Question Speculation: RDNA2 + CDNA Architectures thread

[uzzi38]

All die sizes are within 5mm^2. The poster here has been right on some things in the past afaik, and to his credit was the first to saying 505mm^2 for Navi21, which other people have backed up. Even still though, take the following with a pich of salt.

Navi21 - 505mm^2

Navi22 - 340mm^2

Navi23 - 240mm^2

We can go back to the RDNA3 analogy if you want: 3+ year old architecture, the drivers are 101% mature by now. Developers are well aware of them by now. Why continue with game ready drivers?

Very little reason. If you don't install the game ready drivers the RDNA3 cards will work just fine.

The game ready drivers are mostly to add FSR4 support, which RDNA3 currently don't have.

The "Game Optimizations" that are being talked about are (IIRC) Game by Game.

It was AMD themselves who first stated RDNA1 and 2 GPUs would be left out of game optimizations, not people.

Game optimisations is a small part of support.

AMD said they weren't doing game optimisations and despite people believing that they now backtracked they won't do them and no one else will be the wiser.

It seems people prefer to be deceived instead of understanding how thing works

Not even AMD will be stupid enough to do this now.

Everyone's radars will be pointing at those driver release notes for the foreseeable future. If they fail on this they'll be caught and trust in the brand will go down the toilet.

Might as well say no game optimisations.

How will you know?
The 6800xt got 63 FPS instead of 65 FPS at 1080p high?

That is the game optimisation 3%+ extra performance.

The game will work or it is a bug that is part of general bug fixes.

If you were paying attention, they used weasel words to say nothing has changed but to make people feel better.

they used weasel words

we won't stand a chance
