Are new full fat Hawaii XT cards on the way ?

You lie kapp! we know that you know, that we know , that you know! lol

Well it won't take much for a 290XT to be faster than a 780TI,Titan black, so will be interesting to see where this goes. Spare a thought for Broomstick though, he just bought a titan black which will no doubt be on the MM soon.

^ haha.

Typical Nvidia AMD, releasing the high-mid range part as the high end part and then releasing the proper high end part later... pfft bloody Nvidia AMD!

As an AMD fanboy it's all NVidia's fault imo... because of their immense popularity in the professional space they have pushed up global temperatures which resulted in AMD cards having to be cut back due to overheating. Lets all boycott NVIDIA.

I hope he doesn't get a rap over the knuckles for telling us

If AMD has had its high end next gen ready for a while, then what was the point ever launching the RX XXX stuff............................

 

[Tonester0011]

I never understand why he chops and changes so much. How does one improve upon 1440p 60 FPS max settings?

 

[Jono8]

When is AMD going to release a full fat Hawaii, if they have their next gen ready already? Only 3-4 months until Maxwell is out so they havent got much time.

Could get interesting

 

[Perfect_Chaos]

Wonder if that means r9 390 soon then? Interested to know if it boosts performance much in ue4 games.

 

[pandem0nium]

Wahey! Its been ages since we saw anything new. If they're going to do it, it better be quick before maxwell comes along.

Here's one theory from the comments: crappy ref cooler hit its limit with the 290X?

 

[pandem0nium]

I wonder if some 290x could be flashed to unlock the extra shaders.

My prediction is Kaap will have 2-3 of these on launch day for that important 10% extra

My prediction is I won't.

No point in buying less than 4 and if I did that they would bottleneck and be no quicker than what I have now.

Having said that I am getting close to buying a 4K monitor and it is a lot harder to bottleneck cards at that resolution.

I probably won't get any new GPUs until the full fat next gen cards are with us.
