'Disruptive' must be a buzz word in the industry at the moment. Our CTO is using it too!

Big companies want to be disruptive and wish they were. The reality is that the most disruptive companies are startups.

I've been enjoying everything so far.

Yeh I was gonna say it's been pretty good so far.

Looks like they've built a very coherent company strategy which should continue to innovate.

opethdisciple · 16 May 2017 at 22:33

Being the open source brand might prove to be a very very shrewd move by AMD in the future.

AMD is similar to Google with Android whilst Nvidia is more like Apple with IOS.

Data sets man... big... I mean... like... whoa... you know... damn... you just can't know...

Training wheels. You know. Wow.

Achieving their goal of 4K 60FPs standard with Vega. Now is that all titles or just a few select ones like Battlefield 1

Edit, Sniper Elite 4, single Vega 4K 60FPS. Just like 5 seconds! Buggers!

RavenXXX2 · 16 May 2017 at 22:44

sniper elite lol.

Hbcc sometimes quadruples available memory or did I mishear

N19h7m4r3 · 16 May 2017 at 22:44

Showing Tomb Raider on 2GB HBCC LOL!

Didn't @Kaapstad show that game will eat over 11GB VRAM

2-3x improved minimums with HBCC. :O

VEGA + THREADRIPPER

Nice to know they're aiming at 60FPS on 4K , gives me hope that Vega will be worth waiting for after the 1080p-aimed 480/580.

They claim they achieved it. That's a bold claim, but the last time AMD made a big claim of +40% IPC on Zen, they ended up with a 52% IPC gain.

I hope with Vega they live up to their claim of 4K 60fps.

In theory could they stick SSG in the high end Vega gaming chips. I guess it would work with HBCC?

stulid · 16 May 2017 at 22:49

I want training wheels off fo sho.

muon · 16 May 2017 at 22:49

The webcastevents site causes a massive memory link on chrome. Using 1GB of memory right now.

Radeon Pro SSG is Vega based they showed in a slide, also I imagine the cost is extremely prohibitive for consumer use.
