R9 Nano Review thread

I have asked them, if the performance is X in Physics there is no reason why the performance should be half on another run on the same engine.

It looks like they are using 8 threads on the Physics run but only 4 on the Physics + Graphics run, and thats BS..... if the engine is capable on running 8 threads for Physics then it should use 8 threads, it does not differentiate with Intel, as it shouldn't, nor should it with AMD.

You said that your cpu is forced to run on only 4 threads for the combined test, If someone uses an 8 core 5960x is that treated the same and if not what is causing them to be recognised and used differently for that particular part of the test?

Also what about hyperthreading , For example is a 4 core i7 using 4 or 8 threads for the final test? And watch that if it is the case it isn't also doing that with the 5960x if it does register as 8.

Even so I know it's not right but it does point to it not being a biased brand thing if that is the case. So is the 4 core i7 using 4 or 8 threads in the combined test, Is the 5960x using 4, 8 or even 16 in the combined test and if Intel's hyperthreading isn't used and the 5960x uses 8 threads when only 4 are used on the FX then yes something is wrong.

If you look here what you should see is on 8 thread Intel CPU's the combined score is very roughly around 80% as much as the Physics score.

On the AMD side its around 30% of the Physics scores.

Edit, no wait, lower end GPU's the differences increase.

however, look at this.

  1. Score 10573, GPU 970 @1501/1853, GFX Score 13396, Physics Score 8089, Combined Score 4988, CPU 4670k @4.0, CEUOTC, Post No.148 - Link Drivers 350.12
  2. Score 10525, GPU 980 @1400/1973, GFX Score 16000, Physics Score 8974, Combined Score 3183, CPU FX-8350 @4.515, EnjoyTroll, Post No.682 - Link Drivers 355.60

Yep, it really depends upon the gap between the components in question.

They're not impervious to bias. ;)

We know this as you already pointed it out, That isn't what I was asking, You said you thought your 8 core AMD cpu was being forced to run the combined test on only 4 of the 8 cores and it was treating the AMD cpu differently to Intel cpu's so I asked if it does the same thing to the 8 core 5960x and to make sure we didn't mistake the hyper threads for the 4 additional cores if it is using more than 4 threads on the Intel I asked whether it uses the hyperthreading feature.
I was asking this to determine if it is using less cores and if it is favouring Intel.

I don't know what its doing, if i did i would be able to answer my own question.
 
I may be idiotic here but is there not a way you could flash the Nano to be a fury? Put the Nano in water with the aqua computer waterblock and flash the card... Or is this strictly a power problem?
