This game looks like it's from 2003?

Mike_P · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:13

this is baaaad.

I've come a bit late to the party...how do these perform? What's the closest card to compare them to? Or don't we know yet (in other words have they not given us any important information yet?)

This 'sounds' good

I will never buy Lichdom because the thought of any of my money going to these ***** makes me violently retch.

on the bright side, if this keeps up maybe my stream will upgrade itself back to high-quality

sorry if posted but I can't keep up. That score I assume is 8K and it is on Firestrike performance. Hopefully it will have some serious overclocking power.

Nice find Greg, so the extreme thing wasn't there in black and white, people were just seeing what they wanted to see

Looking at that chart.....where did the R9 290 come from? Because they mentioned that aswell as the R9 290x.

I'm only looking for 1 answer, Is the new AMD GPU a 780 and Titan murderer ?

the1gooner · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:15

Okay this is beyond bad now, cant watch or listen to anymore.

4737Joker · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:15

People are talking extreme Greg but I would put money on it being performance

Why is somone talking about badass mages and shouting? haha i thought this was a graphic card presentation.

Well it's funny how none of the AMD boys said this would be the case earlier today before the event. Everyone was raving about prices being revealed and TITAN KILLING specs.

Because anyone who has watched press events before should know they show other technologies and that before the main event.

Simple really.

Those firestrike scores were at the performance preset

This bit is an odd marketing ad for a new game more than anything else.

humbug · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:16

my ears....

drunkenmaster · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:16

Seems like an awful game anyway, tech guys trying to be cool on stage is always bad.

I think these two thought this would be a general Apple presentation crowd or fanboys of their previous games crowd...
