AMD, Friday, November 20th events from the evening, theme is "Radeon Software" and new GPU + "Star W

Yeah it must be embarrassing for AMD, but they will get it fixed quickly.

Also, on the subject of the 380X, we people expecting a cheap miracle card ? It is placed exactly as expected, av be at the price people had predicted. The 280x will do battle with it at times due to slightly different architectures but with more modern games the 380 and 380x are better cards, plus have additional features.
 
Surely it is only embarrassing for AMD if they don't fix it before the Fury X2 actually arrives, if they do then its a non story for that card. Different thing for currant X-fire users though.

Stop screwing around? This is the same garbage back to the Crysis 2 days.

The card has a spot in today's market where it sits uncontested at the moment which is great but as a next gen replacement for it's older name sake it's dire.

What matters is the here and now and if you pick a random selection of 30 to 40 modern games available today the 380x just about comes out alongside the 280x. It will probably lose the majority by a frame or so but make it up because of a few tess heavy games (As we saw in the review linked earlier).

That means the regular Joe Bloggs looking at the pretty graphs won't be impressed and won't think "Ooh at least it's better at tessellation and has free-sync". Instead they'll look at Nvidia's generational jump from a 770 to a 970 (as an example) and wonder why AMD aren't doing that with there generational jumps.


Having said that the 960 is not loads better than the 760 but it is better and it does show the 960 pulling ahead of the 760 overall which is the exact opposite to what the 380x does with the 280x.

It's saving grace is the fact it sits where the market has a gap.
