    DirectStorage for PC will support PCIe 3.0 NVMe drives, too. All DirectX 12 compatible HW will support the feature. Confirmed by Microsoft.

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 11:21 AM PDT

    During the DirectStorage presentation, in the chat, a Microsoft employee confirmed that PCIe 3.0 drives, and all DX12 compatible GPUs, will support DirectStorage. They did state that DirectX 12 Ultimate GPUs would offer the best experience, though.

    There will be a limited developer preview of DirectStorage this summer.

    I would assume that this means we might get the full release in the 21H2 update, but that's just a guess.

    Here are some slides from the presentation:

    Need help understanding how Apple M1 GPU's TBDR works

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 01:21 PM PDT

    Hi, not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm trying to write a bit about the tile-based deferred rendering (TBDR) technique that Apple uses in their integrated GPUs. Specifically, I would like to relate it to parallel processing. I figured this next quote from Apple would help, if I could understand it.

    "TBDR allows the vertex and fragment stages to run asynchronously—providing significant performance improvements over IM. While running the fragment stage of a render pass, the hardware executes the vertex stage of a future render pass in parallel" from Understanding GPU Family 4.

    I believe it's related to the way they show their workload scheduling in this video at 4:20 😏. But, I still don't understand.

    Based on the quote and diagram in the video, I am thinking that it is a bit like pipelining. In the diagram, the vertex stage is running for one tile, the render stage is running for another, and the compute stage for yet another. But, I may be way off base here. And I still don't know how that part specifically compares to IM.

    I'm still very new to all this, so any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

    GPU prices

    Posted: 21 Apr 2021 02:19 AM PDT

    So, i have a discount on pc parts of my preference until the end of July and I was thinking of building a desktop (currently using laptop). I checked for prices and i was completely shocked when i saw GPU prices. This is absolutely surreal. I read what is happening and stuff. Are we expecting any changes in the next months? Do you think a drastic change might happen until the end of July?

    Re-release Radeon VII as a crypto-miner card?

    Posted: 20 Apr 2021 03:34 AM PDT

    The title says it. Why doesn't AMD re-release that card for crypto-miners?

    It would have quite a few benefits:

    1. It does 100 MH/s at 200W. It's about the same that RTX 3090 does but at 2/3 the power!
    2. The die-size is 331 mm² vs 520 mm² for the RX 6800 series so they could make more per wafer (it uses the same TSMC process AMD already has allocations for)
    3. Should the Crypto market crash, it won't disturb gaming card sales all that much (it is barely faster than the 5700XT and doesn't have newest features)
    4. It has a very similar cooler to RX 6800 series (but the new one is much improved) so they could probably even repurpose the same cooler production line with minimal changes.

    One downside is obviously that it's costlier and more complicated to make as it requires an interposer and HBM2.

    Then again, that means that it wouldn't eat into limited GDDR6 supply and considering they were able to sell those for $700 at the time, cost shouldn't really be a problem. I mean, they could easily charge €2000 MSRP for it by now and it would still sell like hotcakes.

    Gamers would get their cards, miners their own. Everybody would win ...

    Do they have similar speed after running out of cache? Is speed when out of cache the same no matter how much storage is left?
