" At launch the performance level of the MTT S80 made it more of a novelty than anything, with performance barely matching a Radeon RX 6400, making it about as fast as the iGPU of AMD’s Ryzen 5000G “Cezanne” desktop APUs. "
This is stretching it.
This is stretching it. And not in a small way. The card literally can’t run DX12 games since it doesn’t support the API. There’s like a handfull of games that run somewhat well which are mostly popular esports games in China even if the performance is still that of 5-7+ year old budget cards.
Moore threads is ironically the most evolved gpu maker in one key way;…
They took now long established model of Nvidia, Radeon and now Intel ARC of being in it primarily for datacentre, a few bones for enterprise; and bad bin scraps for gaming… and broke the knob off at 11. lol
Makes sense if you consider Beijing’s attitude towards videogames as a whole, seeing it as a waste of productivity and money much as japanese conservatives saw pachinko throughout the 20th century.
RX 6400 was also close to the best case performance. Previous tests showed it being frequently outperformed by a GT 1030, while using over 200 watts of power.
Considering this card was very much a novelty with no selling points at all, it would surprise me to find out that it was actually produced in bulk. IIRC it was also priced at something like $260 until recently.
I have to wonder if these cards just didn’t sell at all, and they’re dumping what stock remains? The whole product release seemed more like an attempt to establish their name (show that they actually have hardware, and are putting work into developing it), rather than release a viable product.
I’m confused by this quote. From a quick search:
RX 6400 gets a 3589 Time Spy score.
5600G gets a 1975 Time Spy score.
Gotta love headlines like these. We all know it’s missing a thousand different asterisks.
Were you expecting megacorp consumer gpu with 1000 feature sets?
Will be interesting to see what their next generation can do.
DX12?
$164 is about $114 more than this is worth. And that may still be a rip off.
Can this thing even reasonably utilize a PCIe 5 bus, or is it just a silly waste of a PCIe 5 slot.
The latter
Maybe an x1 lmao
Competition is always good for consumers :/
This isn’t at all competitive with any of the American companies. Another entrant in the market does not equate with more competition.
That’s why sanctions sucks, we want new players
If anything sanctions were a wake up call for China. Now they are startint to make progress . And i say : about time. 1 country( USA) dominating the CHIP industry is not good .
