AMD GPU14 Tech Event Sept 25 - AMD Hawiian Islands

[Black Octagon]

I somehow had forgotten how much I hate marketing people. The AMD press release for this event promised a "special product showcase" but of course you have to put up with a long anf waffling introduction. Sigh...

 

[monstercameron]

Crytek wants to redefine gaming? Make something other than FPS.....

ryse?

 

[Rvenger]

Man this guy sounds arrogant that's on the livestream. Don't be so sure of yourself bud.

 

[sontin]

"Our GCN architecture is the best architecture for gaming"

SHOTS FIRED

"Even when our competition is 40% faster since 8 months". D:

 

[Black Octagon]

This thread needs more negative comments.

I disagree

 

[wilds]

Glad AMD is focusing on 4K.
Ah yes, let's talk about the new era.

 

[Black Octagon]

Oooh maybe this will lead to some sort of 4k demo as someone predicted

 

[Black Octagon]

"wider field of view makes you more competitive"...haha

 

[Sohaltang]

Next up.. beats by AMD

 

[Gloomy]

The next frontier is sound? Yeah okay. Maybe. But why is this coming in a GPU showcase?

 

[Sohaltang]

"wider field of view makes you more competitive"...haha

Yeah I chuckled on that

 

[Black Octagon]

Did the audio just start echoing for some of you?

 

[brandonb]

And Finally.


He says that after every sentence. For a bit anyways. Sounds like he quit.

Funny watching the guy make excuses when it was having issues with the titan.

 

[OCGuy]

Not a launch event, just a preview.


They should have clarified that up front so that we didn't have all of those launch/benchmark threads...not really fair to AMD.

 

[Crap Daddy]

AAaaannd!

 

[JBT]

Meat!

 

[monstercameron]

i think see a cf connector

 

[BallaTheFeared]

5500 in firestrike for $200, what do 7950s get?

 

[Gloomy]

These prices are insane...

 

[wand3r3r]

r9 270x 5500 3dmark firestrike /// $199
r9 280x 6800 /// $299
r9 290x
limited edition with bf4

 

[Black Octagon]

R9 290X doesn't get a price announcement like the others or is this more foreplay?
