Question about RAGE Mode in Radeon

[Alzaren]

Will the Rage mode OC feature come to Polaris GPUs like the RX 580/570/560 or is it RDNA 2 exclusive? I'm hoping that since it's a software level feature, it should be supported.

It's RDNA 2 exclusive.

Is it? I didn't catch them saying this is an exclusive.

Navi 2 do have a wide oc headroom than older polaris or vega, that would make this feature possible.

I'm pretty sure it's RDNA exclusive, I think if they do add it to the older cards it will only be to the previous gen of RDNA(5600 to 5800XT) cards nothing older. It just doesn't make sense from a business standpoint to take a new feature and put time and money into getting that feature to work on old discontinued cards that they don't even manufacture/sell anymore. It's not impossible for them to do it, but it's very improbable.

That's a good point, but the RX 580 and 570 still has great sales(afaik). Also wasn't RAGE mode based on AI or something? So won't it adapt to the particular card(instead of them tuning it)? Most older AMD cards do have that Auto OC feature(the one that came before RAGE). If RAGE works similarly, I don't see why it couldn't be included. For eg. hardware accelerated gpu scheduling is only supported on rx 5000 series cards now, but they plan or bringing it to Polaris and Vega too. I guess we won't know anything until an official statement is released.
