The number of transistors on the two chips (RX 5700, RTX 2060) was taken into account. Approximately their ratio is 1:1....

f(x)=x and g(x)=x² have different shapes. A transformation needs to be performed in order to be able to compare f and g. In this case the correct transformation...

The melodrama was in most part your own doing.

If you have joint honours in Chemistry and Biochemistry (which I am unable to verify), then...

This is called trolling.

Do you have a university degree?...

It works like this: You (or somebody else) will have to suggest a better math expression with improved accuracy than the expression submitted by me, or...

Unfortunately, there isn't an established standard unambiguous method for translating transistor density (transistors per square millimeter (and soon:...

The distance of this seems to be about 1-3 years into the future when AMD/Nvidia replace the current generation RDNA/Turing GPUs with the next generation...

My experience with MSI Radeon RX 570 ARMOR in Linux:

Zero RPM does not work in Linux. By default the fans are rotating at about 1000 RPM...

One reason for not enabling it by default for all users is that passing "radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 amdgpu.dpm=1 amdgpu.dc=1"...

It seems you are comparing previous generation higher-end card (R9 390, launch price 329 USD) with current generation mid-range card (RX 570, launch price...

[atomsymbol]

In my opinion, for example network card drivers should be written in an operating system agnostic way, so that network card drivers written on Linux work...

There are version numbers for "Unified Video Decoder" and "Video Compression Engine" on the mentioned pages....

In my experience, RX 570 is about 10% faster than R9 390 in games. But I would need to redo benchmarks to get more accurate numbers....

For example, https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-spec...n-r9-390.c2664 vs https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-570.c2939 can be used to determine...

[atomsymbol]

Comparison between RX 570 and R9 390 might be interesting because the theoretical FP32 performance in both cases is about 5 TFLOPS. RX 570 has a newer...

Does radeonsi_enable_nir=true require the user to manually clear the shader cache for the NIR IR to take effect?

[atomsymbol]

... it seems (rumours) that AMD is going to release RX 5600 in a few months, which (if the rumours about its specifications are true) is going to be ...

Measured. But it is a particular shared C++ library, other shared libraries might have different gdb initialization performance....

Vulkan updates of some games (such as Shadow of Mordor and Mad Max) generally perform better than the original OpenGL versions. RX 480/580 (+ACO) can...
