A GTX950 has a TDP of 90w

that's the exact number I used above, and it returns 50W idle for their rig with 950 using these 50W as Polaris rig(edited) idle state gives us 35W above idle while gaming. and CPU is certainly not sitting while ingame

I wonder what the reason is for not having this already on current GCN 1.2 arch cards like the 280/285 and above I mean isn't that the whole point of GCN is that it's programmable Multimedia h.256 main 10 decode up to 4k / 4k h.265 at 60 fps encode. I can already do it using MPC-HC + MadVR so why can't AMD do it via drivers just like they do for H.264

Software decoding?

yes they can do it "via drivers", but without dedicated hw accelerator, H.265 encoding will be same as now: slow as &*#*

My next monitor will be 4k for sure. If possible 120Hz with DP 1.3. But with this concept of HDR, I don't know what to think. What would be better....4K 60Hz HDR or 4K 120HZ without HDR. Maybe it's possible to use HDR for Desktop, non-FPS games. And just disable HDR for FPS games. Anyway, what about something like 4K-75-90FPS-HDR? That would be my best choice for all environments. (FreeSync or G-Sync or whatever will be called, enabled of course).

He's on his way to the Polaris star. 🙂

He's on his way to the Polaris star. 🙂

But it's impossible to go to Polaris, it requires a system permit which is currently impossible to obtain - possible because it's the Thargoid home system... Sorry I couldn't help but do an Elite plug. Ontopic, I knew polaris was going to be GCN 1.3/2.0, that article released last week on fudzilla totally had it wrong (well the write up was conflicted anyway). I'm looking forward to 2016's GPU market, that's for sure!

Same here... With all the hype the market is gathering and from what are seeing from both sides, I can't help it but to be very excited about it. It will be an interesting year indeed and hopefully tables will turn for AMD. I'm cheering for them. I really am. :thumbup: Who wouldn't like a strong comeback? And give Intel/Nvidia a run for their money and make them sweat a bit? 😀

cant wait to see this this in my pc 🙂 anyway why FinFET was not used on 28nm nodes to bring down the power cons.?
