    [Rumor] RX 480 Overclocking 1500+Mhz

    a bit off topic let me just 1st say, I'm not a console person,. last console I had was a chip modded PS1, and before that a N64... I thought, when MS previously quoted Xbox Flops, it was a combination of GPU + CPU ? If this is the case then a custom SOC it would seem , should easily hit...

    NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1070 Thread

    So, which is it ? "Release Date Prices" ($449) or post release prices ($379).. you are all over the place.

    Except of course, the 1070 is NOT $50 over the 970, its $120 over the 970 at release (329.99-449.99).. unless you can point to availability of the $379.99 GTX 1070 Unicorn Edition.

    AMD Polaris Thread: Radeon RX 480, RX 470 & RX 460 launching June 29th

    pretty sure AMD said 8GB is $229, and Polaris would cover from "$100 to $300" range. [url="https://www.micron.com/~/media/documents/products/data-sheet/dram/gddr5/8gb_gddr5x_sgram_brief.pdf"]GDDR5X[url] offers a slight power savings over GDDR5 (1.35 vs 1.5/1.6V) .. cost may be more prohibitive...

    AMD Polaris Thread: Radeon RX 480, RX 470 & RX 460 launching June 29th

    Still wondering if the full XT part even exists. If so, with +10% more core, and possibly GDD5X boost, could get within 15% of the 1070 for 50% less. Ouch Looks like it will set The Standard for Price/Performance and very close to Perf/Watt.. given that at best the 1070 is over 2x (200%) the...

    AMD Polaris Thread: Radeon RX 480, RX 470 & RX 460 launching June 29th

    As already pointed out, the 970 and 1070 are capable of using up to 225W (75W via PCIe, + 150W via 2x6pin/1x8pimn). When you look at actual power consumption numbers, typically cards only draw about 30-40W through the PCIe slot, and the rest coming from the 6/8pin connectors, and almost never at...

    Except of course NV did enough of that themselves: GPUs Supporting DirectX 12.. hmm Fermi, Maxwell, Pascal.. DX12 Features (as pointed out by NV) au contraire non amie DX12 Conservative Raster ? Tile Resources ? Typed UAV ? Async Compute* (*DX12 No, mention of "Only...
