Posted September 13, 2014 This report comes directly from Forbes and is quite interesting maybe even a bit controversial.AMD is planning to crash Nvidia's Game24 event in which the GTX 980 and 970 are allegedly going to be revealed for the first time. And I use the term crash here literally rather than figuratively. AMD sent out a message to its fans asking them to attend the event while proudly wearing their colors. "No one appreciates a good celebration of gaming more than AMD, as evidenced by our recent #AMD30Live webcast and the warm and humbling reception the event received from the enthusiast community,” the letter begins. “In that spirit, we’re intrigued that another graphics products company jumped on the #AMD30Live bandwagon this week by announcing a similar event on September 18th and 19th, called #Game24." The email continues: “We believe there is no such thing as a bad celebration of gaming, so we warmly encourage you to attend this event in person. Game24 events will be conveniently located in Chicago, IL, Indianapolis, IN, Mission Viejo, CA CA -1.2%, Stockholm and Shanghai.” Full email below. AMD may also intend to crash the Maxwell party figuratively by releasing a new GPU or perhaps even more than one. We know that Tonga the GPU powering the R9 285 actually has 32 Compute Units amounting to 2048 stream processors so the R9 285 is not the full chip and an R9 285X will inevitably be released.But we've also recently seen a leak featuring an image of a yet unidentified GPU shroud with the same silver & black style of the R9 295X2 but very clearly intended to cool a single GPU card. Perhaps this is the fabled R9 295X or even the R9 390X ? We'll have to wait and see but the GPU wars are definitely heating up. My build : Glamor Shot. Intel & AMD, Architectural Discussion.

Posted September 13, 2014 AMD walks into the event Kanye West style.

Posted September 13, 2014 Be awesome if they both release their flagships at the same time. That will get mental. Edit: Also in terms of AMD even though I have a R9 290 I have to say the GPU wars are literally heating up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 13, 2014 Wtf? Is AMD seriously this immature? This is a really low point for AMD, if they have to bash nvidia just to get more fanboys. Another reason why I don't consider AMD to be a serious company.

Agreed... The marketing staff of the companies aren't helping the never-ending fanboy wars... I understand that their job is to create hype so that their products would sell, but going down to the level of trolling the other company in their event is just tasteless imo...

Posted September 13, 2014 But that's no fun ! Do you think it's fun if your friend shows up at your birthday party and starts handing out invitations for THEIR party to all your other friends?
