well if it is 699 they can keep it, i'm not paying 1400 bucks for two cards and i'll still need two at 1600p

it will be the first top card I've skipped since the 9700 pro and two in cf since x1950xtx

How many monitors? Don't think you will need two for single monitor...

2 at 1600p? I thought there was a demo of battlefield 4 running at 4k on a single 290x.....

[bill_d]

2 at 1600p? I thought there was a demo of battlefield 4 running at 4k on a single 290x.....

it was 4k with 290x cfx

and unless it is a lot faster than a titan it will still need two at 1600p, now if one was as fast as two 7970 in cfx I would pay 699 for it, but it won't be

[Ace123]

If you want one as fast as two 7970 then buy a 7990... Lol!

why I have two asus gtx 680 directcu ii top's and two asus 7970 directcu ii top's in my two systems now now

but the 7990 is 550 now with 6gb and 8 games , I would think a single 290x would be cheaper to make

Hmm

"BF4 demo at AMD event was running one 290X card @ higher than 3K resolution"

on the 25th they said cfx but who know, but that was the mantle demo I think and few games have it so far

I don't think there has been a bf4 performance review yet ?

edit =well one

and a single titan is down to 47 fps at 1440p and min to 37


and at best I don't think a 290x will be better than 5% over a titan without mantle

I thought the CFX was for the Dirt whatever game that was running 3x4k...

maybe and I think it was but what FPS and now do it with crysis 3 on max
but hay I just turned 54 and you want me to remember over two weeks

[Chickenfeed]

At 1440p+, in any remotely demanding title, that is multi gpu territory.

AMD is just trying to show off 2160p to market their new card and BF4. I wouldn't read into it too much, it's just a PR stunt. The numbers will speak for themselves when retail BF4 and the R290 are available to the public

[nossy23]

Yes i know.. this is so much funny to see them coming with that..

But Nvidia have allways been able to surprise us, for the bad and the good, maybe, who know.. maybe we will see jens with a pink t_shirt and white glasses...



They dont even got the right spec, and you think they have the right price ? Its funny because i was think he was in the nda presentation in Hawaii .. As for Pre order, you will seen all and nothing as price.. untill they got the MSRP...

( i like how the 290 have a base clock of 900mhz for a 947mhz boost, and the 2900x have a base clock of 800mhz and 1000mhz boost.. completely logic.. ) ... 44Rops.. lol

8 Ace's and they moved the rasterizer and gemotry in the SM .. , it seems each geometry processor have been too moved from the front end to the SM. ( i have say they have completely redesign the front end )

I have not get the time to analyze it ( too much work here )

[stuffme]

^^ Does this mean that games with more polygons at higher resolution will be significantly faster with 290x than 7970? But if polygon count and pixel count stay low, the advantage will be minimal for 290x?

no 290x will still have the advantage.

for the table and if we think in theory it will take 0.525 seconds for 290x to process number of primitives that 7970 process in one second. of course in real world we will have lots other variables that will effect the final output but in theory this math is correct.

[fellix_bg]

Radeon's rasterization granularity is still twice larger than what Nvidia GPUs have been capable since Fermi. Developers know that too small primitives will lead to huge performance overhead, no matter how many gazillions of polygons a GPU can setup per second. For example, in CryEngine3 the default primitive size on tessellated objects is optimized for Nvidia's hardware.

[LordEC911]

Wow, now that is a surprise.
Looks like Hawaii IS the GPU for +1080p.

Try imagine where it is aim when it will be shrinked in 20nm... Good luck Nvidia .

w00t ! It will be a Pixel Pushing Monster , much more than what I was thinking , thanks for sharing this new info my friend Lanek

What an uncalled-for comment. What about Maxwell? At 28nm or even at 20nm? Good luck AMD. See, I can do it, too.

R9 290 is on the egg as "Coming soon". No sign of the 290X yet.

Sorry, that has been said a ridiculous number of times in every single Hawaii/VI thread I have read.

[boxleitnerb]

I know. The point is, his comment was nonsense and I was using my statement to illustrate just that.

I appologize, this was an unjustified attack against Nvidia ....
