Ha I just have a massive problem paying the prices they are charging for the performance we are getting. It stinks. It's why I've not touched my PC for proper gaming in months and use my PS4 exclusively now.

Yea, I hear that. I think PC gaming is going to have a real problem if the new console gens deliver 4k for ~£600. There will always be enthusiasts, but folks (myself included) are a bit more sane, even if we have the disposable dinari.

If the next gen consoles are based on a Zen2/Navi APU, it'll be interesting indeed....

specially if they support dual TV/Monitor set ups. wouldn't put it past them to include capture hardware/software to viral that of people using a PC system to do that work with a console

.... and, hopefully, adaptive sync - as some TVs have that as a feature.

Gibbo will the card be released dead on 2pm?

Yes we will be live around 14:00, it is impossible for us to launch bang on, so we either be a few mins early or a few mins late, that is all down to our servers and either how fast or how slow they update the website. Desktop site will update first, then the mobile site.
If you want first stocks, be sure to order with a debit or credit card, not amazon or paypal as they take longer to reach us.

Evidently not, look at the market share.

Synopsis: the card can overclock, but drivers to overclocked are borked.

They already do.

Yeahhhhh bought the card in the Netherlands. One of the retailer put it online...

Not really, they can do 4k in some instances but they have dynamic res scaling so you might only get actual 4k for a few mins before that kicks in.

Upscaled 4k = meh

Quite a few games on the One X are native 4k. Some are upscaled or dynamics resolution.

Thanks Gibbo! Will we need to search just AMD Radeon 7 or just Radeon 7 like will it come up with all the same options and choices of cards?

This is actually pretty scary
I sold my vega 64 yesterday so if this goes badly I will be on onboard graphics :/

They might if they come with mouse and Keyboard support.

Most are upscaled or alter the res on the fly while you're playing, all depends on the target framerate. It can do 4k 30fps in some games but 60fps in games is not very common.
