Ubisoft's latest AAA open-world game, and the next installment to the Tom Clancy name, Wildlands, came out today on Steam and Uplay. First is techpowerup https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Performance_Analysis/Ghost_Recon_Wildlands/3.html Techpowerup used the in-game benchmark tool to obtain numbers VRAM 1080p ultra 1440p ultra 4k ultra 1080p very high 1440p very high 4k very high In comparison to the beta version of the game (source from GameGPU) 1080p 1440p 4k edit: Benchmarks from pcgameshardware.de edit 2: another benchmark by Guru3D Seems techpowerup is the only one who have released benchmark results, and i expect more outlets will release theirs in due time. I'll add them accordingly (or someone else will find it). In addition, now that Ryzen is out outlets should also test AMD's latest chips in Ghost Recon Wildlands. and of course the 1080Ti that is releasing very soon

So TechPowerUp released their review of the 1800X and it's got some interesting results, it was released today (17.03.2017) Full review link: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/ They put the 1800X through a multitude of tests: - Arithmetic CPU Tests: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/5.html - Productivity & Compression: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/7.html - Media Encoding: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/6.html - Rendering & Simulation: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/8.html - Web Performance: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/9.html and eventually, Gaming: pt. 1 https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/10.html pt. 2 https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/11.html pt. 3 https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_7_1800X/12.html An important note: The R7-series isn't meant for gaming, if you're looking for that in the Ryzen lineup, look at the 4C/8T and 6C/12T parts that will come in April. And I think this is what's most interesting to people on this forum so let's get to it, a few gaming benchmarks: Battlefield 1: Civilization VI: Fallout 4: DOOM: Rise of the Tomb Raider: The Witcher 3: Total War: Warhammer: Hitman: Gaming performance seems very varied, some games work great on the R7 lineup and some games make it fail miserably considering its competition, this indicates an issue either in software or with the architecture, we'll see whether any of it improves after promised fixes and patches arrive. Gaming performance summary: TPU's summary: ----------------------------- My personal opinion: Performance: - Productivity performance is outstanding for the price, there's nothing much to say here, really. - As for gaming performance... It's suprisingly good in some cases and suprisingly bad in other ones. As I said above, the results are mixed and that indicates an issue in my opinion, whether related to software or to the architecture itself. I do not know whether it'll be fixed or not, whether it can be fixed at all or not, however I certainly hope so as AMD has promised fixes, patches & optimizations coming because it's a completely new architecture. Value: - Great for the price, especially with the 1700 and 1700X. Power Consumption: - Again, outstanding This is what suprised me most with the R7 lineup personally... It has double the cores and double the threads of the 7700K and it's more efficient in gaming! It's incredible. TPU's quote on that: Though I wish TPU compared the 1800X to the 6900K and not 7700K... It'd be a much more realistic comparison. ------------------------- EDIT: DigitalFoundry released a great video in which they talk about and review the 1800X in many different scenarios, it's certainly worth the watch:

It's been hiding in plain sight! Reading from an article in KitGuru it seems that RX Vega has ended up in TechPowerUp's GPU Database - This is the link to RX Vega on the database Looking at relative performance, it looks like it is just slightly under the GTX 1080 which, IMO, is sad. But the thing is, AMD's high end cards especially the ones with HBM have been performing better in higher resolutions than 1080p, so this could be a mixed relative performance chart. No one should even get current high end cards just for 1080p anyway. However, FPP is under the GTX 1080 as it is as per the database just 9.83 GFLOPS. In the event that it doesn't perform up to par with at least the GTX 1080, it should all come down to price as we might see a classic R9 290/290X battle here. Cheers to hoping AMD still implements its FineWine™ Technology. Not sure if this is a late entry to April Fools by TechPowerUp but who knows. UPDATE: So while I was out of house apparently, some folks here pointed out a disclaimer that can be found currently in TechPowerUp's GPU Database page for RX Vega. However here is one of the older versions which doesn't have the disclaimer Here's a cached version without the disclaimer. (EDIT: Cached page no longer seems to show the original one. If you can, look for the earlier versions) Wording difference - What does this mean? - (a) Potential screw up on their part (could have been a joke gone bad) or (b) It was actually legit but since it wasn't released and was adding controversy they added the disclaimer I think that the clocks are slow and since RX VEGA hasn't been finalized yet, the clocks could have been changed to ~1500MHz or above. The relative performance shown there was actually based on calculation that could have been computed with the theoretical output. La Especulación: Not sure about this but when Linus made a video that had VEGA running Star Wars Battlefront it was hitting 60FPS+ and did not have a radiator as a liquid cooling solution. This was performing almost at par with a GTX 1080. The delay of the release of VEGA could have been due to the fact they wanted it to perform better by bumping up the clock speeds from the reported 1200MHz in TPU's database to ~1500MHz (rumor), this would require some legit cooling and would mean this card could probably compete with something higher than a GTX 1080. Here's a video of Linus with an engineering sample of RX VEGA - notice, no radiator. UPDATE 2: Videocardz.com has updated their page for RX VEGA They list the Base Clock as 1550MHz, that's waaaay above what they have in TPU, considering this is also the Base and not Boost clock.

source: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/AMD/Ryzen_Memory_Analysis/9.html TechPowerUp did a couple of benchmark using 20 apps and 17 games (1080p, 1440p, 2160p) - some show a substantial degree in perf gain, others show no benefit at all I won't go and post each result for each software tested instead I post a conclusion: if you have the money, buy faster RAM with tight timings, even DDR4 2400 is worth it one caveat - faster ram with looser timings won't produce worthwhile results ps: if you plan to play at 1440p and up, put your money in a better video card, the gains from faster RAM are neglijable

Watch dogs 2 released on current gen consoles 2.5 weeks ago, and has been given a delay for the PC version to improve the game suited for PC players. And there were a lot of things Ubisoft wanted to add and improve (see here). Today it is the day the PC version is finally out; thus the Mr. Robot simulator is put to the test with benchmarks! *Do note that this is a Nvidia Gameworks title* First, we'll start with guru3D. They have tested the game with the latest nvidia and AMD drivers http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/watch-dog-2-pc-graphics-performance-benchmark-review.html 1080p 1440p 4K VRAM usage i7 5960X vs. FX 8370 Now onto Gamersnexus' benchmarks. They have also tested the game with the latest nvidia and AMD drivers http://www.gamersnexus.net/game-bench/2700-watch-dogs-2-gpu-benchmark-11-video-cards Performance scaling with the different visual presets 1080p Ultra 1080p Very High 1440p 4K Very High If you are curious what the 1% and 0.1% Low numbers are on about, it is sort-of self-explanatory: the lowest 1% and 0.1% frame rates observed Last up is techpowerup. They too used the latest drivers https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Performance_Analysis/Watch_Dogs_2/ A video to indulge and drool on the sheer amount of visual settings available VRAM Usage 1080p 1440p 4K Disclaimer: As far as I know, all of these benches are done without using Nvidia gameworks features, such as HFTS. the above presets will not use Nvidia gameworks features unless you deliberately turn them on. I believe these features are disabled on the AMD side. Apart from Gameworks features, there are even more options available past Ultra that can be used on both Nvidia and AMD. It is mentioned here by techpowerup In addition the Temporal AA the game uses is very similar to the variety used in Rainbow Six Seige: the game is rendered at half the selected resolution, then 2x MSAA is applied. The difference is negligible in still shots, but in motion it can look quite gnarly. guru3D has Temporal AA disabled, whereas Gamersnexus and techpowerup I am unsure about. Finally, something to note: The game uses an Anti-cheat system called EasyAntiCheat that prevents the use of RTSS, even while offline. One can roll back to a very old RTSS version to get overlays working, or get EasyAntiCheat to white-list RTSS. http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/update-watch-dogs-2-anti-cheat-system-blocks-rtss-overlay-software.html This could also prevent modding, regardless of whether RTSS is white-listed My thoughts: Seeing that this is a gameworks title, AMD is pushed back a ways with nvidia at the forefront. But the Rx Fury keeps up quite well! Interesting In general though, this is a demanding title. Personally the game looks pretty slick in spite of how demanding it is, but whether one can say it is unoptimized.. perhaps it is. I have looked around, and there are no news of a patch yet.

http://deliddedtech.com/2017/06/27/techpowerup-advertorial-by-amd-draws-controversy/ I guess you gotta be careful with where you get your reviews. Sometimes sponsored content is poorly marked and it can be difficult to notice. I'm a big fan of AMD, but I'm not sure if I agree with the way this sponsored article was represented. It shouldn't have been in a reviews section, and it should've been marked more clearly.

I was going through their database, and I noticed that they have 'GPU notes' for every graphics card from team red. For example, GPU notes for RX 580 is: Architecture Codename: Arctic Islands Codename: Ellesmere CLRX Version: GCN 1.2 Graphics/Compute: GFX8 (gfx803) Display Core Engine: 11.2 Unified Video Decoder: 6.3 Video Compression Engine: 3.4 Can be found in link: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-580.c2938 GPU notes for R9 390 is: Architecture Codename: Volcanic Islands Chip Variant: Hawaii CLRX Version: GCN 1.1 Graphics/Compute: GFX7 (gfx702) Display Core Engine: 8.5 Unified Video Decoder: 4.2 Video Compression Engine: 2.0 Can be found in link: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-r9-390.c2664 I wonder if this is official information from AMD or this is just their own 'notes'. Also, if this is official information from AMD, as a regular user, do I have any way to extract them? Like running some command? Thanks a lot.

In the past i've bios flashed my pc's motherboard and that was rather difficult as it required a windows pc, and i only use linux normally so thats all my bios update/flash expirence. need to bios flash a mining gpu, and is that windows only or can it be done in linux, if so how? saw techpowerup has the bios i'd need to flash as well as a utility, but afterburner through wine saw my gpu was running at 0mhz when at 2.1 mhz, so i can't use that likely.

Nvidia has been rumored to have started training partners on how to support their latest architecture, as reported on by Techpowerup: Which as discusses how we could finally be getting our new GPUs! And those GPUs will likely be Turing, and those partners have also started training their staff on how to support the rumored architecture: Which as stated by both sources that this likely points to a Q3 release, on top of that we have this video from UFD tech also discussing this topic: This of course comes in the wake of Nvidia stating a week ago that the release will not occur for a "long time" as stated in this previous topic: If this is truly the case then we can finally purchase more POWAAA to power the future of gaming and possibly even make VR a reality for more people. Because really, it's about time Nvidia! Though after all the inaccurate rumors from the rumor mill I will believe it when I see it.

We all know that Nvidia revealed some GP100 info based on the P100 Tesla product launch, but two sites actually reviewed the graphics and diagrams and have identified... that GP100... isn't the full blown GP100. Firstly from Guru3D -> http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-gp100-gpu-architecture-recap-full-gpu-has-3840-shader-processors.html And corroborating the above, TechPoweUp -> https://www.techpowerup.com/221641/nvidia-pascal-gp100-silicon-detailed So definitely, the next Gen Titan will most likely be a very serious beast to content with. Although it is not certain if the next Ti will be GP100 or a separate GP104 SKU, but we all hope for the GP100 version

I often update GPU-Z when there is a new release, but usually the changes are under the hood. the latest version 0.8.2 comes with a lookup button that redirects you to their website, to the page for your exact graphic card, and from there you can search for bios etc. and see official specs.
