Radeon AIB Partners "Frustrated" at AMD

2 hours 24 minutes I believe.

2 hours for 50 miles and at 25mph (the difference between there speeds) you travel 5 miles every 12 minutes so would need 24 minutes to do the 10 miles needed to catch up the 60 mile head start.

Yeah, you're right somehow I managed to do 10/25 and get 0.2, should be 0.4. 0.4 * 60 = 24, 0.2 * 60 = 12.

Work on the fact that the second train is effectively doing 25mph (the speed difference between the 2 trains). Then work out how long it will take the second train to travel 60 miles (the distance between the 2 trains) @25mph.

So yes 2hr 24mins.

If train A leaves the station going 60 miles per hour and train B leaves one hour later going 85 miles per hour, how long will it take train B to catch up with train A?

:D

-are they going the same direction?
-are they going to the same destination?
-does this take into account for leaves on the line, signals etc?

Question cannot be answered without this information.
 
Of course they are frustrated, they are losing presence. These guys have nothing worth looking at currently. NV have brought Pascal forward to make that even more apparent.

Rekt?

How do you know though?

I don't know. None of us know. We can only speculate. But the fact that AMD didn't really show us anything new for past 4 years other than rehash of their own products, and has nothing to show us now, is worrying. If they fail this time we will be left with nvidia jacking up their prices every year.

Once again AMd have struggled with r&d but the 4 years of rehashing isn't correct.
Amd experimented with hawaii which was their first wide engine front end gcn1.1
They then developed tonga gcn 1.2 which had updates to the memory throughput and uvd engine. Tonga was then scaled up by x2 to make fiji.
The 4 years rehash only applies to gcn 1 products like the current r7 370 (pitcairn v3).

This is what people are ignoring, also prices have been rising even with amd present in the market. It wouldn't make any difference to pricing if only nvidia existed. Just nvidia would lock you into things of no choice.

I can see nvidia locking the clockspeeds of their gpu's and only if you pay a charge can you have free reign over boost or memory speeds.

Polaris only needs 20% in each tier to be competitive' have some faith.

EEERRRRRR!! Take your head out of the green bucket you have got it in!

Those rehashes are currently kicking a lot of ass in DX12 and showing how advanced the thinking was at AMD in 2011, let alone 2016. We have 390/X cards beating 980/Ti's in benchmarks. And don't start spewing that there aren't many DX12 games so it doesnt matter, because the future will only bring more DX12 games not less. Also when devs code for DX12 from the ground up it will become even more apparent than it is now that 16nm Pascal (16nm Maxwell with big overclocks) wont be enough to save it in the long term.

It is also becoming apparent that the 1070 and 1080 are not going to live up to the hype of the "Nvidia Show" we had last weekend when the real benches come out.

Everyone and their donkey knows that AMD have stated that the Polaris P10 and P11 will be out in summer and just because Nvidia have rushed out their launch to get one over on them doesnt mean that Polaris is late FFS!!! On that note, in the past few months AMD had showed more on the Polaris than Nvidia did with Pascal. Nvidia users were moaning on about how Nvidia were keeping extremely quiet and not showing anything for months. Obviously after a paper launch with a hardware launch a few weeks away, Nvidia's marketing team are going to be showing a lot of the cards...that's totally natural.

You still have to wonder why they felt it necessary to do that though, seeing as their dominance of the graphics card sector is so great. Maybe they know something about Polaris/Vega that we don't.

Lots of short memories and speculation flying around here at the moment. The wise will wait for the smoke n mirrors to subside and look at the real world benches of 1070/1080 and Polaris/Vega before spending their cash regardless of which cards you eventually decide to buy. That way you will all avoid the regret of a misinformed choice.

You know it makes sense, Rodney!

Nothing rushed about the nVidia launch - they've been targeting early June release for around a year now.

Funny how you claim the nVidia cards aren't going to live upto the hype then in almost the same breath advise people to wait for benchmarks.
 
Lol, funny how my AMD "rehash" still beats the 970 and sometimes the 980. Even though it's cheaper than the 970....

Maybe AMD sold rehashes because their "old" technology was still beating Nvidia....
