lol that comeback from that swords geeza was terrible.

I think AMD Royston was in the bath and his Mrs wrote that reply to that swordy fella. Worst comeback I have seen from Roy in fairness.

Did you not read my previous post about pointless images. Or are you testing my patience?

Sorry Thundy no more images from me in this thread.

So has amd pushed date to the end of October? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

All that reviewer who was invited into that seedy hotel room said was, "it will be released in October".

Sorry I actually meant the Swordy fellas reply lol. Not much you can say to being anally fingered without losing your job

To be fair it's going to be hard to get one anyway.

Hope not. I want to get hold of at least one at launch so I can try and blow it up against my cherry picked Titan

Well I'm only basing that on OCUK pre-orders being closed tbh. I heard a rumour they are not the only supplier in the UK for pc parts

Quick question.

How many people here:

A. Have a 4k monitor?
B. Would be prepared to turn down a currently released game's main graphical settings (excluding AA) after just spending £500+ on a graphics card?

A) None
B) Plenty of single gpu users, Titan/780 and lower tiered gpu's. Even at 1080p.

Parting with 3k+ for a 4k monitor, I think going for a multi-GPU system wouldn't be an issue.

Crossfire over PCI-e, will that have any effect do you think?

Silent_Scone · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:18

Jono, you should rephrase the question and exclude super sampling lol.

You are right.

I wasn't really including anti aliasing really as we all know high levels of super sampling will bring most things to its knees.

Those are 30Hz only, are they not?

1080p low res really needs supersampling though.

Suarez7 · 18 Oct 2013 at 13:21

IIRC the TV's can only do 30hz?

Whenever I've used a TV as a PC monitor it's been a horrible experience as well. Input lag and all sorts on certain models.

I just wish they would give us some useful benchmarks : /
