It competes with RTX2080 on normal benchmarks apparently, but if the 2080 enables DLSS then things get complicated because your now comparing a lower res image with advanced AI FSAA upscaled to 4k, against 4k native..
Hopefully AMD come up with some magic themselves to implement some sort of DLSS, if only for a 10-20% gain, surely a card with loads of FP16 compute capability can do it?
The one thing NVIDIA cards have over AMD is variety, lots of board partner variants, even MINI form factors for 2080 exist, and likely the TI soon. Plus not everyone here is keen to pay for 16GB HBM2 when very few games actually need it (if your even a gamer).

I figured SR IOV was very unlikely, but I hadn't spotted that the MI150 supports MxGPU - good call. At the very least it might mean that the Radeon VII might handle PCI resets properly without a hard reboot, unlike a lot of AMD's other consumer hardware.
I'm guessing that the VII will be less than sparkling against the RTX2080 overall, but if it does have SR-IOV that would be wonderful. Not holding my breath.

Originally posted by phoronix View PostThere is mainline support for the Radeon VII support on Linux baked into the latest components, but of course, especially with new hardware it's always recommended to be using the latest and greatest (ideally, Git master) versions of components for the best support and performance. On launch day I'll go into all of the Linux driver requirements/recommendations.

I'm dying to know if the Radeon VII supports SR-IOV, please let us know when the embargo lifts.

Very cool. The only reviewer I give a shit about, next to hairy Steve at Gamers Nexus.
