/w4v/ - Daily Wait for Vega Thread

This is where we wait for the latest AMD graphics card which AMD will surely release in a timely manner and will definitely blow all of our minds, no questions asked, 100% guaranteed, no chance it'll fail, just you wait.

>mcdonalds color scheme

Rest easy user, it's just a concept.

390x aussie here again

i am fucking sick of waiting its a absolute joke we have to wait almost 2 years for a shitty fury x replacement

I still prefer Fallout Edition.

welp when we said that amd is sandbagging like crazy we knew it
youtube.com/watch?v=zeoiPVVUnl8&t=405s

no drivers for it
artificiallly being holded back
basicly a hype card till the real thing comes out
this card will be a monster of OC

Haven't been keeping up with graphics cards lately. Can this thing be preordered yet? I want to try and secure one before miners grab them all.

dude amazon is selling amd cards on a bulk nowdays
pretty sure you need to be lucky af to get one

Not yet. Just wait

miners might not buy this one, making it the sole GPU on the market at reasonable price
even 1080 are stupid expensive right now because of miners, in my country they cost ~$1600

I don't know, it might be crazy good for AMD this year if RX delivers something slightly above 1080.

you dropped this ™

just get an nvidia

You wish.

>tfw we have reached a point with computer hardware where you need to pre-order some component not because you're hyped for it, but because some fucks buy everything out

I haven't followed Sup Forums much lately, but
this card is being shit upon because of its bad gaming performance, when it isn't for gayman? How it performs in intended role?

What's the function of the R cube?

This looks awful. Is it shopped?
Looks like McDonalds.

Will Vega allow me to kill crypto miners with thought alone?

390x here again ,why are amd so fucking incompetent?

We know the launch window is gonna be a clusterfuck aka 290 and 480

Cosmetic, it's not a GPU tach.
>Is it shopped?

and here i thought you were talking about this cube

100tflops

Fucking miners, are there any chance for the cryptocurrency to crash into oblivion and never recover anytime soon ?I want to buy a new GPU

>he doesn't like mcdonalds
wew to you

I want to buy a Koduri cube.

I don't want to be anywhere near a pajeet soul cube

t. leather jacket man

i don't want to be near sentient cowhide clothing either

>inb4 this acts like a single GPU through infinity fabric

Pretty sure it summons Pinhead, though.

What is this thing?

A hypercube.

>RX delivers something slightly above 1080.
After driver optimizations and actually enabling the hardware features it has, it should easily be above a 1080 in most games. Real question is if they can price it the same as a 1080 as the die size is still quite large, and how long it will take them to get the drivers mature (If it's longer than a month or two, gg)

Still don't think we're seeing consumer Volta until Q2 2018. I doubt NVidia has any reason to rush things even if they're not using GDDR6 on their new cards.

Consumer Volta is bigger housefire-enabling dies. Why would you wait?

I'm interested in what kind of new stuff they added, like the convergence optimizer thing. Wonder if this makes any difference.

It's only for GV100 and it's only (just like L1 changes) for easier GPGPU programming.

vega borg edition once you booted it up you part of the collective

this is literally a hardware sc the sole reason as to why amd always has over the top tdp
and this is the reason to the rumors of volta being i9 lvl of housefires as well

would be hilarious if it's inverted on both fronts

GPUs will always be hot because you can make better GPU will bigger, more power hungry die.

same was said about 6c+ CPUs

You can't directly compare GPUs and CPUs.

AMD Threadripper when?

youtube.com/watch?v=8iaUjU-2Jmc
SELL SELL SELL

Different workloads.
Code that runs on GPU is basically lots of tiny simple tasks that are embarrassingly parallel.
Code that runs on CPU is a lot more complex, with lots of branching and dependencies, which makes parallelism hard.

They will probably test the Radeon Pro WX 9100 with games too and bitch about it.

techpowerup.com/234855/amd-readies-radeon-pro-wx-9100-vega-for-professionals

FE was a mistake marketing-wise anyway.

kek

Vega is a disaster level blunder.

At this point? No.

>SELL SELL SELL
>Implying AMD's stock will tank because of a bunch of gamer nerds whining on the internet about a GPU that was never even targeted at them
>Implying Epyc won't kick Intel in the balls causing their stock price to go even higher

>allahu akbar

He's not paki tho.
>replying to bait
Come on.

AMDrones on suicide watch, best day of my life

Yes yes Huang now imagine the margins on EPYC.

>Biggest AMD apologist on youtube calls vega worse than fermi
>Muh not intended for gaymen
Just accept the facts, vega is a failure

>worse than thermi
Wat.

Watch the video you dumb fucking retard

>we want the american market

Why would i watch some kiketube eceleb?

wew lad

390x yank, just buy another hawaii card, it will only draw about the same wattage as an oc'd liquid cooled vega, and perform better.

Like, why would i watch some youtube eceleb?

I can barely understand this guy. He needs to tone down the accent or use speech synthesis

>not Wait for Navi

ya blew it

We're waiting for vega to see how big of a disaster it will be even more

t. leather jacket man

t. dumb american

Yea I'm a bad boy. You see my tattoo?

Huang you're a gigantic fucking faggot that almost killed nVidia.

holy fuck if even adored thinks its shit, its fucking shit

guess im keeping my 290x again

...

THE FIRE RISES

>amd confirmed frontier is NOT a gaming card
>HURR DURR VEGA SUCKS MUH GAMES

no, wait for navi

It's either RTG have gaymen drivers for release or Vega is DOA.

>23 mins in
>amd sanbagged the drivers to kill the hype because it wont beat a 1080ti
>Frontier performance is near 1070 level
>team red on suicide watch
>new driver enables full vega power level
>1080 performance
>red team flood the streets and rejoice
Lisa knows what she's doing.

What's your excuse going to be when the Radeons are also bad?

It's already shown to be more than a match for the 1080TI in productivity benchmarks, including cinebench's openGL test. If they're sandbagging and Vega isn't broken hardware then Lisa's going to be dropping a bomb

It's 'not a gaming card' in the same way the Titan x is not a gaming card.

So that really isn't an argument

>all Sup Forums would ever buy it for is gaming
>try and dismiss it

kek

Lisa gives ~0 shits about gaymen markets.
It's no money versus selling EPYC with stellar margins.

Yes, just what we all wanted, openGL performance. i cant wait to enjoy all these benchmarks with my friends!

What else would you need besides OGL/OCL performance from a fucking Radeon? It's Sup Forums.

Isn't the console gpu market what kept them afloat

A combination of things kept them afloat. Definetly not gaymen GPUs.
Anyway it's time for AMD to eat through some sweet sweet datacenter marketshare.

>Rx 480 and Rx 580
>Not completely shitting in the 1060
>Not better at DX12 and vulkan

Fuck off dumbass.

He means RX Vega.

Make me bitch

It means the hardware is all there and works just fine on a generic rendering benchmark, the drivers for DX games (and maybe other openGL functionality) just needs to be finished.

gpu.userbenchmark.com/ it should be more powerful, its more expensive

compare 1060 with 560

>trusting amd to supply good drivers.

so itll be good in 2 years

I don't think RTG will be able to do it in time.

They've got that sweet Wait™ tech

>Trusting Nvidia with drivers
It'll be shit within 2 years

when i will sell my card and buy an up to date card. all graphics cards are out of date in 3 or so years

This kek

How about AMD just release a product thats good at launch instead of something that 'might' be good in a few years

>R9 series and rx series
>Not good at launch
>Not improving on top of that.

>good
>double the power draw and heat output of the competition

They had good performance, that's true, now with Vega it seems like they are on behind on power consumption/heat and performance

Yes yes they are behind everything now its my time to give away my money to leather jacket man.

My current hardware is so old that pretty much anything will be a good upgrade. I just want to get RX Vega so I don't have to bother getting anything newer for a few years.
