AMD Officially but Silently Downgrades Radeon RX 560 with an 896 SP Variant

[EarthDog]

they are the same US version doesn't include D

And there is the crux of the situation... will the US see the "D"? So far it doesn't appear to be so. Hopefully AMD corrects their botched entry and the AIBs get on board.

the MSI RX 560 AERO ITX OC
is OC'd to 1196 Boost when the base clock for real 560 is 1175 and 1275 boost

i see msi fooled everyone but me, and HIS and everyone else lol

 

[Vya Domus]

my point is Specs, Device ID with Revision ID is 560D
its a 560D

You better read again the whole thread carefully because my whole point was that these cards are in fact 560D and all of these manufacturers failed to market them properly outside of Asia so you didn't know that it was in fact a 560 that you were buying.

Pay more attention to what is being discussed before you start calling me a 'noob' because off to the ignore list you'll go.

Ignore me all you want, you said 3 manufacturers has a 560D... 7 do... name or not

"virtually no manufacturer made a 560D"

I'm not even going to bother deciphering whatever you tried to say with that but it's clear to me you jumped into the discussion while having absolutely no idea what is going on.

"virtually no manufacturer made a 560D"

Never said that , what I did say is that they didn't used the proper name for them. Wow mate , I thought it was just a misunderstanding but your reading comprehension really is atrocious. Either that or you're trying to troll me , regardless I wasted enough time talking to you.

Nobody cares about your nerdy DB entries. The real fact of it is that US manufacturers aren't adding the D because AMD hasn't distinguished between the two in their specifications. Even if there is a different device ID, the consumer will have no idea what version they are getting, with 896 or 1024 shaders. At least Nvidia lets you know explicitly that the 1060 3GB will be cut down, and the 1060 6GB has the full shader complement.

Here's an Amazon search for your mythic 560D:
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_...ords=RX+560D&rh=i:aps,k:RX+560D&tag=tec06d-20

Here's one for 560. Can you tell me which ones have 896 shaders and which ones have 1024? If not, then blame AMD who is shipping these different cuts of chips to the manufacturers, all as "560"

May it be a simple error or miscommunication, all the ones that quickly jump to the hate wagon on AMD is a sad statement of the community.

At least ASUS does show how many shaders the card has so u know what to look for, MSI being shady doesnt say anything about sp's on their web.

ASUS RX560 1024 sp
ASUS RX560 "EVO" 896 sp

EDIT: Also considering how easy is to return a card if not the desired one, is just silly how much complaining is going on here

 

[EarthDog]

Entirely possible it is a mistake. If it was, I would expect to hear from them soon and the specs page updated...

But, where does ASUS discern the SPs? I don't see it on the box... You have to dig down to the specs on the webpage, no?

EDIT: Yeah, also a good point, I mean, good thing we can return it when we get ripped off by AMD and its AIBs for whatever reason we are getting ripped off. (that was sarcastic, btw). The point isn't about the ability to easily return (awwwww shucks, they got me, derp), but the fact that there is misleading information out there.

Anyway, if it really was a mistake, why hasn't AMD come out and said hey, MSI/ASUS/Whomever, its a 560D... please update? These cards have been out for a few months... its not like they are new and this is the first time they are seeing it. Clearly it looks bad as is, so I really do not understand why a statement hasn't been made, at least to AIBs, and the offending misinformation updated over these lasts months.

Well it is easy but it wont matter if you don't know about it. People don't pay attention to these details they just see the numbers in the name.

EDIT : Weird how we are concerned about the people who aren't tech savvy when these things don't affect us at all.

Asus ones are named RX560 EVO (896sp), non EVO versions are 1024sp, took me 2 minutes to find out....

Ok, I will take the time to look where you are seeing this again.......I appreciate you taking the time to link what you are seeing.

Newegg - It doesn't have it in the title/name, but the SP count is listed as a feature like it does on most(all?) other cards AMD/NVIDIA.
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod...4126222&cm_re=asus_560-_-14-126-222-_-Product

Amazon - It doesn't mention it all all
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07661CXT2/?tag=tec06d-20

ASUS website - Not at the asus website either (not in the name as you said, but in the specs)

Ill bite.. where do you see it named that?

EDIT:

MSI being shady doesnt say anything about sp's on their web.

Is it possible the database at TPU is wrong calling 560 Aero a 896 SP card? it has the clocks of the full version...

EDIt2: Another consideration is, do you see the SP/CUDA cores listed in MSI's other cards? I didn't check, but a random GTX 1080 and it doesn't have it either... so... conspiracy or normal? Is the database correct? Or is it right?? These two show 1024 for example...

https://techreport.com/news/31944/msi-debuts-slot-powered-radeon-rx-560-aero-itx-oc-cards

So... db here wrong somehow (doubtful as its a GPU-z dump, right?)? Are they really "shady" if they don't show the SP/CUDA count on their other cards either? Just something to think about.

@T4C Fantasy

i see msi fooled everyone but me, and HIS and everyone else lol

Fooled you? Doesn't your DB get added by GPUz submissions??? So, wasn't the data in the dump?

 

[Midland Dog]

Yet again AMD is blamed for the greed of AIBs and their piss poor marketing and naming schemes.

yet when nvidia aibs put 4gb on every single 970 box it was automatically nvidias fault, but wait there was actually still 4gb

 

[Vya Domus]

If you would have done some research you would find out that the GPU was a cut down core of the 980 in such a way that it would only accept that particular memory subsystem. Clearly an international design by Nvidia , not by AIBs as they don't have access to those things. They literally couldn't build it in any other way.

The card was listed as having 4GB GDDR5 everywhere , including on Nvidia's website (it still is funnily enough). So both of them were at fault , much more so Nvidia since they completely obscured that aspect of it's specifications.

But just as always we look at things superficially.

no i said it didnt fool me

and i knew these 560s and 560D and since that amazon the clock speed 1196 is 560D

i didn't need gpuz dumps in other words

 

[EarthDog]

Huburis aside...what i am asking is how is the db data entered? Automatically by a gpuz dump?

its done manually because gpuz entering in false enteries in db is a bad idea, gpu db is way more accurate

 

[EarthDog]

Ok... was just wondering what the source of that msi card is. Its likely that multiple news sources are in error, but curious to see the dump file from it.

I believe the 1196 clocks are regular 560 while the d is lower at 1106? Cant go by clocks though.

no the boost for normal is 1275, for D is 1175, and 1196 is OC of D

with these skus you can go by clocks

https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/Radeon-RX-560-AERO-ITX-4G-OC.html <--560D

its not wrong

 

[Athlonite]

I don't think this is confusing at all. Isn't 580 a rebrand of 480?
Hell, looking back at AMD's history, I thik they may actually have more rebrands than new releases altogether.

Technically yes it is but both cards have the same shader count and ram amount but they upgraded the power to 2x8pin and increased the core/mem clocks

Sorry if I missed it, but where does it show 892 cores there? It is not listed in the specs.

 

[T4C Fantasy]

Sorry if I missed it, but where does it show 892 cores there? All I see are the actual 560 clocks, not lowered 560D clocks and no mention of SP.

Thise are not 560 clocks those are OCd 560D clocks. Like i said normal 560 is 1175-1275, 560D 1090-1175

 

[EarthDog]

Where does it show that MSI card has the lower SP count?

 

[T4C Fantasy]

Where does it show that MSI card has the lower SP count?

It doesnt need to it says its oc-d belower default 560s and ocd above 560d

 

[EarthDog]

Sure it does... there are 560's clocked like that. So if that is true, how can one simply go by clocks?

I honestly don't know what to believe. There are exceptions to what you are saying in this list...

https://videocardz.net/gigabyte-radeon-rx-560-4gb-oc/

The giga card and asus 560 both run at "560D" speeds, but arent 560Ds(right?).

Is there a card in that list with the clocks you state show 56/14 setup?

EDIT: This Sapphire boosts to 1226, not 1275... while the 560 boosts higher to 1300 Mhz
