Considering it now has Tiled rasterisation and how all parts of the rendering chain a L2 cache coherent, more data is likely to remain on chip so it should run cooler i would expect. It actually uses more power to transfer data about than it does to compute data in an XPU nowadays.

what hot chip ? are you stuck in 2013 ? fast forward 4 years budy
tonga wan'st hot, followed by Fiji, and now polaris, the competition actualy have hotter chips...with their FE titans and ti, even polaris the hottest chip they made after hawaii runs at low 80s, while nvidia titans run high 80s, low 90s.
cpu, ryzen is way cooler than intel's, ryzen runs high 70s, 7700k spikes at 90s
it wouldn't bother me if you think that, but don't give a free pass to the competition, who's doing worse in some cases.

Well we have tomorrow hopeful for some decent info.
What time is the event scheduled for?
This is going to be a tough decision for me to go AMD. I know come Volta I will be Green with envy.
But I need an upgrade as my 970 is struggling and I need a new monitor as mine is pants.
Option one is go Vega and Free Sync2 to complement my new Ryzen. Option two is grab a 1080/1070 when the price tumbles when Vega launches and get a Gsync panel. Then when Volta launches, I wont have to be green with envy as if I want an upgrade it is still an option.
WHY am I so GREEN blind. What have Nvidia done?
Vega needs to do something special to get my attention.

How does that relate to what i said? when you consider pro parts, especially those that go in servers, they have to remain within their thermal and power envelope. I said nothing about Vega being hot.
i don't think AMD would give much info tomorrow about vega, it's roadmap talk mostly, you will get better look at navi, apu etc.Well we have tomorrow hopeful for some decent info.

you know that volta will not be here for another 6-8 months for anything higher than Ti perf ? but if you are interested in 1060-1080 replacement, you could pick one in Q3/Q4
wrong quote, corrected, it's beany's

I'm not looking for ti perf... I just need something to power a 144hz screen. Probably £400 price range. But that's not a hard cap. Just being sensible.
See, it will HAVE to be Ti performance minimum for me. Because my next upgrade is to 4K. So if it doesn't push 1080Thai performance then it's not going to end up in my RIG come Q4.
To be honest, from a tech and business standpoint it should be besting the Ti anyway. I mean, after all, it's releasing after the Ti. The 400/500 series card were specifically marketed as affordable. So never intended to beat the top Nvidia cards. But VEGA is marketed as the top end. So I can't seem them justifying it if it fails to be Nvidia with new tech AFTER nvidia launched their "rehash". I mean thats just undefendable to me.

AMD Radeon Vega spotted with 16GB memory and 1600 MHz clock

how would ppl who bought Ti and Titanxp feel, if their 1000$ GPUget outperformed in less than 6 months ? the last titanX pascal was outperformed by titan xp in about 8 months, and ppl still got angry, and here we are talking about a very small number of ppl who spent 1200$ for titan, imagine that for the much larger consumer base of Ti with lesser time frame.
why on earth would AMD care?

That's my card if it's real and not priced OTT.

No one should ever buy the Nvidia titans.
If they are after that level of performance it's far more sensible to ti to ti.

At 1600Mhz it means this card has 13.1 TFLOPS, compared to stock 1080Ti of 10.6 TFLOPs; which isn't bad. Although seeing 16GB HBM2 makes me think this might be an Instinct or Radeon Pro cards, not Radeon RX.
HBM2 is hella expensive, who knows though.
Well, if it is faster than 1080ti they should be able to price it higher anyway... Here's to hoping anyway...
The 1080 replacement will likely be faster than the 1080ti
Majority of Titan product stack purchasers will probably be content or want to replace it with the faster tech as they have that much disposable income in the first place-even the ones that grumble.
Imo you wouldn't purchase into Titan if you're concerned about the inescapable hit, that's why there are lesser gpu's available in the product stack.
If it was a dual GPU card it would list 128 CUs.
The last launched Radeon Pro Duo with HBM also listed 8192 Stream Processors with ( 128 CUs).
http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/radeon-pro-duo
This shows 64 CUs, and 4096 SPs, which indicated a single GPU card.

If its real then its the deep learning card I guess. It contradicts details released on HBCC, most probable for Rx is 8gb and 4gb versions. I wonder if they might only release 4gb to start, that'll be very controversial and require a lot of belief, testing from consumers
Nvidia is the top 6 results from google if I search for AMD deep learning lol
Shame someone at Liquid Sky haven't leaked anything about Vega yet. They've actually been powering their Cloud Gaming Streaming with Vega based Instinct cards for a while now.
They list 2, 4 and 8GB available services, but since AMD has introduced multi-user virtualized clients for GPUs, it could be splitting the VRAM and resources as needed per client.
