    You can buy a really nice ride for that much money and it will get you the real thing.

    Out of the box? Not so much. Add in a dozen mods and texture packs? It can become fairly heavy. If AMD can capitalize it on having better performance out of the box then it would appeal to people who later mod the game. Why even include Skyrim in their performance chart and not list it to the benchmark chart? Either employee error or fabrication.

    You're not understanding what I am saying. If Skyrim is benching higher than the competition then it would attract Skyrim enthusiasts who enjoy modding the game later. Skyrim is still a huge game and probably more popular still than a few games listed. Why on earth would they make it seem irrelevant if there's a huge Skyrim crowd to market to? There's no excuses to list every other game and not Skyrim when its clearly suppose to be listed. It's either an error on AMD's behalf (if these are legit) or more evidence of them being fabricated. My nit pick is people passing them off as official (like zMeul likes to do) when we don't have any clue as to where they came from. It would take me about 20 minutes to replicate these charts with entirely different games. There needs to be confirmation otherwise we can sit here and discuss how well/poorly a product performs just to have completely different results after the product goes live.

    Every other game is listed in both tables, why was Skyrim left out when it's still a fairly demanding game (after mods) and still hugely popular... Showcasing it running better than the competition would only draw in more Skyrim enthusiasts who enjoy the high resolution texture packs and all of that. What I'm getting at is the more that you go over both of these tables combined the more fabricated they appear.

    Based on GCN 1.2 doesn't mean it's a straight Tonga copy and paste. This is like the twentieth post by this guy who's clearly out on a AMD hate rampage. If I could dig up all of his similar posts over the past few days I could fill four pages of a new thread. Watch AMD launch GCN 1.3 with Fiji and I'll die laughing. We have no proof that a GCN 1.3 revision doesn't exist.

    What I find interesting is Fury X is easily beating the 980 Ti in Skyrim but its wedged in the performance table and not even in the benchmark chart. Skyrim is still a huge game that a lot of people play so I wonder why they didn't bother adding it to the chart if it's a clear win.
  7. Opcode
    Indeed, it's pretty much borderline with TITAN X performance with these numbers meanwhile being $350 cheaper still.

    You do understand that falsely advertising product performance can end in a lawsuit? Intel suffered it with the P4 for fabricating benchmarks. If they were going to cherry pick numbers why in the hell would they go with FC4 and not Sleeping Dogs where they light a fire under Nvidia's ass according to the chart? This is why I urge anyone to take them as just rumors (they came from Reddit, need I say more) and wait until independent reviews are out before drawing conclusions.
  9. Opcode
    Where did these numbers come from? According to AMD Fury X benches at least ~9 FPS higher in FC4 against that chart. Rumor is they are numbers that AMD provides with their review guide. Still, without confirmation it's hard to label them anything other than a rumor.

    That's why I always point people towards single rail units. You could overload one of the rails if you go multiple rail.

    Meh, I rather Newegg R9 390X = http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=r9+390x&N=-1&isNodeId=1 R9 390 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=r9+390&N=-1&isNodeId=1 R9 380 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=r9+380&N=-1&isNodeId=1 R7 370 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=r7+370&N=-1&isNodeId=1 R7 360 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=r7+360&N=-1&isNodeId=1 Just no pricing yet.

    I foresee AMD using HBM to make a true SoC for embedded designs. One place I foresee it happening is in the next generation of consoles. Although I agree that for desktop PC's I doubt we will see the phasing out of DIMM slots. It would be nice to see AMD do away with laptop memory as well and just put everything on the same package.

    The XFX R9 390X 8GB is $649.99... that's more than what the R9 290X launched for... It's actually $220 more than AMD's own SEP.

    It's probably like the third time I've mentioned display resolutions since I joined the forum. So I'm not sure if you're implying that I'm wrong, or just sick of seeing people in general fussing over the statistics. It's pretty easy to understand as 4096 x 2160 is actual 4k and 3840 x 2160 is UHD so I don't see why people would fuss over it.

    Not that I've seen, nothing worth reiterating in the first place in an AMD oriented thread. We only care about Fury X performance against the competition, not so much TITAN X vs 980 Ti. Whatever results we come by some having both GM200 products benchmarked in them, we just go by whichever performs better. So far it's been an onslaught with Nvidia unable to match said performance until you start heavily overclocking their products. Although we're still talking about only one game, one result and without any direct comparisons to other products. So everything is still what I like to call, inconclusive. Although I don't mind liking to think that Fiji is just going to pulverize GM200, we'll find out soon enough. Ignore lists do you no favors if you actually think about it. If you ignore someone they can still quote you and pick at your posts meanwhile you remain oblivious to it.

    First time quoting (replying to) me in this thread, I wouldn't call that reiterating. Why bother compare the GTX 980 Ti G1 and the TITAN X. The idea is to dig numbers for both cards and compared them against AMD's projected numbers. I don't think anyone in this particular thread cares about Nvidia vs Nvidia.
  17. Opcode
    Lets hear your explanation in detail as to how system memory is a limiting factor to Fiji performance now.

    You cannot reiterate something that hasn't been said. Jays numbers only validate what I've been saying. There's too many variables surrounding just one number without any direct comparison provided within the same source. These numbers can give us a peek into what Fiji is capable of but we won't really know until independent reviews. According to Jays numbers both GM200 cards are still -14 FPS slower than Fury X in FC4 at 4k. The bottom of the slide explains, we just need to dig up the last few slides wherever they are...

    If they're working software side to try and alleviate a hardware problem then you already know this thing is going to throttle like all hell.

    I find it somewhat amusing because none of his statements ever hold any weight. Lets just say GCN is a shit architecture (it's one of the best, if not the best) and it needs HBM to make it magically faster so it can compete with the TITAN X. Clearly this fool has no understanding of how a GPU even works.
  21. Opcode
    The ignorance is real with this one...
  22. Opcode
    It's not like another company hasn't done the same. The TITAN Z has a ~500w (2x 250w) power requirement even though Nvidia is lying up and down with 375w on their product page. Fiji sucks 25w more power than the R9 290X and the Fury X2 will suck 50w more than the R9 295x2. Although the performance gain is so drastic at the cost of a few extra watts which is why Fiji is still extremely good in performance per watt. I haven't heard of anyone blowing up their PSU from running either a TITAN Z or the R9 295x2.

    Yes, AIBs are allowed to make their own Hybrid water cooled Fury.

    Check the thread here for details. I'm actually uploading a complete set of high res slides for it as we speak.
