Moving the goalposts to V100 now?
Considering features, it is obsolete once Vega releases. That binding model will be a real PITA for Pascal and any further use if async will only make the situation worse.
I'm expecting a few titles patched with FP16 in shirt order, but really need the new shader model to release for that. Then PC has the full console feature set. Seems all games will be using primitive shaders on Vega, just without the heavily modified paths. Per game optimizations would be possible on existing titles.
Latest Linux drivers have even Fiji ahead of 1080 and actually beating 1080ti in one test. Civ6 eats CPU though. Still a lot of work there, but AMD did create a new unified driver stack for supporting multiple operating systems so it's taking a while. More than just Win, Linux, and MacOS.
Probably mining, but considering Fiji performance with latest git Vega may very well be ahead in gaming on several titles.
May be a way to encourage bundles and make more off mining. MSRP could increase, but won't necessarily apply to bundle prices or rebates if they go that route.
dude your last statement says it all..... miners.................
can I give something, and you can tell RYS this too..... AMD IS FUCKED with Vega. Yeah tell em this and tell him and his new masters shouldn't do a sonata to Vega.
