Any clear stock discount for Asus HD7000 series b4 phasing out? Really hope u guys doing that so I can get my second GPU to crossfire @ cheap price

I personally think mantle is big thing for Linux. AMD+Linux+SteamOS can killed microsoft windows and nvidia if AMD focusing on this low level API.

Who needs windows if you can gaming on linux and developers can easily code closely to the metal? AMD should start focusing on mantle and catalyst driver for linux.

Yes. i concurred. + his crazy OC skill we can have great insight on how far those top gpu can go.

Acid_RuleZz Looks like not just Mantle, OpenGL extensions too... that means future games do not need 'game optimized' drivers.

As for Nvidia, their business priority seems to be cracking the mobile business. I sure do not hope them to drop desktop GPU.

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.

Woot, big kudos to AMD if they manage to pull this off. Indeed about Nvidia thingy, that market bring more profit compare to desktop gpu i guess.


Only the prototype will ship with Nvidia GPU, they will release AMD GPU as well in the future, probably waiting to bundle all of the 290x.

Steam prototype machines are Nvidia, but they are not dumping AMD. News is they'll get there in 2014.

AMD/ATI won the consoles, too, landing XBox One and PS4, putting x86 into consoles. With that, PC-Mantle is just few more shorter steps away to getting early games. Not as easy as it sounds, but definitely better than legacy consoles IMO.

For Nvidia's case, I don't know what to look forward to.
Lately there's word that they are putting 64-bit into phone SoCs. Maybe that's something.
Maxwell? I don't see it.

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. The 1st wave.

Wii U also use AMD GPU but not GCN architecture IIRC.

Nvidia gonna reveal probably a new GPU next month at Montreal Canada and there's gonna be a "Super Secret Meeting Livestream" with PCPER on 21st this month.

NVIDIA is developing something BIG and it's not a GPU

GUys, any idea when the r9-280x toxic will be in stock in malaysia?

Oh wow, i know she used to work for M$ before.

why lowyat shop still not update they R series online price ?

looks like no news until next week Friday

Nvidia hired an ex-M$ to work for them? Some more to take care their finances... haha

Quick blog news: M$ may have conflicts of interest with AMD. On one hand, there's Xbox One where M$ needs AMD, and on the other the DirectX for PC, where Mantle may be a direct competitor.
