I want AMD to sort out 3D too, in that it's closer to 3DVision.
Rather than using Tridef (Which I like, but nothing was easier than a checking a box and everything working in 3D)

There are some people who will keep banging on the same broken drum no mater what they do.

But when Nvidia release shockingly bad drivers those same people come running to their defence. :rolleyes:

8870 looks like just re branded 7870 xt with higher clock speed .

8970 & 8950 prices bit steep ;/ , could be all 50 $ cheaper

Not sure how anyone can defend Nvidia's latest drivers

I don't think anyone is defending the Drivers, no... that would be the icing on the cake.

Its been barely 6 months after a lot longer history of less ideal support (and I'm still waiting on the promised hardware physics) its not about whether they are doing enough its about whether its here to stay.

It's been about 6 months since Roy Taylor joined them, and he'll be the driving force behind that improved developer support. As long as he's there it will continue in my view.

Roy Taylor and Rory Read have been a god send.

Roy Taylor is actually from Nvidia and Rory Read is a throwback from the good old Athlon XP days now returned to AMD.

Both of them are very good at what they do, and I think it shows in AMD's new momentum even if some would argue there isn't any, I would argue there defiantly is now.

Rory Read's a troll

No arguement from me there (as far as Roy Taylor goes) and what they have been doing is definitely something AMD has badly needed.

EDIT: Actually was getting Roy and Rory mixed up a bit there ignore.

I think the anger is more to do with the sense that AMD was promising something big at E3, and produced nothing.

Yup, even the Battlefield 4 Multi-player demos were running on XBOX One PC Emulators and not the 8970 cards.

There must be something seriously wrong over there for them not to even demo the card with BF4.

Whilst i would have liked to have seen either a gpu or driver announcement, i was quite happy to see Battlefield 4 running flawlessly on AMD hardware and looking superb at the time time.

Haha...

why do you say that?

Are you talking about Twitter? isn't that Roy Taylor?

He's just letting his old boss know what he's doing

Martini1991 · 14 Jun 2013 at 17:43

Was it him or Roy with the twitter stuff?

That's Roy Taylor

Martini1991 · 14 Jun 2013 at 17:53

Yeah him.
Damn Hayfever.

Rroff · 14 Jun 2013 at 18:26

Yeah I keep getting them the wrong way around to.

I like that hes getting out there engaging with the users, driving momentum, but they still do need to put a but more substance behind it, hyping up what has so far been mostly non-events and cloak and dagger reveals while good PR sooner or later needs to result in a delivery.

Have these been announced ?

Sorry I haven't kept up with all the latest news from AMD

No not yet, we are all still huddled around the podium speculating when AMD come out to make an announcement and what it might be.
