That's not at all what it says. The Editor states that due to circumstances related to AMD, Fury-based videocards will be removed/absent from future testing for several weeks. The most logical conclusion is that GameGPU received hardware review samples directly from AMD (hence why they had no Fury cards in the charts for months after launch), and now AMD wants to rotate these cards by giving them to another reviewer in Russia. It also explains the lack of i5 6600K, i7 6700K, R9 390, 390X, etc. since these products were never sent to them.
Thanks RS for the translation.
Any time!
It does highlight a point I have not been happy with for years -- reviews are written based on free samples provided to the reviewer as opposed to the reviewer purchasing the product as we would. Inherently it makes it more difficult to provide an objective opinion on the purchase. At least this is solved by GameGPU since they almost never recommend cards since they test game performance, not GPU hardware reviews in a traditional sense. On the flip side, if Intel/AMD/NV don't like the showings in reviews, they can stop sending future samples, thus influencing the reviewer. It also means, you may get early launch samples the minute the latest hardware comes out if you are on their good side. Unfortunate how this industry operates.

Well, the CPU requirements, or lack thereof, are going to be good news for my friend who wants to play KI, but doesn't have an XBO. His PC has a Athlon II X4 3.0Ghz, which we could probably OC a little bit if needed. His current GPU is a GT610, but he already knows that he needs to replace it with something more powerful to actually play games.
Looks like a 270X would be the minimum to play at 60FPS locked at 1080P?
Seems so. I guess a driver issue.
At the end of this year i see my good old HD7870 on tie with Titan OG.
You get better translation from russian to slovenian. Slovenian I understand.
They say, that graphic cards from amd fury family didn't tested, cause if they would, test would be in to infinity.
The translation is from a russian:
Fury is out of tests for unknown period due of some reasons on AMD side.
Seems it follows the tradition.

Game speed tied to FPS.
KI for Windows 10 now has improved support for monitors with refresh rates higher than 60hz.
Any time!

980Ti continues to perform really well. It's the rest of Maxwell stack that's falling apart while Kepler went on vacation a long time ago. 680 can barely keep up with a 7870/800 MHz 7950 in some games. 780/OG Titan are utter failures.

If I had a 980Ti though, I would be strongly considering selling it 1st week of June just to preserve most of the capital and transfer the resale value into GP104. It's better than seeing $650-700 780Ti plummet to $350-400 almost overnight when 970/980 launched.
Seems like the GCN effect is in full force. AMD this gen is it as consoles squeeze as much as they can out of their puny APUs. I was going to buy a 390 for Doom 4, but now I just might wait for the new GPUs.
I believe that had the consoles not even existed that GCN would be doing just as well compared to nVidia's Kepler and Maxwell architectures.
The DX12 results are even ahead of what I believed they would be - mostly because I had little faith in AMD being able to push their agenda in the way that Nvidia can.
There is a lot going on though. It's the "console effect", DX12 multithreading, computational heavy techniques such as async that AMD was prepared for, and better game optimized drivers.
We're seeing the true performance of GCN now yes, but it's been too late for 28nm.
If this is true, what changed? The DX12 results are even ahead of what I believed they would be - mostly because I had little faith in AMD being able to push their agenda in the way that Nvidia can.
The real surprise is that many games and devs that wouldn't normally be friendly to AMD hardware are showing unbelievable reversals.
There is a lot going on though. It's the console effect, DX12 multithreading, a little bit of async and better dev relations. Possible that AMD has improved DX11 drivers too.

What? What do you mean "seeing" as in now, the present? 7970s have always been faster than their Nvidia counterpart, sometimes a lot faster. Nvidia played the whole boost clock thing to win perfect scenario benchmarks, winning the war of perception.
I think this is again the wrong way to look at it. GCN is factually proven as the more forward looking architecture. Its merely that its "time has come", so to speak. You build an architecture that looks to the future.. the future has to occur eventually haha.
I mostly mean with the 390x regularly beating the 980, the 390 mostly thrashes the 970 now, ditto 380 vs 960.
