Full AMD Polaris 10 GPU has 2304 Stream Processors

I too like to remove 30% performance (on a 1080) for slight IQ differences.

Mirror's Edge @ 1440p Fury X is only 3 fps slower than 1070.

None of those games run those super high settings at reasonable fps. Turn down a setting or two, get huge performance gains and its playable with no issues.

Mirror's Edge @ 1440p Fury X is only 3 fps slower than 1070.

Running at Ultra because it doesn't have enough VRAM to push Hyper, even though it clearly has enough horsepower, considering a slower 8GB R9 390 pushes +40 FPS @ Hyper 1080p.

For 1920 × 1080 the finest Hyper-preset is employed, but the texture details are reduced to Ultra. Otherwise, have graphics cards with only four gigabytes already in Full HD problems. For 2,560 × 1,440 will return to Ultra and reduced again to the preset high in 3,840 × 2,160.

Source? This seems pretty "rumor mill"

The first is real..
https://newsroom.intel.com/news-releases/intel-announces-new-patent-cross-license-agreement-with-nvidia/

The 2nd is a strong rumor since AMD was about to buy nVIDIA or ATI. And Intel didn't wanted to be left behind and wanted to buy the other.

And the 3rd is likely to see since Apple wanted to be elitist. And you know, HBM2 is a big attraction for their buyers.

In latest macOS Sierra build people found out that there are references to PCIex Tonga, Polaris, and Fiji chips.

And that the GPUs are absolutely normal DeviceID's that are in those GPUs. There is not single custom version of DeviceID linked to Mac Pro framebuffer, nor iMac. Every single one is completely conventional.

Also in Sierra there is plug and play support for external GPU enclosures.

Yes, they had to retest because they didn't even realize they weren't running in hyper settings the first test / playthrough.

Thats how little difference they make, even though its a massive performance hit.
