He only missed the HBCC,NPC,packed maths,etc.

It means there appears to be a big jump in performance per shader whilst cutting down on VRAM usage.

I haven't missed anything and as I said so far it's been disappointing, We already knew about HBCC.

We knew about it but have never seen it in action nor what sort of performance we can maybe expect.

Also appears HTC and Valve are incorporating asynchronous re-projection into VR games running on AMD cards.

And what exactly have we learned so far? As you said "the sort of performance we can maybe expect" More question marks. I was hoping for a bit more than that hence why I said "Very disappointing so far".

Raja said at the beginning that if we wait till the end we'll get more info so I'm hoping that'll interest me.

Epic working with AMD on forward rendering for VR - thats a big deal since Epic tends to work closer with Nvidia.

whats walter white doing at GCN?

Some very interesting software/rendering stuff so far. Still waiting for some VEGA performance. cmon!

AMDs presentations are always soooo slick. Still, hopeful for Vega.

The biggest problems is the screens which are years away from being good enough.
