So you are saying he photoshopped whole benchmark in real time? 😉

Why he is only forum warrior, then? With that skills he could be working in any movie industry including porn.

I suppose he photoshopped whole recording of video from benchmarking the GPU 😀.

Really?

Logic with people is very very weak.Of course that video is real.

Sane people might question why they didn't demo this Geforce GTX 1070 killer as a single GPU in their presentation, had to throw Crossfire and their favourite game instead.

Will you also quote price gouging from retailers like you did to Pascal or AMD's MSRP will be chosen instead, even if zero cards are available for this price at launch?

I think it would of been an issue for them to have a 1070 before it was out. Pretty sure they used what they had and that is why they did the Crossfire vs 1080.
 
Unless amd downplayed rx480 perf in aots, the numbers don't add up. In aots, we're clearly seeing dx12 perf below 390x, and closer to 390, but slightly above 980, and now in dx11 we're seeing it way above 390x and way above 980.

Maybe it's just that there were driver issues at that point? Otherwise that means polaris dx12 vs 11 is worse than nvidia?

Seems too good to be true. AMD isn't going to sell a card for ~$230 that's only 20% off of a 1070, especially when that would make a full die Polaris 10 around equal performance for ~$100 less at the moment.

You can argue about AMD wanting to grow the VR market and all kinds of other stuff, but they're still a business and at that performance level it's leaving too much money on the table.

Quite possibly because they want to rip back substantial market share from nVidia. What better time than after nVidia has pissed all over everyone with their stupid price gouging for what are essentially mid range chips. I can tell you if some of the leaks are to be believed I very well may be grabbing the ~$200 part for a GTX760 replacement in my mini-itx box. If they can impress at the ~$200 level, it would certainly have me chomping at the bit for up to 4 Vega's later. Don't act like it's not happened before either, 4850/70 pricing had nVidia wetting themselves.

AotS is a DX12 benchmark, AMD engineers talked about a new command processor, which is supposed to improve CU utilization under legacy loads. So I would expect different results from previous gcn architectures.

Are you serious?

If the video is real, then why would he have to photoshop anything?

Because his fake wasnt good enough. 😀
Next step is to "show" the benchmark without giving any proof that he has the claimed card. :thumbsup:

What do you think of AMD's new marketing campaign Comrades ?

While Radeon Technologies Group was conceptualizing Polaris, they kept their ear to the ground and learned what their community wanted right now, but also what their community desired 2 years from now. Hook says this resulted in five key takeaways:

1: Prestige. “They wanted the prestige of a $700 graphics card, but they didn’t want to have to pay for it,” Hook begins.

2: VR that just works. “They wanted the ability to have a great VR experience today or two years from now without worrying about upgrading power supplies and digging into their PC. They wanted to buy a headset at some point and just have it work.”

3: Respect their investment. “They wanted us to pay respect to the dollars they were giving us and do things in the architecture or transistors or APIs or ASync Compute, that provided a measure of ‘futureproofness.’ They wanted to be reassured that even if they’re only spending $200 they’d feel secure in their investment for a couple years.”

4: More overclocking control. “We brainstormed what kind of voltage control could be given to them to create a better experience.
 Interesting

5: Better drivers. “We feel we’ve made a great first step there, and we’re only going to be putting a heavier foot on the gas this year and next year to make those drivers better and better.”

I am still wondering if all they have for VR is a good price. With so much emphasis on VR I'd expect them to actually invest in it with some cool new features.

I had a visceral reaction, but then again I'm from Eastern Europe: that red revolution was actually about 1% of the population having full control over the rest, exactly the opposite of what they were claiming.

I don't like it, even as a joke.

Who knows what the future holds. Instead of gimpworks or something such, they came with a new API which is moving things forward for us in gaming. So if they think of something, you may as well see it becoming real. AMD/ RTG has been quite good like that.
 
I dont get the VR point. Does this mean VR games dont get better? Or AMD wont release anything new for the next two years?!
 
Well, previously the big marketing push in the GPU world was 4K (and to some extent I expect it still will be) but now its VR. I think with the cost of the headsets + the lack of any quality content its a bit premature for that to be your main selling point. But on the other hand, if you keep hitting people over the head with "VR + DX12" people start to associate you with it, whether or not they really should.

Weren't they already miles ahead of nvidia in terms of VR performance? Nvidia's new VR features just made their GPU's not suck at VR which wasn't an AMD problem in the first place.
 
people here are trying to make a 200$ card into a competitor for a almost 400$ card 🙂

I got 10k for a car, I would like a top of the line mercedes please.

fud slinging is in over drive 🙂

It wasn't my intent to upset anyone with that joke my apologies 🙁

Maybe AMD should reconsider using this campaign in Europe.
