AMD "Polaris" Based Graphics Card Display Connector Layout Pictured
At its Capsacin event, AMD demoed one of the first DirectX 12 AAA games, Hitman (2016), on a machine running its next-generation GPU. This GPU is based on its "Polaris" architecture, and while the press got no specs to take home, they did catch a glimpse of the card's rear I/O panel. The display connector layout is unlike anything AMD has at the moment, on its reference-design cards, and looks similar to what NVIDIA offers on some of its high-end graphics cards.
The connector layout sees four connectors on the first slot (same level as the card's PCB), which includes three DisplayPorts and one HDMI port; and one DVI connector on the second slot, with an air-vent next to it. The "Polaris" architecture supports DisplayPort 1.3 and HDMI 2.0a standards. DisplayPort 1.3 serves up enough bandwidth for 5K (5120 x 2880 pixels) at 60 Hz, 4K-HDR (3840 x 2160 with HDR) at 60 Hz, or 4K-SDR at 120 Hz. The SFF desktop setup running this card was able to render Hitman with Ultra settings and 2560x1440 pixels resolution, over 60 fps.

Oh yeah, first page.
Also, found the SJW.
Also also, way to ignore my actual post and not the friendly jab. I for one appreciate the number of displays made with HDMI 2.0 and DP that support the new features fully, instead of half assed attempts.
Yeah and Im sure I can find a picture of WW2 where someone is doing the Hitler Salute, does not mean it has any place or class to post it here now does it?
How does a google search/find of anything justify the usage of it? you could post anything then and claim its ok because you found it on google....Im sure even you see how that makes no sense whatsoever.
News item not news.
Display connectors on engineering sample - exactly that.
As Steevo said, knickers need not be twisted.
As I said, this thread has not been saved.....
Floppy cables all over the place!
Amd is. Such a polarizing topic...
I dunno, the whole naming scheme from AMD lately reminds me of death..... Bulldozer wrecking everything, pile driver shoving it all into the ground. Now, its Capzasin, to soothe my arthritic joints after all this work of burying AMD.
Sorry AMD.... :cry:
And no D-sub? Grandma's gonna have to get a new monitor soon, lol......
Oh shit! Steevo is here guys, abandon ship! The only guy on the internet that I suspect may be older than me.... :lovetpu:
On the plus side DP>VGA adaptors are quite cheap now.
The S3 card renders the basic scene, the VGA output from it is connected to the VGA input on the first Voodoo 3D accelerator which then overlays the 3D accelerated effects, the output from the first Voodoo is then connected to the monitor for display and the second Voodoo connects to the first via a FDD cable.
Kids today with their connectorless crossfire... :pWhat the hell does the MiG-15 Fagot have to do with this thread? the USSR has no interest in hijacking GPU discussions.
Taking into consideration that this is a prototype board I assume the DVI connector was added for convenience. I bet the retail cards will just ship with a passive adapter
In the ATX world, cables rarely had the B port so the twist was gone.
But, without having a real SLI cable, you where able to twist one or two wires on a FDD cable, and use it as a genuine SLI cable for your 3DFX cards. :)
Floppy disks are retarted lol. They would often fail, they where limited, and they where magnetic storages based floppy's which needed solid enclosing in for example floppy-boxes to keep them protected.
