AMD Confirms RX 480 At $199 USD, Other APU & Polaris Announcements

[ManuelGomes]

Great.
Dual Polaris 10 full fat, underclocked (core and mem) to fit <250W. WX7100 clocks that is.
Fiji might be dead for good.
Now only 5K and 8K monitors are mentioned. We are approaching that time.

NVidia Volta might be coming next year with GDDR6 also.

You can run two if you want 250W more.

Native speaker translation:
- When Vega?
- When it is ready. And it will be this quarter .

Any hopes, thoughts, dreams about its performance, price, power consumption?

Why don't you just wait?

 

[koyoot]

Why don't you just wait?

Wait for answers to my question? That's what I am actually doing.

BTW, the new Duo card is less powerful than the previous one, but it costs $500 less and consumes like 100W less.

Boom:

...or thud?

Apparently they haven't noticed the K80.

Quadro P6000: $5000

Quadro P6000: $5000

That's single GPU.

That's single GPU.

And with 24 GiB total memory.

What do you not understand about "moving the goalposts"?

The ATI page says "first dual GPU card for professionals".

The K80 has been out a long time.

It's either first, or it's not. (It's not.)

Mentioning price is moving the goalposts.

I did not pay attention to that blurb.

But K80 is not really "G", and it is "enterprise", not "professional".

That's just moving the goal posts in a different direction.

 

[ManuelGomes]

GPU allocation seems nice.

So, Vega will be here this quarter? Meaning till June?
Let's hope this time AMD will really deliver, make our jaws drop. I believe they're going in the right direction but... we'll see.
With this new Pro Duo, I'm not sure there will be a Vega Pro soon.

Two weeks until the Volta announcments on 8 May....

I would make a Duo Compute for Aiden first

That does not provide better cooling.

For consumers the architecture on high level is reused GP100 chip architecture. For Volta you have to wait till Q4 2017, and its only for HPC(same thing as with this round of GPUs). It will be actually interesting to see what changes Nvidia will do with Volta on HPC, because they will go next turn to consumer GPUs.

 

[AidenShaw]

For consumers the architecture on high level is reused GP100 chip architecture.

But that's an improvement, no?

You've been claiming without references that Pascal consumer is reused Maxwell. So isn't reused Pascal a big leap?

Here's AMD's line of thinking:

[AidenShaw]

Here's AMD's line of thinking:

http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/server/s9300-x2

ATI's thinking is complete disregard for the facts.

They call the S9300-x2 a dual GPU professional card, and the newer Radeon Pro Duo the *first* dual GPU professional card.
