Most underwhelming live stream I've ever seen.

[Paralectic]

R9 284 and 289 coming soon? Along with the 274, 279, etc.

[Juggernautilus]

$249 for you 500 euros for me!

Well AMD must respond to GTX 800 series.

[Mitrailleuse]

ill wait for my mighty gtx 880 lightning to come out

[AMICLG]

This isn't even the shotgun approach anymore it's the nuke from orbit approach putting out twenty different versions of the same CPU and GPU core.

[BallGum]

Hold on, so the 285 is *worse* than the 280?

That sucks.

[Cokeman]

They never announced the 285X

[AlexGoesHigh]

Well AMD must respond to GTX 800 series.

800 series is still a long wait and if amd hasn't refreshed by then which is most likely to happen, a price drop is a better response that this

[Polyvalent]

So basically nothing?

[Thebman712]

if everyone gets over the, selfs a 250$ that will prob be awesome for the price

[Guest]

Can't wait to see some games on this thing.

[Manny Calavera]

Well the cooler looks pretty sexy so they got that going for them...

You wish. Thats Asus Strix. I would want AMD to make heatpipe design  even if its blower, at least like HIS with a nice quiet fan. 

 

285 is basicly almost same, with "Price cut" ( 1gb vram and bandwidth cut) and a bit better perf than 280.

Like...tech is now advancing in baby steps.

To add insult to injury I've seen WAN show episodes with less technical issues

Considering the fucking retarded name scheme that has been now completely broken, it's more of a "Let's see if we can confuse our customer into buying the wrong card and paying premium"

I thought Intel's name scheme was sort of hard, but AMD's just is ridiculous, the numbers don't even mean anything in terms of preformance even.....

 

Also this was a bad live stream. It was sooo scripted, and that isnt bad if you don't put "surprises" in it. And don't try to be funny if you aren't. The Green team wins easily when it comes to press events (The Titan Z unvail was alot more fun to watch)

Yep. If that is all AMD got for us, Maxwell will pee all over their lineup.

so true! The only who was satisfied was the public present because free stuff.

Yay socialist taxation policies!

[bcredeur97]

i had fun voting over 1500 times (with some help from another family member) during the entire livestream to get gabe to do the icebucket challenge. Other than that the stream was boring.

[Victorious Secret]

Meanwhile at both Nvidia and Intel...

 

 

Whoever AMD uses for marketing, needs to get fired. Whatever agency suggests they keep doing this overhyped bullshit? Should've lost their job ages ago. 

 

Come on AMD. 

 

What a goddamn joke. 

[Sidiox]

What I personally really missed was the PowerPoint Slides, they joked about how boring they are (an obvious stab at Nvidia), but at least then you get some actually info about the card in a sensible and understandable way. This was just a talkshow, and saying specs is a lot harder to follow then to read them on a screen. (although I did miss the first part of the stream so maybe they did show a few benchmarks and stuff then).

 

The card itself isn't even that bad, great price and good preformance, a very solid mid level card, but the presentation of it was dreadful.

I agree...and that makes me feel old, preferring power point to a live twitch stream, but in our defense a rather weak and crappy one.

That sucks.

And the 280 is cheaper lol
