Anybody want to join me in holding a minutes silence for Boom's elephant. RIP.....
The Sony RX100 MK1 is now under £300 with cashback. Has a 20MP 1" sensor with a Carl Zeiss Sonnar 28-100mm/f1.8 to f4.9 lens.
Edit!!
I had a Rollei 3.5F for a while - lovely camera,but getting film processed was a pain.
Supposedly the new Deus Ex engine has been heavily reworked for DX12, how well and how heavily we don't know. But it looks like a fairly heavy implementation. In fact, I don't know if there is a DX11 version ... possible it's been cancelled as W10 is now a free upgrade for W7 / 8 users - they haven't said anything about it. Some of the game world complexity stuff they showed at E3 would be a bit difficult to replicate in DX11, I suspect.
But yeah ... AOTS is the DX12 / Vulkan posterchild, and will no doubt be the go-to DX12 benchmark once W10 drops.
You can not beat the quality of medium format.
Photographers still use RX 67s even though they don't make them anymore. Where I got used to them I used to use a RZ 67 like most people used 35mm.
Boomstick, how is the noise at load of the Fury X compared to other cards? I heard there was a problem with the sound of the pump being too loud and AMD asking cooler master to fix it.
I felt bad selling my Rollei 3.5F,as it was a lovely piece of engineering and the Planar lens might have been decades old but it was blooming awesome.
Having said,the D600 I know use is not too bad!!
But do want an upgrade my Canon S95 compact,so not sure whether to get that RX100 or a Fuji XE1/XE2. First world problems,LOL!
Crysis 3 1080P @ Very High SMAA X 1
Runs really nice some drops below 60 some highs but average around 60FPS, with V-Sync on it's nice. Memory usage around 1400MB.
Highs 80+
Average 60
Lows 50
Fury X @ 1120Mhz
5820K @ Stock
Pics below, see temps vram usage.
Photography is a strange technology where pics taken 100 years ago on ancient 10 x 8 cameras are far superior to what most people take today.
That was sample units I think you are talking about. The customer units are different?
I can only speak for mine. It's really quiet, quiet at IDLE and quiet under LOAD. The actual fan speed doesn't seem to change, it's seems the same to me in IDLE as in LOAD.
Really good cooling design. especially for Reference.
Nah, it is totally the wrong way to do it.
Just look at how many 980Ti's ocuk alone have shipped today. Over 500 according to Gibbo. Many of these are people who would have opted for the Fury had the reviews not been a bit meh. These are all lost sales to AMD, some of which will also have now bought in to the Nvidia ecosystem with G-Sync meaning they are unlikely to go back to AMD for some time.
Yes, driver performance will improve over time. But to try and say that releasing the cards when driver performance is so poor (relatively speaking) is the right way to do it is way off the mark.
For what it is worth, I like the Fury from what I have seen. It may not be as good as some of the pre release hype (not from AMD themselves) would have suggested, but it does offer comparative performance to the Nvidia top tier cards.
Still, I am baffled by the decision to go with HDMI 1.4a
That game looks astonishing, what engine is that?
I have not got a Fury X in a PC yet but I would be very interested to see how one goes on Crysis 3 @1080p using 8XMSAA and maxed on the other settings.
I suspect it will do well.
