Moore Threads MTT S80 Benchmarked Again, Slower Than The GTX 1050
PC Watch has tested the Moore Threads MTT S80 GPU outside of China to see if the performance really is as bad as shown by other outlets.
The MTT S80 is a gaming-focused GPU, one of the first introduced by the company. It features 4096 MUSA cores with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz. It provides consumers with 14.4 TFLOPs of compute performance. One surprising feature of the GPU is the support for PCIe Gen 5 x 16 with support for up to 128 GB/s bandwidth. PCIe Gen 5 adoption is yet to be included by NVIDIA & AMD; hence, it is clear that the technology is still in the early stages.
According to testing by PC Watch, the MTT S80 comes with 16 GB GDDR6 memory. PC Watch also highlights that the GPU doesn't perform sufficiently in 3DMark and abruptly stops between the benchmark. Moreover, the GPU doesn't even support DX12, and at DX11, the GPU freezes in the middle, or a failed compatibility message pops up. This makes it evident that the Moore Threads is yet to improve GPU compatibility, probably through driver updates.
Diving into the benchmarks results, PC Watch adjusted game settings at the bare minimum and encountered several rendering issues. It should be highlighted that these games were run at DX9 since this was the only preset which allowed PC Watch to obtain the data. Here are the results for all benchmarks compiled by Tom's Hardware:
The results show that the MTT S80 is far behind the GTX 1050 Ti, which was released in 2016. Although the GPU features 4 GB DDR5 VRAM, it is still way ahead, which depicts the inefficient performance of the MTT S80 mainly due to a lack of driver support and the untapped potential. PC Watch also compiled information about the power consumption of the GPU, and it utilized a lot of power compared to
