AMD GPU14 Tech Event Sept 25 - AMD Hawiian Islands

[wilds]

Seems like the 7950 is an excellent card for its price point; especially now. They won't be in stock for much longer.

 

[FredNotFound404]

did they give a price on the 290X? I was looking the other way when they showed it...

 

[Durvelle27]

My 7970 has 355GB/s bandwidth.

 

[cbrunny]

Gigabytes? Doesn't GB mean Gigabit? Over 300 Gigabytes (Gb) per second??

 

[thilanliyan]

...because only YOU can prevent Fermi fires.

Lol I think you forgot this:

OT, I hope these cards are mining monsters!

 

[ShintaiDK]

Some Firestrike compares:

So the 290X is somewhere between GTX770 and GTX780.

That stream is unwatchable. It pauses every second, and when not, the people there make incredible long pauses in speech, making you wonder whether it's another data problem or they are stoned.
I will wait for an article of some sort. I can't take this.

 

[Black Octagon]

Anyone know whether this goes on for more than 1 hour? Not all of us are in parts of the world where it's only morning, and it looks like they're saving the good info for last

 

[Gloomy]

This guy is going Fist of the North Star on Nvidia right now.

 

[wand3r3r]

The leak was likely accurate.

 

[AnandThenMan]

6 billion+ transistors, if the reported die size is accurate, that's very high density.

I'm on 1.5 meg hotel wifi and it hasn't had a single issue.

[Termie]

I think we can conclude that anyone looking for a bargain better get a 7950/7970 right now. Prices are going UP...

 

[Crap Daddy]

The Indian guy is comedy gold.

 

[Attic]

he said 4 "x" more pixels instead of 4 "times" more

that irks me

Are you serious ?

Pause it for a second. It worked fine after I tried pausing for a bit.

 

[Phynaz]

Wow, do they not have coffee in Hawaii? These guys aren't too thrilled.

 

[Gloomy]

But I still can't overclock my monitor on CCC

 

[Black Octagon]

He also seems to speak with an oddly Canadian-sounding accent (mixed with Indian of course). Harking back to the ATI roots?

 

[Termie]

Are you serious ?

I'm serious.

5500 Firestrike for $200? Not a good deal.

 

[Ajay]

Roughly 50% more xtors on 28nm??? How big is this thing?

 

[BallaTheFeared]

AMD needs to beat it decently in Firestrike, it's a favored benchmark for them.

I'm not running that garbage benchmark on my machine, but 5500 for $200 looks like a worse value than current 7950s.

Wasn't the $300 one (280x 6800 3DMark) basically a 7970? Isn't that about what it's going for now?

 

[Ajay]

LOL!
