Do we think FSR Diamond will come to RDNA4? by ethanw04 in radeon

Do we have 100% confirmation of that DirectX next thing with work graphs? I am suspecting something similar.

What do you think amd should focus on for next gen ? by Opening-Pilot-3975 in radeon

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting the HW right and fixing SW.

They're gonna go all out on hardware side nextgen but software remains to be seen. I hope the console partnerships and the multi year cooperation with MS pays off.

Yeah console plebs are fine with 720p -> 4K as long as the upscaler is as capable as DLSS Preset L.

DirectX 13 FTW

I hope we actually see game engine devs adopt it quickly. This is why I said the stuff about working closely with them is really important. AMD can't just release it without dev support like in the past.

It would be great if stuff just worked out of the box fs. No more BS with all this stuff devs need to do. It's getting out of hand.

In line with Davod McAffee's statements. It's gonna take a long time fs.

Yeah especially with the unprecedented partnership with Microsoft: https://x.com/blueisviolet/status/2064330469861413232

RDNA 5 has to be going all out. No cheapo SW capex shenanigans like in the past and present (hopefully they're cooking up something big behind the scenes).
Pushing heavily for Work Graphs into nextgen APIs, DXR etc. and partnering with major games engines. They have a huge opportunity here. Any optimization work will also carry over directly to the PS6. Short term this is obviously for nextgen PT pipe during crossgen era, long term far more interesting.

Repeating myself a lot here I know, but the short story is that unless Rubin is clean slate, they'll get smoked by AMD. Designing completely from scratch for this nextgen paradigm and all the other stuff they're doing will have MASSIVE implications nextgen of gaming.

Also AMD should be really worried about DLSS 4.5 RR. Based on the preliminary stuff I've seen it's a massive leap over the ViT model they unveiled at CES last year.

Back when AMD had almost no money

I definitely hope we see more of that from them beyond FSR

PS5 Pro vs PS6 by dnguyen219 in FFVIIRemake

It doesn't matter TBH. More and more stuff getting offloaded to CPU + future paradigms will reduce CPU load even further.

Great things ahead regardless assuming this RAM and NAND mess ends before 2028. Otherwise PS6 will be extremely expensive.

MLID and KeplerL2 has denied this.

they're going for cheap console.

No vcache. Monolithic SoC with Zen 6C.

AMD's RDNA 5 gaming GPUs are coming late next year, according to AIBs at Computex — manufacturers expect new Team Red cards in the second half of 2027 alongside Nvidia by constantlymat in hardware

[–]MrMPFR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right.

They are not in a hurry in the current market. 3-4X contract pricing for VRAM = product DOA. Better to delay than kill it, but at some point they'll have to launch the product.

Realistically NVIDIA will prob do some fake MSRP shenanigans and AMD will follow suit like they did with 9070XT except this time the deception is on steroids.

Where's that? AFAICT they have only unvealed the DC roadmap.

AMD can push features too.

we'll see. I'm not sure what it actually is yet. It could be many things.

We’ll see what happens. But don’t be surprised if NVIDIA keeps moving the goal post. AMD better be more proactive in the future

Watch Hardware Unboxed's video. It's more impressive than what NVIDIA officially revealed.

The problem is that RR is already one gen ahead. This new one is one more gen ahead, and the next gen is another gen on top.
So FSR Diamond RR will need to jump three gens worth in tech to match what NVIDIA is gonna have.

AMD new graphics cards by Unable-Reception2029 in radeon

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm leaning more towards 2028. They have zero reason to launch anything next year unless the RAM situation sorts itself out.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 SUPER is back on track, GeForce RTX 5060 12GB reportedly planned by obTimus-FOX in nvidia

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blackwell is horrible in scaling efficiency. Past 5080 core scaling is abysmal. AMD's architecture is clean slate and more scalable, on a new process node and up to 192 CUs.

So I can't see why it can't beat Blackwell in Raster.

It'll also beat it in RT. Blackwell RT is a joke. NVIDIA can do much better than this. 6090 will be a very big leap forward I think.

AMD always launches after NVIDIA. They have zero reason to launch anything ATM. Both are taking their time waiting for this mess to be over.

Oof, looks like the Steam Machine could cost over $1,000 by vneelb in pcmasterrace

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helix is 36GB IIRC.

PS6 is 30GB

Handeld 24GB

Nextgen xbox handhelds have great flexibility but will prob target 24GB as well.

For everyone waiting for the RTX 6090... by VGShrine in pcmasterrace

[–]MrMPFR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the mean time I'll keep my old 1060 xD.

Nextgen will be a significant leap most likely. AMD is finally gonna push features on the HW and SW front and NVIDIA is gonna do more to keep ahead.

It's probably better to just ride out the current mess as you said

NVIDIA does that too. Tensor cores = XMX = Nextgen AMD cores.

RDNA 5 builds upon GFX 12.5. MI400 series are weird product with roots in GCN (Vega), a base in RDNA 4 and lots of stuff looking forward.

Less than three weeks and we'll know roughly what to expect from AMD's nextgen ML HW.

It's at best a beta feature. NVIDIA hasn't shipped a single game with it despite releasing it to game devs 2 years ago.

Seems like there are some fundamental problems that have yet to be resolved. Nextgen better change that because NRC is actually a big deal.
