0:33 that sound effect and the AMD logo looks epic should stuck with that forever

I know people are interested in this as a general purpose boost for all games but as an experimental game dev this feature sounds extremely promising for a particular "retro" use case of mine, being the storage of 2D "Tile Map" data in GPU texture memory so that a shader can draw tiles by reading this data. The main reason for this technique is that it makes it possible to draw massive tile maps (up to the size of the max texture size your GPU can handle, generally 8x8k) at very high framerate even when fully zoomed out. Traditional tile map rendering requires chunking, LODs and CPU optimizations and even then it usually can't go past 1024x1024 tiles rendered at above 30 FPS.

Currently this technique has a huge bottleneck when it comes to memory transfers, although using small copy buffers can reduce the latency for use in city builder type games when editing small areas of the texture. Redrawing large portions of the map (texture) can take 500+ ms and destroy framerate. Hopefully AMD SAM can help remedy that bottleneck!

If only we had SMART ACCESS to STOCK (sigh)

[trytoneee]

Since Nvidia is going to add it on every gpu with every cpu AMD should do that too

This is seriously good for essentially free performance if you have the right hardware. Especially in competitive and high framerate gaming this could make quite the difference

I'm still hopeful that Smart Access Memory will be available for the RX 500 series at the very least, it would help a lot of people to have that fps boost even if it's slight + FSR compatible games

I think it sounds like a good feature, and I look forward to trying it. I'd love to build a sff 6800 and 5600x when the parts become available.

CPU and GPU desktop is good, now let's bring on them to laptop. Waiting your show at ces 2021 😁😍😘

[PulsarTECH]

Really makes sense now to get a 6800XT with a 5900X with the Smart Memory Access when it becomes available of course!

[reprimand]

Well at least we have AMD mountain bike, to fetch our own SAM at the bus stop now

[sRxcss]

Got my 5800 yesterday, now I will still wait to get my hands on a 6800xt. after 7 years my i7 4790k + 980ti can go in pension

Radeon RX 6900 XT Launches
The Next Hour: *G O N E*

[stahmedpendragonguinevere]

Great video, so about the stock of cards...

[Boorock]

Enabled on Ryzen 3000 series, Now !
Thanks AMD

[Youch]

I got the bios update on my Asus B550 F Gaming, Ryzen 5 5600X, and Rx 6800 👌

[tonkatoytruck]

Now, if I could only get a 6800XT and a 5600X.

[mvpyoutube]

I can’t tell if this is for us since the stock is dead

[heisenwarg]

Wow Naice The Smart Access Memory Now It will be a Great Experience

[ThunderGod]

Now available, right, that's a joke.

[sturmim]

Is it working with X370 Boards combined with Ryzen 1000 Series now?
