SHOTS FIRED AMD!!!

[JefferyD90]

So AMD has release a nice statement saying that they (basically) are busting the door down on Nvidia.

 

Check it out!

i'm sorry but i wouldn't say this is amazing until legitimate news site bench it, and confirms amd results, this looks like the same bs nvidia tried to pull out of those drivers a few months ago

[Tech_Dreamer]

it's usual probaly expected, B)

There FPS numbers seem way off

 

Lets take BF4 for an example on that AMD website the R9 295x2 gets 100FPS and SLI 780TI gets 40, 

 

Anandtech shows them both getting like 68

[Lays]

100+ fps 295x2 while the 780 ti sli has 40?

 

 

seeeeeeeeeems legit.

[Prokart2000]

100+ fps 295x2 while the 780 ti sli has 40?

 

 

seeeeeeeeeems legit.

very!

[TERAFLOP]

Doesn't really surprise me. AMD has always excelled at higher resolutions.

Remember AMD s benching in windows 8 and with Mantle. Anandtech is benching in win7 and with DX11.

The numbers are sure edited for AMD to look better, but we must realize that on the Anadtech chart above they are probably using the MST Asus panel, as these SST panels are not yet available if I'm correct. That whole story was about how SST is optimized for AMD so there could be some major diffirences in the FPS, but I'm sure that NVIDIA will work on this technology as well.

You must be joking right. Have you not seen these benchmarks and compared them to PCPer's benchmarks. They are nothing alike. Seems like AMD doesn't know how to benchmark. Even less so than Nvidia which is saying something.

And how much more are these panels compared to standard panels.

from what i understand these benchmarks were not done on an SST display

[Tola]

I hope Nvidia has something up there sleeve for this. This could be like the 290x beating the 780 and then Nvidia releasing tthe 780Ti 

[qwertywarrior]

pretty sure mantle doesnt support CF yet

[Scionyde]

Perhaps...but will it really mean that using an SST display will cause Nvidia cards to get a 33-50% decrease in performance(if we go by AMD vs. AnandTech benchmarks) compared to MST? If so, that seems like a real kiss of death for those monitors.

[ShadowCaptain]

Perhaps not, but I have not seen any evidence that the 780 ti cards struggle to run on these dispays either

 

not losing over a third performance and I am sure nvidia can easily enable it if so

Not all of those games use mantle....so shouldnt effect anything, also mantle really only effect CPU limited enviroments, and this is running a very good processor. I havnt seen mantle be that effective yet

[archip]

HIS opinion

[LAwLz]

Like I've said a billion times before, do not trust numbers from the manufacturer. Of course they will try to make their card look as good as possible.

Wait for reliable third party benchmarks instead (which we already have).

[Khvarrioiren]

This is some Nvidia-tier false benchmarking.

[Imabigmac]

It will be great when all these new techs actually materialize into something consumers can use. G-sync is still barely available. At least mantle was able to get implemented. This looks cool but would also appear to be something that both AMD and Nvidia should be developing anyway and not some "unique" feature.

do you know if that anandtech monitor supported SST?

[Lynx]

it's really weird seeing those numbers, and there's something else going on

and sure it is;

 

 

In the below performance comparison (figure 3) between the AMD Radeon™ R9 295X2 and SLI GeForce GTX 780 Ti, the benefit of AMD’s robust relationships within the display industry is clear: AMD Catalyst™ is ready to support high-performance gaming experiences on 4K60 SST displays, but our competition clearly has more work to do.

it's simply says those kinda setup at 4k which i think AMD used to pull out those numbers didn't work with 780ti in SLI.

[JefferyD90]

My thoughts exactly everyone.  Keep in mind AMD states they are using CCC 14.4 (which is a updated beta driver), and using Nvidias "current" drivers.  So everyone hold your horses.  I was mostly excited to just see the response!

[VSG]

Story is incomplete in here:

 

 

 

While those numbers were true as of mid April, it was not so for everyone- a lot of people never had any issues with SLI on 4k SST monitors and those who do will have a fix in the next driver.

Oh, so it's basically crossfire 290X vs single 780 Ti? That kind of explains the odd numbers.
