… In the early days of a currency, a CPU is powerful enough to churn out virtual coins, but GPUs Opens in a new window become necessary as a currency matures. Eventually, even multi-GPU mining rigs are insufficient. …
… GPU power consumption continues to rise; rumors have suggested next-generation cards from Nvidia and Intel could hit 400-500W. While those figures seem high, GPU power consumption has been rising for years. …
… The goal is to propagate clock signals across the GPU as efficiently as possible and to allow parts of the GPU to power back down when they don't need to be turned on. Improving how efficiently power moves across the chip is critical to overall GPU efficiency. …
… We like having multiple monitors and we like stereoscopic 3D, but combining them is unfortunately still not feasible for most people's budgets. …
… A more powerful pump? …
… According to TechPowerUp Opens in a new window , there's a BIOS switch on the card that sets to a "Quiet BIOS" mode with lower fan noise. It's possible that you are running in that mode, and you may see somewhat better temps if you change your GPU to the other setting. …
… Clarification: AMD has used multi-GPU configurations to demonstrate how LiquidVR can dedicate one GPU to each eye. Mainstream support for multi-GPU rendering is still in early stages. …
… It comes packing a powerful Core i7-4770 processor, plus 8GB RAM and a 1TB hard drive, and of course there's plenty of room to customize those specs further. …
If you thought that AMD's new A-Series CPU-and-GPU-on-a-chip APU was cool, hold on to your seats: the A-Series is just the first step in unifying CPU and GPU architectures in such a way that developers see just a single, multi-purpose processing unit. …
… AMD has pushed Vega right to the edge and the increase in power consumption is significant. Tech Report put Vega through its paces with multiple power-saving modes enabled. Even in peak efficiency mode Vega 56, Power Saver , the much slower card can't match the GTX 1080's power draw. …
