It was all over the web yesterday.

TL;DR, DX12 gained on AMD's GPU is huge because of their crappy multi-threaded DX11(most of the time only single threaded) and gained on Nvidia's hardware was marginal because of their stellar multi-threaded DX11 and some of the benchmark show -ve scaling when using DX12.

Raja is the guy behind Mantle.He was the guy that made ATI famous back days, What nvidia done good in this generation to focus on pure GPU power whereas AMD is stuck with peanut profit like console contract.

Raja is confirm to ditch console contract and will bring back some lost share of AMD by pure focus on GPU power and features.

Nano also in Malaysia already, nope not with me. I only have R9 390 and R9 295X2. Fury X no longer with me.

Nano is a product full of potential but plagued with 2 major problems
1. price
2. availability

AMD is readying a new SKU to take advantage of the vast pricing gap between the GeForce GTX 960 and GTX 970, and to bolster its sub-$300 lineup, with the Radeon R9 380X. This SKU will be based on the 28 nm "Tonga" silicon, which implements the latest Graphics CoreNext 1.2 architecture. The R9 380X could max out the specifications of the "Tonga" silicon, offering 2,048 stream processors spread across 32 compute units, 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding either 3 GB or 6 GB of memory.

Another equally plausible theory pins the R9 380X as a chip with 2,048 stream processors, but the same 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface of the R9 380, with 4 GB of memory, letting AMD keep the costs low. XFX appears to be ready with a "Double Dissipation" card based on the R9 380X. The card's new-generation Double Dissipation cooler features an aluminium fin-stack heatsink with four 8 mm thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes, and a pair of 100 mm spinners, which are easily detachable, letting you clean the heatsink underneath. Mass-production of the R9 380X is reportedly underway, so a launch is to be expected rather soon.

fans look like clip on type. Nice looking card

sold out edy

VRAM leaked in Catalyst 15.9. Expect a hotfix very soon.
Anyway if this happened, just kill/restart Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) to purge it.

In other news,

Welp, guess i'll jump ship if more games in the future are biased towards one camp.

eh well i guess i have to purchase GTX 780 Ti.... just to play this game    second hand price should be reasonable by now..

Amd graphic driver keep making my internet browser (chrome, firefox, opera & etc) blinking and flashing black screen when im browsing some webpage like youtube, maybank2u and many more. Anyone facing this problem before?

Anyone hype for the new Catalyst Control CenterRadeon Software Crimson?

Looks like Fallout 4 reviews are in - decent game, but in traditional Bethesda's fashion, the game is riddled with bugs and technical issues... 

on Fallout 4 discussion (steam) saw ppl complaint graphic/start up issues even on gtx 970 system with i7...  so do i need prepare my self a gtx 980 to play game.. x

Catalyst 15.11.1 out.

I haven't try it yet. I read similar performance compare to 15.11 but slightly better frametime in Fallout 4.

According to OC3D, the new driver improve FuryX performance in Fallout 4 quite significant.

There's a problem with the fan control? Don't think i've experienced it. Maybe cause i've the Sapphire TriX software.

My laziness multiplied recently so here is what new this week from Radeon Technology Group.

1. 4GB R9-390 but only for China market.

3. AMD officially announced GPUOpen a.k.a open source graphic effect libraries

hmm.... that means it is still not safe to use crimson? 

im not planning on overclocking the card or whatsoever, just want stability.

Going to use the card to play Fallout 4 and some other AAA titles, if the Crimson driver would give rise to issues that I might not be aware of, then i think it may very well be not worth the risk 

gpu mining malware" ?? wtf.. i  thought it was a rumor malware..  got screen capture of the thing ?

first time heard this GPU mining malware! wtf using other people hardware illegally to make profit and make the the hardware lunyai at the end of the day.. this is stupidly unacceptable!

gonna install 10 antivirus/malware tonight.
