I find it weird when people say "when will amd answer the 980"

Its not much faster than a 290x or the 780ti that it usurped for the fastest single GPU,and its not like its super cheap or anything.

It has been far too long since AMD released a new high end GPU tho,18 months now,saying that the 290x as a card is vastly underrated its a pity amd have been struggling to get rid of their inventory.

I agree with this.

Not sure why 980 gets so much praise, particularly at the current price points of both GPU's.
 
i duno maybe
that page was posted yesterday tho, or atleast it was "updated"
i guess to get in on the clicks :)

i think the other article had a good point about they need to be the best again
i dont think just beating the 980 will make amd sexy
to turn some heads they need to beat the tx :o
 
Didn't somebody on this forum post excerpts from the contract a while back proving that AMDs sale/acquisition would void the license. Kinda lol that random forum guys know more about the wording of AMDs contracts than their chief financial officer lol.
Doubtful. Nobody except the parties involved know the exact terms of the current deal. It was renegotiated in 2009 following the antitrust judgement against Intel. No details of that agreement have ever leaked as far as I know, beyond the fact that AMD no longer had to pay Intel royalties. People base the takeover clause on previous versions of the deal and Intel's public threats to revoke AMD's licence, all of which came before the antitrust suit. Things have been very quiet in recent years, since both companies agreed to stop suing and threatening each other as part of the settlement.
 
It's a shame AMD are expected to both

A) Beat a halo product

and

B) Considerably undercut it.

Nobody would expect Nvidia to do the same thing.

That's because nVidia aren't in a position where they need to do that, if roles were reversed then people would expect nVidia to do the same thing.

but not from this years GPUs, because the only card that can stand out as a clear winner is the 390X2.

the 390X is surrounded by stiff competition, especially the 980ti....even the 980 poses a threat

AMD should have released the 390X a month ago, when everybody was fed up with waiting for Titan X stock to arrive here in the U.K, this was a massive opportunity to quickly jump in but they missed it.

are AMD Doomed ?...........no but they're ripe for a takeover, it could be Samsung, LG, anybody, they're like Q.P.R ..........Relegated

Mal could you post some benchmarks for the 390X, 980ti and 395X2 please.

On a serious note don't even expect to see a 395X2 or whatever AMD call the card this year as they can make more money with Fiji sticking to single GPU cards while the demand is high.

Don't forget the benchmarks Mal, we are all waiting with interest.:D

Nvidia don't need to though, they have healthy profit margins and big market share.

It is AMD that need to radically change their current position before they fold.
 
I have an i7 4790k and using the iGPU right now :( Do you think it's worth it to wait more? I think 380X is coming out on Juny and will beat GTX980, what do you think about it?
