Very well said. These characters are found doing the same crap in any AMD thread both here and at anandtech forums.

You might want to say that GF 7LP is a turd without any proof but I think GF has improved its execution vastly over the 14nm node where they had to license Samsung 14LPP node after they failed to deliver their in-house 14XM node. The IBM semiconductor acquisition has provided GF the talent and...

AMD is off to a decent start in their goal to re-enter the datacenter and high performance computing market. I think AMD will have moderate success with Zen and EPYC. AMD has said they expect to get to 10% server market share in 2019. My opinion is thats a conservative estimate and feel AMD...

Nothing will stop juanrga from posting the non stop nonsense he has been spamming all the internet forums with. He will ignore any benchmark which does not suit his narrative. We are already seeing high speed DDR4 3200 allow Ryzen to reduce the gap vs 7700k in games. But he will still post...

Very true.

You have to have something constant to compare two different graphs. In the pcper bench 7700k at 3.5 Ghz shows itself to be 10% faster than the Ryzen at 3.5 Ghz. In the anandtech bench the 6700k which uses the same Skylake core and is pretty much the same chip is 22% faster than 2600k Sandy at 3...

very true. lesser said about that person. the better it is. AMD needs a better process to hit higher clocks. Its disappointing that the first gen Zen max out at 4 - 4.1 Ghz. I think we will see some custom tweaks to 14LPP to allow much higher frequency. I am thinking Zen 2 based Pinnacle Ridge...

Dude don't spread misinformation. The Skylake 4C with GT2 is 122 sq mm . http://www.anandtech.com/show/9505/skylake-cpu-package-analysis AMD's experience with dense designs like Carrizo has proved very useful. Keller said Zen is a high frequency design and dense design. Both of which have...

I don't think you can easily say he did not know. This person ran a company which specialized in developing cutting edge game engines and games. id software was a major game engine licensing powerhouse in the 1990s and early 2000s. The Doom, Quake, Quake 2 and Quake 3 engines were widely used by...

sorry but Carmack was a Zenimax employee the minute he sold id software to Zenimax back in 2009. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2009/06/bethesda-softworks-parent-zenimax-media-acquires-id-software/ Whatever Carmack develops as an employee of Zenimax at Zenimax offices using their...

GTX 1060 is no more unequivocally faster in DX11 as recent reviews point out http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/73945-gtx-1060-vs-rx-480-updated-review-23.html Recent AAA games like COD Infinite Warfare , Titanfall2 have allowed Rx 480 to pretty much close the gap...

I quoted GameGPU too in my earlier post. I also did post two other reviews. Joker's 2016 games and Hardwareunboxed. What we can conclude from these reviews is the GTX 1060 and Rx 480 are dead close and well within 1-2% avg . Joker's and hardwareunboxed showed the Rx 480 edging ahead while...

dude there is no Gameworks like black box code in AMD Gaming Evolved titles specifically designed to harm the competition. DX12 by nature puts a lot more control in the hands of the developer and it surely makes their work more challenging if I might say. Nvidia and AMD with their DX11 drivers...

Oh if thats the issue then 4 out of the 7 games tested by hardocp are Gameworks titles. Lets not get into those silly arguments. Nvidia TWIMTBP and Gameworks is considered one of its strengths and here you are arguing about AMD pushing for more Gaming Evolved titles. a 1.5% lead. dude thats...

I think hardocp needs to keep their game suite updated with the latest games to keep their reviews relevant. Games like Fallout 4 and Witcher are way too old and newer games like Hitman, Division , Rise of the Tomb Raider have been removed from your suite while retaining older and less...

With rumours of Intel 10nm Cannonlake being delayed to mid 2018 and that too only for ultra low power and Coffee Lake 14 nm being confirmed for 2018 for desktops and notebooks we are going to see 10nm for desktops in 2019 . We are probably going to see the next big architectural improvement...

Kyle and Brent Why do newer games like The Division get removed from your game test suite while older and less graphically impressive ones like Fallout 4 still continue to remain. btw Division also saw a DX12 patch which shows a nice bump in performance for a few cards like GTX...

I think AMD's Polaris product stack is hurting because of a poor GF 14LPP implementation of Samsung's 14LPP. The fact that AMD is pumping a lot more voltage to qualify as many Rx 480 chips as possible is a good indicator. Undervolting ref Rx 480 cards leads to better performance as there is...

The recent increase in RoTR was due to the 16.7.3 drivers. Review: Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro 4GB and 8GB OC - Graphics - HEXUS.net - Page 10 The Rx 480 Nitro OC in OC mode is 8% faster than ref Rx 480 but at a significant power increase. The GF 14LPP process is holding back Polaris and a...

Your analogy is horrible. AMD implements tesselation according to DX11 spec. AMD cards perform well with tesselation unless you go for obscene tesselation with zero or negligible image quality gain. Remember Crysis 2 Crysis 2 tessellation: too much of a good thing? or the Witcher 3 Hairworks...

I think you are completely wrong here. AMD cards consistently gain perf when comparing DX12 vs DX11 perf in all games which support DX12. In the price segment that Rx 480 launched AMD wins the majority of the DX12 games currently released by a significant margin. Its a thrashing to current...

Good - DX12 performance and perf/$. Bad - Power consumption and perf/watt. Ugly - crappy reference cooler, loud noise even at stock clocks, PCI-E power overdraw, significant variance among even review samples with few unable to hit advertised 1266 Mhz boost clock in games, power usage rocketing...

Exactly. But they ended up looking downright stupid. AMD find new ways to mess up a new product launch. I have never seen a company screw up so many times and in so many different ways.

AMD have a serious problem as the 6 pin Rx 480 could be deemed as non PCI-E compliant which would rule it out of any OEM system.

The bigger risk is that AMD cannot stop bleeding money due to uncompetitive products and end up filing for bankruptcy. I hope that does not happen but given the current state of their products it could happen. I think with Pascal and Polaris we are beginning to see the effects of a dominant cash...

Polaris is a massive perf/watt failure. Mid-range Pascal GP106 will run all over Polaris in efficiency. My apologies to Kyle for being rude towards his earlier statements on Polaris inefficiency. AMD has got into the habit of overhyping and underdelivering. Nvidia already had the architectural...

We will see in time if Polaris 10 is a 48CU chip. btw nobody releases a board with just enough power for a GPU. 8 pin + 6 pin + PCI-E = 300w HD 7970 / HD 7970 Ghz R9 290X / R9 290 GTX Titan / GTX 780Ti GTX Titan X / GTX 980 Ti 6 pin + 6 pin + PCI-E = 225w HD 7950 / R9 280 R9 380X GTX 980 /...

Sorry I would not applaud any opinions on actual hardware without real world testing and factual data even if it was a Nvidia GPU. Why don't you wait for Rx 480 perf and perf/watt comparisons from various sites before judging the card. Secondly we don't know for sure if Rx 480 is the full...

So you think the rubbish he wrote about Polaris being hotter and slower than the competition and about RTG sale was all perfectly professional. A professional person would wait for the product to launch and review it objectively and give his opinions based on factual data and not rumour...

The problem with Kyle is his ego and his emotions. He is not a professional. His articles on not being invited to AMD's Polaris Tech day were really cheap stuff. Now hardocp is getting a review sample inspite of the rubbish he wrote. That shows AMD is still treating him and hardocp...

AMD said in their Q1 2016 earnings call that Polaris was aimed at mainstream segments. http://seekingalpha.com/article/3967192-advanced-micro-devices-amd-lisa-t-su-q1-2016-results-earnings-call-transcript?part=single " We're optimistic about the second half of the year, and we think Polaris is...

When a person who is running a tech website writes something for which he has nothing to back his statements that is a problem. The RTG sale thing was pure rubbish. I have not seen anybody write such drivel in a long time. Now comes this thing of 8k units for US without any facts to back it. Do...

Shall we wait till launch day and actual reviews before we again jump to speculations. Anyway custom Rx 480 cards also seem to be coming in July. So we will get a good idea pretty soon.

You mean only people who agree with him and kind of cheer him on should post here. He is running a tech website and writing some rubbish. Obviously he will get flak for it.

There are many leaks. We have to wait for launch day reviews to see which of them are true. AMD RX 480 Overclocked To 1.6Ghz+, Cooler Tear Down & Production Line Photos Leaked Here is a leak showing 1.6 Ghz on Rx 480

Kyle is just bluffing without any facts to back his statements. Where did he get that 8000 number from ? He surely did not get it from AMD. So did he do a survey of all the retailers in the US who sell graphics cards and asked them on their launch day stock. Did he speak to all of AMD AIBs and...

Its pathetic that Kyle has stooped to this level. Maybe he has a lot of time to kill now that AMD is not likely to sample him with a Rx 480 for launch day review. He does not have any facts to back up his 8000 number. Anyway gibbo of ocuk states ample supply. Radeon RX 480 "Polaris" Launched...

Kyle shows how to whine when you don't get invited to a AMD event. If Kyle is a professional he should stick to reviewing PC hardware (Intel/AMD/Nvidia) and not writing such rubbish. There are only 2 ways this can go - Kyle is right and AMD has a problem or he is horribly wrong and will have...

kudos to hardocp for calling out a paper launch. imo hardocp leaned a bit too much towards Nvidia for a year and a half during the Maxwell generation. So its refreshing to see their attitude. It takes guts to call out a dominant company like Nvidia.
