[EDIT]hmmm.....whats going on at AMD? (and history of 3Dfx Rampage)

The card is far worse that I thought, it's not performance specifically but the power consumption is astronomical when compared to pascal.  This blows my mind.  It uses more power than the 6 pin can provide, consistently!!


Wholly smokes.  Amd manages to just about reach maxwell perf per watt!! Maxwell!!!
That is insane. How the fuck did they come up with 2.5x more efficient?  These are huge massive lies they told. Bold face lies. Yet Nvidia gets railed for their gp104 launch which has claims that are variable, even if some are special or best case scenario...amd flat out lied.

The power consumption is horrible for a 14nm card running at 1266mhz.  I am truly blown away

Spot on!  Consistently around 165W, or higher.  AMD rated the card at 150W TDP.  It's a lie, AMD.  I like how TPU includes both average and peak gaming power consumption.

What's worse is that AMD's ***STILL*** lying about it being not 2.5x but 2.8x more efficient than 28nm cards:


Moreover, the card runs at around 1200MHz in most games, rather than 1266MHz.  Some games make it drop down to 1140MHz - see:
