It only comes with 4GB of RAM on a narrow bus which makes it useless for Ethereum mining. It doesn't seem like it uses the same "LHR" technique as Nvidia.
- qayxc 5y agoThis still doesn't explain why they cheaped out on the media engine side. While I can see a justification for the lack of 4K H264 encode support (kind of pointless for a card at this level of performance), removing the AV1 decoder and H265/HEVC encoder is something I don't understand. This makes the card completely useless for both game streaming and media creation for no discernible reason.
