    ^AMD never caught up to Nvidia's smoothness since forever, what SLI microstutter i am hearing about? LOL :) even 13.10beta is not making things smooth enough. They should learn something from nvidia's superiority in mgpu solutions. Maybe hardware pacing is better to be done than driver level.

    Really? What games are not smooth with the new Frame-Pacing? Everything I've tried till now has been as smooth as a faster single-GPU, especially when FPS hit refresh rate, it felt like VSync was on. If anything, the vast majority of games are now smooth.

    Nvidia don't have any driver-level frame metering, you think?

    Oh but AMD did include DP in 7970, that was my whole point mentioning this in the first place..


    @Blackops2
    I meant Titan with 1000$ and this new AMD R9 would be at least ~20% faster then Titan/780GTX since its around the same, idk if its 280x or 290x - a 7970 successor, old name 9970.

    And you still think it will be max 780GTX? common get real, that can sometimes be a OC'ed 7970Ghz ~1200mhz.

    Why would AMD make such a minimal refresh and then include 50% more ROPs, more raster engines, texture units, 25-45% more cores and other GCN2 optimizations.


    There was this news once it might fall between 780GTX and Titan but it was just some random leak, nothing more.

    It's a monster: 512-bit bus and 4GB RAM.

    Your link is videocardz ? i was coming to post it, so sorry if i open a second one, not everyone will fill the lines for get the complete link.

    PCB photos leaked: ( at least if it is not a fake )

    Suggest a 425-430mm2 non square chip.

    Comparaison with Tahiti ( HD7970 )

    Like allways, without having the real final specs this 25th, dont believe all, i will be surprised if they really come with a 512bit memory controller.

    I was replying to the last post on the previous page but since my reply appeared on a new page it looks a bit strange so I should have quoted the previous post or something like that, thanks for posting the other details though since the original URL name gets blocked, I didn't think about that. :)

    lol Fellix, i was coming post the same camera shoot.

    Anyway, hard to call it a fake now.... Nice clean PCB.

    - ( 512bits + 4gb ( and possibly 8GB and 16GB on some configuration ( FirePro ) ). ( ofc if this info is really confirmed. ).

    - Same size of Tahiti / 7970
    - 8+6pin
    - 6+2 PWM
    - 16 memory IC.
    - Dual bios switch.


    - certainly 48ROPS ( not 64, as AMD use a Crossbar for it, they can use 48ROPS )

    The power connections on the card look weird. 4 and 3 port connections?

    So it could well be the default cooler for the R9, perhaps.
