    Meladath got a reaction from Snadzies in 4 x Fury X from AMD Technical Support Engineer   
    And thats why you don't post something stupid like this on the internet because
    1. Looks are subjective
    2. Because so many people run 4x cards right? Oh boohoo you need a single 120mm fan mount, even with a 240mm CPU AIO and 2 cards you only need 4 fan mounts. Show me a case that doesn't have 4 fan mounts that anyone actually buys.

    Wow some people really are stupid, comparing LN2 world record attempt benches to stock ones thinking its somehow representative of the real performance makes me laugh so much.
     
    Take a look at the average/lowest 4x titan X, the ones with cards at stock benches, not the highest lmfao.

    13640 graphics score vs ~15k graphics score with the 4 fury X.

    That seems to be the highest 4x titan X at stock I can see, just over 15k

    Based on what? You've seen the code? You've dealt with optimization and implementation of it in game development? No you have not. I can only assume you are being sarcastic, because your statement makes no sense.

    Well, it is possible, but unlikely.
    1. AMD optimize shaders for popular games. (The driver calculates the shader's checksum, if it is one they know, then they load the specialized version instead). No surprise, Nvidia does this too.
    2. Usually, AMD contacts the developers for the shaders' source code, if they are shipped in compiled form, in order to make their optimization process possible. The developers see no loss: AMD will improve your games performance on their hardware for free in their upcoming driver, what luck!
    3. In this case, Nvidia wrote the shaders. AMD may contact the developer, but they cannot distribute the source of some shaders to AMD due to Nvidia's licensing.
    4. Now AMD has to optimize the shader program from the compiled form, which looks something like this:

    imul null, r1.x, cb0[r1.x+2].y, cb0[r1.y+2].xitof r1.x, r1.xadd r0.x, r0.x, r1.xmul o0.z, r0.x, l(0.2)utof r0.x, r0.zadd o0.w, r0.x, l(0.5)itof o0.x, r0.witof o0.y, r0.yret5. Good fucking luck. The fact they got it out so soon only speaks to the skill of the poor bastards who have to maintain the wretch that is any modern graphics driver.

    i'm surprised You-Know-Who/He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named hasn't made an ad hominem and of course nvidia lied arguments yet. why does it make it a PR lie when Nvidia or the games that support game works say anything but it's always the truth when Amd comes out and bashes game works ? have you really for once thought the other way around?

    That doesn't mean it is a Gameworks title. Nvidia has pages like that for games that for Gaming Evolved games that have SLI, 3d vision support, and so on . AMD has a similar thing with GTA V as well. GTA V was even bundled with Radeon GPUs from Newegg along with Dirt Rally

    Another thread saying screw the witcher devs, screw tim Sweeney, screw ex Valve programmers, screw AMD's driver team, because the mighty NVidia is always right.
     
    Seriously though, why would anyone believe a super biased statement by NVidia, to statements made by the actual developers, even more so, some that actually use gameworks in their games? So much propaganda, and you're all eating it up. Please learn about source critique.

    If you can get off your fanboy horse one instant, let me tell you it's the developers' responsibility to optimize their games for graphics cards based on the drivers available, not the GPU manufacturer's responsibility. Yet GPU manufacturers keep having to do it because of the sheer amount of programming incompetency in the game development mileu.

    well Hawaii -> Grenada is also still GCN1.1. and this has a more robust memory controller and higher clocks. So its the same situation. Its just intel can market it as a refresh, and AMD couldnt exactly, since they had to launch a new generation

    Oh, so you've tested an HBM gpu first hand? So you can tell me that its higher bandwidth doesn't have an advantage over the same GPU chip that has GDDR5 instead? 
     
    Even if, a huge if, HBM doesn't have an advantage in terms of speed, you can't deny that having less power consumption isn't "useless" as you said.

    The fact that all of his topics this past week are specifically only negative things about the Fury X and have the most obscure sources (which means that he is trying his hardest to find every negative detail) it's clear that OP is on a crusade against the Fury X.
