    So, AMDs next generation gpu is said to have a successor of GDDR5, HBM, at least the high end model.
    Could be interesting for E@H, as here the memory bandwidth is a major limiting factor (as far as i know).

      I think the BRP6-Beta is more

        I think the BRP6-Beta is more optimizing the PCIe-bandwith than the memory bandwidth.

          Yep. The new app reduces the PCIe and main memory bandwidth usage, but can't help the GPU with its memory bandwidth. The latter may even be higher, because the card is not held back as much by the external factors.
