Rumor: Polaris validation Failed Might Launch in October Now

Rumor: Polaris validation Failed Might Launch in October Now

Okay before I start on this news-item, I really need to state that this is based on a vague rumor, nothing has been confirmed or denied otherwise. Here's the story, some reports say Polaris 10 can't hit 850 MHz reliably and that availability will be pushed back to October. I sincerely hope the rumor is not true.

The news arrived through Nordic Hardware saying that AMD's partners "won't have any new cards to display at Computex and the only Polaris cards promoted to them from AMD are R9 390/390X performance class but for a mid-range price. Reports say Polaris 10 can't hit 850 MHz reliably, whereas Nvidia already demoed the 2000 MHz marker with their GPUs.

A board partner response seem to be "as of now, no information".

Rumor indicates that this info is backed by a rather large AMD partner, that there will be no Polaris-based video cards from AMD partners at Computex. That means no Polaris on Computex and no availability of the cards shortly thereafter (if this is true). 

If true, man can AMD please catch a break ...

Sad... first AMD arch I was interested in. Was hoping they'd have something that could match a 1070 to pull me over to the red side.

I can't help but wonder ... people keep using Ashes to test for Async, but didn't Ashes turn off async for NVIDIA (on their request)? Or did they get a special version where this is turned back on?

Well, proper benchmarks will eventually tell. nope they didn't nvidia patched their driver so it didn't expose the feature as such game thinks it doesn't support it and doesn't use as async on nvidia Cards but we don't know if it's the same for Pascal.

I wonder what is a proper benchmark? Cause thus far nvfan boys have disregard every dx12 game on the market is unreal engine the only ones you consider real benchmarks?
