AMD Radeon R9 390X Demo Possibly Coming At GDC

That whole report was blundered, it was something crazy for 'E3' not 'GDC'. It looked to be more API related than hardware.. Guess we'll see at E3.

390/390X at GDC would be very welcome, waiting for a long time for a decent upgrade, from the spec the 390X looks like it could be the one.

As was shown in the previous thread, that article was in fact correct, but here is the shortened 2 min clip of just the relevant information so you can listen again and see it is being shown at the GDC and it is AMD showing it.

If you listen to that clip you linked, first he was talking about GDC then the hosts mention they are not at GDC but will be at E3, then the guy says they will also be at E3 at the AMD booth, and 'AMD have something crazy their working on', i.e will be shown at E3..

'E3' not 'GDC'..
 
DirectX 12: A New Meaning for Efficiency and Performance (Presented by AMD)

Dave Oldcorn | Software Engineering Fellow, AMD
Stephan Hodes | Developer Technology Engineer, AMD
Max McMullen | Principal Development Lead, Microsoft
Dan Baker | Graphics Architect, Oxide Games

Thursday 5th March

Direct3D 12 adds key new rendering features such as multiple queues for asynchronous compute and DMA, and the ultra-performance API both eliminates performance bottlenecks and enables new techniques. AMD will talk about the key interactions between the new D3D12 capabilities and AMD hardware and how to get the best from both. This session will include live demos.

This really highlights the importance of posting the correct info first time.

Yeah, hope it's big one with these new 390/390X cards. With that many shaders and HBM, I'm expecting a big jump over the 290X / 980. With news that DirectX12 allows multi GPU's to act as a single unit, and memory to stack (I.e 2 x 4GB cards would allow 8GB usable memory) 4GB etc isn't as much of a concern going forward..

Get these out already !!

I wouldnt be holding my breath for the majority of Dev's to include Vram stacking tbh,, Lets see how the first DX12 games roll out before you decide 4GB is ok, Wasnt mantle for example more Vram hungry?
 
yay, new stuff :)

Yeah but only because developers don't have a handle on it yet, it's been controlled by mid-level 'magic driver' within DirectX for decades.
