| teigaga said: No one component will give you an accurate depiction of a systems performance benchmarks, but to pretend a zero correlation between AMD flops and the surrouding GPU components and overall performance, seems a bit disingenious, no? I mean even with more efficient achitecture Vega will offer over polaris, where are Scorpio's known specs going to offer a highly disproportionate difference suggested by the 30-40% tflop difference between it and Neo? Extrapolating on Teraflops performance here seems logical. |
I think the point you are missing is that not all "flops" are created equal.
For instance... Polaris derived Radeon 480 has roughly 5 Teraflops of single precision floating point performance...
The Pascal derived Geforce 1060 however has roughly 3.8 Teraflops of single precision floating point performance...
Guess which is faster in the majority of today's games, even at higher resolutions? The Geforce is.
If you were to compare the Radeon 5870 at 2.7 Teraflops, you will get less performance than a Radeon 7870 at 1.8 Teraflops.
Take the Radeon 390 and compare it to the Radeon 480, the 480 has slightly more "Flops" and a newer GPU architecture (GCN 4.0 vs GCN 2.0) the Radeon 390 is often faster, especially at higher resolutions.
As for your claim of Vega being more efficient than Polaris, do you have a source to back that up? As far as we know, Vega is derived from the same architecture as Polaris, which is Graphics Core Next 4.0.
So no. Extrapolating anything based on flops is far from logical, we could be looking at vastly different GPU's in the way they are laid out and that means different performance characteristics or we could be looking at identical parts but with differing clock rates.
Because... And I quote:
| teigaga said: If Microsoft wants to exist "without" generations they certainly can't have 6+Tflops all going towards resolution |
You seem to be under the assumption you can assign flops in some manner to bolster resolution?
But I shall throw my question out a 3rd time, Can you explain to me how your flops is somehow tied to a specific resolution?
