AMD removed Polaris page ,which clamed Polaris 10 2.8x performance per watt.

This thread is just troll bait. The Polaris page is still there with the same 2.8x efficiency info and videos linked directly on the main homepage. The link posted in the OP is totally wrong:

http://radeon.com/

http://radeon.com/introducing-the-polaris-architecture/

The usual Nvidia foollovers :) are quick to post here but it appears they lack the basic intelligence to simply remove the http://radeon.com/polaris-architecture/ bit from the link and verify the claims before making idiots of themselves.

The OP is clearly trolling or got his link wrong. Edit your link dude and accept your mistake.

Interesting...

So essentially, he just removed the "introducing-the-" from the URL and attempted to once again make an anti-amd thread, surprise surprise :D He should change his name to AMDoomed

Aren't there harsh punishments for trolling/baiting threads like this?


And as said, it looks like AMD covered themselves well by saying "UP TO" 2.8x so a non-issue really, certainly nothing like the outright lies about certain specifications and support for other products out there though ;)

Take a look at his other posts made recently. Hopefully the dons sort him out soon.
 
Ah the persecution complex from some individuals who not long ago were quite happily doing the same kind of thing in regard to nVidia.

Wrong. You cannot find a page where AMD compared 270 with RX 470. Can you link that page?
 
:D:D:D The original is in here trying to do the same.

No surprises there :p They are probably on steam group chat having a good giggle to themselves right now :p :D

Yup all his posts are just the same, like I said, he should rename himself to AMDoomed, either that or lambchop-v2 :D The posts are amusing/entertaining though in the same way as lambchops and floppers were/are.

Doubt it, the thread will probably just be deleted/locked.
 
In fairness Si, those claims of 2.8X performance per watt are clearly wrong and whilst people like me and you don't care, having seen how people reacted to the 970, there clearly is people who do care about false advertising. My first comment was tongue in cheek sarcasm and making light of this thread but truthfully, people will be kicking off about this.

lol Whatever Greg, You are so ready to jump on anything that makes AMD look bad.

The Claims are UP TO. Just like Nvidia claimed UP TO 2X VR performance of the Titan X for the 1080. But that's only in a specific bench. Just like AMD's power figures are probably from a very specific test. OR what about Nvidia's boost clocks, they aren't guaranteed either, the phrase "UP TO" is used for them too.

Or what about the drivers that list performance increases? They say UP TO xx% increase in performance. Like Nvidia wonder drivers that claimed UP TO 64% increase in performance. But came nowhere close to that.

Are they all causes of false advertising too?

No they aren't and I can't believe you would equate this with the 970 situation. Giving wrong specs to reviewers, every marketing slide, website, etc all had wrong ROPS, Cache sizes and they maintained this pretense right up to the time where sheers numbers eventually forced them to come clean.

But clearly some care enough to go massively in defence mode. Time for many beers for me and I will try and put this thread to the back of my mind but it will eat away at me :D
 
Well whether AMD change the way their website shows info or not, the basic info shown on the launch slides is still correct, so Polaris is 2.8 times more efficient than a previous AMD architecture.

Or are people saying that these figures are actually incorrect ?

Erm the op has now admitted he was wrong. The claims were up to 2.8 x and they proved that in certain circumstances this is achieved. It's not hard to grasp but if i was you after a few pints i would not come back into this thread as that never goes well.
