So still working on the Just about fast enough in some cases, but drinks the power formula.
If Vega and that are the legacy of Raja, he will.fit right in at Intel. Delivering a GPU capable of.meeting their demands of high power and heat to match their i9 and everything else these days.
The latest AMDGPU Linux drivers include XGMI ((inter-chip global memory interconnect) patches and are said to be under queue for introduction in the Linux 4.20~5.0 Kernel which would be part of the Vega 20 enabling stack.
Either this will be one of the Awesome Features Navi™ will have or this are the first signs that AMD works on GPU-GPU Communications for Navi™
The roadmap has GPU codenames confirmed till “Navi” and everything beyond that is labeled “Next-Gen”. The only details that are known about this next-gen part till now are that it will utilize the latest 7nm+ process node. Well, thanks to AMD themselves, we might have the first graphics architecture codename for this part which is said to be Arcturus.
Thing is, unless you’re running 4k or an ultra-wide intermediate resolution (at the moment, at least), even high-end Polaris is totally fine (for gaming). 1080p60 is doable with an RX480/570/580 just fine.
VR is dead on arrival, the only stuff currently really pushing for higher than a Polaris based card (or 1060) is 4k or high refresh twitch gaming.
I’m looking forward to a new Cyberpunk 2077 GPU, but as @thro has implied most older ones do fine. Thankfully, my r9 390 doesn’t have problems with games and even runs a bit faster than the rx480 of a friend of mine.
Really hope the high end Navi can beat the 1080Ti in performance. I am seriously considering upgrading from 1st gen Ryzen to 2nd gen Ryzen next year and if I could get rid of the FTW3 1080Ti at the same time I will. Also be a nice resell package w/Ryzen 1700, motherboard, RAM and 1080Ti.
Considering that Navi 10 will be equivalent ro Vega in terms of performance it isnsafe to assume that Navi 20 will beat a 1080ti. But you should wait for reviews…or embrace the tom’s hw spirit and pre-order all the things!
I doubt that.
Nvidia knows what they can charge for 1080p60 cards, AMD knows that too. With current high-end GPU prices, AMD could charge 600€ for it undercutting Nvidia and still make a profit (unless they throw 2/3rds semi-useless tech on the chip too )
If we get GTX1080 performance for 600€, it is good. If we get 2080ti performance for 900€, it would be fucking fantastic.
Edit: However, looking at the current course AMD is on (focusing on consoles, doing Linux prep before stuff leaks on Windows), it looks like they have given up on PCIe graphics for home use.
