End of year? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

They need performance sorting now to help sales.

Wow just wow, do you not read or follow anything from amd?
Do you really think I was talking about performance drivers?

This is AMDs yearly feature driver release, it's when they announce big features eg like the image above.

No. I typically bury my head in the sand for 12 years a century only coming up to play with myself from time to time.

EDIT: And yes, I'm at work, so I took what you said as this would be there performance update for Vega. I'm happy as usual to admit that I was wrong :)

I don't, nor NVIDIA.

TrueAudio was used in one game (Thief) that I know of, so I would prefer that a vendor makes a specific effect and so what if it is locked to a vendor.... At least PhysX was used in a load of games. AMD make the effects and that is it. No game company really takes it up.

Hardware PhysX wasn't used in a load of games.

This is actually true, they is a lot more CPU physX games.

AMD Vega chips might be the last big Radeon GPUs they ever make.

These rumors are a lot of heresy. A lot of people jumping to conclusions that Navi will be Physically individual chips interconnected through Infinity Fabric. But nothing AMD has said indicates this for certain.

The fact is IF is already used in Vega. Where are those multiple chips? Well there aren't, it is a singular monolithic die. However, that die is composed of many modules, and those modules communicate, and likely do so using IF. There is liekly the possibilities of Vega in its profesional setting (Instinct) to have an interconnect to a CPU with IF, the same as Pascal can use NVlink to give more bandwidth. There is no reason to suppose that Navi will be any different in this regard.

People seem to forget that a GPU is already a multi-core design. Who cares that ryzen is 8 cores connected by IF. Vega is 4096 cores.


This doesn't mean that navo wont be some fantastic new deisgn that pushes the performance envelope etc.

Not as bad as it sounds. Just speculation that Navi will be multiple small dies connected by Infinity Fabric and acting seamlessly as one, more powerful chip. So while there will be no more large monolithic chips, there will be smaller cores acting together to produce a more powerful graphics card.

Sounds like a revolution. Take Vega or whatever develops by then, shrink it and have four of them able to work together is massive .

raja did talk about this in this interview, they didn't do it on vega because the tech wasn't ready, and they probably have the blueprint done on 7nm node.
