AMD GPU14 Tech Event Sept 25 - AMD Hawiian Islands

[Elixer]

Hmm pre-order starts Oct. 3rd, but when does it ship ?

 

[Termie]

BF4 Edition R9 290X - well that was expected!!!

I think that $200 card is a souped-up 7870. My 7870 hits about 5400 in FS when overclocked. So $200 isn't that great a deal - the 7950 is a better deal right now.

The 280x is just a 7970 GHz Edition, so 6800 makes sense.

For those who missed it, an earlier slide showed the 290X hitting 8000, by the way.

 

[cbrunny]

Dubstep..... with an Indian dude talking over it.

 

[Black Octagon]

The fact that the prices for the non-flagship cards had 'Sep' next to them fills me with hope

 

[Gloomy]

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

Giving you a chance to lube up while dubstep plays so they can ream you w/ a 700 dollar price tag out of nowhere.

Those Firestrike scores they're throwing up, is that just regular? Can't be extreme right?

Also, sign me up for that BF4 pre-order

 

[ShintaiDK]

6800 Firestrike for the R9 280. Thats like HD7970 performance.

 

[Crap Daddy]

Notice the "our" fastest card as opposed to world's fastest?

 

[Attic]

k interested in the R9 270x for $200

firestrike compares to what?

 

[Grooveriding]

If firestrike numbers on 290x are legit, it slays Titan, but no price said?

 

[cbrunny]

This guy needs to tone down the enthusiasm.

 

[Crap Daddy]

6800 Firestrike for the R9 280. Thats like HD7970 performance.

It is the 7970.

 

[Klunt Bumskrint]

I like that he said the R290X is the most powerful Card they have ever built..............Not in the world, just that they've built. Titan faster?

 

[Attic]

6800 Firestrike for the R9 280. Thats like HD7970 performance.

I read the slide as 8000 in fire strike. Looked clear.

Edit: nm, for the 290.

It's not extreme. It was performance...

 

[FredNotFound404]

Doesn't the Titan get like 9k in firestrike? I was hopping this to at least scratch that

 

[Black Octagon]

Giving you a chance to lube up while dubstep plays so they can ream you w/ a 700 dollar price tag out of nowhere.

LOL! Is the reaming to be done by a disarmingly calm Indian man who slowly refers to "getting to itm fast"?

 

[chimaxi83]

This Indian guy does NOT want to be there lol

 

[Granseth]

I guess only R9 290x is a new chip and that 280 and 270 is Tahiti

 

[yacoub]

So they still want to make you pay $300 minimum for 3GB of RAM.

That makes the 7950s on sale for $250 and less a much more appealing product so far.

 

[Arkadrel]

Amdtrueaudio ? <.<

over 300 GB/sec memory bandwidth, for the 290.

 

[Sohaltang]

It is the 7970.

Rebadge

 

[canadiantrex]

This guy needs some ritalin. He's bouncing off the walls.

 

[wand3r3r]

5 tflops compute (5 yrs ago 1tflops)
vs. 4 in ghz

 

[sontin]

So, Titan has 5,2 TFLOPs with Max Clock. How is AMD the first who crossed the 5 TFLOPs barrier?!
