AMD Announces New Radeon Pro Duo - Polaris x2

warrior420 · Apr 25, 2017

Lol, wow... Of course Vega got brought up in a Professional card's news post.

You are all retarded if you think AMD is going to be releasing ANY information on Vega before/after they JUST dropped brand new cards on us. Do you think they are that dumb? This is marketing at it's finest. They new a refresh was going to happen. You NEVER disclose anything about you're newest development before or even right after you're about to release an inferior product. Lol that's suicide for the newly released product. Then the customer (that would actually consider buying a 580X) will say, why should I buy now when waiting will bring a better value, I've already waited this long...

Plan on AMD waiting a while before the real Vega stuff leaks. It's the smart thing to do. Deal with it. Speculation at this point is just pointless.

Radeon Pro Duo has nothing to do with RX Vega. Vega is a gaming card. The professional ones are Radeon Instinct. Which is a pure compute thing. So it's not related to Radeon Pro Duo either because this is an entry professional model for general purpose compute/assistance. Instinct will be top end product. So, there's that...

We need some comparison tests with Quadros!

To mention Vega is a single GPU not dual like the pro duo. Just to clarify.

I'd like to know DP performance, not just inflated SP figures.

This card is NOT FOR GAMERS.
11+ Tflops is its selling point, that's about as much as in 1080Ti/titan, and in the same power envelope (250W)

On Vega front, there was a FB comment about when it comes, namely:
1) when it is ready
2) in Q2 2017

VEGA may only compete with 1080 in certain selected games

Lol what?
If 500mm2 Vega can only take on 314mm2 1080 (I don't care if it wipes the floor with it in all games) it is still epic.fail.

And, yeah, that 314mm2 chip is still overpriced.

I was guessing he was comparing to the 500 series launch (the "new" product). i.e. the side/OT topic around Vega, unrelated to the Pro card.

About Vega. Today I had some time and read an article (actually an interview) on tomshardware with AMD's Desktop Processors Marketing Manger, Don Woligroski, who was asked some questions from Tom's community. They were mostly about RyZen but there were also questions about the new Vega product. Question about the performance in comparison to the newest titan and 1080 TI. He didn't specify exactly if Vega matches or exceeds performance with NV flagship cards or falls behind. The answer was
"Vega performance compared to the Geforce GTX 1080 Ti and the Titan Xp looks really nice." Hard to tell what "really nice" represents here but he seemed confident so I guess saying NO MATCH for 1080 Ti is a bit of exaggeration since we don't even know how it really performs yet and it's no out. So saying epic fail is just ridiculous.

At 4K they are practically equal though on average. So, in some games better and in others worse. And at 1440P very close also. Always SLI and CF work best at higher resolutions.

Yeah it's crazy how fast and efficient the GP104 is, it takes two Polaris with perfect scaling to get close.

Anyway, this is for Pros and stuff as has already been discussed.

Let's summarize:

This is NOT a gaming GPU. All who said it is are wrong and talking bullshit.

This has nothing to do with Vega, it's just another Polaris product and it has way more Vram than Vega could ever have (Vega will probably have 8 GB, and the maximum config of it is 16 GB in theory, while this here has 32 GB and in theory could have as much as 64 GB too).

Some users here made bad experiences with old AMD products and are just here to flame and talk down things - nvm them.
