Question Speculation: RDNA3 + CDNA2 Architectures Thread

[uzzi38]

Man I have been dying to make this one for a while now.

First rumours for RDNA3 are here so new thread time!

Just going to start off with this one for now: kopite7kimi on Twitter: "@VideoCardz Ah, I mean a simple mcm design with 10240 cores is not enough. Because the lift from RDNA2 to RDNA3 is much bigger than from RDNA1 to RDNA2. We should expect many big improvements in GFX11. 🤔" / Twitter

-My understanding is that this project has been abandoned and as a result was taken open source.

The guy behind it was contracted by AMD, but as they got further along I think it was starting to get legally tenuous so AMD pulled the plug and the project went open source per the contract.

So I figure as CUDA gets new releases, new cards are released, and this project fallows, not much will come of this.

Cool nonetheless and a shame we don't have a proper unified direct compute language...

I imagine the industry will keep updating it.

RTX 4070 meet RX 7900 GRE: https://videocardz.com/newz/amd-radeon-rx-7900-gre-to-launch-globally-on-february-27th-at-549

They should rename it to the Dragon Edition for the global launch coz that's the year we are in right now.

AMD Announces Wider Launch of Radeon RX 7900 GRE, Adjusts Pricing of RX 7700 XT

AMD today announced wider availability of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition) graphics card. The card is now available in certain western markets including in Europe and North America; although AMD wouldn't call this a global launch. The card was originally designed as a limited...

And AMD has officially dropped the price of the 7700 XT down to $419.

Should check out CoD:MW2/MW3 benches, wonder why there's zero marketing around it and then think even less about AMD's marketing dept.

Yeah I remember I was into MW2 and the 7900XTX performed probably the best at it. I don't know if this is still true, but the card is up there.

I got a 7900xtx nitro+ waterblocked, only playing Diablo4 with it so far, but doesn't max 8350 out at 100% fulltime.

Why are you running a 7900XTX on AM3+?

We need a proper mini-review! That certainly is an interesting combination!

It "Fell off a back of a truck"?

Now that's dedication to "if it boots, it's enough". 🤣

Let's see how low AMD's driver overhead can go...

Forget the drivers, AM3+ was still limited to PCIe 3 wasn't it?
XTX must be choking in there.
Sad GPU crying yellow.
It's extra funny because Nitro+ is like the ultimate of what Sapphire can produce.

At least give it a DDR4 based CPU, for pity's sake.

I initially thought he meant the i3 8350, but then I looked at his signature.
What the heck...why? Did his new mobo+cpu die?

And I looked at FX 8350 benchmarks and Jesus, I had no idea just how poor Bulldozer was. I know it was BAD, but not DOA on every single release between 2011-2015.
It's quite miraculous that AMD survived that.

Maybe he hates AMD PSP.

I've had FX8350 from February 2013 to February 2020. It's was ok, but FX doesn't like games with a lot CPU effects(even Thief 2014 was like 40-50 fps avg). Even GTX 1070ti in 50% games FX8350 can't load fully GPU, i'm not talking about 7900XTX.
When change FX8350 to Ryzen 1500x it's was massive boost.

Nope.

Guess MSI doesn't perceive any consumer excitement over RDNA3: https://videocardz.com/newz/msi-con...msi-radeon-cards-are-disappearing-from-stores

If they skip RDNA4, that will be a bad sign. Hopefully they won't.

It looks more like they have a beef with AMD, because they even made an Arc handheld, that is a major failure. So it doesn't look like they are basing their decisions on quality, but on a dislike for AMD.

Legacy driver issues from Nvidia.

Upgrades to mother components will come eventually

It's doing fine. Plus it's piledriver not bulldozer. There was an improvement. Between them.

Looking at old reviews says nothing about how it performs now.

I will see how Zen5 does before deciding on motherboard and ram. Those are in the calculations. GPU was best upgrade for now due to Nvidia legacy drivers not being able to even launch some games.

NV claims that their GPU drivers cover gens much older than AMD. All the way to Maxwell if memory serves, while AMD has recently dropped Polaris and Vega, and I expect pre-Polaris has been gone for awhile.
What was your GPU?

GTX 780 Kepler, Elden Ring would not load, Diablo4 had a driver version range, and BG3 was playable.

I've played D4 since a little after launch with up to 100fps, since Kepler or the driver would only allow 100hz over Display Port.

 

[Panino Manino]

Reading the news, supposedly the Client GPU sales nosedived, but reading Anandtech's Forum I was under the impression that sales were actually increasing, with plenty of praises to cards like RX7800XT.


What happened?
Radeon seems hopeless.
