Well, the article is completely relevant because the technology with these PLX bridge chips is virtually the same. There is no Infinity Fabric connecting the Vegas.
This is HD 7990:

7990, don't remind me about that card. All the reviews virtually said the same thing it was such a quiet card. Yet the cards that went on sale were like hair dryers. It's Ike the review samples were all cherry picked low voltage cores which ran cool while the actual production run chucked any core into the card.
You forgot.to link to an article I think, but it doesn't matter.
I know how Vega X2 works because AMD published how it works. Exactly the same as all the duel GPU.
Stop looking for things that simply aren't there. For HPC workloads, crossfire work perfectly well. All this talk about multi-chip GPUs is just pipe dreams in the short term. AMD' chief Radeon engineer siad this won't happen any time soon. Don't listen to ridiculous YouTube videos from clueless AMD fanboys, just listen to what AmD says them sells, and what the actual published peer,-reviewed research papers from AMD and Nvidia are talking about.
A faulty card is hardy representative of how the majority of them went, in the case of 7990 it being hot and loud was the case for the majority as opposed to the cool and quiet review offerings.
Mine hit in the high 90c range constantly and peaked at over 100c on occasion.
Hardly a single card. Write in google "GTX 480 fail" to see how many results...
Nvidia’s Fermi GTX480 is broken and unfixable https://semiaccurate.com/2010/02/17/nvidias-fermigtx480-broken-and-unfixable/
I am sure that when AMD presses nVidia with superior architecture, nVidia will repeat these failures again.
You can also Google for "7990 hot" and see tons of hits on the subject. A stark contrast to most of the reviews that apparently reviewed something totally different to what went on sale.

Talking about hot..... 8600M was responsible for Apple having the Macbooks used it to burn at some point.
Nvidia supplied them GPUs that were out of the initial specs.
Also 7990 was a dual chip solution.
GTX480 was single chip.... The one that on the initial presentation was with the wooden screws....

Aye, but some years later many were saying the 480 was a good card. Reviewer release dodgy reviews and the NV haters see it as the bible yelling "it's rubbish, to hot, blah bla blah". Few years later a different view is formed by those who care little about all the AMD vs NV nonsense.
I owned a 480 and thought it was great. I don't care what x,y reviewer said when it was released. Half of the time they have their mind made up before even doing the review, probably
(and this goes for AMD reviews too I;m sure).i'll be surprised if AMD presses NV again on a superior architecture. I think times are a little different now. Would be welcomed of course, and who knows, but NV have massive amounts they can throw at R&D if they want to.

GTX480 is great card. On the other thread we going to use it for jerky.

Nvidia do this all the time when their new GPUs are on the horizon. They did it with Witcher 3 where Kepler was massively underperforming while Maxwell GPUs were getting stellar performance. Now that their new GPUs are releasing, Pascal is facing the chopping block. Once the 1180 releases it will steamroll the 1080ti and all previous gen nvidia cards and AMD as well. It's why I never buy older generation cards from Nvidia. AMD are better at supporting older cards than nvidia.

AMD skipping frames.
To be fair both systems i played this on it was far from smooth, random dips for no reason. I still don't get why they're basing performance on an alpha, its unoptimized to say the least.
That video looked far from 50-60FPS lol. Looked far more like 20FPS with stutters
+1
No idea why people getting all wet about results from some game that is not even in beta yet. lol.
Yes, it is severe stutterring. Who knows what runs in the background - by the way, the two sides of the screen are different - it isn't one and the same part of the game. WTH?
It is the nVidia graphics drivers. They do the mess and render the images wrong.
You can't say the game engine somehow recognises it is being run on a GeForce and intentionally makes the image go wrong.
It is highly possible nVidia doesn't have the know-how and patents for best image quality.
Hence, all these results:
For members who don't understand the images. This is a test with circles where the goal is ideal circle - any deviation means the graphics card renders the image with worse quality.

Is there any evidence of things not being draw on an Nvidia card in PUBG?
I'm considering switching out my GTX 980 SLI for my Fury X. Initially I was thinking if Nvidia are rendering everything maybe I'm missing something useful, although now I'm thinking I don't want to switch to AMD if it's going to draw more foliage or whatever that people could hide in.
