Moore Thread's MTT S80, World's First PCIe Gen 5 Gaming Graphics Card, Now Priced at $164

[Gmr_Chick]

Isn't this the same power-hungry one that looked like it had decent compute performance but had absolutely hilarious game performance with woefully unprepared drivers? PowerVR based iirc



Unless Moore Threads has been busting their asses for the past half year furiously accomplishing Intel-levels of driver catch-up work........yeah, no. Apart from some lukewarm news buzz in September about a driver update for OpenGL optimizations, seems like Moore Threads hasn't budged on the driver front since everyone did their testing of the S80. I keep seeing this 40% improvement being thrown around, but what is +40% of "basically doesn't run"?

Easy! Instead of "basically doesn't run" it's now "kinda sorta almost runs"

I thought I had heard these were based on Imagination's PowerVR core.

Used to be a fairly common GPU architecture in phones, and even dates back to being used in the Dreamcast.

No, Moore Threads is made by the ex head of Nvidia China.
It was the Fenghua 1 GPU made by Innosilicon which is a Chinese GPU company that is using Imagination Technologies (powervr) IP to make their card

It gives you the error screen at 40% greater efficiency!

I hope to buy one of these to test my own theory or perhaps wait for the next gen, pretty high end design too or so it appears. Compared to some of the hideous rounded plastic low end Nvidia models this yr.

More new drivers, more better performance in few games. With big gap in percentage.
