The AMD Mantle Thread

SW - Like most of us here I'm very curious about mantle and it's potential impact, but where are you coming up with your numbers. I saw the same pr release that everyone did, saying upto 45% gain. But now you are saying that the 45% will be the average gain. Are you just hoping, or do you know...

Which GTX 770 and GTX 780 do you guys recommend?

I just bought the evga 780. I upgraded from 2 hd6950s and I have been blown away by the performance and how quiet it is. http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16814130918

[Extremetech] Nvidias GameWorks program usurps power from developers, end-users, AMD

Let me get this straight... It's Nvidia's fault that developers decide to use the libraries provided by Nvidia. or Its's Nvidia's fault that AMD is not providing comparable libraries to developers. or It's up to Nvidia to make sure that their software and libraries perform well...

The reason Intel is not producing hot chips anymore

#2 is the correct version of Moore's Law. Moore's Law never explicitly predicted performance. I say "explicitly", because as transistors shrink you can make chips more complex, gaining performance. It also generally allows switching speed to be scaled up. As for the future process nodes...

The real reasons Microsoft and Sony chose AMD for consoles [F]

Once again you are presenting your own opinion as fact an misrepresenting an article of interview to do it. The article you linked in the op, says nothing about Sony and Microsoft rejecting Intel because of poor graphics. In fact it doesn't say anything about Intel, other than mentioning that...

Xbox One games at E3 were running on Geforce/Win7

I'm still waiting on a source for this earth stattering news you posted in the PS vs PC tthread. You should have had time to find it by now. you can ignore it like you always do when proven wrong, or you could be a man and admit you made a mistake... This issue has already been settled, and is...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

That must be why AMD is destroying both companies in market share. Oh wait, they aren't. They are getting utterly destroyed by Intel in every market. And they only have a very small lead over Nvidia in GPU, and are getting utterly destroyed by Intel in GPUs. What world are you living in...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

What exactly does this have to do with the PS4 and XBox One? This is an AMD tech video for their A series APUs for PC. I have finally figured it out. Galego is not a PS4 fanboy as we all first suspected. He is an AMD fanboy. That is why he spent all that time trying to convince us that AMD's...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

Once again, why would pc gamers be worried? You seem to forget that our hardware is not locked in stone, like the PS4. We can upgrade, so if something is running slow on current hardware, it will run faster on new hardware. ps. - still waiting on that source for AMD retiring support for...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

Again why would we be worried? Even if the Demo was running at 30fps, I don't see why a pc gamer would be worried. You seem to forget that not only can PC Gamer's change out their hardware, but also their is faster and newer hardware every year. So for your point that if the demo was running...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

I'm still waiting on a source for this rather big bombshell. AMD "retiring" support for DirectX would be just about the dumbest thing they could do. By making your graphics cards incompatible with half of the PC games out there would be suicide. But those of us that actually know what we...

780/770 sales appear slow

Absolutely!! No need to wait for sales figures, or financial results from Nvidia. Since there are still some in stock online, the 7xx is without a doubt the biggest flop in tech history!

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

Wow! Really? AMD has never said they would drop support for DirectX. Please provide a link if you are really that delusional as to think otherwise. Once again. The PS4 will not use DirectX. Just like the PS3 didn't use DirectX. DirectX runs on Wine because wine is, for simplicity, an...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

So let me get this straight. The PS4 uses DX11, but you don't see any future on DX11 gaming? You do realize why no one takes you seriously, right. As someone else stated, DirectX is Microsoft's proprietary API. It will only run on windows. Meaning that unless you are trying to tell us that...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

I'm not arguing that GDDR5 is not a good thing. APU's are absolutely bandwidth limited, but what I'm saying is that GDDR5 alone, which is really the only part of the PS4 that can't be duplicated in PCs, is not enough to make the PS4 some "supercharged architecture" that destroys all other...

How the PlayStation 4 is better than a PC

Did you even bother to read the article that Rajat Taneja wrote? Or did you just find the article where the author put it in the best possible light? Rajat never wrote anything about "five years." That was the words of the author of the summary piece you quoted. Even 2 titans is...
