I don't know. I'm just saying what it said on the presentation.

The only "problem" with this will be the super high price - i.e. £700+ that it would need to cost to prevent the 7990 costing £400 overnight.

Expected 5000 views, achieved 18000 ... bet they are busy updating the slides to add $100

+1 lol. That's why the 290 wasn't priced

They're doing this on purpose so you have to get their new card for better audio.

So is it worth picking up a his 7950 with the AMD gold award for £185?

3t3P · 25 Sep 2013 at 21:41

they're talking about vertical positioning of sound just not explaining it as the straightforward principle that it is...

like dolby ATMOS

No price, ambiguous performance hinting, a fat man droning on about audio.

And now I just heard a cow fart.

I don't know if I can make it through this.

Lmao

Was a rhetorical question Matt...this is why I'm thinking it can't be on extreme. If it is then of course that's amazing...

I'm inclined to agree but if that was a standard firestrike score then why is my £230 7950 beating a new top of the line gpu? It has to be extreme.

EDIT

I also heard that fart.

snips86x · 25 Sep 2013 at 21:41

OH NO!!! Crazy animal sounds are back!

I was waiting to decide on a 7970 but frankly I'm confused now whether to wait of hit buy.
