Good news is it's single threaded so my dozen user applications can share the other 3 cores.

The 460/480 series provides pretty good bang for the buck currently but you're still pretty much better off with a 1060/1070, and Vega likely won't be competitive with the 1080/1080ti.

unclear whether they need to compete with the 1080s though. vulkan is rather fixing one of amds main problems (software parity) for them atm, and it was never like they were too stupid to figure out how to stick shaders onto dies anyway. i sort of think amd may actually make it (i.e. struggle along almost making profits for another decade) at this rate if the zen roadmap works out

Lol you can turn on threading through some obscure option flag but it will gently caress up layer composition I hate autodesk so much

my friend was complaining on fb about how his pc has, for as long as he's had it, randomly rebooted. he could never figure it out and it was never reproducible. people were offering suggestions which were all "did that. did that. tried that. nope, not that." the next he posts that he removed his overclock and it stopped doing it. the first response was basically 'you idiot'

anand's take so if you have a cpu bound multi-threaded workload, and for some reason didn't already have a xeon e5 to run it on, you could conceivably save money by buying a ryzen

or, as far as I can make out, need ECC memory
|
# ? Mar 2, 2017 15:50 |

yup. the core can support it, but all the consumer parts have that disabled. so forget reliably using high memory densities

here's a hint, if you have any use case for that many cores, you can't use ryzen because of the lack of ecc support
