Here here.However, I don't believe in ignoring trolls, misinformation spreaders or people showing awful judgement - allowing their statements to stand unchallenged is too easily read as acquiescence (or at the very least lack of objection). Whether it's a raving tech fanboy/hater, some bumbling MAGA-Trumpist, anti-vaxxers, climate deniers, deregulation-obsessed libertarians, some alt-right neo-nazi a**hole, or just some logic-challenged overly impressionable teenager, they all need to be challenged and met with thoughtful, logical and thorough argumentation at every step. If not, they soon start drowning out the sensible people. Which makes for awful, awful discussion.
But I'm veering quite a bit off topic now, so I'll leave at that.
edit: obvious, argument-breaking typo.
Does anyone know why it took AMD two generations later to add tile based rasterization?
After seeing Nvidia adding tile based rasterization and seeing significantly improved power consumption, AMD should have worked on adding it right away.
You will know why when Vega will come out.Does anyone know why it took AMD two generations later to add tile based rasterization?

Here here.
Feel free to stop by P&N if you get bored. Plenty of trolls and idiots there.
As we've always said, VC&G is to General Hardware as P&N is to OT
They probably come in here if they're feeling stressed just so they can laugh at the utter stupidity lmaofor example gpu development or any other product development takes time and a lot of planning and even planning into the future. nvidia simply did it according to their planning as well as amd didnt intent to implement it until vega. i guess they wanted to but there are so many steps into developing a product its crazy.
its like people think amd/nvidia engineers come into threads like these and search for tips for how to develope a gpu and how to do drivers right while 99% of the people here have zero clue either of gpu developement nor driver developement.

Is two generations really a long time? It took nVidia 13 years to implement it after it was demonstrated successfully by the PowerVR Kyro (I owned one of those) in 2001, so an extra 3 years for the much more resource-limited AMD isn't that much longer.Does anyone know why it took AMD two generations later to add tile based rasterization?

Agreed. Also, given the magnitude and extent of other changes implemented in Vega, I'd say that getting tile based rendering into the architecture is really the icing on the cake, especially with a resource-limited AMD like you said. I am really looking forward to the improvements made to the CU and the Command Processor. Getting high utilization seems to have been a long outstanding issue with GCN, especially when you have a LOT of CUs on a die (ala Fiji); hopefully with better load balancing, this is "fixed" in Vega.Is two generations really a long time?

Silly question probably, but after scanning many pages, I don;t see a release date. Does anybody know ?
Well, that means sometime in the next 34 days if its on time. So any time now ?Sometime Q2 from what AMD has said.

Q2 includes June so more like the next 60 days. Seems to be some consensus that we are looking at a Computex reveal, whether that's a hard launch or paper launch is yet to be revealed.Well, that means sometime in the next 34 days if its on time. So any time now ?
Q2 is from April till June, so 65 days. Still not a long time, though.Well, that means sometime in the next 34 days if its on time. So any time now ?
I already got my monitor. I was too afraid of all the cheap Korean freesync monitors selling out. I can't find the uhd550 much anywhere which was my main monitor I want.
So now I'm just really sad that I can't use the monitor.
It'll be june

Your magic 8 ball tell you or something?
I'm still hoping for a May release.
