Pascal VS Polaris

[Xsilent(X)]

Who do you think will be more powerful?

 

 

Please no fanboy comments.

Two words, smaller dye.

Obvious answer Pascal, why? AMD is aiming for lower price points with Polaris, attempting to get great price per performance and price per wattage. Vega should be the high end architecture for AMD, coming early 2017.

We already have topics on this.

 

Polaris 11 will be targeting the mobile market. Polaris 10 @800mhz is as powerful as a 390x, so it's capabilities depend on where it clocks to.

 

The 1080 and 1070 at the moment are all hype. Wait for the benchmarks.

I think AMD announces that their aim for Polaris is to bring VR to the masses, so it will be more 'affordable'.

 

No doubt Pascal is faster, but does it offer better performance per dollar.

You can't say, no matter what anyone says you have no idea what company will pull what out of their ass.

ill wait untill the benchmarks before i decide which is better.

watch AMD just say that then they come out this card that can run 7 4k monitors and play crysis 3 at ultra on all of them, and then watch evey Nvidia fanboy shit their pants  

 

but for real right now we dont know, youll have to wait till they release more info on polaris

At $200 with a tb of vram.

Downside is it runs so hot it comes in another case and runs to the board with a cable.

[Tedol]

I will wait for Vega

No Kabylake iGPU?

Rumored die sizes are ~333 mm² for GP104 vs ~232 mm² for polaris 10. Polaris is on 14 nm vs pascal's 16 nm, so a full polaris 10 might be close to a 1070, if if clocks as high, so unless they come out with something like an interposer to glue 2 cores together, pascal will likely remain the highest end card. However, personnally, even the 1070 is above what I'm willing to pay for a gpu, so it's perfect for me.

 

But I have a feeling that 14 nm is more of a lower power/lower clock process than 16 nm is, I hope I'm wrong.
