The CPU bottleneck will separate the AFR frames, while in a GPU bound scenario they'll appear around the same time, which causes the runt frames and makes CF useless in that circumstance. It's no...

It'll require quite a bit to match the Titan. I don't think even a 20 nm GK104-sized Maxwell will reach it. But of course we don't know what size chips Nvidia will release for next gen. It does look...

You're the one really far off reality if you think that's what I said.

It's just the big Kepler that was supposed to come back when the GTX 680 was originally released. No new gen is coming any time soon, though this will be able to compete with that too. Most likely...

AMD just stated in their quarterly conference that they'll release new GPUs first half, I doubt they'd suddenly change that, especially when there's no good reason for such and AMD desperately needs...

PhysX will never be a major part of any game as long as it is Nvidia only. So all it's good for is some random particle eye candy in a few games that Nvidia has sponsored. For particle or fabric...

I doubt 8000-series is coming out before 2013. Same goes for BigK, probably takes even longer. 7990 has already lost the game to 690. AMD simply can't match it with Tahiti's power consumption being...

It looks like the same thing with some foliage and new guns added. They need to get rid of the Cell grunts and those pink aliens, and come up with a better plot while they're at it.

So it looks like AMD left it for AIBs to do their custom cards instead of trying to release a reference model to compete with the GTX 690. A wise choice, really. These custom solutions are probably...

You can already find 7970 for <400€ in Europe, so it's a tough pick between that and the 670. I suppose 670 is the better choice for 1080p and 7970 for higher.

680 is suddenly starting to feel...

If CF doesn't work, usually it's AMD's lack of driver support that's the problem. Some game engines don't scale well on either SLI/CF, or most likely the developers simply don't care enough to...

I'd like to hear this one at 100% fan speed. :ROTF:

There's certainly a lot of surface area for the heat to transfer, but 5x40 mm fans in pull configuration is just begging for trouble. I wonder...

It was just a slight exaggeration. ;) Still, I don't put much trust in 17 W Trinity being on the level of any 35 W Llano, at least in single threaded applications.

I wonder if there's going to be a single 13" Trinity this time around, since there's AFAIK 0 13" Llano laptops out there. You'd think so considering they're promoting a 17 W Trinity. Then again, 2...

I certainly wouldn't call DX:HR short or empty by any means. Of course it's no Skyrim, but it actually has a plot to it. :rolleyes: Graphics engine is a bit dated, but even that has something going...

OCUK said they'll drop 7970 to 360£ and 7950 to 300£ or thereabouts in a few days.

Size matters. ;) If not in practice, at least in people's minds, and marketing will do its best to promote that idea.

Only in China. :ROTF: Colorful has made some extreme custom cards for a long while now, but they only sell their cards in Asia so it's not a well known brand in EU or US. It would still be fun to see...

You can see the file name by hovering your mouse over the pic, it has the game name like I stated. Whether it's just "allocation" or use is left for you or some other reviewer to test. I can only...

I used to have a 6950CF with 2GB VRAM and pretty much all of these games run better on my 7970OC. It's hard to say how much the extra VRAM helped in each case, but it's not reserved just for the heck...

Here's a few games that go above 2GB@5840x1080. The file names point to the game/setting. Some of them are a bit too much for my single 7970 but are still valid points for CrossFire use. Also some...

Crysis 2 dx9 performance was fixed in the new drivers.
Skyrim performance was fixed with 1.3 patch.
Could be that Dirt 3 took a hit with the new drivers?

I'm sure that 300$ GK104 will be available...in 2014. :ROTF:

My estimation was for 3DMark and 1920x1080 4xAA performance when there's no need for the extra bandwidth grunt 7970 has. You can already see which cases those would be based on 7870 performance. No...

What's interesting though is how AMD will react to GTX 680. Let's say it's 10-20% faster than 7970 and costs 549$ like the leaks indicate. AMD has the bigger chip and more vRAM on its card, so...
