GPU Architecture Testing Methodology! "GPC" Testing Starts Here!
170With RX Vega AMD's NCU architecture with finally become available to gamers, but is there anyway to test how much better NCU is compared to GCN? Or NCU compared to Maxwell or Pascal? I think this is a piece of GPU benchmarking that's been overlooked for a long time now.
