[rare]

I was patient at first. But come on maaan :/

 

[dwskillz]

'Based on 25 years of human brain research'. Haha.

Good to see its paid off *a cow farts*

 

[StonedPenguin]

This guy is sending me to sleep

We're obviously not going to hear what the audio system can do when it was mixed down to stereo/mono for live transmission. But the event is for the press people there, not us.

 

[Suarez7]

Come on guys, they can't really get loads of press sent out to Hawaii for a 3 minute presentation saying the prices and scores in benchmarks...

 

[T345]

Did the first guy not mention it was the 2nd fastest card they've made? Pretty sure he did.

He said the fastest, if I remember correctly.

 

[snips86x]

They've spent more time talking about the soddin audio!!!!

 

[Evil Star]

Just give me the price you plump lump.

 

[imginy]

Any audio people here tell me if this new audio will be compatible with my current system?

I have the panny bt490 it's hdmi 5.1 and it's compatible with all the current best audio formats.

 

[Craterloads]

Laughing hard, wtf is this guy talking about. Magnets, brains, lasers, cow farts, shhhpecial effects (lisp)

 

[RetrogamerX]

Exactly

 

[Cd0gz]

I would lol if this was the end of the show.

 

[churchhawk]

Honestly guys, i'm losing it here...is this guy talking complete balls or is it me?

 

[Tonester0011]

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.

They put the 280X @around 6800 mark, what is about right for a stock 7970....the 780 also scores @stock around the 8k mark, i think its around 8200-8500 depending on boost clock.

You're comparing overclocked against stock, and if you're running a 40% overclock against a generation jump of 25% you're going to win!

Not sure on stock Titan scores, gotta be just shy of 9k though.

 

[Zenduri]

shouldnt this guy be collecting "protection money" from pizza shop owners?

 

[jrodga2k5]

He said the fastest, if I remember correctly.

Fastest GPU they've made...which would mean it's faster than two of their previous fastest apparently lol

 

[buffybill]

All I hear is bullsheeeet

 

[Hades]

I bet audio has a hit on graphics performance so most people turn it off.

 

[Buckster]

Anyone else think this might be one of many techs shown tonight to use the compute power of the AMDs

I feel this could be more of s game changer than some on here are joking about

Especially if the consoles implement it
