Mysterious GPU Benchmarked in AOtS - Possible Upcoming AMD Graphics Card

none of those are good modern options for a new rig. The fury x only has 4GB of RAM, which is not going to be enough for 1440p ultra, not to mention 4k, which is where the fury x does best. The pro duo and 295x2 are dual GPU solutions, not single cards, and suffer from all the disadvantages of dual cards. Given that modern games rarely support proper dual gpus properly, I'd never recommend those cards. And they are also VRAM limited, specifically the 295x2. Not to mention how much more power they need and heat they put out compared to pascal.

Also, the pro duo cost more then a titan pascal, which will walk all over it most of the time at 4k, and has three times the VRAM. the few times you can find a 295x2, it cost $100 more then a 1070 that will be far more consistent in performance then a 295x2. without crossfire, the 295x2 cant touch the 1070, nevertheless a 1080.

DualGPU should NEVER be a stand in for a proper high end solution. AMD has nothing to directly compete against the 1070 and 1080, and nvidia's revenue shows that. AMD needs to get a full proper 1070 competitor, and a 1080 competitor, out soon.


I am currently using a Fury X and it is over qualified for 1440p, hell i get 45 FPS in 4k on notoriously poorly coded for AMD game, "The Division". HBM isnt GDDR5 so you cvan lift that cap a lil .. 4GB of HBM is closer to 7GB of GDDR5 .....
 
So they are testing with an Intel i7 ? Shouldn't they be using an X370 with an SR7 Zen platform? Unless the i7 used is equivalent performance wise to the top Zen cpu.... If that's the case... I'll be reverting back to AMD for my next build.
 
I think its just some random benchmark reviewer with ES sample leaking stuff..
 
Except for that whole R9 290, and R9 390... and then logically, RX 490. Both previous cards were single chip.

And the 480 die is a little 'small' to be building a dual GPU card from.
 
crazy present 1080p it gets just 38fps? Seems low..

Well, I tested newest DLC AOtS with 980ti factory oc 1420mhz and got 52fps at crazy preset 1080p dx12.

The OP results are also using an earlier version of the "game".

We all know it's a bought and paid for AMD title, so the results aren't great if it is indeed so unreleased AMD card.
 
Regardless, the 1080 levelling result is, as stated i AotS with DX12, so it says little about DX11 performance. If this was Vega and it only matches 1080 in AotS at DX12, AMD have some problems unless the price it lower than 1080 but some sites have suggested comparable pricing to 1080....

AotS is no longer a game where AMD holds an advantage in DX12. Take a look at this performance chart from Guru3D:

Well it is specified as 490 being a single ( if that was a 490 as the leaked benchmark of AMD's card shows) GPU. Would it be possible to be a revised version and improved Polaris? To speculate: AMD didn't mention anything of releasing 490 Polaris improvements. If so that would mean that if they got Vega tested maybe they have change the strategy a bit knowing that Vega is way faster than previously expected? I'd like to see full spec of that mysterious card of AMD's :) and final release which may vary from engineering sample.

That slide still shows AMD beating NV in comparable cards EX: Fury X still boxing it out with a 1070 .. and no a 460 and a 1050 TI are not comparable the TI is a tweener card .. However, a 465 would be
