i agree
really have been good
they need to fix their multi-gpu stuff tho on recent games,
i hope that comes good for them in windows10
bored of hearing the same problems, some of amd's value come from multi gpu's they need to get that back

I edited my post! I meant from my own experience people don't tend to always upgrade to the latest and greatest drivers for both companies,since stability tends to be a more important factor.
Edit!!
Unless OFC the newer drivers tend to give decent performance gains.

The crossfire freesync is a biggie too.
Same here, it's the same argument day in day out. I agree that it should be address and so on and that it should be sorted but hey ho. Nothing i can do about it.
I've never had a problem with stability in drivers, EVER!? Am i just lucky? I just update when it pops up or when people talk about them. I don't even read what they change!

I remember doing that for one NV update and it just caused PS2 to just crash repeatedly all the time,even if I tried installing it manually. Stuck with the older driver and it was fine. Although,it was the 330 branch,and they were not their finest hour. The ones after that have been solid though and it was a few years ago.
But over the last 12 years,I have only usually updated drivers when there has been a need to,so generally have not been plagued with too many issues from either side. They have been much of a sameness as a result.
They don't know jack. They are shoveled press releases and simply regurgitate them. I find it hilarious that people on forums think because a tech news website says something they somehow have "access" or "secret info".
Stop treating every wccf clickbait like it has merit. They are just spewing the same idle thoughts people on forums are. Difference is you are paying them to do it and making them rich by linking them constantly.

Actually if AMD is planning to launch these in two weeks,its quite likely many of them already have seen the cards,or already have them in testing.
Moreover,I actually have known in the past(at least from a personal communicaiton with one of the people behind the scenes I actually knew),that one of the larger review sites actually had access to some stuff yonks before the reviews come out.
Plus I think AMD must be quite confident if they hired a massive billboard in Times Square:

If anyone thinks Nvidia don't know what they're up against with the new AMD cards, think again. They will know exactly. With this release date and the pricing, they are clearly getting themselves front of the line for a reason. The Fury (if that's what it's called) will be a performer, no doubt about it.

Thats the thing,I think we are all making the assumption Fiji will be a mixed compute card with strong DP performance too.
Nvidia stripped out DP compute with the GM110 and it meant they used a modified GK110(the GK210) for that market instead. It also meant that the GM110 was not a massive increase in die area over the GK110 but gaming performance was also much better.
What if AMD is doing the same thing with Fiji?? They keep a modified Hawaii for that market,and do what Nvidia did with the GM110. Part of the reason,Hawaii does consume more power,is probably down to it having to cover two different markets.
All the DP functionality in Hawaii adds nothing to gaming power,but still adds to the power consumption and die area.
Imagine if that was instead spent on gaming performance??
Add the increase in transistors and die area over Hawaii and HBM,and it could be quite a potent GPU for gaming.

Here's a theory I'll throw out: if you take Hawaii and use high performance libraries instead of high density ones, you get a chip about the size pictured in that leak.

According to this the new card needs 45% more performance than the 290X to match the GTX Titan-X

Yikes.
Honestly I see this card performing the same as a 980 TI but I can also see AMD releasing a flagship card in the future

nVidia have just torpedoed their own titan sales by bringing out the 980ti so early and at such a reasonable price in comparison. There is no chance in hell they rush the 980ti to market and torpedo their own product if they felt the 'Fury/Zeus/WCE/390x Uber Edition' wasn't a potential gamechanger.
AMD have released nothing in ages, nVidia have run roughshod all over AMD with new cards and now they're rushing a 980ti to market on the back of the TX and at a price that makes the TX obsolete. If AMD had nothing in the pipeline to scare nVidia, that never happens.

AMD should consider getting the reviews of the Fury of Zeus out asap. At least people will know which card to pre-order. If we don't get reviews this week, I get the feeling it would be because AMD still working on optimising the drivers for reviews or something, as I think the cards physically have been ready for a while...
I predict AMD taking the crown, but pricing will put me off.

Killing off the titans to rush out the gate before AMD does leave me to wonder what AMD has up there sleeve to make Nvidia and it's fans jerk around so much but we'll just have to wait and see.
Should be good times ahead, might wait for the next series of cards though, ones that can properly run DX12, 4K be smaller nm processes etc. Hopefully by then Nvidia won't have such a tight hold on commanding price hikes.
Sadly it could go either way, Nvidia might just be posturing with the new card so they maintain the lead or they might just be scared of what AMD is about to bring so willing to burn bridges and let the titan owners feel ripped off (fat chance of that considering delusions but oh well) and kill off that card as a sensible choice. Hard to say, just waiting on the big reveals.

Kind of what I was thinking, Nvidia already practically made Titan look like an overpriced boys club for those that wanted to jump on the tech first for a huge premium with barely any time to maintain a true lead (which of course it wasn't at the time of release and no one could predict the ti so soon but Nvidia often cheeses it's fans) and things are just getting exciting with the die shrinks coming. Can't imagine the titan being a good long term investment at the moment, 980ti already makes it look a bit of a waste.
