TechPowerUp News: DirectX 12 Multi-GPU, GDDR5X, and Apple's Record Quarter

btarunr · Nov 2, 2015

In this episode of TechPowerUp News, we talk about DirectX 12 mixed multi-GPU, and how it could change things if AMD and NVIDIA let it stick around; GDDR5's new lease of life in GDDR5X, Apple's record Q3 results, and Philips' quirky, moody new monitor.

wow, you've improved so much over a few weeks. Its a real skill to read and not sound like you're reading, you're getting much better at it.

Loving the videos. @zithe you've made a lot of progress in a short time, and it's quite impressive. Keep up the great works fellas!

It wasn't me. Never bought an Apple product, ever.

You've just earned my undying respect. :respect:

Unfortunately, I can't say the same for me. I bought a used iPhone 4s off a good friend a while back when I was looking to get my first smartphone. However, my luck was in as the Wi-Fi was broken (stopped working when the phone heated up a bit in the hand) so I returned it to him and got a refund. He then sold it to one of those computer exchange shops and got a good price for it. Thing is, they never noticed such an obvious fault! :laugh:

I have never bought an Apple product too. They are not bad hardware wise, but so overpriced. And they are not compatible with my daily engineering life. There are zero things that can help me in my daily working life. As a mobile repair technician. Forget it. Most of manufacturers are bind to IE7 as a rule. And no other means to access their databases.

No way of flashing, qpst and other jtag software... Because there are no drivers, no tools. If you want to eat, I must use windows, for rare exceptions Linux. So forget it...

Gaming... In my free time... No comments needed. PC master race. Apple just looks from the other side behind bars as a disabled relative.

If I only would need to browse and media... I would chose Linux for sure, it is more fun and with so much possibilities.

Phone wise... I just don't like the mainstream vibe around them. Because of people who blindly use them as fashion item. I just hate it. My metalhead inside just screams seeing them... Just as dirty console peasants

.

And comments about the video. Mostly funny, take them lightly.

Okay about news... You have to find the key carrot. The surroundings like plain wall won't do it. A garage even would look better, or some other mancave thing, even a attic full of boxes and hardware stuff. Because otherwise it triggers the boring flag.

You are like a red beet mostly

the front article picture especially. Calm down, or make up, or photoshop. And it looks that you have a earring actually

You had to do this with some pumpkin theme... At least dressed like Dracula. It would gain more fun an views imho... And... It would like naturally suit you with your image

So first off, you deserve some praise for how far you've come along. The first couple of these were extremely rough, and the lack of personality made them difficult to slog through.

This latest video was much more interesting. Please, keep up the great work.

On to the content, I see an issue here. Windows 10 forces driver updates (for most users). AMD and Nvidia can therefore update cards to be incompatible, and not allow the multi-GPU setups to run via drivers. Isn't this exactly why people are having issues with the automatic updates in Windows 10? Kinda seems like MS elegantly proving why the idea sucks, by shooting themselves in the foot.

Apple's profits are interesting. They've functionally just moved one revision up on the phones, and people are still eating that crap up. Sigh...

Thanks so much for the feedback guys! Is really cool. I wanna keep getting betterrr.

Amd + nvidia multigpu is kinda like dinosaurs in jurassic park. They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

Don't know if that applies. I just like excuses to quote Jurassic Park.

It never really needed to exist, but it sure makes it a lot easier to answer when someone new posts about mixing GPUs.

Maybe not.
