I've rolled back to 18.12.1 drivers as the fan curve in the latest drivers are broken and abysmal. The maximum fan control works flawlessly so I don't know why they decided to change it. The new drivers feel like a 10 year old's attempt at his first programme. I run my Vega 64 air (bought on launch ...
PSA: currently cheaper on cdkeys.com, I just got it for £28.99 vs £39.99 on Steam direct, a 27.5% saving 8) 41.2 GB download, yay, going to take an hour + well if wolfenstein says I have to buy a new GPU then I pretty much have to, right? :-? Sounds good to me, right you are. I hear they're really ...
Just to show you I haven't made it up. Maybe ask Cynan where he got it from Uhh.... Are you are saying that you get 82% figure because cynan cited the ~18% AMD GPU number from the survey? As I said before, I'm still completely lost, because AMD having 18% doesn't mean Nvidia has 82%, there's anothe...
Look at my post above and maybe ask Cynan where it came from and you know as well you quoted it enough times :D :D Well at least we know what you're really like. Does 100 -18% not represent 82%. Has my math gone funny. Strange all the other posts have been deleted isn't it. I see you're both regular...
Jerry Maquire said SHOW ME THE NUMBER Is that really too much to ask? Explain to me what exactly Nvidia's 82% of market share really is. You've quoted the Steam survey likes it's a gamers GPU bible so please explain to me how they work out the percentages. Am I speaking in a foreign language? Expla...
Perhaps the steam survey is not completely representative of the distribution of GPU manufacturers across gamers Oh so now you're finally agreeing with me. No, he isn't. You're selectively quoting. Go away. I'm still awaiting you or Glorious to provide me with the baseline respondents so we can act...
Glorious please enlighten me how many people actually responded to the Steam survey so we can form a baseline? I can't find it anywhere TBH. From an advertising viewpoint if you publish any statistics regarding a product you have to publish the baseline respondents so people can make a reasoned dec...
I've had steam for years and never once participated in their survey. It's not at all representative of overall GPU market share and by trying to portray it as so is extremely misleading to say the least. So you'd rather they were no AMD graphics competition and the next 1160 was $800 I'm sure you'...

So lets let look under the hood at these headline figures of 82% Nvidia and 18% AMD. Let's look at Nvidia's Pascal chips first. The most popular is the 1060 at 6.52%. Next is the 1070 with 3.28%, the 1080 with 1.69% and the 1080ti with 0.56%. Bringing a total for all Pascal cards to 12.05%. Whilst t...
EDIT: To be clear, what you are guys are saying is deeply counter-intuitive because there is every reason to think that AMD is bleeding gamer market share. There isn't much of any reason to think the contrary, but that's exactly what you all must be assuming when you discount other evidence that rei...
The Steam hardware survey is a different kettle of fish to market share numbers, and while AMD's position in it is sad -- and declining -- on both the CPU and GPU front, AMD GPU at 18.63% is above AMD CPU at 17.72%. You do see that? Yes, and did you see that AMD lost 1.6% in August alone, despite r...
Mostly, the use of HBM (any version) is completely tied to the current Vega architecture. That means that the use of GDDRwhatever would require the design of a different GPU. Best explanation that I've heard (repeated here, even) is that AMD is simply too poor to spin up multiple big-chip designs, ...
1) AMD did a pretty good job with the RX 480. not their fault the mining craze took off. They hedged their bets on HBM 2 and it did not go well. Proven track record, no, but it's not all doom and gloom. For the money they are pretty good if you can over look the higher power. Which brings up point ...
Whose logic is faulty??? Yours. Your card is a decent price/performance proposition, but is topped out, and AMD is unlikely to improve performance anywhere in the near future. That's AMD's trend. So you're locked in either to the performance level you're at while games continue increasing their per...
If you look at the performance deltas between the 1080ti and Vega 64 in DX11 & 1440p it ranges from single digit to 35%. If you look at DX12 the delta narrows to virtually nothing up to 20%. That's a big drop off for the 1080ti in DX12 and that's where gaming is going. Obviously the 1080ti is s...

I'm a Vega 64 owner too, got the Sapphire card for £450 on launch day. Coupled with my 7700K and 144hz freesync it performs very well. I used to have a Sapphire Tri-X Fury pro and Vega is about 25-50% faster depending on the game. So a worthwhile upgrade for me TBH. Needed a 850W PSU to run it but I...
I'm not a fanboy or apologist but as a Vega 64 AC owner who games at 1440p and with a 144hz freesync monitor the card is pretty awesome. Yes it sucks a lot of power and I had to buy a new top tier 850w PSU (needed it anyway as I overclock my 7700K) but at 1440p it is a very good gaming card. I'm get...
Personally as a Vega 64 AC owner the card performs admirably at 1440p with a 144hz freesync monitor and that is where AMD should market it. It won't beat a 1080ti at 4K in a month of Sundays but equaling or maybe beating a 1080 at the price I paid (£450) was a no brainer for me. At 1440p it's betwee...
OK so I bit the bullet and paid another £135 for a top quality 850w PSU and I can now say that for 1440p, with a freesync monitor, Vega 64 AC is a great performer. In a like for like comparison with my old Fury Pro it's between 25% to 50% faster depending on the game which is fine by me. I probably ...
As someone who managed to snag a Vega 64 AC on launch day for just £450 avoid it like the plague. The card and drivers are horrendous and forget the 750w PSU it won't do the business. RTG needs to hang their heads in shame after releasing this garbage. Disappointed doesn't even come close and I only...
Intel are still thinking they've got a monopoly and they can do what they want. They don't seem to realise that their main competitor is going to support Zen for the next three refreshes. I think it just goes to show Intel is like a dinosaur and doesn't realise yet that it's world is about to come c...
On my gaming PC I have an Acer 27" XF270HU 144hz freesync 1440p monitor and it is simply awesome. In games it's amazing and for general non-gaming use it is also impressive. Next to it I have A BenQ 27" 1440p 60hz monitor hooked up to a 2011 Mac Mini and TBH that's great too. In general yo...
My wife got the 9.7" 128gb Pro last month as an upgrade from her iPad Air 2 and she says it's the best iPad she's ever owned (she changes every version!). Very fast, four speakers and a great camera and not forgetting the great front camera for face time. I've now got her old iPad Air 2 which i...
Don't forget that you have to overclock the 6700K to 4.5ghz whereas the 7700K I own boosts to that automatically. Mine currently runs at 4.7ghz on all 4 cores on air at 30c idle and about 70 under stress (gaming a bit less). I'm not supposed to mention it because some people on Rage3D got annoyed at...
