    Still no sign of NAVI support in ROCm. You gotta be kidding!!!

      RDNA2, so this is for CAD and such then and not compute I guess

        No mention of FP64 rates here or at AMD.com. So if FP16 rate is up to 35 Tflops, and FP32 is up to 17 Tflops, the only logical conclusion is that FP64 rate is ... 1 Tflops. You know, the same as a 10yo HD7970. Because why would you want fast FP64 on a $2300 accelerator card?

        Just guessing.

          I've though the only logical conclusion is fp64 = fp32 / 2 -> fp64 = 8.5Tflops.

            Those pro cards are using the opensource OpenGL driver already, or are still relying on the old proprietary ones?

              Logical conclusions usually aren't. If W6800 PRO had appreciable FP64 you can be sure AMD would have said so.

              If you need reasonable-cost FP64, hold out for a Radeon VII -- that's "out", not "your breath."

                Shit, it looks like from AMD site that the fp64 = fp32 /2 is no true at all. However I would bet it was true at least in the past...

                No, I don't need fp64 workhorse, I just need some 2D display for 3-4 monitors and that's all... So basically W3200 is fine for me.

                  wish they'd announce the actual availability of their cards to mere mortals

                    For CAD and content creation. Both of which use compute these days.
