinkering and benchmarking and it is the primary consideration in gpu after performance bracket. Vega 56 was going to be the ideal card to throw in a custom loop or mod a fat fucking 360mm aio on and have fun with.
Now GPUs are totally locked down and nvidia has even gone so far to fool people into thinking it's for the best. "They're not locked down! We just push them as far as they can go out of the factory!" Ignore the fact that every single 1060 on the face of the earth goes to 2150 which means they're limited to a point below where even silicon lottery matters.
Cell phones are locked the fuck down too. Buy a phone and can't root it, buy an iphone and can't install whatever software you want.
Can't wait for intel to volt lock K series cfl-s at 1.3 because fuck the goyim.

you have no idea how Nvidia overclocking actually works these days. Stock boost is already very high, which means there is little room for OC.

>Maximum overclock of our sample is +453 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases max Boost from 1898 MHz to 2114 MHz (11% overclock)

I'd buy this new Vega 64 card if it wasn't so damned power hungry. Vega 64 beats out my 980ti as well as having proper a-sync capabilities for DX12 titles. Plus I have the option of Freesync rather than paying the Jew tax of G-sync. But a card with almost 300w usage stock will prove to be a noisy housefire regardless of the cooler attached. This would all be well and good if it were performing in the level of a 1080ti, but it's not. It seems more suited to trading blows with the 1070, which is sad.

Hopefully this is all due to the memory bottleneck and is fixed via BIOS updates or something. I was looking forward to Vega as I already have Ryzen. An all red PC is something I want.
>>
>>61900288
Haha what? People "upgraded" to a 980 over a 780ti, complete fucking madness.

Specs are irrelevant, performance is important but doesn't matter to the majority of the market.

Looks like Vega 64 might actually be a complete wash.
They can push Vega 56 for the value prospect, but that won't last long. Nvidia's GTX 1080 and 1070 have been out so long they could slash prices at any point.

AMD needs a hard fix or they're going to be irrelevant on the high end until they have 7nm parts come out late next year. Genuinely bad news for AMD. Even the original Fury was positioned better than this. Vega 64 is super far behind the GTX 1080 ti.

well as expected 56 is the winner here.
two good things
1. it is faster than 1070 by about 7-10% amrgin, in AMD favored games it's near 1080 like doom or BF1
2. it is within the spec 210-230w TDP is good.

on the side note it beats heavy OC AIB 1070 in timespy by a decent margin

64 and 64 liquid are weird products, just like 1800x, but I guess they are low volume

personally looking to get 56 to replace 390
>>
>>61900277
The truth is the truth: nVidia has good stock coolers, AMD does not. We saw this with every launch since the 7xxx days.

So nVidia launches are generally better, because you can buy the cards straight away. This might hurt to hear, but you need third-party cards when you buy AMD.

Yeah I'm sure I have just owned a few where it was not possible even though it was not financed. Either way the smarat phone thing was just an example of the trend. Too pissed the fuck off to even think of another example.
I love the 980ti I have, its awesome. I would buy the 1080ti in a heart beat but the fact that I can OC a $680 asus turbo and a billion dollar lightning Z exactly the same amount(10%) regardless of the improved PCB and maybe even silicon is a no go.
There is concrete proof of GPU Boost 3.0's behavior. If you push the pascal cards past the 10% limit with harad mods it actually REDUCES PERFORMANCE. Nvidia has b& everyone from allowing customers to modify voltage in software. The tools exist but are only given to "extreme overclockers" and they have IDs attached so they wont be leaked.
I just want a GPU that I actually have control over. It pisses me the fuck off that this has happened. There is no reason for it. They don't lock down CPUs like this so why is it happening with GPUs.
This is exactly the same as intel shipping the 8700k with voltage locked at stock but leaving the multiplier unlocked, calling "CPU Boost 3.0", and convincing the fan boys they "don't scale with voltage and are pushed as far as they can go out of the factory."
I am a red hot ball of rage. I really really wanted a vega card.
>>
>>61900352
Theres some memory bottleneck they're having that Nvidia apparently isn't despite using the same HBM. Maybe its ultimately related to AMD's ROPs, pixel throughput is still low.

They absolutely have to address that or theres no reason at all for them to waste a penny on Navi. This is actually a devastating issue for AMD's RTG. Compute performance is there, but when it comes to actual graphical workload the performance dries up.

>>61900304
They use fe for their comparisons, which has a conservatively low boost clock compared to aib versions. I wasn't even using manual oc numbers which would be another 8-10% for a gaming x and push it around 68 fps.

He didn't even bother reviewing the 64. AMD likely didn't even sample him on the 56. He indicated that he is purchasing the 64 with his own money to review it. His conclusion was that the 56 is just on par w/ the 1070 and that reference shouldn't be purchased unless it's liquid cooled. So, essentially, you're a dumbass if you bought 64 with $100+ markup today and I agree. The fact that these cards are soldout even w/ $100 markup shows how dumb and desperate people are. I aint mad. I'm hoping for nvidia price drops amidst the idiocy inline with a 2+ year old card. As for 56, I'm not touching that shit above MSRP because its not worth anything above $399 (nvidia territory pricing that offers far better performance/power util/Mature driver support). I had really high hopes for Radeon. I own to new Ryzen systems. However, given how this release occurred and how shit it is, AMD clearly needs to clean house. I have no doubt, given how lisa distanced herself from Radeon that she will ...

50%~ higher pixel fill rate
50%~ higher clocks

AMD has done absolutely nothing to improve their ROPs since Fiji, and that was one of the biggest limiting factors. They've relied only on pushing clocks higher to improve pixel throughput.
There is legitimately no reason for this. They could have achieved more practical performance uplift from leaving the whole front end alone and just fixing the back end and they wouldn't have needed to push clocks this high.

LOL, jokes on you.
Buying reference air cooled for $100 markup on a shit power/heat/performance card. In a a way, I'm glad there's brainlets like you buying this out the gate. Hopefully you stay the fuck away from other vidya cards.
>>
>>61899641
Absolute piece of shit. I'm actually a bit amazed, I thought 480/580 was the worst they could do, they proved me wrong again. What a fucking retarded company. Only ryzen is keeping them from bankruptcy.
>>
>>61900642
Ya.
But what's the point as long as it chockes the triangles like Fiji but worse?
>>61900655
NVIDIA has fucking overkill fillrate.
Hell back-end was never the problem for Fiji.
>>
>>61900674
Fiji was neck and neck with Hawaii in some metrics specifically because of the back end choking.
>>
>>61900670
480/580 are good tho?
>>
>>61900606
>So, essentially, you're a dumbass if you bought 64 with $100+ markup today and I agree. The fact that these cards are soldout even w/ $100 markup shows how dumb and desperate people are.

You're the only dumbass here, anon. They're being bought by cryptocurrency miners. Mining is the one thing Vega is extremely good at. It destroys a 1080 Ti for that purpose. Miners have been paying close to Vega MSRPs for RX 480s for a good while now, and those offer less than half the mining performance. Vega cards are extremely good value for mining purposes. That's why they sold out instantly. Not because of "desperate" gamers.
>>
>>61899681
AMD had 8 extra months and couldn't even match the 1080 ti. I just don't understand how anyone can buy this shit.
>>
>>61900674
so for TBR to make a difference it needs the primitive shaders active too?

>>61900686
so is it good or is it 31.8 like previously mentioned?

>>6190068
>>61900685
They are slower than my 390x

Literally a 290x oc from 2013 with 2012 tier performance

>>61900693
It makes no difference as long as front-end is choking full of triangles.
Its bigger Fiji.
Enjoy!
>>
>>61900704
yeah, well they didn't cost 450 like 390x, did they?
>>
I don't get it. So they released a GPU that can't beat nvidias lineup and is for the majority even inferior to same-priced modells. Why bother releasing it?
>>
>>61900685
Only because they were cheap. Vega is absolute dog shit at those prices, but who cares, right? Miners will still buy them out and AMD knows it.

yes. we are very dumb people how we became world superpower we don't even know

Guru and others are mentioning that the press drivers they have aren't even a complete build. Guru noted that overclocking in Wattman did nothing.

There are some pretty clear driver issues present, but nothing is going to radically change. Vega64 isn't even close to taking shots at the 1080 ti. It'll probably end up being a hair better than the regular 1080 as drivers mature, but at this late in the game thats not much of a consolation.
>>
>>61900770
Remember the Kekler -> Maxlel jump.
That's mostly it.
AMD still needs to work on DCC for Navi.

>>61899641

V56 is the only card worth considering.
Even Radeon group knows this which is why they told reviewers to prioritize it over V64. The only thing I'm trying to understand is wtf this ship is doing in their professional cards like the instinct and what the professional driver/software stack looks like. It really seems like they gimped and tossed the shit pickings from the professional line to consumers and tried a Ryzen with the vega line. The only observation is that GPUs don't scale like CPUs in such a way and they fucking failed. Not to mention the shit show their driver/software stack is.

speaking of drivers, they didn't release vega drivers for masses yet right? hah

No it doesnt. It costs only 10-20% more and gives 30-40% performance gains. When you AR looking to spend $400+ an exta 20% is nothing.

What kind of person can afford $400 but not $500? Why do you think there has always been budget cards (1050,1060), low end (1070) mid range (1080) and top tier (1080ti). NVIDIA understands the market. Amd just shit the bed in an attempt to survive long enough to release Navi.

GN already confirmed Vega 56 benefits massively disproportionately from memory overclocking, proving that it is IS memory bandwidth. Unfortunately it seems NO ONE did the full B3D Suite of Vega 56 or 64 yet, so I can't look in more detail.

>>61900874
Fiji employed no bandwith saving techniques besides pretty simple DCC implementation.
Vega has DSBR.

Techpowerup's average shows it slightly behind the 1080 for 1920x1080 gaming. Even at 2560x1440 the 1080 is shown to be 1% faster over all.

>>61900854
I'd love to be wrong, but I fucking doubt it. Memory bandwidth is lacking just like with Fury, and pixel throughput is still low. All the ALU throughput in the world won't matter if you're not drawing pixels to the screen fast enough.

Theres no way for this to be a 1080ti competitor. If Vega 64 could magically jump 25% in performance then the Vega 56 would end up trouncing the regular 1080. AMD would be telling reviewers to focus on the 56 if that were the case.

the entire cgn family is a fucking rebrand from the 77xx series with vega being the only true successor with new HARDWARE features..
but vega is the last cgn card as we know it its perfect for general compute but thats it as for games given how paraller this card was it was practicly impossible to make the game to work like that on pc's because they would have need at least a 30-40% of async usage just like on consoles.. and that would have literally killed nvidia and this means less income for gaming companies bla bla bla bla..

^this. I've worked in the valley and seen this occur time and time again throughout various companies and organizations. I hope mum cleans house after this fucking fiasco, I have no clue how AMD plans to PROPERLY implement the dream of HSA with these screwballs when they can't seem to even get their GPU architecture correct nor the driver or software stack. She's better off with pushing an OPEN interface to the CPU and partnering with Nvidia.

The only big thing I was looking forward to was OpenCL FP16 performance but these jackasses can't even get the basic drivers functioning and apparently FP16 isn't even showing in the driver/opencl panel. So, it's likely they haven't even began approaching support for it.

AMD was working with a bunch of other companies including AMKOR back in 2010 to create 3D stacked memory. IE they had actual working test chips with memory on package back in 2010. The IP for this was being built when ATI was still a separate entity. Tech doesn't happen in 1-2 years. The whole industry is constantly working on things that won't reach market for 5-10 years.
Raja didn't make this.
3 years from now HBM likely won't even be relevant any more.

He literally didn't show how the fuck they did it with production consumer level cards and drivers. Also, you forget that this is their professional level cards which have no pricing or availability. So, it's a mute point until they actually deliver on these canned demos and show actual pricing for these cards.

I've never dealt with Radeon's pro line. However, if this is the kind of shit show occurring at launch with their consumer level cards, why the fuck would I want to spend professional level $$$ and invest in their eco system? and have to wait 6months to a fucking year for the features they demo to be enabled by drivers and suffer through a shacky ass ever evolving software stack.

Both Nvidia and Radeon gimp the fuck out of their consumer card drivers. So, there's zero difference. On the professional cards, Nvidia beats the dog shit out of Radeon on drivers and software development support. So, wtf are you on? I have zero issues with AMD but Radeon seems to be ran by a bunch of fucking morons.

>native ecc
It has the potential
>each stack doubles the bandwidth
No it doesn't. 2 stacks has double the IO of 1, but 3 stacks does not double the IO of 2.
>doesnt need oc since the bandwidth is enormous
The Fury got substantial benefit from memory OC, the tiny amount you actually could OC it, and its now the same with Vega.
AMD isn't delivering anywhere near theoretical bandwidth.

The purpose of HBM is its low power and small foot print. Everything else is tertiary.

I'd say the industry really went to shit around 2012-2014 right around current gen consoles launch.

But yeah absolutely blackpilled Anon knows.

DESU, this sounded great at first but the more I think about it the more I think about them putting something in hardware that really shouldn't. It seems like they fucked up on something in the compute pipeline and thus targetted low hanging fruit to mask it. If methodologies change w.r.t to this function, you're fucked with fixed hardware that you can't change. Something tells me that this shit really shouldn't be fixed in hardware and automated. It sounds like a shitshow waiting to happen for a developer. It sounds like a nightmare if the game development community changes direct. Everyone rails on and on about proprietary Nvidia. Well, fixing some shit in hardware in the main GPU pipeline that isn't standardized sounds proprietary as fuck. Thing is, they may pay heavily for this shit if they miscalculated.

Looks like IF in VEGA has its own clock domain.

>It's high, not extremely high

It's the highest power draw ever seen in a single GPU card. By a fair margin. What part of that doesn't qualify as "extreme" in your warped little fanboy world?

480 drivers are a trashfire for opengl/d3d9. d3d10 mostly worked. d3d11 got marginal perf gains over the year.

if you have any interest in older games/emulators i would wait for real people to post their experiences with vega.

Jesus, Ryzen really broke you guys, huh?
>>
>>61901272
Wait, so a 1080 Ti is better even in mining? Why the hell are Vega GPUs sold out everywhere already then? I'm seeing completed listings for overpriced Vega cards on eBay too.
>>
>>61901298
they're brand new tech, this would have happened even without mining
>>
>>61901298
because availability of hbm2 is low, amd have been rushing this out so they haven't been able to stockpile cards like they should have been doing.

remeber vega is almost a year over schedule.

>undervolting gets better performance

How do i undervolt my vega 56 without fucking up my card
>>
>>61901128
Not really. Most people still only bought mid-range cards. 1070 is borderline (Vega 56 is a good competitor to it anyway) 1080 and above are halo products.
>>
>>61901361
You can't undervolt something that doesn't exist
>>
>>61901218
It's hard to find one for cheaper.
>>
>>61901361
you can't fuck up your card by undervolting
>>
>>61900621
Even so you need to increase power.
My 2 fes average 1850-1815 around 75c on 100% power
>>
>>61901497
I can't? Can you tell me the basics?
>>
>>61900974
40W? I'm sorry, it's more like a range from 60-200W. Further, you seem to forget about heat pouring in your room which causes you to kick on anywhere from 1KW-7KW Air conditioning cooling solutions. Unless there is a 100W difference, I really don't care. But once you start pushing outside of that, my primary concern isn't on how much extra power my GPU is consuming, it's centered on the fucking air conditioning unit I have to run so my room doesn't become feel like an inferno. Meanwhile, you dweebs don't seem to be thinking of people running 2,3, and 4 of these in a box. Fucking 350-400W being pulled by a goddamn video card...

7nm can come quick enough !!!!

So apparently Vega was designed in advance by the lead architect before Raja onboarded. Navi is reported to be his first design since rejoining RTG.

That said, I have little to no expectations of Navi. They're apparently planning on putting an AI accelerator circuitry into the GPU die. Which is going to make it run hot as fuck yet again.
>>
>>61902172
Anon do you understand what is Navi going to be all about?
Chiplets.
One chiplet for memes, one for gayms, one for HPC, one for visualisation.
And then you scale them up.

>GPU die
Don't you mean dies? Navi is supposed to be MCM ..

It belongs in the trash just like amdrones. If this was nvidia launch, half the catalog would be wojak edits.

In Frostbite dx12 games the 64 is almost on par with the 1080 ti. Does anyone know why this engine gives those results?

>nVidia has bigger cult following.
Nvidia has a reason for a cult following. They have dominated the high end market since their first consumer titan card. If you are an "enthusiast" there is no reason to go amd. They try to get you on price per performancent metrics, but if you just want the best nvidia is the only option

There is no reason to price cut. Nvidia is so close, within 2-5% fps perromance to amds line up there is no reason to. 1070 sells to miners, 1080 sells on it's own merrit, and ti is undisputed gpu king.

Why talk about anything other than USD prices? Everywhere else throws on shitty protectionist 20-50% taxes.

Same. Should of just got 1080. Geuses I have to wait for 1180.

It just isn't worth buying a 1080 clone right now when a refresh is 3-6 months away.
>>
>>61900700
Rumer is it is 60+ with new algorithms being developed.
>>
>>61900719
290 has gone on sale for as low as $180 (what I picked mine up at after the 390 came out)

Gpu prices have gone to shit recently, even at msrp. Also the usual price cuts haven't been happening. Normally at this point in the life cycle the 1070 and 1080 would be seing 30-50% reductions.

Vega 56 is looking good but 64 is a bit of a flop.
>>
>>61899994
Liquid cooled Vega 64 is $599 and scores 4000 on unigene. Cannot be overclocked.
1080ti costs $699 and can easily be oc'd to 6000 score on unigene. My math works out correctly in a real world consumer scenario.
>>
>>61900892
Or you could just save for another week and get a much better card?
