Diddly squat, my dude. Diddly squat.So whats new in here without reading all the pages back?
Any news lately new leaks? Want some Navi action.
We now know that even though Humbug upgraded recently and was not planning to upgrade, he boarded the hype train and is now looking to upgrade againSo whats new in here without reading all the pages back?
Yeah I've been following the Nvidia threads on and off for a while. The mindset of these people amazes me.
Two Nvidia generations in a row now have had catastrophic hardware issues yet it doesn't matter. The fans are still DESPERATE to buy one.
Yet AMD have a minor driver issue (now fixed) and people avoid it. AMD's upcoming RDDA2 cards need to be 100% perfect in every way because people are looking for the tiniest excuse to avoid AMD.
I do wish sites would stop directly comparing Ampere's FP32 performance to RDNA / RDNA2, when we already know Ampere can only ever produce around 2/3 of that performance in applications that also use INT32 resources (e.g. games). At 22.5 TFLOPS, AMD should be kicking dust in the 3080's eyes.
I think that's the most pointless article I've ever read.
Hence the quotation marks around "work". We all know the past few AMD releases have been pushed past their efficiency sweet spot and have greatly benefitted from some tuning to bring the temps and the heat down (which has often resulted in a performance boost). I was just saying don't throw the Ampere is hot and hungry mud slinging around because the Nvidiots will just fire back with "but Vega but Navi but Polaris blah blah blah". Let's not stoop to their level

Yep.It shouldnt even be considered an article! you could get that BS down on a tweet.

Yep.
ahh right ok, so you're saying they're not tuned as such... yeah suppose so, but they still worked though, whether they ran hot or not... they didn't fail, well mine didn't but yeah I get your point, no problemo lolHence the quotation marks around "work".

From the comments section of a different side:
If we believe the leaked specs, is this comment fair or FUD?
Navi 21 will reportedly pack up to 80 compute units (CUs) where we should see 5120 stream processors, with a Navi 21A variant at 2050MHz while there will also reportedly be a Navi 21B at up to 2200MHz. The higher-end Navi 21B at 2200MHz would result in shader performance of around 22.5 TFLOPs -- which means it'll lose in a big way against NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 3080 which has 29.8 TLFOPs.
We should note that TFLOPs performance won't win the battles, and AMD will have many aces up its sleeve when it comes to RDNA 2. AMD is also making its new Radeon RX 6000 series on the 7nm node at TSMC, versus NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 30 series GPUs being made on Samsung 8nm.
We should expect the Navi 21B variant to probably try get close to the RTX 3080 (and maybe closer to RTX 3070), while the Navi 21A might hit the RTX 3060 Ti or RTX 3070 territory.
You have to hate these people.....
3080: 29.8 TLFOPs
Big Navi: 22.5 TFLOPs
Therefore Big Navi = 3070 <> 3080.
As if Compute = Gaming performance.
By their measure a 3080 is a 2080TI +250%.
Idiots...
