It's a AMD gaming Tablet which doubles as a hotplate to cook pancakes.

Aircon for your PC case so you can run their ridiculous stock coolers.
Yea because that makes sense... lol
Has this not been agreed upon that it's already possible but is down to the game developer to implement? Even when implemented it is only suitable for some game types.

Non AFR Crossfire - The new 4GB Ram Cards can each utilise (rather than need to duplicate) their separate memory in crossfire with Mantle.
You've only just come to this conclusion about the gpu forum? Crazy isn't the right word.........

People are really weird, the only thing you have to go on is the developer said AMD are working on something crazy and that in hindsight it seems obvious but it's not been done yet.
First we already know about other xfire modes, in the past other modes were used they are just potentially more complicated and within DirectX there is really only realistic support for one type of multigpu mode. In no way is AFR crazy nor describable as in hindsight it should have been done ages ago... because it was done ages ago and we all know about it.
Same with the other thread, Nvidia say they will redefine gaming(marketing pap) but also say they've been working on it for 5 years........ so people think they'll launch the GM200. 5 years + launch a differently sized Maxwell part that won't beat 2x 980gtx's in performance(or even come close) don't mix, a different sized Maxwell, which is about a year old with the 750ti, isn't going to be redefining gaming either in any describable way.
Back on AMD, crazy and with hindsight should seem obvious would suggest you should be thinking outside the box, not WAY inside the box. Think, slotted memory upgrades for a GPU, a ssd port on the gpu for it's own direct cached access directly to game data for faster access, having the option to stick a 16gb stick of pci-e ssd directly accessed to the gpu. Those kind of things are both crazy and with hindsight could be seen as obvious, in relation to hardware anyway, in software, a bit harder to call. A way to push some of the driver load onto an iGPU to get stuff done faster, who knows.
