The only way this could get worse is if a plane carrying nvidia cards crashed into the conference building.

Lol, this made me chuckle more than it should.

29k viewers. Bloody hell!

Has to be firestrike extreme because otherwise the 7970 is faster than the 290x hawaii chip.

He said it was extreme at the very beginning.

Quoted for truth and forum derpina's.

Score 7202. 780. LN2 Cooled. Physics Score 19983. CPU 3930k @ 5.59 LN2 Cooled - 8 Pack - Link

That's the highest extreme graphics score.

R290 scores 8000+ according to the presentation.

If the 290X is beating a LN2 cooled 780 then that is impressive but I really really doubt that.

It was there in black and white on the presentation.

Then they've mistaken the extreme preset for normal
No stock card of the same gen can beat an 8pack score.

^^ This.

Well in that case my single 7950 is better than the Hawaii card.

I think they really do mean firestrike extreme folks. That is the main news for me.
