Essex innit!
Brad Wardell revealed that AMD is working on something “Crazy” for E3 plus a new demo for GDC that will make Starswarm look “primitive”. Wardell is the founder, president and CEO of Stardock a well established game publisher and developer.
Wardell partnered with Oxide Games in 2013 to create Nitrous, a next generation game engine designed for complex real-time strategy games.
AMD Radeon R9 295X2Due to the ambitious goals set out for the Nitrous engine by Oxide Games and Stardock , it was one of the very first to incorporate Mantle support, AMD’s low level graphics API. To illustrate the key benefits of Mantle Oxide Games created a demo / stress test called Star Swarm, in which thousands of spaceships engage in combat.
New DX12 Stardock Demo Coming At GDC
We’re going to be showing something at GDC that will make Starswarm look really primitive, because Starswarm is something we whipped up in like two months.
That should be in the Microsoft booth there at GDC to be able to show just the massive difference.

AMD Is Working On Something “Crazy” For GDC
We’ll be in the AMD booth, I can’t tell you the specifics but AMD has something crazy they’re working on.
When I look at hyperware or whether something is going to be successful I usually go was the idea in hindsight obvious ? and AMD is working on something that in hindsight will be like duh why didn’t we have this already ?
The way Wardell described whatever this “crazy” thing that AMD is working makes it difficult to pin down exactly what it is. I suspect that it has something to do with the company’s Mantle, DX12 or other software initiatives. And even perhaps, although less likely, a preview of new graphics hardware.
It’s possible that AMD may showcase a new GPU at the show. The R9 300 series isn’t far away according to AMD’s CEO Lisa Su. AMD surprised everyone by announcing Mantle back in 2013 and it would make sense for the company to package its new major announcement at GDC with a preview of its next generation graphics technology and a roll-out of FreeSync monitors.
We’ve already heard that AMD is “putting the finishing touches” on the R 300 series about a week ago. Numerous leaks also surfaced a few weeks back which indicated that the new GPUs are in the final stages. With a new Fiji XT graphics board even completing the certification process. Leaks point to Fiji XT being AMD’s flagship GPU that will go into the R9 390X. The new card is also allegedly going to be the first ever to utilize the AMD and SK Hynix co-developed stacked High Bandiwdth Memory or HBM for short that is up to 9 times faster than GDDR5.

If you read the article it's not AMD saying this it's the president and CEO of Stardock..

Maybe you got confused with Nvidia who recently said they 'will redefine the future of gaming' :p

If you read the article, you will see that AMD are working on something crazy. Maybe you have swapped your GPU so much, you forget what is what :p
 
So it's not AMD teasing you with the statement as the statement is from Brad Wardell who is the ceo of Stardock. Simple stuff really but lets not go down that path. Hopefully what AMD show off is good for all of us and is as crazy as this guy makes out.

AMD didn't make a statement lol, the CEO of Stardock said these things. Read the damned article man !! :D

Nvidia made the statement that they ''will redefine the future of gaming'' I think that has you confused :p
 
In relation to the context of the CEO of Stardock saying this, I imagine this is API related and is for E3. We are bound to get GPU info from both Nvidia and AMD at GDC as well..

Roll on 390X and GM200 !

A Mantle tech demo won't save it they need games and lots of them, according to AMD developers were begging for a low level API and falling over themselves to support Mantle - it certainly doesn't like that way.

More developers than can be said for Nvida GameWorks. :) :cool:

'E3' not 'GDC'.

Fixed as thread has misinformation lol.

E3 2015 | June 16-18, 2015 | Los Angeles Convention Cente
 
Why AMD cant continue the good work? after GTX 480 nVidia learnt a lesson. AMD in the meantime doesnt do anything:/ I smell similar situation like Intel/AMD here.
