Price Drop!

Pulled from Gigabyte Aero laptop that I permanently broke when trying to repair screen. Memory tested in another laptop and is fully functional. This is the exact module: https://www.newegg.com/kingston-16gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/N82E16820242417?&quicklink=true $40 shipped to continental US...

AMD managed to catch Intel in the CPU space despite all the inherent disadvantages Raja laments over. Intel was lazy and allowed AMD to catch up. Nvidia, on the other hand, is not lazy. RTX may be overpriced, and the tech may be a node too early, but Nvidia continues to fire on all cylinders and...

20% should be the normal cut across the board now, with it dropping to 10-15% after a certain sales revenue is met. 30% is ridiculous. If Valve has the foresight to keep future (massive) hits like Fortnite on their platform, they need to adjust their costs more than this. If they had been at...

How many times now has AMD pledged better driver support for laptops? They are absolutely ridiculous when it comes to driver support with graphics for end users not on desktops.

I have the V1.... does the V2 better fit the Cryorig C7? In V1 the stock fan ended up being virtually against the side panel, causing significant wind turbulence.

If the pending deal for the EVGA GTX 1070 falls through, let me know.

PM incoming

I haven't had any free time this year to play games and won't for the foreseeable future so I'm going to move to integrated graphics for the time being. Card works without issues; never mined with it.

If Nvidia is smart, and unfortunately they are, these new cards will have extremely high MSRP prices until the mining craze drops down. Nvidia is not going to let Newegg and it's partners have the lions share of the profit. Expect the GTX 2080 to be 50% faster than the GTX 1080 and carry a...

So much for Vega and this gen of AMD cards being a fine wine. Polaris gained maybe 5% ground vs. the 1060, and Vega hasn't gained any ground over 1080. Essentially the same speed while sucking down 80% more power and absolutely no headroom. OCing cards on this node has been crappy, but Vega...

I have an MSI 980 TI armor I'll part with for $400 shipped. PM me if interested.

512 gb/s on a 256-bit bus, and 768 on a 384-bit bus. Very nice!

If you want to sell the GTX 980, PM me!

So many good memories in this thread!

I'm predicting March 2018 for GV104, June or July for GV102- based Titan.

Nah I'm fine with the power requirements. Like I said, commitnto better engineering. Only one of the two companies have issues with the power specifications for PCIe.

With GDDR6 on the horizon, a 256 bit card will have up to 448 gb/s of bandwidth. A 384 bit card will have 672 gb/s. I just don't see a need for HBM in the consumer space if yields and prices are every bit as bad as people say. It's not worth saving 15 watts. A better solution is to just better...

There needs to be an LOL button beside the like button, because Vega threads are full of LOLs.

Oh so bad. I thought for sure Vega 56 would have a clear, albeit small, lead over GTX 1070. But if that graph is translated correctly.... this is overwhelmingly bad. Vega 64 will be 10+% slower than 1080 on average (except for DOOM and maybe one or two other games), and Vega 56 will be neck and...

Looking at charts is faster than skimming through a video, based on my experience.

Video-based video card reviews suck anyway.

I'm guessing half full. Vega 64 0-5% slower overall than a GTX 1080, while Vega 56 is 5-10 faster overall than a GTX 1070. The gap between V64 and V56 will be ~10%.

Discussing Nvidia architectures aren't nearly as exciting because they're on such a regular, predictable cadence that we already know what we're going to get. AMD on the other hand, it's like a traveling circus that is always different when it comes around. Sometimes it has some awesome stuff...

Did you think the same thing about Fury X? Because it was priced the same as a 980 TI and a vanilla 980 TI was slightly faster than a Fury X while every single after market 980 TI obliterated Fury X, at similar (same) prices.

TGP?! They are failing so bad right now. They don't want to admit TBP, so now they're limiting it to select parts of the graphics card. So much awful fail. So much cover up, so much diverting, so much alluding.... so much for Vega.

Except an overclocked 1080 TI will be 50% faster.

Zero need to run your heater in the winter! Make sure you have a nuclear reactor for a power supply.

It wasn't running at 4k though. It was running at a lower 21:9 3440x1440 resolution (or whatever that first number is), of which 4k is 67% more pixels. Just by extrapolation alone, a GTX 1080 should average over 70fps with the same settings.

Rather, Vega itself has narrowed its own intended markets. Can't do SFF, can't do notebooks, can't do enthusiast... But it can compete against the competition's #3 best!

I don't think I've seen a video card getting bashed this much leading up to it's release. It's seriously over before it even begins. RX Vega is DOA except for fire sales.

Or AMD is comparing it to a $600 after market 1080, which puts Vega at $500. I'd be floored if AMD sells Vega at $400. Regardless, it's going to be the shortest run big GPU ever released. They can't make their money back at $400, and they won't be able to sell at $500. Quite a conundrum.

GP102 came after GP104. GM200 came after GM204. GK110 came after GK104. GP100 was announced before GP104 came out, but GP100 never saw a consumer release. GV104 aka GTX 2080 will be here before GV102.

10% ahead in DOOM is unimpressive. Vega is already a failure.

I'm sure Volta will destroy both Pascal and Vega, but I doubt it'll be double perf/w, especially after factoring in ram, circuitry, etc. I'd bet it's right along the lines of real-world 50-60% perf/w increase.

Actually, if Vega (484mm2) comes in ony 0-5% faster than a GTX 1080 (315mm2), consumes 100+ more watts of power, and has absolutely zero headroom, then yes they have a huge engineering problem.

Interesting. I might keep mine now.

There must be quite a bit of transistor bloat that doesn't help gaming performance for it to be 512mm2. 35mm2 bigger than GP102, currently 40% slower, and consumes 50+ more watts. OUCH.

KILLER freaking deal! If everyone else falls through I'm in for one!

I think Vega will have a very short life span in the consumer space regardless of GV106.
