I have gotten my hands on a dev unit. Suppose to be the... *Drumroll* ampere!  Which one. Idk. Which one I hope? Umm duh the best. So. It posts.  It boots. No driver. Ran across a video of this dude assigning drivers? To a amd devunit. So here I am. I collect many dev units. But this one is currently my prize possession. And IS NOT FOR SALE!. That being said. Help me make this damn card do its job. Pics come later so stay tuned..

Well as far as design goes. Im not sure if that's what it's gonna look like. This one here doesn't even have fan headers on the board. Just a heatsink and the card. And some outputs for I assume tuning for drivers. Can't confirm that. I don't know which dev stage this is.  But from past experience. It's a near finish unit.

Why not do that?  I'm within legal rights :) been down this road with Microsoft on Xbox one also. And Sony for PS4.  And ps3. Also there's certain stuff we can't photograph. And. All that will come around eventually soon. I am going to use my 8pin bios clip to USB to pull off what's on there and go from there  which I can't post any of that. For legal issues. As I said I know where my limits are

After HOURS of working with 2 others on this card. I have officially got it to hit a very respectable bench that I'm pretty happy with. I have been documenting a lot of it and took lots of pictures. And also I got a picture of the dye. I'm going to go thru everything and make sure I don't post anything incriminating. I will provide the following.

 

Benchmark at 1080p and 4k. (this is a sweet one)

 

Benchmark on compute

 

Final clock speed I obtained.

 

The insane power draw I got

 

The insane no power draw I dealt with for way to long

 

What I achieved in mining ethereum. KAWPOW. And 

Monero..(this is a huge surprise)

 

Also my personal favorite. Stressing the card without a fan on it and burning myself. 

 

And some other random stuff.

In the mean time. Let's get the hype going and draw in a crowd. Then I will post the results. And the video and more. Final conclusion. I want my money back for all the 2080ti cards I bought and once this 3000 series is finished. It's gonna have to literally drop the price of other cards. Or be priced so ridiculously high. And I hope amd knows what they're up against. This is a huge leap just in the stuff my team and I have accomplished with a dev card. I will definitely be buying final product for comparison. As long as its under 7k and it better be.

 

In mean time. Let's get some guessing going on what you all think this card did on 4k vs 1080p. Did 4k benchmark out perform 1080p or did 1080p beat 4k.  And give a reason why you think whichever will win
