AMD has put an SSD on a graphics card
I'm having trouble seeing the value add here. From the Anandtech article [1] they are using 2x512GB Samsung 950 Pro SSDs which use PCIE v3 x4 with M.2 connectors and a PCIE switch. The drives presumably are using NVME.The demo claims that without the SSDs they were rendering raw 8k video @17 fps and using the SSDs improved rendering to > 90fps. How can this be such a significant improvement over accessing the same SSDs connected directly to a motherboard? The graphics card would have a PCIE 3.0 x16 connection...plenty of bandwidth and very low latency.Maybe I'm missing something?[1] - http://www.anandtech.com/show/10518/amd-announces-radeon-pro...
