    New series of GPU cards

    nVidia just seem to have released a GT1030 specially against the Radeon RX 550. What is so special about the Radeon RX 500 series?
    Let's start with the RX 550

    The RX 550 is a very capable card in view of its power needs, a mere 50 Watt. Those willing to spend a little more on purchase and power bills can choose for the even more capable RX 560
    The TBP (Typical Board Power) of the RX 560 is actually 60-80 Watt, so the GFLOPS/Watt may be even better yet.

    *=Normal values unknown yet. For the Titan Xp I only know of the 'Turbo boost' values, at the moment.

    Considering the fact that most projects only ask for Single precision, the GT 1030 offers real value. But when we take double precision performance (e.g. MilkyWay) into account, nVidia is fighting a lost battle as they have sacrificed that feature to boost the sales of their professional (Quadro/Tesla) cards. I do not know yet of the effects of the half-precision performance, but nVidia seems to have made the wrong choice there too by offering Half-precision at 1/64th of the Single precision while AMD offers it at the same GFLOPS as the single precision. There ought to be projects where AMD cards smash the nVidia cards, performance-wise.

    Nice table there Dirk... and indeed it seems in raw computation capacity and computation per watt, which is what matters most in distributed computing, we have the winners in this tier!

    Good work Dirk, I'd love to see all the cards GTX1060, GTX1070 through to GTX1080 Ti too

    Blistering performance equals blistering power bills too, but I'll take care of it

    nVidia just seem to have released a GTX 1650/1660 specially against the Radeon Vega and upcoming Navi. What is so special about the Radeon Vega series? Will Navi be even better?

    Considering the fact that most projects only ask for Single Precision, the GT 1030 offers real value. But when we take half or double precision performance (e.g. MilkyWay) into account, nVidia is fighting a lost battle as they have sacrificed those features to boost the sales of their professional (Quadro/Tesla) or semi-professional (Titan V) cards. I do not know yet of the effects of the half-precision performance, but nVidia seemed to have made the wrong choice in the GeForce 10-series by offering Half-Precision at 1/64th of the Single Precision while AMD offers it at the same or later even at double the GFLOPS as compared to the Single Precision. There ought to be projects where the AMD cards smash the nVidia GeForce 10-series cards, performance-wise. nVidia hasn't made that mistake with the GeForce 20- and GeForce 16-series though. The GeForce 16xx 'Super' models feature GDDR6 RAM (like the GeForce 20 series), with increased bandwidth. The old Titan V's can still be used as a Radeon VII killer and offer an even better DP performance.

    My eVGA GTX1660 ti runs really well, considering it is running 24/7.

    From what I read somewhere, I think it was at Serve The Home the AMD vega cards pump out too much heat.

    One can only hope that the NAVI cards, produced at 7nm, will solve that problem

    Thank you Dirk, this mesmerizing chart has gone and caused me to miss an appt. in my busy schedule. Well at least I am going to follow in Vaughan's footsteps with my next GPU choice! Thank you Vaughan and Dirk!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

    here's a "review thread" for the 1650. sadly, there's no TechReport review. i loooove their frametimes/frames spent past x milliseconds. GamersNexus has a few frametime graphs, tho

    https://www.reddit.com/r/hardware/co...launch_thread/

    the RX570 slaps it down nicely, tho. (tho i might suggest a used Fury for ~$110-130 on eBay if you've got the power)

    on the other hand, looks like Navi might be GCN. again. i'll reserve judgement for after reviews, but at least this tempers what i'm going to expect from it

    I have updated the table for even newer GPU's (and adjusted the values to those given at https://www.techpowerup.com/ ) Some big changes!
