AMD GPU roadmap.jpg
85KB, 590x332px
Hi all,

This is where we wait for the latest AMD graphics card which AMD will surely release in a timely manner and will definitely blow all of our minds, no questions asked, 100% guaranteed, no chance it'll fail, just you wait.
>>
>>61962722

>>61962722

I'm waiting for Navi as well. I've already bought a 1200 watt PSU, so I'm set.
>>
>>61963174
I'm waiting for Next Gen, my 2000W PSU is ready
>>
>>61963118
As the owner of a Fury X, I think I'm going to do the same... that is, if I ever do bother upgrading.
I can't even trust Navi at this point, and even if it does turn out great, the generation after that should only mean improvements upon that base.

I don't know anything about graphic cards

Will it have a massive die as well?
>>
>>61963222
navi is going to be on the 7nm node that in cpus is targeting 5ghz as a normal operating speed, the process is either going to be really cool or the size makes it really efficient, its likely that this will bring at the very least vega lq down to polaris msrp on air.

its hard to justify anything right now

low end cards cost a fuck ton
high end cards aren't fast enough yet at the same time massively overkill... and with miners being cunts, any hope that a reasonably priced gpu for performance goes out the fucking window.
>>
>>61963251
No, the point of Navi is making use of infinity fabric to make two small dies work as a single one, effectively increasing yields, decreasing power and cost.
>>
What does the AMD GPU roadmap look like if you put in it's actual performance and efficiency for Polaris and Vega?
I'm guessing Navi looks impossibly far ahead

Why would I wait for navi when volta is 3 months away? Amd has proven they don't care about the high end market so 1180 and 1180 ti will own anything navi can produce.

lel
>>
>>61966434
>They don't care about the high end market

They do care, but they just cant compete.
They should just re-stock the 570-580 to reset the street price, that would literally print money
>>
>>61966621
Because right now it doesn't print money?
>>
>>61966683
Surely their RX production was slowed/delayed because of Vega.
>>
>>61966725
Probably not so much if they have very few cards. Regardless, both polaris and Vega are constantly out of stock due to miners. No surprise nvidia wants to jump on the train as well.
>>
>>61966759
Not only Miners, but AI researchers and such are eating Vega up and buying in bulk.

The raw compute numbers are hard to beat.
>>
>>61962722
when is the rx 490 or 590 coming out?
>>
>>61966788
Why doesn't AMD just mine themselves?
>>
>>61966788
True. Vega is still pretty good in segments where power consumption doesn't matter.
>>
>>61966832
Well, they have a LOT of those petaflop P47s i bet that when they have no work they'll just mine away
>>
>>61966434
>Volta
>3 months away
Leather jacket-man has already said he's in no rush to release Volta plus GDDR6 doesn't hit production to 2018 anyway.
>>
>>61965873
In India maybe
>>
>>61966813
Never. Like is aid earlyer. Amd gave up on the high end market after the 390.

Vega will get no high end card. Just the new "580" that is vega 64. The slap on a water cooler and oc it. But it is no 2/390 or furry x.
>>
>>61967144
2018 is 3 months away. Volta is q1 2018 so 3-6 months.
>>
>>61962722
IF YOU DON'T BUY VEGA THEY WONT HAVE THE MONI TO MAKE NAVI

prove me wrong
>>
>>61967944
>>61966813
Isn't vega 64 the high end card?

AMD has a severely fucked naming scheme right now
>>
>>61967957
Anon it takes 1 to 2 quarters from production to market. You won't see consumer volta till at least midyear
>>
>>61967997
If 64 is the high end why does it compete with nvidias mid range card the 1080? If amd was into high end they would compete with the 1080ti.
>>
>>61968313
>1080

My RX 480 8GB runs most games fine on high at 1440P using my Freesync 40-144Hz monitor. I can even run a lot of games on ultra.

I think I will skip this generation. If I had not been forced to upgrade my monitor two weeks back when my old one died I would have waited and gone with Gsync + 1080. I wish it was easy to send the monitor back for a refund and start over.
>>
>>61963338
well if the slide in OP is anything to go by, Navi is at the very least a die-shrink.

Which uarch they choose to base it on though is anyone's guess.

I've ever used ATI/AMD cards for my gaming rig but I switched to NVIDIA in 2015.
There is nothing which can compete with the ti cards.

But I have to point out that the average price for NVIDIA ti cards raised by about 100$ if you compare the maxwell and the Pascal generations.

After all competitive AMD cards are important for keeping NVIDIA from becoming an Israel company like Intel.

Too bad AMD just shat the bed with Vega.
On Steam survey since Feb 2016 till today they lost 6% of market share (from 26% to 20%).
Vega fail will just keep this decline, and next year Volta will only increase it.
When Navi comes in 2019 they will have like 10% marketshare and then developer support will dwindle.

just wait.
>>
>>61977745
I mean, I don't doubt DSBR and primitive shaders and all that shit will help since it saves on memory bandwidth and that seems to be Vega's problem, but I'm not expecting a huge performance increase.
>>
>>61977815
DSBR is working, Vega is not bandwith starved.
Primitive culling through prim shader is not working.
Frontend is choking bretty fucking hard, given the ALU count.
>>
>>61977831
>DSBR is working
>Primitive culling through prim shader is not working.
>Vega is not bandwith starved.

front end choking the back end somehow not bandwidth starved
>>
>>61977923
idort here

why is vega 64 so slow then?

t. 390x owner
>>
>>61977937
Just like Fiji, current Vega has too much ALUs given the triangle output (that's without prim shader).
>>61977923
OCing both core and HBM2 does basically nothing.
>>
>>61977973
So is it bottlnecked in software?

It cant pump out enough poly's to use the ALU's fully?
>>
>>61977973
for 64, it gains a ton of free performance on 56 with OCed HBM
>>
>>61977996
pretty much, that's why prim shaders are a feature but they still didn't make it work driver is basically barely working alpha
the hope they will make it work by AIBs time, but I wouldn't hold my breath probably due to next crimson iteration october
>>
>>61977831
I don't understand. How does OCing the memory on Vega 56 put it so close to Vega 64 if memory bandwidth isn't the issue?
>>
>>61978003
No shit, 56 is segmented by memory bandwith.
>>61977996
>So is it bottlnecked in software?
Sort of. It's the drivers.
>It cant pump out enough poly's to use the ALU's fully?
Yes. As evidenced by workstation benches - Vega does bretty fucking nice in geometry-bound shit with prim shader culling working.
>>61978025
56 has 800mhz HBM while still having whopping 3.5k ALUs.
56 to 64 is 1080ti to Titan Xp or 1700 to 1800x-tier upgrade.
>>
>>61978051
but what if, what if they will manage to feed ALL THE ALUS later on, which might happen because vega has hardware for it unlike fiji
how big of a gap 500 ALUS would be?
>>
>>61978065
>how big of a gap 500 ALUS would be?
A bit bigger than 1080ti to Titan Xp gap.
It's not much.
You just need to OC 56's memory stacks.
>>
>>61978070
so we come back to a conclusion that 1600(x) and 1700 is the only cpus worth buying and 56 is the only gpu
I don't know, their marketing team seems out of touch, what's the point of wasting yields if nobody going to buy it?
>>
>>61963522
Stop lying about msrp
>>
>>61978097
>I don't know, their marketing team seems out of touch, what's the point of wasting yields if nobody going to buy it?
They are not wasting yields, everything remotely good goes for Pro line or MI25.
>>
>>61978022
thanks, i might as well just go ahead with my ryzen build and wait
>>
>>61967957
>>61968040

Not to mention that the Volta 2080 Ti will probably be launched in mid-2019, just in time to do battle with Navi. So we're still a little under 2 years away from seeing what the next level of gpu-perofmrance will be like, whether that comes from Nvidia or AMD.

I'll happily wait and see what happens desu. I'm sure Vega will improve with time due to better drivers though I'm not sure my next card will even be a Vega or Pascal.

If this trend continues Navi GPUs will turn into tiny black holes that suck up your PC before blowing up and obliterating your house. At this point, it might be a matter of public safety to keep AMD from making any more GPUs.
>>
>>61979134

Okay.

>>61979134
>Fury launch was a disaster
Disaster? You sure haven't seen Vega's launch thus far, have you?
>>
>>61979204

Not him but Fury X launch was not perfect. The card was so overhyped, the drivers was not mature so the card was slower than the 980ti at the launch, the AIO and the power draw triggered a lot of people, the card was the the ''overclokers dream'' nor the Titan Maxwell killer and the Nano was ridiculously overpriced at the launch.

Also honestly, Vega is far worst.
>>
>>61979312
was not the overclokers dream*
>>
>>61979312
>Also honestly, Vega is far worst.
Why? The only bad part is that RTG failed to make primshader culling work for launch.
That and supply issues, but that happens every bibeocard launch, including NVDA ones.
>>
>>61979222
>No stock
>No overclocking capabilities
>Massive power consumption
>Bad performance
>Broken pumps on their AIO liquid coolers

How is that not a disaster? The only thing at which AMD is good is failing to deliver on their promises. They've been doing that for half a decade now.

It's no wonder Nvidia's market share is getting bigger and bigger.
>>
Does NVIDIA scale their geometry perf with the number of Polymorph engines?
>>
>>61979337
The chip is bigger and have more transitors than Titan Xp GP102 but match only with the GTX 1080 with +50% more power draw.
>>
>>61979641
Right now.
Also it's only 15mm^2 bigger than GP102.
>>
>>61979645
Yeah but do you know the size of the GTX 1080 GP104?......Vega is a massive fail.
>>

It competes with full GP102 when it works.
It doesn't work in gayms right now.

It's not a foot in gayming. It's just late and the product is basically unifinished. Hence why the launch is staggered as hell.

most recent is how RX will be much better than FE in gaming
>>
>>61980168
It will be much better than FE at gayming.
Whenever it'll start working though.
Anyway FE will also be good at gaymen once they merge the fucking driver branches.
It's a fucking shitfest right now.
>>
>>61980143
indeed but lets get real here i think that amd decide to throw all the money on the pro segment because back then they simply didnt had the money to have 2 lines developing for it

i bought 2 64 sapphire's ones and ok i took the risk knowning that this is amd in 4-6 months the card will be awesome but right now not even the power managment is working (i see power flux even on idle that spikes +30+50watts for nothing)
nothing really works its like the card when it senses a 3d program just activates everything and get done with it
as far as i have gone (along with people that told me to test shit on beyond3d the card is basicly this a fiji on a die shrink with bigger pipeline and almost everything of the new tech is disabled or not working to their full capacity especially the culling and triagle buffers )
>>
>>61980188
The only thing that is not working properly RN is culling in shaders.
That and DSBR needs tweaking.
>>
>>61980207
nothing is working hbcc /power profiles/culling-triangles/simd pipelines profiles nothing really
which considering its running on fiji drivers im not suprised..
>>
>>61980222
It's not exactly Fiji drivers.
But yes, consumer Vega is basically not ready for launch.
>>
>>61980228
it is it buffs 8 triangles only while amd on the whitepaper states vega can buff 17 somehow the card gets fully utilised even if you are playing the simplest 3d game from 2002 but its underperfoming quite a lot in the same time

Why does AMD only release two graphics cards while Nvidia releases an entire series?
>>
>>61981141
Vega10 works as a nice testbench for the rest of the Vega products (being Vega11/12/20).
Right now they are busy implementing NGG into drivers.
>>
Best bang for buck gtx 1080 SKUs are going out of stock. O I am laffin.
Buying an 11gbps aorus 1080. Fuck freesync
>>
>>61963215
nah buying a 3000 watt modded psu for 5 generations to come
>>
>>61981097
>Some review site call amd bullshit
>It's not amd fault

At least on Nvidia cards drop over time when tech is more accessible and not grown price over time

Also fuck cryptocucks
>>
>>61981475
amd sets the msrp
retailers just skyrockets the price because of cryptominers

ITS AMD FAULT
>>
>>61980228
How much more time it needs to get ready? 8 years?
Fury on paper was hell of a card, in practice it's a mess. And not only done it again, it double down on Vega
>>
>>61981489
Vega's price skyrocketed not due to cryptocucks.
The supply is not there.
And the demand is pretty high.
>>61981496
>Fury on paper was hell of a card
It was a gigantic bottleneckfest even on paper.
>>
>>61981516
SO ITS AMD FAULT THAT THEY CANT KEEP UP WITH THE SUPPLY

GOT IT

REDDIT SPACE

You mean the potato of poo tech that shill for amd?
>>
>>61981536

BWAHAHAHAHAHA
WHAT'S NEXT, THG IS ALSO SHILLING FOR AMD YOU FUCKRETARDED BR APE?
>>
>>61979040
Stock, yields and prices won't thought it's the fury x all over again

Gonna sit this gen out and wait for mcm Navi and mcm volta around 2019.

Sadly my 390x is a good card but I am sick of amds bullshit
>>
>>61978051
>Yes. As evidenced by workstation benches - Vega does bretty fucking nice in geometry-bound shit with prim shader culling working.
So you believe that both primitive shaders and primitive culling are working in pro drivers, and that's why Vega10 pumells the shit out of GP104 in pro rendering applications already?
>>
>>61981670
It only shits on full GP102 in Creo.
They're dead even everywhere else.
GP102 clocks higher on average though (sasuga GPU Boost 3.0).
>>
Hell, they would'nt demo WX9100 so fucking actively unless the shit was working properly.
>>
AMD really did fuck up here and fine wine just wait won't apply because in 2 years or less mcm gpus will be out on 7nm and will absolutely destroy monolithic gpus.
>>
>>61981704
>just wait 2 years to buy a new gpu :^)
When will the wait faggotry end
>>
>>61981679
Yes, I know, my point was asking whether you believe that primitive shaders are implemented in the pro drivers? That would actually explain a lot.
>>
>>61981729
They are.
No way Polaris-like uarch (no prim shaders) could even HOPE to touch full GP102.
Like, no chance.
>>
>>61981740
That makes sense. By the way, I want to thank you for baiting me into actually learning something about GPUs in all the w4v threads.

>>61981727
Hell I waited from 2013-2016 to get a 390x

Had a 290 at launch and the driver's back then where hilariously bad to the point where a 770 4gb oc was just as fast and 1/2 the power and heat output so I downgraded.

When Nvidia launched the 1080 it was too expensive here so I got a 390x last year and it's been going great ever since.

Ironically it's CPU bound by my old i5 4690 once I get a ryzen it will be even better.

AMD rtg really did fuck up hard, I miss the old ati that could actually stick it to Nvidia and drive down prices for the average gamer but ever since 2013 it's been a absolute shit show.

Not even gonna bother waiting for Navi tbqh and almost every GPU I've ever owned long term has been amd ati radeons.

Sadly I just can't be assed waiting for decent driver support 1-4+ years after launch
>>
>>61979717
>(i don't really know when the next major Crimson update lands)
october
>>
>>61983247
That's late.
>>
>>61983286
that's amd. they are on a budget.
>>
>>61983303
Ryzen stronk, they have money to spare right now.
But their schedule is tight, they've yet to launch RR, Vega11, and the rest of the EPYC stack (besides 3 top SKUs currently available).
>>
>>61983348
they still don't have money to spare. next year this time around, they would have the money thanks to epyc. but not right now.

And I'm genuinely curious about Vega 11. How are they going to cut the Vega chip down to replace rx 580, is mystery to me.
>>
>>61983392
2.5k ALUs.
GP104-sized thingy with GDDR6.
>>
>>61983410
>GDDR6
not ever. they will use hbm2, that's a given. 2.5k alus are way too low. it has to perform better rx 580. unless they go with performance for watt. vega 11 would much more efficient.
>>
>>61983442
Anon, GCN scales now due to primshaders.
They may also use fabled low-cost HBM from Samsung (HotChips is near, we'll hear about it soon).
>>
>>61983466
>GCN scales now due to primshaders
we didn't even see yet. we really don't know anything about it.
>They may also use fabled low-cost HBM from Samsung
all of the vega cards have samsung hbm. the price won't change. there are no other one making it. Hynix fucked up.
>we'll hear about it soon
I'm really tired of waiting.
>>
Just like NVIDIA adds GPCs going up (2 for GP106, 4 for GP104. 6 for GP102), AMD will add/remov ALUs. More ALUs = faster geometry culling.
>>
>>61983504
Not HBM2, anon.
Low-cost HBM.
And yes, we saw werkstation performance of Vega10.
It definitely scales more than decently.
>>
>>61983522
>Low-cost HBM.
isn't hbm1 dead? being stuck to 4gb and all.
>>
>>61983539
Not HBM1.
Low-cost HBM (it's literally called that, google Samsung's HotChips 2016 presentation).
>>
>>61983577
>Low-cost HBM
ok, that looks promising. did we see any samples? can it be functional at december?
>>
>>61983629
Only those that are fuckbuddies with Samsung (the likes of AMD and such) know.
But yes, it looks more than promising.
Especially the part about lowering the TSV count.
>>
>>61983647
just the thought of it getting into consoles and ryzen apus make me support amd even more.
>>
G-d bless Joe Macri & his team for creating new memory standards (that actually work and are usable).

>Since we’re comparing graphics cards made by more than one manufacturer, their drivers make a significant difference in the results. Thus, we're shaking up the benchmark suite a bit by deliberately not using the SPECviewperf freeware suite. It just doesn’t reflect the current state of professional workstation and CAD applications. Its workloads are just too short and old. Also, some of its benchmarks don’t even start without the presence of professional graphics cards or their professional drivers.
>Understandably (but also unfortunately for reviewers), AMD and Nvidia optimize their drivers to target popular benchmarks. This practice diminishes the value of results we generate since performance differences become unrepresentative of other workloads or card behavior in general (we're talking about you, Maya). It all makes for great marketing, though.

>>61976500
980 Ti is not more powerful than the 1080, it's slower than a 1070.
>>
>>61977831
>Primitive culling through prim shader is not working.
Discard is working.
>>
>Vega FE and RX Vega are out
>AMDrones still think it can compete with a 1080 Ti
Wait for Navi you clueless fucking fanboy cucks maybe you'll finally be able to beat a 1080
