    Navi Rumors

    The PCB is likely an ES/dev board. Dev 2080 had 2x8-pin & 2080ti 3x8-pin. It also appears that the chip pad area is larger than TU104. Power draw is any one's guess. Depends on whether they aimed for high transistor density -> more dies/wafer -> lower price. Edit: Correction.

    Real-Time Ray Tracing Support Comes to GeForce GTX GPUs and Game Engines

    Marketing slides aside, RT cores are only a dedicated pipeline in the SM with optimized alus/logic & register space/local cache for ray/tris intersection/BVH traversal in parallel with shader ops. The question is, more general purpose "shaders" or additional customized "shaders" at the expense...

    2060 vs 1660ti what's the catch?

    Perhaps it's really the long lost GV106 with 192 tensor cores for that glorious DLSS downscaling...

    Are cheaper cards more prone to coil whine, looking at two diff 2070's.

    There are a number of factors at play with SMPS, but interestingly a key contributor for ripple induced coil whine is the size/value/quality of the primary filtering cap. High quality, adequately specced hold up caps are $$...

    Radeon 7 (Vega 2, 7nm, 16GB) - $699 available Feb 7th with 3 games

    Has AMD had much choice since Hawaii? The die was cast with GCN 1.0 uarch wise. Nothing wrong with their bet on resource/die size/allocation tradeoff, they just weren't able to financially sustain development. Esp given perf/watt issues cf paxwell. NV bet on SFU at the cost of silicon area...

    3dfx Voodoo 5 6000

    They look Teapo, but may be GSC or Choyo. They're already dead. If the board POSTs, recap with suitable low ESR types.

    Report: Is nVidia's Volta architecture broken for precision math?

    The issue may be related to silicon lottery variation, not HMB2 as such. Some boards are OK, others exhibit greater variability. Tensor workflow won't suffer given reduced precision & accumulate.

    Guys let's support AMD gpu, and boycott Nvidia, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI

    As it stands now, no. In this example Nvidia has now co-opted ROG for itself. There will be no ROG sub-brands for other IHVs. Asus development of ROG branding is constrained. They can develop a new brand or not brand or use the ASRock relationship for AMD "Gaming" cards - they've chosed the...
