you can use cuda along with the encoders matrix and variable bitrate so you have 3000 extra processors doing floating point math
stream processors are locked up with some rubbish AMD smart code or something along the lines, so you can't optimize programs and games to run on a normal desktop PC like you can with a nvidia GTX 750

I think he's referring to the red rocket card which was handling debayering etc.
Still circular, given that you're talking about unreleased products and untapped potential. Comparing the fury x/480x to the titan under premiere pro is madness.

if you can convert cuda to openCL and back and forth, then AMD must have removed the rubbish smart code for normal desktop PC's
which will add a whole lot more speed to vega, as well as not needing a ribbon bridge for crossfire, which will push VR to new levels with massive photo realistic textures

You should consider a high performance potato if you want the best possible performance. It beats the 6950x, Ryzen, and everything else out there.

I don't mind not having all the previews available straight away when an album is announced. Soundcloud links at random intervals works for me.
But I remember the days when not everything was at your fingertips or in your face 24/7.
Previews of every track on albums are useful to help people make their mind up if they're undecided (or need some convincing).

A flagship new product might, maybe, beat a competitors year old non flagship graphics card ina sympathetic benchmark! WOWZER.
Also, probably worth noting, Nvidia have massively improved Vulkan performance since then.
Not that I care, I'd go for whatever is fastest at the time. Which.... hasn't involved AMD since the Athlon XP era. I appreciate their necessity, and applaud their newfound competitiveness in the CPU space, but if you seriously think Vega is going to launch and actively win anything, and uncontested, you're out of your already questionably stable mind.
(Sorry everyone: I don't mean to feed the troll. I did laugh at his misconstruing the preview comment a lot if that counts in my favour.)

There must be an actual pattern with AMD fetishists, too. I remember a scary/weird stalker guy called Kevin Dennehy, who used to give HU/Chwhynny crap all the time. He then upgraded to stalking/harassing another scene members g/f as well as Lisa Abbott. With legal consequence.
Prior to that escalation, He actively messaged Chwhynny to slag off her 8 core Intel workstation (listed on her website, natch) saying it was shit and AMD were amazing. I'll say *that* again: he messaged a random girl off the internet to slag off her computer. Whilst..... being entirely wrong. *cups head in hands*
He then went on a mental tangent about all computer music being awful, and kept blanketing hardcore producer posts (Kurt was one notable bite-backer). Sadly he was then arrested for harassment, and when he later resurfaced we slapped him down by linking him to the newspaper article about it.
What is really pissing me off about the HU site
