AMD R9 290X has an UBER Mode Benchmarks inside

[Spannerhands]

Was on the Interweb and I found this:-

 

So we had results of the "Quiet Mode" Now some of the "UBER mode"

Official data: R9 290X 4K performance after blasting GTX 780

Earlier today, AMD disclosed R9 290X 4K/2160o Ultra HD resolution of two gaming performance and allows the media revealed a little bit of data in order to show their respect to the GTX 780 is a huge advantage. Detailed data come now, someone leaked two cards in as many as 17 games in a performance test resolution is 4K.

It is worth mentioning that these data do not come from third-party testing, but from AMD's official test guide , so you know where moisture, and R9 290X are in high-performance mode "UBER Mode" run, the frequency will be slightly higher while ignoring the fan noise, unlike the previously disclosed quiet mode.

To sum ​​up, R9 290X 4K game performance advantages compared to GTX 780, the average reached 23.8% , part of the project is to achieve a degree of exaggeration, such as "blood rogue" turned up 152.1%! "Dust: Armageddon," "Max Payne 3", "era 2070", "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim" also were 49.6%, 42.3%, 36.1%, 35.3%.

In addition, R9 290X frame rate in all of these games over 30FPS, there are three also broke 70fps . Specific quality setting did not say, but by convention will be in manual appendix.

i would say expect extra %10 to %20 more with driver updates but so far so good

[MegaDave91]

Don't really care for 4K. How about 1080P or 1440P benchmarks.

[ivhyn]

It may be über but I guess it sounds like an A380 starting when in uber mode.

[LonliestofAll]

Can't wait to see the watercooled OC results with this card!!

[Immort]

R9 290X to Nvidia....

[ShiverMePenguins]

those benchmarks don't make much sense. The differences between quiet and uber are barely noticeable.

[Katness Everdeen]

LOL look at sleeping dogs, the 290X destroys the 780.

[helping]

DAMN IMPRESSIVE 

 

would prefer 1440 or 1080 benches though.

[Hans Christian | Teri]

Until there's an official confirmed source for this you may as well come up with numbers by reading them off the back of a milk carton.

[nsyedhasan]

Don't really care for 4K. How about 1080P or 1440P benchmarks.

I'm guessing it should be about 4 time better at 1080p. And about 2 times better at 1440p.

[ShiverMePenguins]

I'm guessing it should be about 4 time better at 1080p. And about 2 times better at 1440p.

unfortunately it doesn't always scale like that. that would be amazingly nice, but improbable

[nsyedhasan]

I'm trying to make an educated guess. But it will only scale that well rarly.

[totjup5]

Wow the 780 just got bitchslapped!

[needmorewood]

i guess thats why Nvidia is releasing the 780TI

[IPCharger]

Uber Mode?

I think the specs/benchmarks have already been posted so I'll just post some observations and other info I got from the AMD guys.

 

- The 290X was MUCH smoother than the GTX 780 (The GTX780 was tearing like a mofo in Bioshock Infinite, painful to watch...)

- The 290X has a "UBER-mode" switch on the side which he couldn't tell more about because of NDA

- 280X is still Tahiti but it's a "completely new ASIC"

- Never Settle will not be bundled with R7/R9 series at launch but will be eventually. It will still be bundled with 7970, etc

- The 290X was surprisingly very quiet and looks amazing (much better than GTX780 IMO, I love black)

- 290X is HDMI 1.4 (not 2.0, so it's limited to 30Hz @ 4K on HDMI)

- NDA lifting this month "for sure"

- They are testing some BETA drivers with 12K (3 x 4K) eyefinity support which they will be releasing soon

- He would not let me run GPUz... 

- Very disappointed by 4K, expected a lot more. Not worth it IMO

 

I have some pics but they are very blurry, I can dump them in an imgur album if you guys really want to see them.

Just noticed why the GTX 780 was tearing so much when looking at the pictures: Minimum FPS

 

Bioshock Inifinite Benchmark

Max: 56.6 FPS

It's weird considering Bioshock tends to favor NVIDIA and Tomb Raider AMD. He couldn't reveal the price but he did tell me we'd be ''extremely happy'' about it. Considering it's aiming to compete with the 780, I wouldn't be surprised to see it priced lower.

 

-He didn't tell me Never Settle bundles will be eventually included with the R series, he simply told me people love bundles and it's a great incentive to buy so they'll definitely try to have some in the future.

 

-The Sharp monitors were both 4K 60HZ and 30''. They looked good but not nearly enough to justify their ridiculous price tags of 3,000$+. 4K doesn't look that much better than 1600p at that screen size but that's probably due to the screen being too small to display UHD in its full glory. Still, for those who absolutely want a 4K 27'', you'll be disappointed.

 

-290X is designed to run at 95c so it'll get hot but it won't throttle nor get damaged by this. This is the target they're aiming for. The GPU will run really hot but will still be stable.

 

-Mantle will be strictly up to the developers to use or not to use. They apparently have some big name players in the field who will use Mantle. Dice is the first big one but expect to see more in the near future. Mantle is what everyone say it is. It brings a console-like development environment to the PC. I wouldn't hold my breath for 20% better performance. I would however expect much smoother and better ports.

 

-The tech demo showing Ruby with the not so great TressFX had around 23 different effects designed by AMD and it was just a beta. A finished version will apparently look much better.

 

-CPU's running on both systems were i7-3960X.

 

-The AMD rep said he saw the rumors about the pricing online and the most widely accepted prices are ''completely wrong''.

 

-He couldn't reveal anything about the specs. No GPU-Z. Nothing. Just the cards as is.

 

- I attempted to get the price out of him by first asking how much the monitors were worth and then by asking how much the whole system was worth. He didn't bite.

"UBER"?

 

I didn't realise the marketing team was a bunch of 10 year olds from 2008.

LOL, that's not the real name of it, there is "quiet" mode & "performance" mode, the OP just made UBER...

[Stonep11]

Don't really care for 4K. How about 1080P or 1440P benchmarks.

1080p? Everything at max 60+hz for sure. A 680 can do most games at 1600p @ about 60hz, only limited by VRAM

[Spannerhands]

LOL, that's not the real name of it, there is "quiet" mode & "performance" mode, the OP just made UBER...

According to Shadow_UGZ (above) it's a switch? Even more intresting? More than one source has referred to the "uber" mode?

[carolkarine]

I believe that uber is actively ruining on more strenuous settings

[Guest Gazzer96]

Sleeping dogs was optimized for AMD.

Oh ha thank god for that. What does that say about OP?

[Spannerhands]

Its not a word I have used, but it does look like its going to be called UBER mode... a few sources have used this now...
