Alereon posted:AMD APUs already support GDDR5, it was supposed to be offered on DIMMs but this never came about. I wonder what prices are like for current-gen DDR4 compared to GDDR5? Wait, why is there still a GDDR5 memory controller on the newer Excavator APU's? Further, why would they let a GDDR5 memory controller take up precious space on Raven Ridge?

Raven Ridge, which I believe is using Zen, will be a all new APU so it probably won't have the GDDR5 memory controller anymore. But current APU's might still have it but there but disabled.

But current APU's might still have it but there but disabled. That's what I thought and why I was supposing usage of DDR4. I mean, DDR3 is basically dead to anything FinFet because even the lowest of lowest end will get bottlenecked by it, so the new minimum has to be DDR4 (if it's cost effective which kind of seems the case due to DDR4 prices right now). The other option is that we've reached high enough saturation with decent iGPUs that anything you might consider for sub 80GB/s bandwidth is pointless to make a dGPU out of. We were already pretty borderline with that for 28nm (Oland, Cape Verde DDR3 cards), and the HD 530 apparently performs pretty similar, so

Yeah iGPU performance will keep going up and begin to eat away at low to mid-ish performance dGPU's if for no other reason than improving iGPU performance is easier than improving CPU performance and Intel has to find some way to sell their stuff. And AMD will still have to offer a competitive product too so they'll probably follow suit with their APU's. It'd be foolish not to. edit: \/\/not that I know of sorry man, couldn't you play with custom resolutions and switch back and forth as needed?

Edmond Dantes posted:Huh. A few posts ago I mentioned my new card was running a bit warm while idling (60C at some points), but since the temps where under load were fine (67C) I wasn't worrying about it. I had noticed it was clocking up but I thought it was some hung process. Which chrome extension? Maybe its got a bitcoin/litecoin miner hidden inside?

The custom resolution menu is kind of terrifying and so is the first guide I found to doing downsampling with it. I guess I'll just stick to GeDoSaTo, there aren't that many games I can run well at what is essentially 1440p anyway.

It's surprising that gpus don't support nearest neighbor interpolation yet, now that different native resolutions are becoming more popular. A 4K display that could display 1080p by just multiplying each pixel by 4 while not introducing the blur of bilinear interpolation would probably be pretty convenient for those who want to work on 4K but game on 1080p

It would be really noticeable when compared to a native res image. It really only works on pixel art.

Sorry, here I go again: I've been on a "let's test old games with max settings" spree since I got the 970, and today I was running Crysis 3 when I noticed my FPS wouldn't go past 30. I fiddled with V-Sync and the settings a bit, but then I noticed my card was running at 99% usage, but at 1/2 the GPU clock and memory clock speeds. I had the power setting in "Adaptive" (the default) in 3d Settings at the Nvidia Control Panel, and only when I set it to "prefer maximum performance" (global, the per-setting game for Crysis 3 was doing jack poo poo) it clocked up to 100% and the fps jumped from 30 to 50~60. Should I leave the power setting to MAXIMUM POWER, or should it be clocking up properly when needed if left in Adaptive?

It's a fairly common "fix", even direct from Nvidia. The downside is adaptive is supposed to prevent background processes from hogging your GPU, so if you do have things doing that its an issue. However just check your clock speeds when youre in desktop and if its still downclocking properly leave it at max.

So, I've got a budget of $600ish (but saving money is always cool) for a new video card, primarily for Total Warhammer, but looking for it to last me a few years. Now that nothing new is happening, it seems like 980ti is the way to go? And wait for any form of sale at all, gently caress tax refund pricing.

If you want a card NOW, and don't feel like waiting until AMD makes their reveal, yeah, the 980Ti is a hell of a card, and you can pick up some of the top-end versions (6 GAMING, GOLDEN, etc) for <$550 with rebates from the usual players and/or Jet.com.

Err, at least give it till Computex before making a purchase. This is supposed to be the big reveal for P10 and GP104, and both looks to promise significant power savings compared to the 980ti while having similar or better performance for a cheaper price.

Guys I have an R9 Nano and I'm trying to enable virtual super resolution so I can run DOTA2 at 4k with less coil whine (it seems the lower the FPS the less noise). Is there a way to enable it for just that game rather than globally? Is there any other way to reduce FPS besides VSYNC? Like dial down the clock-speed or something?

So the Radeon Pro Duo apparently comes with 3 Fiji GPU's. 2 in the card 1 in a case for display purposes or whatever. Kinda cool but boy the failure rates must be incredible if they're doing that. Even for a $1500 low volume product.

If it's true that they are canceling production of the 980ti, does that make it likely that they will have a 980ti class Pascal chip in June or whenever they cancel it? Or do they generally just kill last gen's 980ti level card while taking their time to produce a new one? What do you industry pundits think I'm in the awkward spot where I'd like to get something around the 980ti level of feeps per dollar but my system is on cinderblocks until I get a new card so I don't feel like holding out for a year, either. e: I guess I'd like to wait for display port 1.4 support, too, just in case there is some epic 144hz 21:9 display and the market comes down in price a bit fozzy fosbourne fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Apr 13, 2016 |

What do you industry pundits think The 980Ti was a response to an AMD top tier card, so don't expect a 1080Ti if AMD isn't competitive. You can expect a 1070 series card to be pretty close to a 980 in performance, and a 1070Ti card might appear that offers 980Ti like performance. This is how nVidia has traditionally done market segmentation, however the addition of directx 12, VR headsets and the die shrink may change the entire calculation of market segmentation (or may not). Don't expect any of the upcoming next gen cards to support DP1.4, that spec was only finalized a few months ago, and getting it into silicon and through certification will take until at least the generation of cards following.

Frys wasn't able to get enough 980Ti's in to meet demand. I bought the last Asus Strix they had (Open box no less, but saved me $50) and they had 1 EVGA one left before it too was gone. They had a collection of 980's that were priced well to sell and a bunch of 970's and below, but the sales guys there said the walls were stocked full, then down to nothing in like a week or so. They can't keep the cards in stock and from the looks of it, they weren't kidding. The question is, will there be a huge gap in time before the next high end arrives because having a hole in the timing feels really odd considering nothing has come out to replace the current gen's high end and may still not for quite some time...
