agree this is why my next build will be vega / zen

Something clearly went wrong with Polaris, as the card they showed against the 950 (or whatever it was last year), using way less power, was not the one released, as the release one, used as much, if not more than the 1080.

That was the RX 460, not the RX 480. it would be pretty astonishing if the 480 used less power than the GTX 950, its more than 2x faster.

Was it, well something must have gone wrong, as no way should the 480 have needed around the same/more power than the 1080.

Agreed, For example G-sync, I'm pretty sure the boffin's at Nvidia knew it could be done across the upcoming dp version via adaptive sync but they chose to do it in a way that locks people into their eco-system, They do the same with visual techs that are locked to work on only Nvidia cards as well as making others target the oppositions weaknesses, You expect it too a certain degree as it is all about winning sales but they just get worse and worse, Plus there's no sense of customer loyalty. Once they have you locked in with g-sync they push top end pricing sky high knowing they have you so you'll pay it. After all you already spent an extra couple of hundred on their monitor so what's an extra couple of hundred for a card? After all no-ones offering an alternative. But guess what, This year they are..

I hope they've learned from their FuryX mistake, and are now going to allow custom cooling for them.
You know it was, nice try tho.

ehhh,their main demo was comparing a polaris gpu to maxwekl and showing th lowerpoeer and hugher performance. That was never realised in the production cards.
except for the common graphics open standards, you know, like OpenGL.
clocks zpeed was irrelevant, AMD couldnt hit the same performnace and power efficiency in commerival quantities.

Red reeeeeed whiiiiiiiine, goes to my heaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddd
I really hope they do actually have a cracker on their hands this time.
Yes it does, the GTX 950 isn't in this but the 750TI and 960 are and the power is way less than those, stop trolling...

I personally think Amd do have something special with both Zen & Vega
Feels like Amd are about to lay down there cards and go all in..
Let hope so

It is an interesting one as I almost get the feeling AMD know that it will be costly to nVidia to answer them if they go all in - but at the end of the day nVidia is in a better shape to tank them financially if they do force nVidia's hand so it would be somewhat of a pointless blow.
They were showing the Polaris 11 being lower power for the same performance as the 950, which it does achieve for final silicon.
AMD support OpenGL more rigorous than nvidia, there are many problems with OpenGL and Nvidia working with devs and having them use their own extensions is a bigger reason for higher performance on nvidia cards than AMD with openGL.
THe P11 power consumption demonstration was frame capped and likely at lower clocks than final silicon. Since they were showing lower power consumption for equal performance.
With Volta pushed back to 2018, and nothing better than the TXP until then, I doubt it.
