Who cares if you get 190 or 185 fps in a game the difference really isnt big just buy the cheaper one
YOU HAVE BUG EYES! *They’re destroying the whole town!*
Ima wait for the 1150 cuz I’m poor
So Vega is better for mining than for gaming…
Mine. All of them :3
2:23 Did that chart say that Vega 56 uses GDDR5?
NVIDIA FAN BOYS ARE BAD FOR THE MARKET. Buying Amd is better for the consumer, Amd offer similar or better performance for the money but fanboyism means Nvidia will almost always have a higher market share, if you want better gpus and better prices buy Amd if it is better or similar
Noone saw what AMD did for the high power draw:
1. FRTC – Frame Rate Target Control
It allows you to cap the frames for your gaming purpose so that less load and power is drawn from the card
2. Radeon Chill
It will decrease framerate in non intensive parts effectively reducing power draw and GPU load
Amd’s Red
Roses are Red đš
Violets are Red đš
Lilies are Red đš Something’s wrong here…
MY GARDEN’S ARE ON FIRE!!!
HOT yes, performance and power usage NOT.
Sorry AMD, the Vega is shit and that comes from someone who has a Ryzen.
The stupid Radeon packs its Amd giving the middle finger to its own fans as no miner will ever put such power hungry cards on any mining rig cause at the end of the month they won’t have money to pay even the power bill, so I feel sorry that the most hard core AMD fans have to pay the price for AMD failures!
Guys we got to remember that this was a more of a prototype card, I feel that amd will listen to the complaints and release a new card with less power draw. These where the first cards, not the last, or maybe I’m completely wrong idk
I’m waiting for Volta to upgrade from my 980Ti and I’ll get an AMD variant for computational work. I support both GPU manufacturers; you? đ¤
The Snapdragon 810 of AMD
Can I run Synergy on that AMD Vega GPUs?
I have bug eyes. Excuse me I have a town to destroy.
I have freesync monitor… and gtx1070… will upgrade to 1080ti đ
5:29 ?
These coolers are complete shit… Your benchmarks are worth nothing
*When i die, i want AMD to lower me into my grave, so i can be let down one last time*
I’d just like to point out that the support for free drivers is much better on AMD graphics cards than Nvidia GPUs, resulting in few times higher performance on AMD video cards than the similarly priced Nvidia cards (with free drivers).
