Fury Nano Benchmarks [1080p/1440p/2160p]

[HalGameGuru]

Nope it's hardware. HDMI 2.0 has a much higher bandwidth. You can however still use your existing HDMI cables as long as they are "super speed"

 

All the documentation I have read so far says depending on the controllers involved HDMI 2.0 support can be implemented through a firmware update. HDMI 2.0 does require higher bandwidth off the bat, but that could be well within the headroom available before any updates; and implements some new and improved features, many of which don't seem to be hardware limited but software limited. But, depending on the hardware involved a lot of the changes could be more easily implemented after the fact in dGPU's than say stand alone Blu-Ray players or cable boxes.

So the size DOES matter. Perhaps, the Nano is made for short people?

Either way, that shitty little thing is way too fucking overpriced and if all reviews even seem to have a problem answering that question,

then what the fuck was Lisa Su thinking??????? She really really sucks as a CEO and needs to replaced asap!

Otherwise she will announce Arctic Islands GPU's are for people living in north pole.

 

AMD needs a new CEO to survive, maybe they need to be bought by glorious Samsung!

You already know AMD is gonna fuck up something again. nVidia is gonna release their Pascal GPU and beat AMD to the punch. By that time its too late as nVidia's marketshare goes from 82% to 98%.

I think what you mean is that 4K 60hz can be done on 4:2:2 compression via drivers, yes Nvidia did that for older cards without HDMI 2.0

I don't understand people that buy 960 and 970 instead of 380 and 390's. But then again I don't understand why people buy Fury X instead of 980Ti.

 

Guess this market is a lot of Nvidia fanboys and a couple AMD fanboys but those are much more hardcore. No more room for the neutral enthusiast like me

No, according to HDMI.org HDMI 2.0 support MAY require new hardware, but many vendors will have hardware, in pre 2.0 implementations, that can support 2.0 with firmware updates. Definitely not all, and apparently not the Fury line, or I would assume someone from AMD would have made mention of it, but according to them full HDMI 2.0 implementations CAN be done via firmware depending on the base hardware involved.

Yeah... do you think you are going to put a usb stick with a firmware update in your 10 year old blu-ray player and it magically plays 4K Blu-rays.

They ofcourse want us to spend money again. While physical media is already dead.

 

As for GPU I have no idea...

I wouldn't expect 4K from an old Blu-Ray player but I've gotten interesting media player capabilities out of non-Smart TV's and fun unlocks via USB firmware updates on a lot of devices, recent enough ones with the headroom and quality I am sure will have people officially or unofficially getting more bang for their buck out of their devices, some I dare say may get HDMI 2.0 out of hardware that was not 2.0 when released.

AMD is too lazy and not aggressive like nVidia. They need less "nice guy" and play hardball like nVidia. They also whine too fucking much like a 2 year old baby. They gotta grow a pair of balls and market their products better. AMD has got nice products but they've got a bad image right now. It would take a massive fuckup from nVidia for AMD to get back imo.

Only way they can get some marketshare back is reduce the prices again...AMD just has some of those weird problems...

 

Why can a 950 do 8K DSR and have HDMI 2.0 but a Fury X only does 3200x1800 VSR and HDMI 1.4?

 

Makes no sense.

Don't forget the Nano costs freaking €799! And yet I am still scratching my balls off with the question: at which market is the nano made for??

Nano makes the 980Ti much attractive as it is slightly cheaper.

Sometimes I feel this forum isn't even related to Linus at all...

 

 

People in this thread say the want smaller then that, but can't give a good reason why.

[Syntaxvgm]

Again, Nvidia is trying to sell the 980ti and titan x as the most powerful solution/fastest solution you can get.  It's just not true.  "NVIDIA has revealed what it claims is the world's fastest and most powerful GPU, the Titan X"

 

However, the 295x2 has a 303.4 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth making the memory performance greater than the titan x, it has a 357 better shading performance than the titan x, the core clock speed is higher on the 295x2, the 295x2 has 166.3 GTexel/s better texturing performance, and it also has more Render Output Units.  So, basically Nvidia is lying, again.

you compare 2 titan xs in that situation with the 2 290xs. 

 

Not that NVIDIA is being entirely honest or anything.

I'd like a small footprint case so i can mount it to the back of a TV and get full gaming performance. No money for it, but my end goal, in the future, is to have an ITX machine I can mount to the backside of a VESA mount and mount the whole shebang to the wall and have what basically amounts to a gaming theater. 

[Glenwing]

It's not 2 full 290xs.  It's not like they just took 2 reference cards and bridged them together.  They soldered parts of two to function together.  Maybe Nvidia should try that again instead of lying about have the fastest and most powerful GPU solution on the market? 

 

Why would I do that? Ya, it would be fair, but I'm going off in factory solutions.  Not what lil Timmy can do.  I'm not arguing what I should do, but rather Nvidia's claims about what the companies have to offer.  Why?  They're false advertising, but if I were to benchmark then I'd do what you'd say to be fair.

 

Basically, this is about what is one product and what is being advertised falsely.  The 295x2, while having two GPUs inside, is still one product.  2 Titans Xs=2 products.

Don't confuse a graphics card with a GPU.

you are really trying hard to stretch it aren't you? 

One product? 

So if they sold 2 980tis hot glue together NVIDIA wins? 

[Syntaxvgm]

If it is 1 product in factory then yes.  I really wonder why Nvidia doesn't do what AMD does anymore.  I mean a few third parties do for them like those mars cards, but those are like 2 series old now aren't they?

 

I'm not stretching it I'm talking about what Nvidia is advertising.  In a benchmark though I'd team up 2 980 tis or 2 titan xs to compare to a single 295x2 to be fair.  However, it's not what is being advertised/what I'm arguing.

[Syntaxvgm]

What did you think was going on?

I hope you know I literally meant hot glue 

[Syntaxvgm]

Well, that wouldn't work exactly.  Depending on what is being hot glued you'd still need an sli bridge, and/or some further tweaking to make them work together.

an sli bridge. Literally all you need. 

But it would be one product 

same damn thing as a 295x2 

(and would work better than a titan z)

[Syntaxvgm]

Well, I didn't know if ya meant 2 graphics cards hot glued together by Nvidia or whatever 3rd party, like Gigabyte, or if you meant what AMD/3rd parties do with the 295x2.

 

That's why I said what I said. 

nvidia. Takes 2 reference cards, glues the together, side by side, one product. Fastest card amirate? 

[Syntaxvgm]

If they do it then I can't argue with that.    However, I doubt they will.  If they do though then they wouldn't be false advertising.

This conversion reminds me of the 9800gx2

lol

titan x is still the 'fastest gpu' when it came out, not false advertising

[Kamina]

Ya dun goof'd, AMD.
