At least when AMD do a rebrand you can still crossfire with older ones, hope it stays the same
 
Need doesn't come into it, I like to have the best.

Not interested in all this tittle tattle, like a gaggle of old lady's airing their grievances. It is pretty funny though, they don't even realise.. Brilliant :D

You do tend to chop and change more than anyone I know including me and Kaap which is pretty shocking :p.


I meant more for the single card reasoning more than anything else

Loads of people on here buy new cards at every single launch, some buy 2 or even 4 cards. Why me buying one of em would be shocking I guess I don't understand. Unless someone can only buy from one brand for whatever reason. But then why limit yourself?

Yeah I'll just keep grabbing the latest and greatest rinse & repeat. Shocking though it is.
 
People still banging on about drivers when there is another thread on Nvidia instability, another TDR issue(which has been going and coming back for well over two years with a huge number of users effected).

Witcher 3, with an 'old' driver works dandy on all AMD architectures, performance is as expected and generally strong, single gpu is perfect. xfire not great, but single gpu perfect.

Nvidia, multiple drivers, most unstable for huge numbers of users, entire generations of products were drastically underperforming(on all drivers new and old). SLI scaling particularly on Kepler was terrible. People who had paid near enough 2 grand for Titan X sli are complaining that while performance is lower in single gpu the game is smoother and more playable. The instability is present for all types of users, sli, kepler, maxwell.

But AMD have a driver issue because xfire sucks in Witcher 3 even though sli is highly problematic in Witcher 3 anyway. Despite it being an Nvidia game, it's more stable on AMD drivers released before the game was launched. Damn those old AMD drivers, I'd far prefer to have 3-4 different versions of specific Witcher 3 drivers all of which have various problems and introduce crashing.

+1.

AMD's excellent drivers get an absolute bashing on this forum - despite the fact they are rock solid stable for single GPU's, which the overwhelming majority of users actually use.
 
That is not true at all. A 1 gallon bucket can hold 1 gallon of water, however big the hole is in the bottom it can't magically become a 2 gallon bucket.
This is the wrong analogy and it cannot be looked at this way... you need to think outside the box. With HBM there is no bucket. Confused? You should be... the Fury X is a mystery wrapped up inside an enigma currently hiding beyond the singularity of a black hole. Its truth remains unknowable. Until tmrw.

So all joking aside anyone else just think the big announcement will be play medis 3.0 support and dx12?

Oh and that a new graphics card maybe available at some point in the future
 
If AMD are aiming FURY or whatever it will be called at 4K with only 4GB of vram, im guessing (and hoping) they have some technology to mitigate the vram limit of 4GB

Yes they do, it called an NDA not allowing review sites to bench anything that might show the card up. :D:p:D
 
After watching E3 the only game I really care about is FO4, seeing as they're STILL using Gamebryo I'm not concerned about VRAM until 2016.

Depending on which armchair expert you believe HBM2 will either be out this year or end of next.

I don't know about you guys, but I was wiping my jizz and saliva for the past hour after seeing HoloLens demo @E3 :D

I hope there's lots of demos like that tomorrow.
 
Your lack of knowledge with NVidia cards is shocking, have you had much personal experience with Kepler and Maxwell ?

You do realise us TitanX owners are very happy with them even after the 980 Ti launch.

It is fantastic running Witcher 3 maxed @2160p with all the effects working on NVidia cards, sadly you can not do the same with AMD cards at the moment.

I still own Kepler cards and SLI is very good with them, the one thing that does spring to mind is didn't AMD cards have a terrible problem with micro stutter when the Kepler cards came on the market. Also didn't the tech sites use the GTX 690 as the benchmark for how cards should run without micro stutter (obviously the SLI was working ok for the 690s).

I don't like bashing AMD cards as I own quite a few of them but sometimes it helps to remind people when they only use one brand and bash the other.


There is right now a thread where people are posting saying they are having SLI issues with Titan X's, 980ti's, 780ti's, single card/sli performance problems with kepler in general and stability problems across all of them.

Just because YOU aren't having problems doesn't mean they don't exist.

The threads about AMD problems with Witcher 3 are solely based around xfire, there are multiple threads and thousands of posts on problems with Kepler/Witcher 3 in single/sli setups, thousands more about unstable driver releases, thousands more about TDR issues, mostly on Nvidia forums.

One of us is uninformed and it isn't me.

Wait a minute let me refresh you on something. Nvidia have stated they are trying to get to the bottom of the Kepler performance issue, Nvidia have stated they are trying to sort out the TDR problem and trying to find out why the last few drivers are so unstable for so many, but I'm making it up and you know all... sure.


Can I run Witcher 3 with all effects in max quality, errm, yes actually but don't let that stop you. Do I even WANT to run 4k @ 60hz, no thanks. I'll literally never buy a screen below 120hz again(based on current tech ,Oled may change that).

I have no problem running Witcher 3 aside from it's inherently flawed difficulty/level scaling system. It's extremely clear to see from threads in the pc gaming section, here, Nvidia's forums, Reddit and everywhere else that Nvidia has having major trouble for huge numbers of users both in Witcher 3 and with the last few driver sets where the single AMD problem has been lack of xfire working well. It runs exceptionally well in single card, rock solid and performance is well well beyond what a 780ti(that cost twice as much) or a Titan(that cost three times as much) can provide.

I thought they were skipping 20nm because the yields wasn't that great, I'm sure I read somewhere that Pascal will be 16nm and AMD were teasing that there next flagship would be 20nm aka the Fury which isn't the case so why are AMD banging on about 20nm next year?

Unfortunately I do get the feeling that tomorrow might not actually give us all the answers we are wanting and I don't mean we will hear things that we don't want too.

I expect lots of blurb about the future of gaming, future VR tech, DirectX 12 and other such stuff that most of us here, don't really care about right now.

A quick bit about the 300 series with tech details and probably a quick glimpse of the Furry right at the end of the event.
