On second thought, there is something going on between nvidia and valve.  Steam machines are all nvidia based cards.

It is actually kinda weird when AMD introduces this new low level API and OpenGL extensions...  and nvidia is mum about this.  Probably, nvidia is actually ahead where valve got nvidia onboard with steamOS/linux.

Update your info bro. even Valve itself state its working with all 3 - nvidia, intel & amd on its machine.
Only the Prototype - around 300 beta tester machine will use nvidia gpu atm. smile.gif The 1st wave.

Public demo of the 290x tomorrow. Pretty ballsy move by AMD i say but they only compare it with GTX780, maybe not enough to beat Titan?
Will it become PR blunder like the Bulldozer? hmm.gif
*
price point at 780 hence the reason they choose it? 2 same product at same price point. then after oc it beat titan juz like 780? we'll know once review is out biggrin.gif

Is Sapphire R9 280X Toxic 3GB GDDR5 better than HD7950? Or is it still overprice?
*
price quite right if you ask me. not very expansive/far from 7970 ghz vapor-x.

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Oct 17 2013, 03:44 PM)
The price for 280x Toxic is still ok imo, to beat a 280x@1150mhz, you need to overclock HD7950 to around 1250mhz Very very few HD7950 can do that.
*
even 7970ghz has quite difficulties to reach that Core clock sweat.gif
i only can do 1230 mhz cry.gif n toxic may surpass my oc easily.
(BF 4 no problem at all, but dota 2 gimme black screen with audio only doh.gif ) so my real stable point is at 1200mhz.

1250mhz psu shutdown itself due to bump up the voltage. laugh.gif

sold all bro, need cash during downtime hehe..anyway this time maybe either r9-280x toxic or yes as you suggest maybe r290 if the price around 770 should be good.

Lets do some benchmark later bro..hehe cant wait especially the new Hawaii r-290

sure. thumbup.gif
btw, any benchmark that is not bound to cpu and solely for gpu? my cpu is kinda dragging my gpu sweat.gif

What does 770 price point means? hmm.gif

gtx770. price point means the product price will be around there. hence, its an equal competitor(almost).

@shepard
will do.

I predict... sky high price gorging man...

juz don't be the earliest batch then you can save some. its always the same cycle for new products and we shall not be "eaten" again laugh.gif

previous page @ 1080p the performance is nice. hope its true and the same when the review is out by other reviewer.

can say almost end of the production line dy. next in line is 20nm right? this might have some new issue as always for 1st time.

actually when is the NDA expire? i thought should be 15th oct? hmm.gif
to date, how will AMD solve the frame latency problem? tho i did not encounter it or not significant to me. (<- nub)
we hear new gpu, mantle and mantle but nth on the frame latency.

-290X is designed to run at 95c so it'll get hot but it won't throttle nor get damaged by this. This is the target they're aiming for. The GPU will run really hot but will still be stable.

now, i have a Q, not to bash but i did not just get it. we have msi lightning which has some very good chip/components to OC the card the hell of it, but on nvidia, it implement a restriction on it where once it hit the temp, it will throttle down. my Q, what is the usage/benefit of getting special edition such as lightning/soc/classified version when you can't oc to the full potential or till it break down? hmm.gif

amd does not place this restriction right?

Hence higher failure rate of AMD GPU compare to Nvidia and one of the "reason" behind Origin PC dropped AMD GPU in their built.
*
lol. okie. make sense from pov on business. but as consumer, heck i juz want the hell out of my money spent. i even overvolt/oc my gpu till my psu unable to supply the power to my pc = auto shutdown. but i'm satisfied with the extra few fps without forking out extra $$. for me, OC capability is one of the criteria to look at when buying cpu/gpu.

AMD cards do throttle, I tried remove their heatsink, the temps shootup to 99C and it throttles. I managed not to fry my card. It happened with one of my HD6xxx-series. HD7xxx-series have this, too.
*
cheap gpu to become your white mouse? laugh.gif
i think that 1 is the safe-guard (throttle). iinm 105C is the breaking point = gpu fried. hence at 99C the throttle kicks in. but i think no one would like to have our gc at 99C even tho its stable lulz. 90C is still an acceptable range for me if oc kaw kaw. (previous 7870xt indeed reach 90C on furmark.....).
aside this, vram can easily hit 100C above (around 110 to be exact-but google say vram can withstand up to 125C).....7870xt, vapor-x 4get
as long as amd did not implement 80C throttle or below, i'm a happy GPU OC'er. my vapor-x + 2 custom fan manage to keep the gc under 75C on extensive gaming - Splinter Cell Blacklist - vysnc off usage 95% and above on gameplay. (board li-on +20 - i don't quite understand how this works anyway doh.gif ).

Dynamic-Vsync will disabled Vsync when your FPS is under 59 so there's no hard frame drop to 30fps and coupled with TripleBuffering, the input lag is non existent
As always, early adopter need to pay premium.

Asus announced first GSYNC ready monitor for $399 and $175 for the GSYNC kit. 1080p, TN panel and 24" for $399 and that is US price without taxes. Surely it will get around $500 when it reach local shore.

omg. d heck with that price. aint a dell u2713hm is a better buy? tho i'm not quite understand the advantage of the Gsync, but as a user, not really wallet friendly to me hmm.gif

For me, 2799RM 290X BF4 box is too pricey.

which 280x to get? I was eyeing for asus 280x dc top and sapphire 280x vapor x.

Should I wait for 290x or buy the 280x? I suspect the pricing for 290x would be very expensive and I'm on tight budget :-(
*
you can bet that its around 2k+. mayb 290 @ 1.7k or so. else, 280x is a good buy. ask sasaug brows.gif
the price he get for asus dcuII compare to vapor-x is less than <Rm100 or RM50 different. if you ask me, going asus for that extra little amount is worth it for extra 1 yr warranty. and dcuii cooler is good too smile.gif

on the Gsync, its kinda a hefty investment for red card due to monitor. i juz gotten my u2713hm for 1.8k and need to for sell it n get a asus 24" tn panel @1.5k or +-more as well as a green card (which is not so price/performance friendly for me). but if its good for gaming, might consider it. else i'm a happy man now. - Dell u2713hm ips panel w/ GSYNC @ 2.2k? hmm.gif
(somehow i hope nvidia should juz licence it instead of close door).
