Quick News

they should bring out their elite logo.. P.R.O.G. Poorman's ROG :D

I've had several Asrock boards and they've all been great.
 
A300 and X300 aren't actual chipsets in a physical sense. AM4 CPU/APUs are a complete SoC with a built in chipsets with all necessary functionality on them, the external chipsets are more for wider expansion, the A300 boards, if they're still the same as stated at launch, use this on board chipset exclusively & all external IO goes direct through the socket. X300 is the same but without overclocking locked out.

TSMC has stopped production at Fab 14b due to chemical contamination which has resulted in 10,000 wafers being defective. Wafers of 12nm and 16nm are affected. Which is Turing, Pascal, Xbox1x, and Playstation. Not including various Mobile customers.

TSMC has confirmed this on a Taiwan site.

This will have massive effects on everything if not resolved quickly. TSMC are massive and this could lead to even more expensive phones and/or Turing. So Nvidia and maybe AMD may have to lower their first Q1 guideances if this is not resolved soon as they will have less to sell to consumers and data center markets.

AsRock, Sapphire and MSI list the Radeon VII on their websites; all of them are the same card by the looks of it. XFX have a Radeon VII section but nothing listed yet, Asus and Gigabyte have nothing listed at all.

XFX did have a web page, but it had the wrong specs. I pointed it out to them on Twitter and it was corrected and then deleted (who knows why). Strange.

Weird, probably jumped out the gate too early.

AMD are going to unlock "pro" features on the Radeon 7 in an update soon.

https://www.techpowerup.com/252475/...adeon-vii-to-blunt-rtx-2080s-ray-tracing-edge


To add value and give it a feature-set edge over the GeForce RTX 2080, AMD is reportedly preparing to unlock several professional graphics features for the Radeon VII that are otherwise exclusive to Radeon Pro series graphics cards. These features will be released by simply adding Radeon VII support to the upcoming Radeon Pro 19.Q1 software suite. You uninstall your Radeon Adrenalin 2019 Edition drivers and replace them with the Radeon Pro 19.Q1 drivers to access pro features.

These include access to ProRender, certifications for various 3D, CAD, and CGI suites, SecureMI security, enterprise virtualization, and more. Over 320 professional applications are certified for the Radeon Pro 19.Q1 drivers, all of which will seamlessly run on the Radeon VII. AMD will also introduce a feature that lets you switch between the Radeon Pro and Radeon Adrenalin drivers on-the-fly (without needing reboots), so you don't lose your ability to play the latest games with day-one optimizations from AMD. These drivers will make the Radeon VII an incredible value in the enterprise space, as the GPU offers performance rivaling professional graphics cards priced well north of $3,000. It also blunts the feature-set edge the RTX 2080 holds over the Radeon VII.

AMD Radeon VII Has No UEFI Support

Probably what's been causing issues.

EDIT

AMD have stated they will release a 1 click bios update shortly.

Interesting. I'd be curious exactly how many people had issues because AMD's BIOS lacked UEFI support. Strange that AMD would even release the graphics card without it. Very odd.

My card actually wouldn't initially boot with UEFI settings so the mobo switched to compatibility settings automatically.
