Red blow. New generation of Amd Radeon R video cards

It happened that everyone had been waiting for a long time: the video cards market was shocked by AMD salvo. After almost two years, which passed from the release of Radeon HD 7000, the company rolled out a fresh line that received the original name, several exciting technologies and … two truly new boards. We studied all this thoroughly, took a picture against the background and prepared an interesting article.

No HD 8000

Let's start with the most unexpected: there is no Radeon HD 8000, there will be no and you don’t need to dream about them. Cards are called in a new way, and this will have to be used to. The next generation is divided into two lines – Radeon R9 And R7. The first – top -end solutions with a bold application for work with maximum settings and permits from Full HD to Ultra HD. The second is aimed at those who are important games, but there is no desire to buy a fee for their sake more expensive than 5,000 rubles.

In total, both episodes received seven video cards. They entered the youngest Radeon R7 260X , 250 And 240. The eldest was compiled R9290X , 290 , 280x And 270x. The designations, of course, are unusual, and in the burned pieces of iron, a tear is knocked out in 2008 and the GeForce GTX 200 with similar indexes, but to navigate the names is quite simple, the main thing is to get used to it.

Architecture

Something strange happened with architecture. More precisely, it did not happen. Both the structure and the 28-nm process process directly from the Radeon HD 7000. At the same time, in the maps below R9 290, in general, everything is the same-the chip is divided into Graphics Core Next blocks containing 33 computing modules and 16 textures.

Only senior representatives of Radeon R received changes. They poured additional GCN, bringing their number to 44 pieces. We worked in R9 290/290x over the pixel conveyor, doubleting the number of processors responsible for the formation and withdrawal of pixels that are understandable to displays.

So AMD prepared for the soon arrival of monitors with the resolution of Ultra HD – 3840×2160 will require many times more information than 1920×1080. For this, they increased the volume of video memory. For the R9 series, 2 GB GDDR5 became a minimum. In R7, the container starts from 1 GB. Moreover, the data transfer tires in some samples have significantly expanded.

Note that AMD thoroughly worked on the problem of output pictures to 4K matrixes. Now they work as two separate displays and require connecting a pair of cables. For proper gluing, the image in Radeon improved technology Eyefinity and included in the drivers Catalyst Profiles for the most popular Ultra HD models.

There is pleasant news for lovers of multi -monitor configurations. Previously, those who wanted to connect the third monitor to the map had to either take models with DisplayPort support, or with a tongue on the shoulder look for an active adapter from DVI. The new Radeon R9 got rid of this need – they added another synchronizer and for the “extra” screen they allowed the use of familiar DVI/HDMI.

Machine

Another bonus is the appearance of the AMD analogue of the Nvidia GeForce Experience analogue, a program that selects optimal settings in games depending on the power of the computer. Build their own test laboratories, as the “green” do, did not become AMD and simply cooperated with the company Raptr , released the application with a long name AMD Gaming Evolved Control Center. It scans established games and offers each three options: “performance”, “balance” and “quality”.

It is noteworthy that the base is created by users themselves – when starting the software, it monitors how many FPS the system issues at certain parameters, and forms a list of settings that are shared with new users. Plus, this AMD GECC boasts a mass of unusual opportunities like getting aces, voice communication in chats and broadcasting your gameplay online. In general, the utility is interesting, and its creators are afraid that there are already 19 million players in the ranks of Raptr.

Technologies

However, improvements in Eyefinity and the appearance of auto -nascent are all the little things compared to the fact that AMD brought to computers with consoles. Recall that it is on the “red” gland that Wii U, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are based on the “red” gland, and this is an invaluable experience for the AMD itself, giving an accurate idea of how the games of the new generation will look like.

One of the first technologies, quietly pulled out from the prefixes, was an audio processor AMD Trueaudio. With it, they will try to return a normal sound to computer games. Moreover, this is not about the audio-filled signal, but about the correct calculation of the sources. The senior boards received their own DSP chip, which took the duties of processing reverb. In other words, with Radeon, the sound from any virtual object or character will, as in the real world, reflect from walls, go back on obstacles, take into account the distance to you and change according to all the laws of physics. Moreover, the number of emitters in the scene is limited only by the desire and imagination of the developers.

Some will now say: “The technology is not new, remember Creative with its Eax 5.0 ". I agree, it was a matter, but with the release of Windows Vista, the company's ideas were covered with a copper basin. In their OS, Microsoft's programmers banned the “iron” audio and forced to use DirectX capabilities, and they admit, not only far from the ideal, but also outstrips a decent fraction of resources from the central processor.

As a result, the “correct” sound in computer games has not been remembered since 2009. This is doubly disappointed that the owners of much less powerful consoles could enjoy the effects in full: both Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 were equipped with special audio processors, DirectX restrictions did not spread. The situation should improve with Radeon-at least AMD at a press conference stated that many developers have long been waiting for a thing like Trueaudio and are ready to support it with all their might.

By the way, Trueaudio will not affect the quality of the signal itself. The chip forms only the digital image of the sound, and the usual audio cards or the ds built into columns/receivers/headset, if the information on them comes by HDMI, S/PDIF or USB will be responsible for its analogue. The only thing that upset the owners of sophisticated audio cards is branded virtualization technologies can be sent to rest. By all signs, in comparison with Trueaudio, these "expanders" stereo will turn out to be worthless crafts. After all, AMD DSP will work with real 3D objects and distances, and not process the already finished sound signal.

Mantle

And finally, the most mysterious and unusual feature of Radeon R is its own API called Mantle. So far, there is very little information about him, but it is enough to think about the world revolution in the world of PC. With Mantle, AMD engineers encroached on the Holy – DirectX. The new API, apparently, intends to get around this bulky package and provide developers with a faster and more convenient tool for using video cards resources.

Naturally, Mantle appeared for a reason – legs grow from the prefixes of the next generation, which will use it. If AMD manages to push the idea on a PC, you can forget about problems with interpoplatform projects.

Better should become with performance, how much – we will find out by the example of Battlefield 4. By the end of the year, Dice will show us a free patch that adds support to Mantle. How exactly this is going to work is not yet clear, it is only known that the novelty will maintain the DirectX language.

Energy consumption

Did not ignore AMD and the issue of energy consumption. According to engineers, the productivity of watts has increased again, which means that the stones have become colder and can work at slightly higher frequencies. As before, a separate chip monitors the heating of crystals, which can read instantaneous and predict future loads and, accordingly, reduce or increase the frequency of the graphic processor, as well as change the fan speed.

Naturally, the possibility of manual control remained in place. In the driver's settings, it is allowed to limit energy consumption, temperature or rotation of the impeller. That is, if you want silence, you can always sacrifice FPS and reduce the parameters. True, it is unlikely that you have to use it. During the tests, none of the AMD boards have never dispersed the turntables so that they would like to stop them. In this case, the frequencies were held at the maximum level, and the temperature rarely exceeded 70 ° C.

***

This is the story of technological innovations we will finish. As you can see, there was plenty of interesting in Radeon R, and although we have not yet been able to feel either Mantle or Trueaudio – the AMD development vector set more than understandable, and in the future we will return to new developments more than once. Well, now let's move on to the review of the boards themselves.

On the battlefield

New generation video cards testing AMD Radeon R

With the withdrawal of fresh Radeon, the company managed to excel. For the first time in modern history, on the day of launch, the entire line of video cards was immediately announced. That is, such that the flagship first appears, and then we meet its younger representatives for four months, will not be. Of course, not all boards were presented for testing, but the main backbone in the person R7 260X and R9 270X, 280X and 290X in our laboratory was noted.

Real samples

Except for a huge number of boards, there were no problems with the selection of competitors. Studying the previous couple of pages, you probably noticed that for the most part a new AMD line – renamed Radeon HD 7000. There are only two original cards – Radeon R9 290 and 290x.

The last of them is the most interesting – changes in compared to the former flagship HD 7970 are more than enough. Firstly, GCN blocks are now not thirty-two, but forty-four, together they give 2816 instead of 2048 Compute Units. Secondly, the number of geometric engines responsible for the tesselia doubled in the crystal. Thirdly, the ROP set has become twice as much as it was giving up to 64 processors on one video card. And, fourthly, the memory bus expanded from 384 to 512 bits and received 4 GB GDDR5.

Naturally, it was not without new technologies declared on the launch of the line. Radeon R9 290X supports the AMD Trueaudio, DirectX 11 audio engine.2 and soon will learn to work with his own API called Mantle, which developers want to replace DirectX. Another interestingness associated with Radeon R9 290x is not needed by connecting bridges to organize the Crossfirex mode.

The payment is cooled similarly to its predecessor. The crystal is covered with a large radiator with a base in the form of a evaporative chamber and blown by a cylindrical turntable. The AMD ports did not surprise – the modern standard from the DVI, HDMI 1 pair.4A and DisplayPort 1.2. But what struck: it requires not two, but only one 8-Pin socket from the power supply, the second-6-pin, as on the cards below. Unfortunately, how much the novelty consumes is unknown, AMD did not provide official data on this item.

As for the rest of the representatives of Radeon, in the reference form, only R7 260X and R9 270X came to us. Like the flagship, constructively, they do not differ from their ancestors. The youngest board is assembled on a shortened substrate and is cooled by standard windbreaker steamed with a radiator on thermal pipes. The senior option uses the usual turbine. Only the design of the casing has changed. As in the entire Radeon R series, he received a stamping in the form of red lines twisting to the center. However, it makes no sense to focus on this.

By tradition, AMD immediately removed all restrictions on changing cooling systems, and almost all manufacturers have already presented their own vision of how to release fresh Radeon. And one of these fees has already been to our editorial office – MSI R9 280X GAMING OC. She had a couple of 100-mm classic wind-doors to replace the cylindrical turntable, and the crystal frequency increased from 1000 to 1050 MHz.

Tests

For testing and comparing new products, we decided to use our database accumulated this year. The test stand was collected based on the motherboard MSI Eclipse Sli , processor Intel Core i7-920 and 6 GB of RAM gained by three strips Kingston Hyperx DDR3-2000 MHz.

For representatives of the Radeon R9, the obstacle strip was prepared the same GeForce GTX 780 , 770 , 760 , 680 And Radeon HD 7970. The youngest Radeon R7 260X we placed on the highway, which was already submitted AMD Radeon HD 7790 , HD 7850 And GeForce GTX 650 Ti With 650 Ti Boost.

We will not list the entire orava of the received numbers – in the tables they look much better than in the text – we will only go through general results and compared with competitors.

Let's start with R9 280X. It remained approximately at the Radeon HD 7970 GHZ Edition level, overtaking the usual HD 7970 by 14%. This allowed the card not only to bypass the nearest opponent – GTX 760 – but also close to the indicators of the more expensive GTX 770 for 11,990 rubles. The R7 280X demonstrated excellently. Although it did not come out to put it next to the HD 7870 (the line is removed from production, and it is difficult to get its representatives for tests), in light of the same GTX 760, the novelty is more than attractive. Third is cheaper, and NVIDIA is inferior only 13%.

But R7 260X behaved strangely, showing too much the scatter of results compared to HD 7790. Perhaps the beta version of the drivers is to blame, but the card was ahead of its predecessor by only 6%, which in the end did not give any advantage over the leaders of this segment in the person of the GTX 650 Ti and 650 Ti Boost.

Flagship

Separately, we will talk about working with the flagship of the ruler. Its direct competitor is the GeForce GTX 780, which came out, even scary to say, six months ago. It would seem that this period of AMD should have been enough to break the "green" representative into shreds. But it wasn't there.

Apart from synthetics, R9 290X managed to win only in aliens vs. Predator. In all other games, she has parity with GTX 780. Of course, not one hundred percent (in some modes of NVIDIA, AMD showed a gap in a couple of frames per second), but in the overall standings, the performance of both boards is very close. A large gap occurred only in Batman: Arkham City, even without turning on Nvidia Physx. Although, most likely, this is due to the dampness of the AMD Catalyst 13 drivers provided to us.11 betav5, so we do not recommend paying attention to these figures. Better describe the work itself R9 290x.

Surprisingly, we did not have any questions to the board. And although we spent only a day with her – not a single malfunction or a glitch of drivers. Perhaps the only thing you can complain about is the floating frequency of the chip, which at times rose to 1000 MHz, then fell to 920 MHz. Here we say about high temperature. While GTX 780 was held around 70 ° C, the AMD flagship reached 95 ° C. Who does not like this business, AMD offers to use the second set of BIOS (switches the lever on the board itself) and modify the ardor of the card, simultaneously losing 2-3 fps.

Intermediate result

Honestly, at the time of writing these lines, the world press almost in full force selflessly sang praises of the new AMD line. For now, we will refrain from enthusiastic reviews – and that's why.

For starters, in Radeon R, there is very little new. In a good way, only Trueaudio, Mantle and the possibility of launching Crossfirex without additional bridges are real interest. How useful all this is – unclear. The excess wiring when installing two boards did not particularly strain, and the revolutionary sound and fresh API are presented only on paper. When they can be felt with their own hands and how wide they will receive support – time will tell. Although, it seems to us, all this will be like with Physx for Nvidia. The developers with whom the manufacturer of cards cooperates more or less closely, there will be technologies, they will be all the rest to the light bulb.

The next point is a modest number of truly new boards. Only two cards for the ruler, which in the worst laying is going to hold out in the market for at least a year and a half. Somehow not serious even. Plus, the flagship of the series could not win a confident victory over the enemy who came out almost six months ago. Of course, the latter can still be to blame for the raw drivers, and the sample itself could not get caught very high quality (our card was clearly analyzed), but at the moment the Radeon R9 290X does not look like an unambiguous leader in the industry. He only has a serious advantage – a huge rasterization block, which should be useful for monitors with Ultra HD resolution. However, given their price at 300,000 rubles, this will be needed by a very limited number of users.

***

In principle, AMD could turn the situation if I went along the beaten path and set low prices for its developments. However, she was able to do this only for some boards. Only R9 270X and R9 280X look profitable – while maintaining price tags, these are the best offers in the market.

But R9 290X was officially estimated at 19,990 rubles. At the time of the card is only 1000 rubles cheaper than the GTX 780 (in the USA there was more – about 3,000 rubles in AMD). However, even such an advantage did not last long. Literally for the delivery of the number NVIDIA announced a decrease in prices and threw off the cost of the GTX 780 to 17,990 rubles, and the GTX 770 – from 13,000 to 11,990 rubles. In the same place, at 21,000 rubles, the GeForce GTX 780 TI has already been announced, which we will talk about in the next issue.

As a result, according to Radeon R, the conclusion is as follows. Yes, cards do not cause abundant salivation and a sharp desire to break into the nearest store and lower the carefully stored stored there. However, we must pay tribute to AMD, she returned competition to the market and again gave us the right to choose, and this is worth a lot.
