So under whelmed by the Ruby demo. When's something interesting going to happen,...the end perhaps.

Don't discard the potential for overclocking guys. It could be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Well I haven't seen anything so far that makes me regret picking up my 780 for £450.

Same here. Makes my £372 780 look very good so far. Holding out for the benchmarks until I decide though

There's been no real performance data yet. It'd be pointless to try and judge performance on a basic marketing graph from the start.

Was that Ruby without Tressfx? Looked naff, but it could just be the stream.

Ryan said the stream looks better there than it is portrayed on the stream.

Hopefully it follows the trend of all the 7*** cards and is a diamond of a clocker, if its going against the 780...it really needs to be, as they all clock decently.

Ah thought as much. That's good to know then.

Star Citizen didn't look very smooth in parts.

drakt · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:35

so the 280x comes in at $299 (around the 7970 price point in the US)

And gets ~6600 stock on firestrike performance, what does a stock (1ghz) 7970 get?

Noxia · 25 Sep 2013 at 22:35

So are these cards really interesting to a gamer who isn't interested in BF4? Seems to be mentioned all the time in conjunction with it.
