Higher leakage is usually better at overclocking because they tend to be more stable with extra volt and with WC keeping the leakage, it will overclock much better than lower leakage chip.
The Fury-X still lack proper voltage control and the VRM temp is somewhat worrying with extra voltage.

It's a product that cater to a niche audience with specific form factor and use-case scenario. How many people own 970 mini anyway?


Overall the Nano impressed me apart from the steep price. I was expecting 390-ish performance with thermal throttle everywhere.

No, 75c is the Nano temperature target and 85c is the thermal limit iinm.

120FPS min or average? Mine can't maintain over 120FPS when there's alot of effect on the screen.

Oh, i increased the cap to 200 since i didn't notice any tearing.
Just tried latest client and i got average 130-ish FPS give or take with some rare split secs dip to mid 100s/high 90s. Last week client perform slightly better though with rare dips into mid 110s.
DX11 mode perform lower for me btw.

Yes and Vulkan.

What is this "reasonable overclock" for Fury-X according to you?

Any high end card that need volt mod will use insane power consumption. Heck, an unlocked GTX780 with all safety bells and whistles removed can consumed 400w ALONE when overclocked.

Yes the board power limit will be an issue to overclock a Nano over the top especially since board partner not allowed to create custom PCB for it.

That is one of the possibility in case AMD CPU division going under if Zen fail.

You can't compare clock/clock from different architecture. A 390 at 1.15ghz-1.18ghz is on par with 970 at 1.45ghz-1.5ghz.

Maxwell efficiency came from better much load adjustment especially when gaming where there's is always some idle task/queue in the pipelines.
Load that with an intensive GPGPU compute task, the 980 become power hogger just like Hawaii.

Lisa Su probably spanking him right now.

Since you can get 390 for just over RM1.3k, hopefully this card will be under RM1.1k. The card probably slightly faster than the R9-280x depend on the stock speed.

Yes, that's how they extracted more performance on the PS4 and XB1 with those low-ish end GPUs.

Yes, all GCN 1.0 cards have 2 Asynchronous Compute Engine(ACE) including one in Xbox One and PS4(apparently PS4 got 8 ACEs like GCN1.1 and over). each engine can queue 8 task with a total of 16 tasks.
GCN 1.1 and GCN 1.2 have 8 ACE with a total of 64 tasks in parallel.

You can see how dev SuckerPunch used Async Compute in PS4 exclusive Infamous 2nd Son which look really great imo

Anyone playing Dota 2 Reborn able to use MSI AB OSD?

or hope AMD driver will be more efficient in utilizing the VRAM.

Hmm.. i'm on beta driver as well but Window 10. Didn't work in Dota 2 after official release of reborn client.

Yes, since the iGPU is GCN 1.1 so it have 8 ACE but the problem with iGPU is memory bandwidth.

But dev probably won't utilize that much since Maxwell2 can only do 32 compute tasks for parity.
I wonder when AMD will drop HBM for their APU.

^ their PR team still smoking weed.

Not sure, haven't play pCars in many weeks. Will try it tonight to try the new update.

Another DX12 alpha/beta benchmark. Fable Legend

Aync Compute in Fable Legends is optimized for XboxOne which only have 2 ACE.

What kind of crashes? Only in GTAV?

That driver only 1 day old, he probably still using 15.7 or 15.8.

There is a memory leak bug in Catalyst 15.9, many guys experienced it so wait for hotfix.

VRAM leaked in Catalyst 15.9. Expect a hotfix very soon.
Anyway if this happened, just kill/restart Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) to purge it.
