Looks to be AMD's party...They invite who they want.

The reveal is the 16th. How would they keep the lid on if they invited the media sites?

The rants and whines by some members of the media is funny. Reminds me of the kid that didn't get invited to Johnny's birthday party!

Will be interesting to see their reviews once they are posted.

One thing for sure is AMD's offerings will be disected, scrutinized, and heavily tested. More time will be spent trying to exploit weaknesses by some sites I'd imagine.

I say sit back and enjoy the bumpy ride, take reviews with a grain of salt, and be thankful to the sites that can keep an open mind.
Hope to see extensive tests. Curious to see how they will aproach the 4GB of Fury since they said thet the 3.5GB of the 970 was fine and don't interfere in gameplay.

Maybe with the Fury launch we will finaly see some 980ti SLI fcat tests.:whiste:

Haha, that quote must be a typo. I think Legit Reviews meant they are biased to the opinion that reviews matter.
They did word it poorly but what's funny to me is they unintentionally are being very truthful.
I hope sites like PCPer don't get samples because they don't deserve them.
Same, Pcper has no objectivity left. I get the feeling they are so used to sucking up to Nvidia they don't even realize it anymore.
If he wants to benchmark the card he can order one from retail just like the rest of nvidias staff.
I will probably get a lot of flack for this but I believe this is always how it should be done. Do it like Consumer Reports you buy the hardware just like everyone else that way the vendor has no chance to influence the results, no chance of cherry picking hardware.
But man they've already derailed the AMD event with just 3-4 Twitter posts. The power of the media. Effin' amazing watching it in effect.
I don't think anything has been derailed, when the event starts it won't matter what some clowns have tweeted previously. But I would imagine the likes of Pcper will be tweeting like mad with a sarcastic and negative tone.

970 was a $330 card, Fury is supposedly a lot faster and more expensive, targeting higher settings, so I would assume it needs more VRAM than a 970,

So then the 970 should never be used in SLI, or any 4GB card for that matter.

Where did you get this idea?

They are pretty much by now 7 months late, why basically wait 7 months if all you are going to do is release a rebaged 200 series cards?

They could have overclocked the 200 series, they could have put better capacitors to reduce power consumption, improve their boost technology to reduce power consumption and release rebaged 200 series like 7 months ago!

By the time they actually start selling the "new" cards its going to be pretty much 8 months late to the marker, so what have they been doing for 8 months? One would think they were waiting for 20nm to build their new series on it and that was the holdup, that was the issue.

Best Buy breaking street date and selling early [way before product line is even officially announced to exist] [redacted] AMD's reveal, bench, release plans majorly over. What if AMD's plan was to get review HW into hands of sites around same time as official reveal in E3, but now BB flying solo is making shit look more bad than it's?

Also what prevents some techsite going to BB and purchasing early 300 -series card for early bench results? I doubt they have any NDA's in place for that stuff if they don't have HW yet from AMD.

Nothing. But if AMD is shutting out sites with an Nvidia slant then I'd also wager a site that goes out and buys a 300 series card and bypassed the usual PR process won't be seen as favorable from AMD. They'll likely blacklist them from getting Fury samples. Is that worth breaking news on some rebadged parts?

Also it makes sense if the 300 series are rebadged parts if AMD doesn't want to waste the press' time on them ahead of the Fury launch.

Why to openly complain in social media and write articles if good PR relationship is your worry? Take such jabs at company from which you expect(?) free HW for benchmarking hardly creates good faith and friendship.

If buying HW from street breaking store and doing early benches isn't worth the risk of losing possible free samples/HW, but creating issue about not getting them first is good play?

Also why people have already decided how 300 -series will perform and how it's 1:1 with 200 -series and just new nametag? Have I missed some crucial confirmed information?

Ryan over at PCPer didn't actually name AMD in his rants, so you could argue he is being careful.

True, but he also pointed out article that wasn't afraid to name AMD and how they had invited members of fan club to AMD offices. You can still argue Ryan was being smart and careful as he never personally called out AMD by name, and only implied to that direction.

Timing of his tweets is just suspicious.

Or maybe.. they're right on time? Even Early. It's been known since at least April, that AMD would be unveiling their line up at their co-produced PC Gaming show at E3.

Think about what the Fury line (if it delivers) will mean for the next year leading up to 16nm and HBM2.

AMD has been pushing 4K for a while now, and VR (Liquid VR) a lot recently. DX12/Vulkan equally so. The VR presence at E3 this year is going to be monumental. Sony is already rumored to have a large portion of their conference to Morpheus. Occulus just did a terrible presentation on Friday, but they will still be huge at E3. And the HTC/Valve Vive, launching this fall, will be big too, although no conference from Valve, the buzz will be there.

If AMD promotes itself as the premiere VR hardware solution, showing their hardware, tech, and involvement as the best place for this Revolution in gaming. Then are they late? At this point Gameworks VR looks rather late. March 5 for articles detailing Liquid VR vs. May 31 for articles for Gameworks VR. Development time withstanding.

With the new Low Level API's, and Windows10(DX12) launching at the end of July, Vulkan this year hopefully, AMD is poised to be in the mind of developers and buyers because E3 is such a huge industry event.

Now if the Fury line delivers, that "Halo" effect will balloon onto the 300 series of cards. I'm honestly amazed at how much their silence is creating more hype, as nothing can be reliably confirmed.

[/SPIN]

If some tech "journalists" get in a tizzy because they weren't invited to an obvious shill party, then I'd have to throw in the word -Entitled-. These invitees are extensions of AMD's marketing arm. I've no doubt Intel, and NVidia have the same functions.

Next week is going to be fun.

Is that HDMI 2 or it cut off the text for 2XDVI?
It'd be stupid if it was cut for 2 DVI, not only would the sentence structure be misleading without commas, or any kind of separation, it's something that should be fixed. I'm hoping it IS HDMI 2 and that means respins. Otherwise why have it listed at all?

shill usually has a negative connotation and implies a level of non-disclosure. afaik rtp dont hide themselves.

HDMI would be HDMI 2.0 if it was. Not HDMI 2.

Also the card got 1 DP, 1 HDMI and 2 DVI ports. DP and HDMI is listed, what would be the next in the missing text?

It is a terrible misleading textcut yes, but its also all it is.

Earlier I was asking if 390x had hdmi 2.0, and I got an answer yes it has that.

So which one is it? Does it have 4k@60hz compatible hdmi 2.0 port or not?

Who told you it had? Its the exact same card as 290X, besides the memory amount and clocks. Its the exact same Hawaii GPU with no 4K video decode either.

If you want HDMI 2.0 you are going to need one of those DP to HDMI 2.0 converters that will be out around Q3 or Q4.

My bad, shill is a bit harsh still, none of those invitees are actual reviewers as far as this list found on [H] showed.

True, buy why not specify DP 2.3 (or whatever version) then? It's not important enough as HDMI 2. Either way we'll find out next week.

You keep saying that, where's your proof? Granted there's no hard proof saying it isn't either but you seem so determined.
