ah ic, i am not familiar with xeon Proc, i mean next time if i ever encounter this problem if i wanna change a mobo in future, how do i avoid it ? =X
*
Think like this, if a processor is launched after the mobo, the mobo's bios had no info and hence no idea on what exactly it is running, thus it won't boot.

Such problem will only occur when new CPU/refresh is launched and backward compatible to older gen mobo.

ah ic, i understand what you mean, so next time if i ever buy a older mobo, i just go to the mobo`s company then go to their driver download for that particular mobo and dl the Bios and save it to a pendrive and plug and play to the mobo USB and poof its done ? =X
*
It is call flashing bios.

Not every mobo can be flashed easily without entering post, so it can be quite a hassle sometime.

Rebrand ain't something new what... sweat.gif

Now what's left is proper segmentation in terms of price and specs, corresponding to Nvidia, then it will be good.

Ngreedia decided to launch 980ti this summer.... I feel sorry for those who already bought 980. May be Ngreedia felt the heats from the rumoured 390 series flagship.

Lets hope that there will be no more 390 product series delays from AMD(Always Making Delays).
*
Actually, you don't need to.

980's performance is barely an upgrade to the old 780TI, so it is just a nature for them to come out with 980TI at a later date (similar to how 780TI come out after 780 and titan). They always wait until AMD launch their flagship then only launch the TI to their flagship.

Ppl who want ultimate performance for sure had anticipated the 980TI will eventually come and hold their horse on 980.

Those who got 980 already is either too rich and don't mind devaluation or simply don't care.

Core and memory clocks are at 1123MHz and 1550MHz.Tried to push the core and memory to 1200MHz and 1600MHz,but while stressing ti with Unigine Heaven,only 1-2 scenes left,it exits Unigine Heaven,due to not responding i think. hmm.gif
*
That mean you OC over the stable clock range already.

But what I find more interesting is sometimes a stable OC for unigine is still unstable for games, despite stress tested with unigine.

With all this Physx saga recently, I wonder if anyone from red camp tried the combination of 290x + low end Nvidia card dedicated for Physx?

Older games works but if you really read whats the problem with new games specifically Project Cars you know it wont be that easy. Updating PhysX to latest version makes the AMD + nvidia PhysX combo useless. It worked on older games but not on newer games. Nvidia locks it at physx level, nice isnt it?

Oh, wow. That's really something too BS...

OK, I LOLed and purposely gugered to make sure it isn't right... sweat.gif

As for the HL3, yeah, I also with the side that Valve probably won't bothered to launch HL3, at least not anytime soon.

They are earning big bucks the way they currently are, somemore they still try to make the dent bigger with steamOS, which aren't exactly making much impact till now.

Making a game will took quite a lot of efforts but get paid with probably what they can earn day to day with steam.

that's the whole point of HBM.
to stack the dies one on top of the other and they're on the same die as the GPU itself.
the plus size is easier cooling and more compact size, though the downside would be that we wont be seeing AIB partners doing fun things like launching similar GPU card with lower or more memory (ie. the 6950 1GB....my baby) or GDDR5 R7 240s (compared to the OEM ddr3 versions)
On a side note, I would really want to see AMD sell their Fiji at USD500-600 range, which would/should render all other cards to cost less.......I miss the good old days of the HD4800, HD5800 and HD6900 pricings
*
New tech and bundled with AIO, I really don't see much probability for it to be cheap...

seems like new driver really did improve its perf

i still cant run Hairworks, but it has a more solid FPS this time round

60FPS consistent

i have to say im impressed

In some way, it also proved that Nvidia "purposely" gimped it before this. brows.gif

The R9 Nano is small... shocking.gif

Guess this card will be featured in lots of mini-ITX builds... brows.gif

BTW, why would the 390X to be priced that close to the R9 Fury?  It doesn't make sense for me rclxub.gif
*
My wild guess is that HBM and new tech does cost them some money, but since 980TI capped the upper range of this price game, they can't price Furies more than that.

Therefore, they choose to let the oldies do some subsidizing jobs for newcomers until the price is stabilized.

Interesting point brought up in Overclock.net forum, based on this claim on the presentation slides:

user posted image

Meaning that the Dual Fiji + HBM card (coming in the fall 2015) is the world's fastest graphics card. Which means, it's a dual GPU card on a single PCB. Ala R9 295X2. Which means a single Fiji with HBM card is NOT the world's fastest graphics card?

you are too paranoid.

It's nature that FuryX alone can't claim the title of most powerful card since there is a card which features two of it, of course more/most powerful title go to the latter.

suddenly im so exited of going to freeysync route instead of g-sync.  As perfect g-sync/freesync monitor still non-available in malaysia.  Whichever came first i'll go for that.

That small form factor of air cooled fury really caught my attention, and of course the price.  thumbup.gif
*
There's yet a picture of the air cooled Fury Pro. The small card is Fury Nano, which should be cut down on die and clock speed to maintain such a low TDP. But again, I reckon the bare PCB size shouldn't differ much from its big and small brothers.

If you want the full raw power, I guess you still had to resolve for FuryX. Fury Pro is still have some cut down in die.

Weird, last time when my card was $450 MSRP, I managed to bought it at $478 here. Distro markup so high de meh?

New stuff + GST.

Wait for sometimes and may be the price will consolidate to 290x's current price.

Back then, for 290, the RRP changed once due to over demand caused by Bitcoin miners. So for a short period, our price actually as cheap as US's pricing.

I'm a noob when it comes to graphic card history  . But I find it strange AMD does not care about the mid tier gamer who only budget is around 300-500 usd

Fury x to be fair is for high end level  , not really surprise about overseas price and local is another story. Rebrand for mid tier and charging the same price is almost shallow like what their competitor did .  Cant they learn from NVIDIA 970 best bang for buck until 3.5gb fiasco

In other words those with decent brain left just get crossfire 290x instead ? Oh crap freesync doesnt work on crossfire LEL
*
290(x) probably will get a fast phase out similar to the case of 7970 to 280x so they don't eat in the margin of new cards.

why u say amd don't care ?  AMD R9 380/390x price 200usd to 400usd  and this cards 4GB is 4GB..  icon_rolleyes.gif

AMD Fury/Fury X design compete with 980 Ti /Titan X

Actually is 8GB for the nineties.

But performance wise, I still curious if 380 can challenge GTX970.

I don't think 390X have watercooler.

Better snap up those second hand R9 290/290X now since it's still cheap.

I reckon he made his statement because 390(x) having 8GB VRAM instead of 4GB of Fury. And WC he probably mean waterblock.
