Surely if NDA has lifted there are reviewers out there that have pre-written their review so they can just paste it online the minute the NDA was over?

Maybe because its not the 15th yet in other countries :(
 
Those graphs cannot be right.....they have the 770 ahead of the 7970GHz and the 670 ahead of the 7950 boost :D



Yes this is a sarcastic post and for that I apologise, if this was posted to show the performance of the 770 and the 670 then they would be shot down in flames, but for showing the 290 and 290x I'm sure the red team will be singing their praises.
 
I think anyone with any sense* knows that there isn't much real world difference between those cards, bru :)
Besides, it's a general graph. Performance will swing a bit in favour of either depending on the game and OC's etc.


*I know that's a lot to expect here at times ;-)

NDA is not lifting yet, it was a rumour.

There is so much rumour that its hard to discern how much we actually know. lol

Here are the facts I can be sure about the 290/290x:

1. It is a GPU
2. It is not released yet
3. I want one

Unfortunately my list comes to an abrupt end there.

What i am hoping for is that the Titan's performance would be between the 290 and the 290x. This would probably bring about the most drastic cross market price change without tempting AMD to put the 290 price too high.

Agreed I tried and that's all I could come up with, alongside the price drops am hoping for a full fat titan and/or a dual gpu offering from NVidia :)
 
Just bought 2 7950's. I realised that I've been waiting for one of these and it looks like costing over £500 for a lot less performance and only 1gb extra. 2 7950's will last me ages and in the middle of next year we'll be doing the same thing with the even newer cards. Just hope I don't kick myself later.
Can put the rest to my ps4 now.
 
Crossfire 7950s are no slouch will last you a good while, I left my deposit a bit late apparenty I don't stand a chance on release day it may even be after Christmas :(
 
So I guess we're not going to get a paper launch either.

Well, that's... Depressing to say the least.

I wanted to buy before pay day, as 8.1 tablets will be out too.
