I have a bad feeling about the R9 Fury Nano...

[PlayStation 2]

 

250+ hah, nice amd fanboy edit.

 

I know 480 sucked, you don't have to keep pointing that out, but it's one card. Since then Nvidia is cool and power efficient.

See the last edit?

Yeah, August 28th.

 

Calling someone a fanboy doesn't make you look better. It makes you look arrogant.

Cool? yes. Power efficient - it drwas 35W less from the wall than AMD >.<

I don't know about you, but in my world less is still less. 30W is like two laptops worth of power.

NOT my freaking laptop!!! 

 

Edit: Seriously the battery life on this thing was rated at 2 hours on a freaking 12 CELL BATTERY

Pretty sure in 2011, two laptops at 30W or less would've got you a netbook.

30W under load - that means that if you game 24/7 you will save 50$ for a year. Yeaaaaah.

[tomas710]

Titan-X already bye bye with the released of 980Ti and Fury-X. imo. 

Well. yeah...but they don't really beat it, they match it. If there is a card that noticebly beats the Titan X at the same price point, that would be like the final nail on the coffin

it's still more, how can you keep defending something like that. I haven't even brought up the fact that 80% of AMD cards are rebranded old chips. Well now you see I did, what have you done.

And we're not gonna talk about the 770, the 950 being a shamelessly gimped 960, anything below a 750, I can go on.

Rebrands that still outperform the "new and improved" Maxwell

[Praesi]

If i would need a barebone or small LAN PC, i maybe would get one. But since thats not the Case, not intersting atm.

My fav is the GT 640 that became both the 730 and 740

770 is a rebrand done right. It went one tier down as a card and the price drop was huge. How about 290x>390x for increased price?

 

Low tier rebrands are explained by the fact that no one in their right mind buys low tier cards anyway so making them is pointless.

they don't, not in power/fps. They beat Nvidia in price since AMD sells their cards dirt cheap and runs itself into bankrupt.

Hmm... R9 380 is a 285 done better with a more competitive price

R7 265 is odd though.

270 and 270X are gross

My friend bought a 640 because she cannot afford anything above that. Does that make her crazy? No, that makes her prefer to eat that month rather than buy a 750.

770 is RAM starved. and the 780 is the same as a Titan but with some stuff disabled.

[ZetZet]

770 is RAM starved. 

it wasn't a bad card when it came out. it handles 1080p perfectly. Don't even talk about skyrim mods, because they are MODS. 0 optimization.

that's not a rebrand, just same generation cards with different specs. AMD does that too.

but when amd does it it's referred to a "rebrand"

double standards?

I'm not talking Skyrim - I'm talking BF4 that uses 3.4GB of VRAM, Shadow of Mordor that uses 3-6GB of VRAM, I'm talking GTA V that uses over 3 GB.

The R9 290 had a launch price of 400$, the 390 is 330$, they are admitting that the 390 is not the equivalent of what the 290 was, that's the 390X, and the equivalent of the 290X is the Fury, so it is very similar to what nvidia did, they just messed up the naming scheme to clarify that the 390/X are no longer the highest end cards, and the release prices support that.

What the fuck are you talking about. I am talking about 7970>280x and 290x>390x, new generation cards, same performance, higher price. That's a rebrand.

 

 

When 680 was rebranded into 770 it jumped a tier down AND got price cut by 40%.

 

 

I'm not talking Skyrim - I'm talking BF4 that uses 3.4GB of VRAM, Shadow of Mordor that uses 3-6GB of VRAM, I'm talking GTA V that uses over 3 GB.

I can run BF4 with my 760 maxed out at 1080p. So... GTA V and Shadow of Mordor are not games from times when 770 was released.

hd 7850 msrp was $249

r7 265 msrp was $149

 

hd 7970 msrp was ~$500 or so

r9 280x msrp was $300 or less than that prolly

 

see where i'm coming from

290 and 290x were supposed to be the 380 and 380x - fury and fury x were originally the 390 and 390X - that got changed prior to release.

Surely this was because the gpu was no longer competitive as the previous performance tier?

[xAcid9]

I want one..  but money not found. 

 

 

Anyway,
