Hope sony and Microsoft dont gimp on the thermal grease this time. Motherfucking HeGrease!!!!!!!!
What is stopping the "new card" from overclocking?

Works fine for me on the new frame rating drivers, but my 5850s are ancient.

even the apps have constant patching. It drove me nuts last weekend loading up apps to see if I wanted them or clear HD space.
I very excited to see what the 7850 replacement delivers.
It's already a reality for those with above decent jobs that are enthusiasts.
If this is legit it just made my decisions for a new build next spring a great deal more difficult.
I've been sticking with AMD for years now but the trend of games using PhysX support for nvidia cards while no equivalent function is available on AMD has been pushing me towards the nvidia camp.

Isn't the main reason why Company of Heroes 2 is running slow on these benches because they have SSAA on?
Witcher 2 also has an SSAA option (dubbed 'ubersampling') which also ate up the frames.
SSAA is just too hungry as an AA solution, isn't that why most people just downsample?

I don't believe stupid ass benchmarks like this. Crap like this reminds me of how wccftech likes to report their numbers

If this fake stuff ends up being true and they sell it at $600, AMD might be making some good money until 20nm hits.

While the Titan and 780 most certainly can be OCed to a degree, whos to say this new card can't also be OCed? So no, its not safe to assume these older cards might fare better against this new card.
What I'm trying to get at / ask is if a Titan / 780 has more room to overclock because it starts out at ~850 MHz, compared to the AMD card's ~1000 MHz.
Yep, 79xx cards overclock eagerly. I don't see why these would be any different.

This is really a 512 bit card?
Ughh.. AMD fix your linux drivers so i can give you my money.

If there is room for a gpu temp wise, you can overclock as much as you want given voltage isn't going to fry the chip.
You can't compare clocks between the titan and AMD's GCN cards in that way.

Oh man, looking forward to the 25th. If this is priced at £400-500... I am so in. Hopefully they'll come out with a 6GB version. Though it may be overkill I'd like the peace of mind that comes with memory overkill.
Just look at this.
This game is a fucking monster. :lol
Or poorly optimized..

My GTX 670 performs similarly in linux as it does in windows.
My HD 5870 performs much worse in linux than it does in windows.
But damn, my 1440p monitor craves a 512 bit bus.

If it has a 512 bit bus, wouldn't it be 4GB/8GB
I'd buy one of these day one if it's true (and so is the price point). I'd even deal with AMD's godawful drivers for a card like this.
But I have a hard time believing it.
It also shows you how much perspective has changed when becoming the performance king nearly six months after your competitor launched is considered slapping them around.
Guess it's been awhile since AMD has held the title.

I should be, yes.
I highly doubt you'll see a price drop on Titan. Possibly the 780, depending what AMD prices this card at. It'd have to be around $500-550 to make Nvidia budge, most likely.

Well we don't know the extent of the new card's oc ability. For all we know that card could oc to 1280 but either way it should be a card to consider.

I'm hoping the next gen cards handle resolutions like 1440p or 1600p like current cards man handle 1080p.

It could be 2x the performance at the same price in some liars benchmarks and I still will never buy an AMD anything again. I have owned enough of them to know how they operate with new games. I have had MMO launches ruined worse than any server issues and terrible performance in games because of shit drivers that took too long to fix. Plus stupid bugs that keep coming back from the grave in new driver updates. No thanks.

Hm, looks really good, but I still think it won't be able to handle 1440p at decent framerate. Might just wait 20nm.

No problems with a 7850 here.
i've always had an uncharacteristically easy time with AMD, but you shouldn't begrudge someone for switching to a different vendor if they have what they consider a shitty experience. that's what open platforms are built on.

4GB if the rumor is true.
4GB.
4gb at least for the higher end cards would be awesome.

Maybe this will get Nvidia to focus up on core innovation again and stop goofing around with their 21st century Sega Game Gear lineup.
They are already switching their nomenclature with this series of cards. (R9 290X in the thread title)

They have a different naming scheme for what would have been the 9000 series.
The lack of Titan/780 owners in this thread is amusing. I own a 680 and I aint even mad.
I'm a Titan owner, i was personally hoping for better benchmarks but i guess it's not bad.
