Sadly they are fairly quiet, no official news about Navi and what market segments it will address.

there are folks on this forum Who can...

Apart from the issues with Nvidia on Linux the hardware engineers seems to have done a good job with this new architecture.

The problem lies...

[humbug]

AMD's next GPU in 2019 will be Navi, which is the final revision of the GCN architecture. Sadly it is rumored to not include high end parts at least in...

[humbug]

I don't think you understand what performance per watt is. Bad performance per watt would be poor efficiency. That means taking a lot of power and not...

[humbug]

Great card in terms of raw performance, so the engineer Have done their job. It's just that it's not worth buying cause Nvidia has priced it in another...

[humbug]

Cool, they probably figure open sourcing it will help out new devs to virtual reality.

I was talking about gcn 1.1 sea islands (CI)
not gcn 1.0 southern islands (SI)...

[humbug]

Being demanding, being tough and being able to reprimand people, having high standards are all fantastic traits.

However when it crosses...

[humbug]

Please use this kernel cycle to make amdgpu the default kernel driver for sea islands.

It's taken a very long time, need to simplify the...

[humbug]

Typically you are correct about AMD gpus.
But for gaming applications Vega turned out to be too little too late. They launched so much later than...

[humbug]

yes, ironic considering how AMD dominates Nvidia on windows in Vulkan applications. This was one area where AMD was not expected to fall behind (modern...

[humbug]

Yep I guess in previous years when Mesa was not up to date on openGL support there was a lot of low hanging fruit. Right now what I am waiting for is...

[humbug]

Hmmm Hawai (R9 290) seems to be underperforming vs the GTX 970 in Vulkan.
The opposite of what we see on windows.

[humbug]

Does Wayland still only support 60Hz refresh rate?

[humbug]

Only in some games like Rise of the Tomb Raider. I am not sure if it is the AMDGPU kernel component or the RadV Vulkan component which is not as well...

[humbug]

Mantle was like a POC, since it worked it evolved into an industry standard known as Vulkan....

[humbug]

Kinda scary how something so basic was neglected.

[humbug]

There are loads of people who still have sea islands GPUs which are fantastic 1080p GPUs. They get bewildered when they try to switch to Linux because...

[humbug]

I know question wasn't addressed at me but I haven't seen any recent evidence that Nvidia renders different image quality than AMD.

Admittedly...

[humbug]

Polaris on Linux seems to perform where you would expect it to relative to Nvidia's line-up. (comparing to Windows results)

Whereas Vega...
