Big Polaris or Big Pascal, which do you think will win the fastest GPU crown.

True, sorry about going OT.

I'm going with Pascal edging it, mainly because nVidia will pull out all the stops (inc driver cheats) to stay ahead

They must be worn out with the last couple of threads they ruined

I think this is a good thread and fun to have a guess and see who was closest when all is said and done

I hope they are equally fast. So they have to fight hard for customers to buy their product with discounted prices and excellent drivers.

WOW, as if there is not enough flame baiting and trolling already in this section. Thanks Kaap

AMD has to be faster, as mantle contribute a lot to DX12, they should have a 10% advantage on both stock / OC at least.

Farooq · 28 Jan 2016 at 10:32

I think it will change nvidea pascal will be fastest on release by a few percent say 5 but the RTG Polaris over time will be faster around 20 percent faster after mature drivers are released. Based on experience with previous GCN hardware that's our best most educated guess.

No baiting in this thread please.

All people have to do is make a prediction for a bit of fun.

It is actually harder to make a prediction than it is to make endless arguments like you see in some of the other threads.

So do you have a prediction please.

@Dons, please could you delete any off topic posts.

Ok, ok, I'll play

Polaris faster
20% stock
25% OCed

And on the board.

Deathjester · 28 Jan 2016 at 11:14

Pascal by about 10% stock and 8% OCed

I think Big Pascal will be around 14% faster and 27% OC

dazza13 · 28 Jan 2016 at 13:28

I think it will only be a few percent in it, so am going with polaris 4% stock and overclocked.

Troezar · 28 Jan 2016 at 13:40

Pascal 6% faster at stock
Polaris 10% faster overclocked

Logic being full fat Polaris out first giving Pascal something to beat at stock by the time Pascal is out the drivers may be more refined for Polaris allowing for higher overclocked figures.

Disclaimer, I probably have no idea what I'm talking about!

old gamer · 28 Jan 2016 at 13:51

im expecting history to repeat itself, nvidia slightly faster mabe 6-8% and a hefty price premium for it

MooMoo444 · 28 Jan 2016 at 14:05

amd faster by 10%

15% oc

jkb · 28 Jan 2016 at 14:05

pascal 3% faster at stock and 5% faster oc
