I hope its like when the 4870 was released. Everyone thought it was 384shaders untill the very last day and it came out with 800 hehe. Fat chance.
 
What i don't get is, the FE ran DOOM in Vulkan, much slower than the card they showed off months ago doing it (didn't it ?), so either the RX and FE's are different, or something has gone wrong since then.

Exactly. The Engineering sample months ago on a debugging fiji drivers, and debugging pcb with usb monitoring was pushing overclocked gtx 1080 FPS in 4K DOOM.
Now it's between 1070 and 1080 reference on Frontier Edition.

Something's up, and we'll hopefully get some light shone on it Siggraph.

Edit: Wasnt the same ID from the doom demo spotted in Firestrike, and it was running at 1200Mhz as well.

Yes it was.

so a slower card than the FE (as that was at 1300 something wasn't it ?), was running DOOM in Vulkan faster than it, while also running it on Fiji drivers, with a debugging layer as well (as there was no Vega drivers at that time), yep, has to be something different, or gone wrong, as that doesn't make sense.

The FE was averaging 1440mhz according to PcPer's testing. Add in tests showing tiled rasterization is also not working, and HBCC wasn't on in the drivers either.

So to say something's off with Frontier Edition feels like an understatement right now. I look forward to what Raja has to say at Siggraph about all of this.

It does yeah, its got me all :confused:

I hope AMDs sitting there, 'they think the FE's the same as the one we showed off months ago running DOOM'

I mean, for it to even confuse you and you had lower expectations...imagine what everyone else is thinking.

Just looking at the specs compared to Fiji alone makes no sense for what we've scene. Hell FE sucks for mining even, it's on par with a RX 580.
