    AMD launching open-source GameWorks alternative; GPUOpen

    Well according to the article and the quote in the OP it launches in January so some time after that I'd guess. Assuming that wasn't just a criticism disingenuously dressed up as a question mind you. Regarding the GPU "question" I'd suppose it's because it's the more widely understood term...

    Just Cause 3 to feature GameWorks!

    Is this some sort performance art to you? PC games would be set back 5 years sans Gameworks? Fucken laughable, not even worth discussing. Also the phrase "AMD has poor support for Gameworks" shows your either ignorant or being intentionaly obtuse. Your deep emotional attachment to Nvidia has...

    Fallout 4 Benchmarks

    Well I don't want to get too far off topic but I was refering to it having a similar effect on performance more than the visual differences. That being said I find the differences visually to be pretty minimal High vs Ultra (it's farily noticable in the distance) especially when you're driving...

    Fallout 4 Benchmarks

    What an odd rant in response to what you quoted, can we not make this into some sad partisan donnybrook? It looks like the God Rays setting is a good way to gain back some significant performance without a huge visual impact. Reminds me of grass quality in GTA. Looking forward to diving in.

    Anno 2205 crippled on all AMD & Kepler GPUs

    Still it's not an explanation for the 960 beating a 780 as it has less Tess. performance.

    ITC: Nvidia did not invent the GPU

    No, you're incorrect. "Judge Thomas Pender said Samsung did not infringe two Nvidia patents, and while it did infringe a third, he ruled that patent is invalid because it was not a new invention compared with previously known patents." It's the second paragraph not sure how you missed it...

    You just repeated yourself mostly and ignored the 970 v 390.

    StarWars Battlefront performance Preview

    R9 390 > 970 pretty comprehensively, that's a lead. In fact it's trading blows with the 980 depending on resolution. Even the 290x is faster than the 980 above 1080p. Top cards are pretty much a wash but it's painfully (for you it seems) obvious that AMD leads in this particular game regardless...

    Are you buying a Nano

    Agreed, pointless poll. Simple question but a stupid one. Quality post OP just like your poll, classy stuff. Frothy and emotional about video cards, calling someone "nothing" on a tech forum, some juvenile homo-erotic insult. Really ticking all the boxes. :o

    AMD Not providing R9 Nano samples to several sites.

    PC Per. Same set of games/settings as their last Nvidia review, tested in a Cooler Master Elite 110 Mini ITX chassis with no loss of performance. "Sure...", "probably...", "...ass handed to by 970...". All wrong. :p

    AMD takes yet another market share blow

    What kind of documentation would you find acceptable? In fact even theoretically what kind of documentation could you ever expect with this type of claim? Nvidia in a billion years aren't going to admit anything like this (not to imply this claim is even true), no company ever would. You've...

    AMD takes yet another market share blow

    It's almost like you are reveling in the performance of a company in a market (dGPU) that's already a duopoly? Do you think this makes your previous infantile comments somehow justified? It doesn't. Nvidia's successes aren't your successes and when AMD does badly it's not a win for you. Just...

    Nvidia publicly bashing Stardock developer over an ALPHA level game

    Didn't take long. Your comment shows a complete lack of comprehension (or willful ignorance) of the issues people raised, correctly or not, about Gameworks. It's an inept comparison. /cringe I'd be in the market for a clue or a life first if I was you.

    This is why Fury X can't ever touch Maxwell

    Not sure why I'm getting a "nope"? I didn't create those expectations, AMD marketing and their "fans" were clearly wrong. Same architecture and same process node. It's not exactly going out on a limb (or worthy or self congratulation) to predict the clocks would reach a similar level. My point...

    This is why Fury X can't ever touch Maxwell

    As much as you want to set yourself up as a victim of "haters" and feel good being right, you're not either. It's clearly not "maxed from the factory" the review shows a 100MHz overclock with negative 24mV. How is that "maxed out"? Clearly 980ti is a better overclocker but anyone familiar with...

    This is why Fury X can't ever touch Maxwell

    Bit academic when none of the cards are fast enough right? So desperate to praise Nvidia that you'll trumpet a win even when games are not playable on any of the cards. Playing games is the point remember? Not some pathetic pissing contest between brands. I'd expect such a seasoned troll to...

    AMD Radeon R9 Fury X 4K Video Card Review @ [H]

    Solid win for Nvidia but it seems that single GPU power is still not ready for 4K yet anyway so it's kind of academic (the 980ti is a beast @1440p though). Hope there is a SLI vs CF review in the works? Should exposed the 4GB handicap (and maybe even 6GB) more markedly than single cards.

    This is why Fury X can't ever touch Maxwell

    The idea when you quote someone is to respond to what you quoted, not rant about invented "insecurity" and what 980ti owners "know". He's right though Fury X is very close to 980ti, slower but close. You tried to deflect the question of providing proof it gets "stomped" because you can't...

    This is why Fury X can't ever touch Maxwell

    980ti is a great card agreed, the best out there currently. That said your desperation to praise Nvidia at all costs has affected your judgment. These current cards are all stopgaps created by the inability to deliver a viable 20nm process and will be superseded quickly (If TSMC can deliver on...

    A korean off brand gsync panel... will probably never exist

    You keep repeating this over and over like it has some meaning. With the implication that this makes Freesync + Adaptive Sync just as proprietary as G-Sync. Of course the software that lets AMD's cards interface with the Adaptive Sync standard (Freesync) is proprietary and closed. What use...

    Fanboys,

    I spat my drink seeing you posting in this thread! Your cognitive bias is so rampant you're now even willing to imply AMD is somehow responsible for fanboyism! If you didn't believe you own BS you'd be pretty amusing. On-topic I can understand people having a positive or negative feeling...

    AMD HBM High Bandwidth Memory Technology Unveiled @ [H]

    The power usage gains mean more room in the TDP budget for clock-speed which is cool. Not that 20-30W is going to change the world but it's all progress! Should open up some cool options for Mini-ITX builds also. Always cool to see new tech coming through.

    Grand Theft Auto V IQ Features Performance - Part 3 @ [H]

    Thanks guys, good read. Another setting worth reducing is shadow quality and using softer shadows. I think something like grass:high + shadow quality:high (+softer) with the advanced settings off can work with 2x MSAA and FXAA and looks pretty good. I'm pretty bigoted when it comes to jaggies...

    Good upgrade on a budget

    Yes, sorry for not being more clear I meant the PSU fan hardly turns on (according to Jonnyguru it comes on at about 300w+ usage in a hotbox). It works fine. Didn't mean to confuse.

    Good upgrade on a budget

    Yeah, they are super-conservative on the recommend supplies to account for awful, heavily overrated units. That's system usage with a Intel Core i7-4960X @ 4.2GHz. I struggle to get the fan to turn on with my 760w

    GTX 970 flaw

    This is such a poor argument. I see a lot of whataboutism/tu quoque in threads about this issue. What AMD has done or might have done doesn't have any relevance to the mistakes Nvidia has made in regards to this issue. AMD could have adverstised a card as having 100 ROPS which had 10 and it...

    Far Cry 4 Video Card Performance Review @ [H]

    This is hilarious, XMDA is a terrible comparison to use for Gameworks.

They are not relevant to each other in any way at all, even for...

    Watch Dogs AMD & NVIDIA GPU Performance Preview @ [H]

    I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion that the VRAM requirements are due to the game being "unoptimized" or a "lack of programming skills" from the developer? I was under the impression that the only way to reduce this (besides some sort of compression) would be to use smaller...

    XFX R9 290X Double Dissipation Overclocking Review @ [H]

    I have had the same experiences with 14.1 vs 13.12 with my Tri-X 290. Although in my case the throttling was mild (1150 down to 1000 with some variation). Any voltage above stock using 14.1 caused clock throttling regardless of power limit or temp, very repeatable. Will have to try 14.2. Not...

    I don't even consider what OCZ as bad as this(It was still scummy), they changed to a different process node not a entirely different, vastly inferior, type of NAND. They also exchanged drives after it all came to light. Kingston seems happy to hide behind the fact that the ATTO benchmark...
