That's what I thought was happening for a while now. AMD announce and reveal on 16th Fiji comes at end of month after reviews get chance to review.

(This is why I don't understand the reviewers crying, Ryan Shrout took to twitter absolutely brilliant :D)

Im hoping for some info today, not for them just to say something like, 'and here it is, Fiji, the worlds first HBM graphics card' then wheel it onto the stage in a full glass sealed case just for a few snaps to be taken, before its wheeled back off again with absolutely no info given at all.

That's far closer to what it's going to be and I have no idea why people suspect otherwise.

Can anyone name a public event in which someone has done a review like in depth analysis up on stage of new hardware? Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Intel? ever?

Apple 'launch' an iPhone, they show it, show some videos of it in use, show some fancy marketing videos and give some specs, info, some "it will last 49.782x as long as the last crappy iphone you should totally throw away today".

Titan X 'launch' basically equated to a couple of images on a big screen and holding a card up while dear leader was saying it is the bestest thing in the universe ever.

How is a tech day with a couple people up on stage a good way to present the kind of information you read in your average lets say Anandtech review of a new gpu/architecture?

Again as with TItan X, expect the same event, here is this card, here are some basic specs, here is how much faster we think it is than our last card, here are the benefits, now lets look at a video of the next game we'll talk about. Then we get a specific media day for the specific card with probably some more information(but often under NDA... though a lot more will leak out at that point) then within a couple of weeks we get a proper review. This is how these 'launches' have happened for over a decade.

What I find hilarious is that a new Nvidia card is coming with little known about it, it launches in exactly the same way but there isn't some 300 page thread hyping it up saying it has to be X percent faster or must be cheaper than something else. There isn't AMD guys hyping it up and demanding certain features or performance levels nor demanding information. YOu get speculation but no over hyping.

With AMD launches the Nvidia guys spend literally months attempting to over hype it then declaring themselves disgusted with the lack of information the strange way AMD are being ultra quiet(though identical to Nvidia), talking up how the hardware must be epic then with any date of any AMD talk they insist it will be a full launch... then again get all fake angry at the lack of a launch. Then when it finally launches after 6 months of hype they created, they deem it a failure because it didn't live up to their 6 months of bullcrap.

I expect a normal launch to every AMD/Nvidia card before and the usual reaction from the Nvidia fanboys.

980 Ti prices have seen an increase today even though they are not in stock. Inside knowledge ahead of the launch?

I was actually wondering if the poor stock levels are intentional until they've properly gauged what the actual price should be, those buying 980Ti now could be getting a bargain. :p

Totally agree with this.

Can't wait for this to be over if just to end all of the lameness etc.

Hopefully it's a good card and a good price. If not we won't buy it. Either way it's not life or death. AMD deserve credit for doing the first ever PC gaming event at E3 with PC Gamer and also credit for adding something genuinely new to their flagships.

Here's the 980ti rumour thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18662953&highlight=980ti+thread

It only got to 1420 posts, because it was only one card not an entire lineup (and the was less interest in it than the Fury).

The 770/780 rumour thread made it past 2200 as it was a new card plus a rebrand: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18507516&highlight=geforce+700+series&page=29

The majority of posts in threads like these are from AMD's hardcore element, the reason NVidia launches don't have the same sort of hype is generally because NVidia users are too busy gaming to talk about unannounced cards and the aforementioned AMD users don't want to give NVidia any attention unless it's to paint them in a bad light. NVidia don't take 8mths to deliver either.

It's looked to me like there have been mostly Amd fans hyping it up in here.

Staunch nvidia fans (and those who had enough of Amd) already bought titans and 980 ti...

I wasn't even aware AMD had a hardcore element lol. I mean AMD Matt was pretty pro AMD but he works for them. Him aside, who is hardcore lol?

I find most AMD users to be fairly chill just enjoy gaming and don't get caught up in all the weirdness. I have come across many Nvidia users who are really invested into the whole Nvidia locked down ecosystem, G-Sync, Gameworks, Physx etc, and defend Nvidia diligently.

Many of the posts in this thread come from Nvidia users who have no intention of using an AMD card but just want to post negative things about AMD. Maybe read the thread again from a neutral perspective.

-------------------------

Looking forward to the PC Gaming show not long now ! Great work by PC Gamer and AMD for doing this at E3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!
