Considering that AMD will be dropping the 380x (or whatever its called) within a month or two of this, I will just wait and see, I want supreme performance for witcher 3, but im not paying over 1k for a card when direct competition is so close.
Have you guys seen Sapphires teaser video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CyUUj9eLFo&feature=youtu.be
Looks like somethings coming in Jan, no idea what though.
Although I have only owned Nvidia cards, I can honestly say I will buy whichever card is the single fastest single GPU AMD or Nvidia, especially if we start seeing good 4k performance.
The prospect of a price war lowering prices and having both companies compete for my money just makes it...
I thought G-sync required a module to be installed? Or was I wrong? Either way I will wait until there are comprehensive reviews of both technologies. I don't think G-Sync or Freesync alone would be a major buying point for me. I am more concerned with pure performance.
Thats... thats ultra? The textures look so generic... so bland... Peoples clothes are clipping through each other... This looks worse than Witcher 2 and that came out ages ago. Hell, Far Cry 4 was released today and it looks much prettier than this. What engine is this based on? Its long in the...
If you guys have any bluetooth stuff or joysticks plugged in you can try unplugging them. My buddy was crashing whenever he clicked "new game" and he fixed it by unplugging his joystick. No idea. That said, it really is just a prettier far cry 3 with coop, which is nice I spose. Nothing to...
Yes, you read correctly, Ubisoft is blaming AMD for making such a horrid game. If only AMD was working on their next gen flagships instead of sabotaging Ubisoft!!!! :rolleyes:

Between this, the review...
Looks good to me. I wonder if they will drop it before the end of the year... Ill wait until I see the 4k benchmarks and then probably buy if it performs well enough...
Can we not turn this into yet another AMD vs Nvidia slugging match? Both companies have their differences and both perform well at different things in different conditions...
Just my two cents...
We already have a couple threads for this :-)

I am not familiar enough with the ins and outs of discrete GPU's to know this... Where does memory speed and bus truly come into play vs having a faster chip? I'm assuming higher resolutions are where it is most important? Also doesnt HBM not have to be as "fast" being that there is more...
Can anyone familiar with HBM advise how this will affect GPU performance? I know that the 290x has a wider bus than the 780ti and that contributed to better performance @ higher resolutions... Just wondering at the implications of having so much more bandwidth...
Supposed GM200 specs and benches leak: http://wccftech.com/alleged-gtx-titan-x-specs-benchmarks-leak-sisoft-sandra/
"If the benchmark is truly of the next Maxwell Flagship, then we are looking at a CUDA Core count of 3072 in 24 SMMs. Since there are 24 Streaming Maxwell Processors and each SMM...
After seeing how a moderately OCed 980 performs at 4k, I would say that GM200 may just be it, provided it delivers on the 30-50% boost its supposedly capable of.
I would love AMD to hurry up and get its next gen cards out to promote some competition. When either company stagnates it always...
GM200 may possibly be pretty amazing, 28nm or no... Based on the specs that were leaked. Its a brute force approach with a massive chip, but I don't really care about perf/watt, I want maximum performance and damn everything else.
I am still cautiously optimistic about HBM on AMD's side.
That...

Skyn3t is working on the BIOS and NVflash is now working so it shouldnt be too much longer: http://www.overclock.net/t/1513920/official-nvidia-gtx-980-owners-club
The 980 will probably OC like crazy with the unlocked BIOS... That said the 290x CF under water will probably be the best bang for...
Thanks, I am assuming that there are very few situations where 4GB is insufficient @ 4k resolutions? I would guess that mostly its just uncompressed textures from poorly made console ports.
EDIT: I guess this definately means we wont be seeing any flagship announcements out of AMD till next...

Yes please forgive the videocardz link, but apparently the source is Sweclockers. So, is this a PR stunt or is this actually useful for 2k/4k resolutions? Perhaps they are responding to rumors of the 8gb 980s that...
I still think GM200 has a good chance, the 390x doesnt count since thats supposedly 20nm I guess. You bring up a good point with next gen PC titles. It will be interesting to see how Witcher 3 (I know its also a console release) in 4k is handled by current gen (whatever is out in Feb) since it...
I agree its not viable for serious gaming at this time but it IS very close. I disagree on needing 20nm. If the GM200 specs are correct that should be able to handle it nicely and thats on 28nm.
Edit: also arent the "20nm" gpus really just 16nm FF?
Xfire 290x is a really good value now for the money now that the price cuts have come into effect.
Speaking of Nvidia drivers, the whole dropped frames issue with maxwell is a bit disconcerting.
That said I am just hating life because I have the upgrade itch but I have a 780 and no real...
I agree 110% This is the most frustrating thing, that there has been no real change in 4k performance for a year. This again illustrates why the 9 series has been so disappointing for me, especially since you can pick up the 290x now for far less. These price cuts coupled with the general...
