Sad times for AMD when this is what they are producing:
https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/RX_580_Nitro_Plus/31.html
Nvidia at around twice the performance per watt, that is more than occurs with a full node drop, more than occurs in a whole new architecture generation.Sure, as a consumer you may not care but it is a useful indication of the relative normalized performance level between AMD and NVidia. Now even if Vega magically can offer twice the performance per watt, which would be unheard of for the same node process, that puts it at about the same performance and power as Pascal, released 1 year later.
When you take into account that you could have got a 290x for the same price as this (or less) over 2 years ago it is pretty damning on the progress they have made.
Does the lack of info regarding VEGA = lack of performance in VEGA?
So how did AMD manage to make Polaris, a 14nm part, perform worse than even the Fury, a 28nm part (perf/watt)?

to be fair Rx 480 was aied at gm204 (970) this time rx580 is aimed at gm204 980.So how did AMD manage to make Polaris, a 14nm part, perform worse than even the Fury, a 28nm part (perf/watt)?
The vega bus is coming
It's on fire and has no driver

Heart breaking for any GPU tech fan.
at 1100Mhz the power consumption on these chips is probably pretty good
Wow so much doom and gloom in here.. The only thing wrong with the RX580 is the price and that is certainly not all on AMD. There is price gouging going on. Some of the rx 580s here in Denmark are only 20 quid cheaper than the 1070. That does not match the advertised MSRP.That one fact has highlighted how AMD have fallen in the gpu stakes
