GPU Compute render perf review with 20 GPUs




We will not peek at game performance with graphics cards for a change, instead, we'll be firing of three GPGPU render compute solutions to see how they react towards the twenty graphics cards we fire off at them. What's the best GPU to use for GPU assisted content rendering?

HBM isn't owned by AMD. It was developed with SK Hynix. AMD has no control over who uses it.
AMD isn't a memory manufacturer. They needed one to actually get things done outside of a laboratory. I never said they have control. If they did, would Nvidia be using it? However, Nvidia seems to have no compunctions using something AMD developed.
FreeSync is just the name AMD gave to their implementation of Variable Refresh Rate. VESA calls it Adaptive-Sync. Adaptive-Sync was adopted by VESA and added to the DP1.2a standard. If you want to get technicial, NVidia doesn't support AMD's FreeSync....nor any FreeSync monitor. NVidia is supporting VESA's DP1.2a interface standard.
AMD doesn't benefit directly from Adaptive-Sync. Conversely, NVidia does benefit directly from CUDA.
Reread what I wrote. And of course they both benefit from adaptive sync. It's a recognised technology valued by lots of gamers. Gamers need good GPUs. The huge pool of adaptive sync screens would be a small pool without AMD because Nvidia wants you to pay 100 bucks extra for the small module inside, in addition to the other technology the screen must contain (like a sufficient panel). AMD doesn't. Consequently if a gamer wanted adaptive sync, they needed to either pay significantly more for Nvidia video card + expensive Gsync screen or less for an AMD GPU + any random adaptive sync screen. Since AMD GPUs have been less desirable for a while now, the difference in price with an adaptive sync package would have worked to compensate. Now Nvidia finally allows people to use a non-G-sync screen as well for adaptive sync, so people can go the Nvidia way without paying as much.

Hi again.
I'm using a RX470 and the setting is there. (COMPUTE GPU WORKLOAD AMD)
Not sure about Vega though.
If you go to the right side cog, click and then click graphics and scroll down to advanced and click .it should be there under GPU WORKLOAD.
Worth a look.

That setting isn't available to everyone.
I have an RX5700 and the setting doesn't exist for me.
It's quite possible that the setting only exists for certain GPUs....
