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

Pascal faster by a small margin on release but worse value.

A year later Polaris will have pulled ahead in performance of that chip but AMD will have lost another chunk of market share already so hardly anyone will care.
 
tbh I'm just going to say polaris 5% faster stock, 10% faster overclocked.

I'm hoping for more but don't expect massive difference sadly. Got to agree with others though, there's not much detail atm so it's just a completely wild guess lol.

You're talking about TSMC 16nm FF vanilla (not '+') and Samsung 14nm FF LPE. With a sample size of one chip (current iphone Ax chip).

The only comparison of + and LPP you might be able to do is on Apple's next gen Ax, IF they use + for TSMC. No other chip is likely to be produced on both in the forseeable future.

I highly doubt + is more efficient than LPP as it's designed to be compatible with true high power chips. Samsung's legit HP 14nm probably won't arrive until '17 (possibly a reason for enterprise Zen not turning up for some time after desktop FX?).

Its gonna be pretty much the case though until well into 2017 - was wondering who'd have their fingers on the pulse enough to catch that one.
 
Take it this is on windows Kaap :p

Tbh I think it will be game dependant when all said and done, even with DX12.

So I will say pretty much even between the pair, as for how much compared to today.

10%
 
Times have changed there will no longer be a single GPU crown for fastest graphics.
For rasterization graphics I bet Pascal 1st place followed by Polaris 2nd. But that won’t hold for other types of graphics or GPU work. Pascal & Polaris wont be fastest for all graphics.
 
Not going to add my thoughts on % stats,as already covered by others,but who are the jokers? Polaris faster? :P. I think roles can be reversed and maybe Nvidia have a lot happening (other than PC graphics) but I still think they will be controlling the next gen performance wise. If AMD do come out on top it wont be for long me thinks.

I can't possibly predict which will be the fastest due to lack of technical details.

Could this be the most pointless thread ever ?

Probably, but Kaap did say it was just for fun.....so lets keep it that way :D
 
Since it's just for fun I'd guess that at stock big Pascal will be about 10% faster with big Polaris taking the lead when overclocked by around 3% :)

AMD mostly did a refresh last time around and the Fury Line looks like it was a test case HBM. Valuable info which Nvidia don't have.

I think they may have been pulling a Mercedes (F1) by putting out something which will get them through the year, but focusing most resources on the new stuff.

I think Polaris will be 15% faster and a similar OC. I expect Nvidia to be more aggressive with Gameworks if this is the case which will close the gap unless AMD go nuts on tessellation.

I'm fairly sure Nvidia would have studied the HBM cards closely and their stats to help them in the future or if not then they would have been doing their own research with HBM.

F1 teams arent able to buy the cars from the competitors to inspect closely or get third parties to benchmark etc.

I think if Nvidia are surprised by AMD offerings they'll just throw more money at it to produce something even better. THey have deeper pockets which helps a lot.

If history is anything to go by, pascal will be about 7% faster than polarised (and about 50% more expensive). Overclocked I'll say they will close the gap and will say pascal faster by 2%.

Those are my guesses.
