I hope AMD don't see that video. It might give them ideas.Aww you don't like the V64 BIOS mods? That's what all the cool kids are doing. Anyway :
All they did was change some powerplay table settings. That's it. Massive powahhhhhhh

Can't wait to see stuff like TensorFlow benchmarks on this card.
Fp64 isn't relevant for deeplearning...
They don't retest older cards, it can't stand anywhere else then where it was in the beginning :>Without taking your (or anyone else's) words or posts out of context, Vega 56 is exactly where it was at launch as it is today in relation to it's performance vs. it's main competition.
VS. the 1070 at launch (6.4% faster than a 1070)
VS. the 1070 today (7.5% faster than a 1070)
Tensorflow relies on low precision maths. Vega 20 supports INT8 and FP16, both of which are used heavily in deep learning.Fp64 isn't relevant for deeplearning...

Radeon VII running at 999mV, the efficiency is pretty good at ~1800MHz compared to Vega 64 LC, it just needs a better cooler from a board partner.
That seems decently impressive and would be more what I'd expect was going to be possible with Vega 20 (although I still feel like it isn't terribly impressive, but that certainly would make it not almost plain disappointing like it is at stock due to the power, thermals, and noise for the performance it offers). People in the CPU forum were trying to gauge 7nm based on stock Radeon VII which is silly because of how out of whack AMD's GPU voltages are (where its not unheard of to gain performance/clocks by undervolting some). But if 1800MHz at ~1V is fairly easy/common for Vega 20, that looks like it'd be cutting power by possibly close to 1/3, with no performance loss (and much better heat/temp and thus noise).
What is providing the readouts? I'd like something more in depth and comprehensive (even just a kill-a-watt, but ideally something better for power measurement, and then do a sustained like 2-3 hour run of gaming and compare the power, temp, clocks, and performance with stock - and if possible multiple voltage levels so we can see if there's a sweetspot that might be more feasible for most users). And one for compute loads (since I think Vega is better utilized during those tasks).
Would also be interesting to see where it could get with a good custom water loop, and see if it could be pushed close to 2GHz and how the power and performance would be there. Seems like the card has the power setup to see just what it can achieve.
Unbelievable. There is really no need to buy any WX card above WX5100 now. I was thinking of buying WX 4100 /5100. But if Vega VII will continue to have Pro drivers and certification for major CAD programs, it is without doubts the best possible purchaseSo the pro card buyers look silly now?
And that they are just rebadged MI50 cards.Surely a very strong indication that they really are only making a very few of these!
They take away revenue from WX cards. Why would anyone buy WX 8200/WX9100 when Vega VII is both cheaper and better. Even WX 7100 at ~500€ doesn't seem so attractive. I mean, if I'm spending 500€ for Pro card, I would rather invest 50% more money to get 100% better product.
EDIT:
Ok, it's not what I thought. Apparently, all AMD cards will have support fro Pro drivers, but only Pro cards will be optimized for professional workload and will have application certifications

Now I wonder if they are going to ship more than 5k or 10k units, whatever it is. Pro users are still going to require support and certifications for the Pro hardware, but this definitely makes the Radeon VII way more attractive at that price. Seems kinda pointless to unlock this feature with such a limited number of boards, no?
RTX cards don't even do Ray Tracing that well...why address it?

This doesn’t make any sense. Why would AMD throw away the extra revenue they’d earn with the MI50?!
Yup, turns out sometimes waiting for the actual news is a good idea.If you read the fine print, it looks like the limited Pro drivers will be available on any GCN graphics card.
