Damn, i miss Radeon driver.

Why you set 500/500 for global?
Did you reboot your PC on regular basis or you simply shut it down?

Opera user.

Hmm.. i wonder which card will support this.

You can edit the BIOS and lower the clock speed. Is it ASUS 280x?
What kind of problem you get using MSI AB?
I hope you disable Window 10 Fast Startup because that thing bring more problem than benefit.
Try reboot your PC everyday if you enabled Fast Startup.

Yeah, modified the BIOS so you card have lower clock speed. Too bad your card dual BIOS switch is between Legacy vs Uefi instead of Boost vs Non-Boost like my old Sapphire 7950 Vapor-X which actually artifacting when i use the Boost BIOS.

Hmm, I don't have any overlay issue with POE.

If i recall correctly, Afterburner start having compatibility issue ever since AMD introduce Wattman into Radeon Setting. Unwinder is not please with support from AMD so there probably won't be any fix for it.

What i mean by slightly is that i don't consider 1080 as an upgrade path, Vega 56 performance fall around that so it's more of a sidegrade to me.
You don't really need Gameworks to make 980 Ti perform near Vega 56, any single threaded heavy games is enough to cripple Vega 56 to near 980 Ti level. Good thing the industry is starting to make better multi-threaded games ever since Ryzen and Vulkan/DX12 is around.

Of course Vega 56 is better overall but it's not enough performance to warrant an upgrade compare to my overclocked 980 Ti, although since now Turing is out there, optimization support for Maxwell will probably lag behind.

I found several 1080 for 1.5k and 1080 Ti for 2k. Vega 56 for 1.3k is not too low imo, at least not from buyer perspective.

Nah, even in 2018 there are games that rape that single core.

Why i can't compare price like that? I thought buying GPU is mostly about performance/price within your budget unless you're bangsawan.

I'm currently using Reshade + MSI Afterburner for PoE, both use inject method iinm.

Nothing dramatic happen other than the picture i put shows up.
Most probably that, AMD got their own overlay thingy right? Maybe that's conflicting when u try to mix with another overlay?

I worded it wrongly then. Even when the game is multithreaded, performance will still drop if it's not balance across all CPU cores/threads.

That is true if you're Apple. Nobody going to buy a 2nd hand Vega if they can get 1080 cheaper or 1080 Ti for slightly higher price. No?

A little bit too late?

Why? I know Hackintosh dude will get AMD but Leenox too?

Frametime fluctuates/dip when you max out one core, thats bad for sure. Yeah window is not quite great in that regards, that's why i really like Nvidia's approach of intercepting and balancing the load on driver side instead of relying on windows. It increase overall CPU load but not that significant in most games and the result shows.

NVCP is garbage by today standard, that true. I tried my best not to open that PoS.
AMD already start locking VBIOS modding with Vega anyway, they probably will keep doing that for upcoming GPUs. What you mean by finicky frequency?

That's a thing, majority of consumer if not all want their shiny new purchase to work great out of the box unlike you?. If i'm just a typical consumer i probably return or sell my old 7950 when it start artifacting out of the box.

Yeah Freesync is great, but some lower end Freesync monitor is not great.

I mean do you really skip this and purchase a 2nd hand Vega56 for 1.5k instead?

Oh, yeah that annoy me a little too.

980Ti+300 for a Vega 56 is a great deal. I thought you had 1080 Ti at one point? What happen to the card?

Depend how far you can overclock both, usually 1070 just very slightly ahead.

Annual big update, while Nvidia releasing hotfix of a hotfix for a hotfix.

Any feedback/comment about the new Adrenalin driver guys?
Auto OC (auto undervolt and shits), memory timing, more DPM state on Vega GPU.

Bruh, that 980 Ti already thermal throttling on day 1. I can only imagine it get worse 3 years later.

Let me do the math for you.
From your graph the 1070 Ti is 26% faster than ref 980 Ti.

From this sub 1500mhz 980 Ti OC chart,


The 980 Ti OC is 33% faster than ref 980 Ti. 33 > 26 so 980 Ti > "non-oc" 1070 Ti yay top kek.
But of course driver optimization is a thing, Maxwell get slower optimization nowadays compare to Pascal.

You mean i should just watch/ignore people give misleading info or fake news?

Option to undervolt is great, i miss that too. If i want to "undervolt" my 980 Ti i need to decrease the power limit which is not nice.
I hope reviewer will test latest Adrenalin auto undervolt feature and provide comparison between no undervolt, auto undervolt and manual undervolt. Steve will probably do it since Scott Wasson went there to provide info on the new driver.

Rm600-700 2nd hand 980 Ti is about right for me but since GPU pricing is such a hot garbage right now i can sell my card for 900-1000 without a problem. huehuehue
I mean 590 a.k.a 580 a.k.a 480 will be forgotten when AMD release Navi next year since Navi and Vega is confirmed on 7nm.

They could've make it 8GB and lower the price imo.

Does content creator actually need that much VRAM?

RT is legit, but DLSS is just a snake oil imo.
I wont put my money on Navi until i see real world performance.

GCN could be a gaming friendly arch but AMD simply didn't have enough budget to do it like Nvidia did.

So Radeon VII spec is similar to Radeon Instinct MI50, that explain 16GB VRAM on that.

Actually compare to Vega64 performance gain in gaming is higher compare to productivity.

Many speculated they add a display output on Radeon Instinct Mi50 and rebrand it as Radeon VII.

Big ass Radeon VII DIE shot render.

Meh, just your typical asian uncle talking shit to his niece.

kek. nice edit.
