NVIDIA's Next-Generation "Ampere" GPUs Could Have 18 TeraFLOPs of Compute Performance

Listen. I understand you have problems with ego and attitude. You are so "smart" you don't know which way is up. If you don't get it believe me nobody will explain nor try to convince you. I don't care about last year. AMD doesn't either. Mistake would be to release a card that is not up for the task and that is why you didn't get it last year. Simple?

why should it be not up for the task though ?

How the hell am I supposed to know that? Do you see a new AMD card? No. Conclusions why it hasn't been released? Maybe you have facts please share.

but that's what I'm talking about since the beginning.
if they had one in the making and it was good,we would have got it already.

they had 7nm on bigger cards since radeon 7,new architecture,new memory in good supply.there's nothing preventing them.they just have nothing going on and try to feed us the usual weak cliches.

OMG. I can't believe we are agreeing on something. yes. That is what I think as well. If AMD had one they would have released it. Maybe they had one but decided not too. remember Radeon 7 right. Was that a good card? Yes as a workstation. For gaming (as high end) it was meh. I'm 100% sure AMD tried to make a big navi with RDNA and maybe AMD manufactured one but decided not to release to avoid (maybe) radeon VII's mistake or simply it was not ready or up for the task(task meaning compete on a satisfying lvl with NV cards). It was expensive with all the HBM2 memory and stuff.

If they have or not, is your guess. We will see in time. It was said 2020 new card. Lets see what AMD has up its sleeves.

well it was marketed as gaming too

AMD Surprises At CES 2019

The last time that AMD took the big stage in Las Vegas was back in 2002, Patrick Moorhead was excited to see what CEO Lisa Su had up her sleeves to commemorate the company’s return to the big stage.

it was a good card imo,just sucks they didn't allow aib versions and e.g. a cheaper 12gb version

Yes it was marketed as that but come on. You and I know better. Derivative from a workstations graphics just to have something to compete with NV. Now, the 5700xt is trading blows with R7 in some games.
For gaming, It wasn't that great considering the price you had to pay for it. I was going for one but at the last time I decided not to buy it. Went Vega 64.

for 4k ?

 

[ratirt]

for 4k ?

I play 4k with Vega 64. Well not all games can run 4k 60FPS but there are titles that Vega can handle no problem. Unless you are asking about something else?

 

[cucker tarlson]

I ditched gtx1080 for 1440p cause it was starting to lack performance in some scenarios

I switch to 1440p in some games as well. Divinity2 original sin is one of them. I'm getting a new GPU for sure but I need to wait a bit longer. Besides, I play less and less now. Got 2 other babies to take care of. My threadrippers 3970X. Been racking my brain with what else needs to improved and since this is new stuff, it is hard to find parts that are up my alley.

You specs says 2070S. That should be OK with a large number of games games running 4k?

no idea,was never interested in 4k gaming.
once I'm at 1440p on a desktop monitor I wanna get into higher settings not more pixels.

Well if I can't go 4k max or at least high settings, I dial down to 1440p.
I like 4k maxed out. It looks great.

I prefer 1440p on a 24" screen,looks sharp as hell and it's pretty easy to get tremendous framerates on a 1080Ti/2070S class card

Oh, so you are one of those high refresh rate dudes? I'm more 4k dude.

maybe lets get back to the topic.

4k on a desktop screen is a gimmick imo,huge performance hit for little tangible returns.
would rather have better shadows for example.
the games are getting prettier but the prettier they get,the more they expose how traditional shadows and light just fall more and more behind the curve.

Well, I've got very good eyes and I really do see the difference. It was a love from the first sight with 4k for me. What can I tell you. 4k for me please.

 

[cucker tarlson]

I do too.the fact that I see it doesn't mean I need it or want it.
Enough to see the returns from going 4k on a desktop screen provides laugably low returns in comaprison to the performance hit,which is usually getting your fps havled vs 1440p
40 fps at 4k or 80 fps at 1440p ? no contest for me.

Like I said. If 4k is a no go for my card I will dial down the resolution. despite the FPS impact, I like the way 4k looks and I want to play with this resolution. Lets say that is my goal for 2020 with a new GPU.

to play at 60 ? gonna need a lot.
2x V64 for sure unless you'll be getting a new card for the games you alreay have only.Then you might only need something 40% faster like 2080.
Games are getting prettier but more demanding at the same timme too.A 2016 card like gtx1080 is barely enough for 1440p these days.

Yes but you are talking about the newest games. The top notch of the performance eaters. 2x Vega 64. You know that is not much of an option. Never been a huge fan of Xfire or SLI. I will wait and get a decent GPU sooner or later.

I mean single card with 2x vega 64 pefrormance like 2080Ti

Yes exactly. That is why I'm going to wait

for amd card to match 2080Ti ? 2021.

 

[ratirt]

We had that conversation. Something is coming 2020 I can afford to wait. If it turns out not so good I can go other vendors.

 

[cucker tarlson]

Something is coming 2020

rdna1 refresh
lisa su said it herself

is it gonna disrupt 4k gaming ? for someone who's still on vega for 4k yes.
