except this time drivers and dev support could have huge perf gains because of the use of fp16

Wait, FuryX faster than 1060? 

its closer to the 1070 then the 1060 in preformance

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Interesting Tid bit, the drivers for Frontier Edition are wholly unique to it. It really isn't Radeon Pro, or Crimson ReLive.

 

Crimson Relive version 17.4.4

In the Attack on GTX Titan video. It's very brief - if you blink, you'll miss it. It's a flash of pink and green, and if you don't look too closely the windows look like a heatsink and side view of a fan.

Just imagine if they could use that to take 2 GPU dies and make it work as one just like Threadripper and Epyc did for CPU's. they could develop a high yields, high efficiency small die part and stack them to compete in the high end.

 

I personally excited for the zen+vega APU's for desktops.

Imagine, if you can put in 2 cards and the system detects it as just one.

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

Well there goes titan's being used for workstation and maybe a price drop for quadro's

Titans currently aren't worth using in workstations anyways. The Xp doesn't have any advantage over the 1080 ti besides memory bandwidth, CUDA cores, memory size, and some small things like rop and TMU count (basically no extra features is what I'm saying).

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Actually you'd be surprised, because they aren't plastered in "GAMING" a lot of businesses get them as cheap workstation cards (To a business $1200 is cheap next to a $6000 quadro). For example we have some here.

Seems the first Radeon Pro Vega card the WX9100 has been spotted. As mentioned before The Frontier Edition is NOT Radeon Pro card, and doesn't have certified professional drivers. If you need that, here's the type of card to get.

 

Most likely part of the range also going into the iMac Pro.

https://videocardz.com/70526/amd-preparing-radeon-pro-wx-9100-with-vega-gpu

Quote

The new device will join Radeon Pro WX x100 series. The fastest graphics card in these series is currently WX 7100 based on Polaris 10. According to the data from CompuBench, WX 9100 would have 1792 cores more than WX 7100. The listing reveals that WX 9100 has 64 Compute Units (4096 Cores) and a clock of 1200 MHz. Listed global memory size is definitely pointing towards 16GB configuration, so this would be sixth Vega with such memory size.

 Of course, this raises a question what makes is different from Radeon Vega Frontier. Frontier seems to be a perfect card for game developers, as it features both Professional and Gaming modes. If I understand this right, the Radeon Pro WX 9100 will be strictly a professional card (for design and manufacturing).

Considering that the mining craze is still going strong, if it stays at 999$, it's a great value; when compared to the RX 480, I pay only 50% more and get 2x the gaming performance (assuming it's the same as a GTX 1080Ti), and more importantly, I may be able to get all the money back if I Crossfire two of those!!!!

HE SAID THAT HE MAY OR MAY NOT BE POWER LIMITED DUE TO 550W PSU He said the clock was bouncing around a bit

Note that he was using a 550W PSU and was not getting stable clocks.

He's apparently thermal or power throttling as well. Will have to see what he can manage. 
Since he can't get the clocks to stay at 1600Mhz either.

 

He also has the GPU in an MITX case from the looks of it, very cramped.
