using 14.12 right now download 15.4 but haven use yet cuz of the beta laggy only when driving cars i also dunno why

so.. prototype r9 390x is slower than GTX 980 Ti...

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-fury-fij...wer-gtx-980-ti/

nVidia is so competitive that when they saw that AMD could release a card that would kill the Titan X, they created their own Titan slayer 

of course i mean market slayer. 

it doesnt mean anything if the card is more powerful yet no one want to buy it. 

well if its true, AMD will be doomed... but IMO, the early released of 980ti with titan X performance along with that amazing price looks kinda fishy.. seems like Nvidia was making 'desperate' moved.. feels like they afraid of something.. 

huh? gtx 980ti V2? or gtx 985 ti? 

inb4 sell Titan X as 990Ti at USD750

im on the Nvidia equivalent of R9 290, and i cant run Hairworks unless i plan for <20FPS during cutscenes

Well, this is quite surprising.  So that most people thought that AMD gpu have better DX12 support, it turns out no.  The maxwell chip actually have better DX12 feature.

I don't know.  People been saying about how good mantle is for AMD and gaming.  And how Mantle 'push' Microsoft for DX12 development.  And also got people say that DX12 is almost similar to Mantle.  I find it quite irony.

If DX12 is not important, then why people screaming at MS who abandoning DX development all this while?

Mantle 'push' Microsoft? No such thing.
DX12 is already in development long before AMD announced its Mantle initiative.
Beside, the so called Mantle low level is kinda useless because Catalyst driver cpu overhead.

DX development doesn't take one year to finish, it takes several years for testing suitability, acceptability and feasibility.
I think Mantle kinda rushed to the market. If you take a look on the mantle documentation, it is kinda......messy and feel rushed.
Really wonder how DICE is able to use the mantle renderer.

Mantle is destined for failure in first place.
Reason, AMD has somehow low discrete gpu market share.
For console argument;
PS4 dev tool uses PlayStation Shader Language (PSSL).
Xbox One on the other hand uses DirectX HLSL with dx 11.2 API.

We don't expect Sony to support mantle or microsoft to use its competitors API, no?

Reason for people saying some documentation from mantle is similar to dx12 documentation?
Simple, AMD contributed some of the code to Microsoft to review and included in DX12. It is not copying.

So 390x is a beefed up 290x with 8gb gddr5 n higher speed mem
Same as titan x is to a 980.

N fury is a hbm version of 390.

So question
Is fury or fury x??

With all the technology they have screwed up drivers just brings it down, they are concentrating too much on consoles hence the screwed drivers

http://techreport.com/review/26239/a-close...k-at-directx-12

Reading first page is sufficient.
DX12 was designed as low level API in first place because many AAA game developers are asking for it.
Because DX12 development takes too long, AMD steps in and promote its version of low level api Mantle.

"engineers at Microsoft and GPU manufacturers have been working at this for some time," and he added that D3D12 was "designed closely with game developers."

AMD shared its work on Mantle with Microsoft "from day one" and that parts of Direct3D 12 are "very similar" to AMD's API. I asked if D3D12's development had begun before Mantle's. Corpus' answer: "Not that we know."

He told me D3D12 had been in in the works for "more than three years" (longer than Mantle) and that "everyone" had been involved in its development.

Dunno why ppl until dai dai wanna argue driver overhead on CPU, just go buy 8 core Xeon, kaotim

The bad news if the rumour is to believed, nvidia already in taped-out status for its Pascal microarchitecture......

On AMD roadmap = HBM v2 with double memory size and bandwidth........ where is roadmap for upcoming GCN itself after Fiji? We know upcoming Fiji will based on GCN 1.2.......

Guys, there was rumour floating around mentioning the upcoming Grenada etc will be manufactured by GlobalFoundry instead of TSMC.
Any opinion on this?

Anyone want one of this?

LG 27MU67

http://www.techpowerup.com/213289/lg-annou...nc-support.html

27 inch 4K with IPS panel and Freesync, and costs only 599USD....

IMHO 4K is overkill on such size - I think LG should offer a 1440p option as well.

Update from Alienware twitter on reportedly R9 370X??

https://twitter.com/Alienware/status/608074379604467712

Sigh, how nice if it was a single slot card with full shroud like reference GeForce 8800 GT

for the lazy, i do the rough convertion based on google

-snip-

from history, our pricing arent really much different maybe more 30-40?
looking at R9 390x, it looks too good to be true.
but looking at the low 370, arent that the same price as the when 270 comes out?.

btw this is for ref gpu right?, could be higher due to 3rd party design.

1024 SP, it is HD7850. I guess that is right since HD7870 actually uses 2 6 pin PCI-E slots (180w TDP) while HD7850 is 150w TDP IINM.

Antigua Pro? Wonder if its gonna be like a new chip but lower TDP?

Bro..i thought the name is R7 265?Reviewers always confuse it with R9..wtf lol.

Looks like i'm jumping ship for next upgrade if this is true...

Dat red radeon sign. Me rike very very much.

Apasal 980ti in line with titan-x?? 
then the titan-x is for?

damn ultra short card 

this arrive, and the guy who works at the store where this pic was taken said the pricing would be at $449 (bestbuy).

290x 8gb at cycom at 1.5k, tempted to but hold it for Radeon fury
