The new Radeon card class coming out soon gpus

[Thor.]

The last gpu at the bottom of the list caught my attention, 300gb's a sec memory bandwidth.

 

 

 

R9 290X

• AMD claims this is the "world's most powerful" GPU
  • 6 billion transistors (+2 bill. from Radeon HD 7970 GE)
  • 4 GB GDDR5 (+1 GB from 7970 GE)
  • 5 TFLOPS of compute power (+1 TFLOP from 7970 GE)
  • Capable of rendering 4 billion triangles/sec
  • 300 GB/sec. bandwidth (vs. 288 GB/sec. in 7970 GE)
    • AMD says this bandwidth will support 4K gaming with "100+ layers" of effects

So what do you guys think of this new generation of gpu's coming out, they are not in the same line as the apus, pure gpus here.

If they fixed the micro stuttering it could be good card.

 

I haven't seen any real evidence yet.

Ya that is a prominent problem with many games lately, driver faults. :sad:

I am quite interested in benching the new cards. Just a waiting game really.

Hmm, my Asus 7970 Matrix Platinum @ 1200/1800 is at 345GB/s memory bandwidth.

YA your right, i wonder if the specs are incorrect then.

I am very much considering going the way of the Titan or something higher, i miss the no Micro Stuttering and physx already.

The titan is practically a dual card anyways, 6gb of ddr5 is the thing i'm most pleased about.

Lol it probably be the last and only video card i would ever need..

At 1080p or even 1440p you'd be right, but I think any card, even a Titan, would be stressed running the next generation of games at 2160p.

Maybe.

 

Then again, I'm not even sure if 2160p will catch on. I already can't tell the difference from 1440p to 2160p (1440p qualifies as a retina display at certain sizes), so I can't imagine 2160p will ever be worth the quality/performance ratio.

 

Maybe I'm totally wrong though, this is just my random rambling. I usually spend sub-$300 on video cards, so I don't have much perspective on cards like the Titan or 7970.

When i bought my two 7950's it originally cost me 500$ a pop, so asking for a 1000$ for a card that will last me a life time isn't all that unrealistic to begin with.

Cool thing is i would have tuns of room to actually be able to put a decent sound card in there fro a change, crossfire the thing about it is that it takes up to much space.

 

The ultra D tv's do 2160P but they say they upscale 1080P content to the tv's pixel density, which in return would leave less stress on the hardware you are using.

 

3d without glasses using a nvidia titan would be awesome, i could only dream.

At the moment, I'd say the Titan isn't worth the investment. That's coming from someone with 2.

 

They are great cards, sure, but the Titan Ultra is on the books, so you don't want to get one just so see the all new one in stores a week later :thumbsup:

ultra D

Again with the Ultra D! You really can't accept having an average D, can you? :tongue:

 

As for the topic, it's old news, I just came here because I'm nuts. :smile:
