    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    We had a Spanish kid over on exchange back in 2007. The only thing he wanted was to get the last HP book on release at midnight. The town was absolutely heaving with kids, all under the age of sixteen running around, some dressed up all shouting with quite a few parents cursing the name JK...

    Did nVidia order Asus"? ...they made Asus and all the other AIBs an offer they couldn't refuse. So effectively yes nVidia did. So no choice for Asus.

    You see, right there, you're blaming one of the victims, AMD, for the injury [that will be] caused to them by nVidia's GPP. The lack of an AMD direct competitor to the 1080 ti does not mean that the rest of the AMD line up is not equal to or better than the nVidia equivalent. Nor does it...

    nVidia has already abonded sli for 1060 level gpu and lower. No collusion necessary ...one firm announces ...the other follows shortly after. As for gysnc ....I would have thought it possible for the cpu to 'detect' the monitor in use ...if gysnc ...then....

    Dell and HP Resist the NVIDIA GPP Leash - So Far

    Hmmmm ...AMD/Intel could quite legitimately 'abandon' SLI support and block the propreitry GSYNC in favour of the freely available industry standard of Freesync. That would get nVidia's attention. Such perfectly legitimate measures might be a quicker cheaper means of persuading nVidia to drop...

    Unfortunately for nVidia, AMD is 30% of the gpu market. And no company willingly throws away 30% of their sales. That would be just as daft as allowing a third party supplier company to dictate what you can and can't do with your own branded products.

    So ROG belongs to Asus. Hence ROG + Geforce ROG + Radeon However, if Asus sign up to nVidia GPP then there can only be ROG + Geforce. Now ....ROG belongs to nVidia! Is it really so hard to see why there is an issue with GPP?

    RX Series Cards Are All Sold Out, Why Isn't AMD Making More?

    If the amount sold = the amount produced then AMD = v.happy. Would AMD like to up production now? Of course but as others have said they would then risk being left with a shed load of excess stock if the mining craze dies before that extra production is sold. The mining craze basically...

    Vega Rumors

    From ATI to AMD back to ATI? A Journey in Futility @ [H]

    So in comparing Pro cards to Consumer versions the only optimisation Raja's talking about are driver optimisations? That's your interpritation, no fact. But let's suppose you're right. The only change from Pro to Consumer is the driver ...then RX Vega clocked at 1600 isn't going to be any slouch!

    From ATI to AMD back to ATI? A Journey in Futility @ [H]

    You were talking clocks. "less clocks". The Frontier Edition clocks at 1600. You stated RX Vega will be "at less clocks" compared to the Frontier. Raja stated RX Vega will be faster than Frontier.

    From ATI to AMD back to ATI? A Journey in Futility @ [H]

    I was responding to your assertion that "Frontier edition, will be the fastest compute output of all the Vega's. That puts gaming vega's at less clocks or are cut down versions (I think its the prior as they have shown those types of cards to public already)" So wind your patronising neck...

    Well if we're going to play at that sort of speculation... 1. I'd expect the leaks to start about now... 3 weeks out from a launch. 2. The best at deafening silence of late has been nVidia ...slipping out their full fat GP102 biggest bestest gpu to absolutely no fanfare whatsoever. For a gpu...
