Leaked info of AMD Vega, and HDR, and physics engine, and ambient occlusion and..

[NumLock21]

My very first build has a ATi Rage video card, it has 2MB of vram and runs on AGP 2x. Then I upgraded to a ATi Rage 128 where is has 32MB of vram.

[Humbug]

This is a problem for AMD.

Media overhyping something (April fools or not) and then when the actual product comes out people will remember the hype but not the source and they will blame AMD...

[ZothOmmog]

Interesting, in all of the AMD pictures I saw color banding.

[Qyoon]

ATi Rage 128 was my first video card i remember of , then i got a Nvidia FX5200.

 

Those days... wow i will be old soon...

I'm not 100% sure how it works, what I know for certain is that the HBBC is very, very good at memory management. I don't know for certain but I think they were saying how some of the textures would be offloaded onto areas such as the memory, making the on-die HBM 2 act as a "cache", for the most frequently used data, and the information that the game stores but hardily ever uses would be offloaded onto slower memory.

Well tbh they often cause these situations themselves with misleading graphics so i don't feel sorry for them, they deserve the pitfall of the hype culture they themselves created to begin with.

This image proves its fake. The actually card is horrible quality, something they would not do. You can also see theres no holes in the PCIe bracket, somethign that is needed for proper airflow

[VerticalDiscussions]

I wanted to believe, but even if it wasnt Aprils Fools, it seems that all year long AMD products celebrate this day.

 

, but yes Ryzen 7 is good.

[Scruffy90]

Despite it being 4/1, heres to hoping that AMD provides some competition on the gaming front.

If you don't know in 100% how it works, why/how can you say it works "very, very good" ?
AMD didn't tell us how it works exactly, so how can you know ?

Other than that :
They still use HBM as primary memory (a.k.a VRAM), and system memory as secondary. So, same as always (VRAM => RAM => SSD/HDD) ?

Vega simply has dedicated chip that does memory management.
I understand it can be helpful, but if it's worth something will depend on what exactly it can do under normal VRAM usage, and in case of running out of VRAM capacity.
If you still insist on "very very good", give me hard numbers I can see... please ?
PS. I really don't like that Deus Ex demo AMD shown, since they could EASILY tweaked few things for "maximum effect".

so is the card in the picture , its a photoshopped fury x , look at the fury x marketing material

That would explain the weird coloured bar on the bracket

[Doobeedoo]

Though that design is epic! I'd like to see it like that!

[Lauen]

How come almost nobody has noticed the fact that the X2 card's PCI-e interface is too far away from the bracket? lul, very obviously fake. And why would an X2 card have the same SP's as a single? 

 

[Bananasplit_00]

as much as i WANT this to be true its probably just an Aprils fools thing sadly. im going to stick to my guess of about 1080 preformance for just over 1070 price

You disregard the only comparison we have, that's your problem not mine. AMD states the only difference between the two demos being HBCC on and off, if you think they fiddled with it then good for you, not my problem.

This was an April fools day article, locking thread as it isn't actually news.
