AMDMatt should know if the Cards are capable of HDMI 2.0 - he would have already tweeted a correction by now. He sees and talks to the lead engineer on a daily bases. I highly doubt he would screw something of this magnitude up, HDMI 2.0 was on of Nvidias selling points when the 980 was...

I think its a pretty big deal considering Windows 10 is right around the corner releasing console games like Gears of War ultimate, Killer Instinct crossplay. More and more people are building PCs (steam boxes) amd showed a small form factor a little bigger then the xbox one so of course people...

I looked for adapters and found no such adapter that magically make my refresh rate go up at 4k. I even thought that I would need to get a faster HDMI cable then found out 1.4a cables would still output to 60 refresh rate on Nvidia cards

Well, I am currently running 2 r9 290x gpu cards and bought a 4k TV with hdmi 2.0 only to find out that my r9 290x cards would only run a max refresh rate of 30 hertz = 30 fps at 3840 x 2160 and while I live with it and the games like Shadow of Mordor looks damn good; I have no incentive to...

When the 300 series come out, it should be hdmi 2.0; will I need to buy a new hdmi cable as well?

I recently bought a p series Vizio because of the HDMI 2.0 port for fairly cheap. I was reading that the 290x GPU is only capable of doing 30fps @ 30 hertz so my question is how am I hitting 60 fps on Shadow of Mordor, Batman AC, Dying Light at 4k? When going into game settings, I am able...

I bought 2 MSI 7970R reference cooler cards clocked @ 1010mhz factory and the highest temps I hit are around 63 degrees

This article may help you as it did me... http://blog.szynalski.com/2012/11/25/the-right-way-to-stress-test-an-overclocked-pc/

Well, the OP never mentioned overclocking the card and for a little more he could get a faster factory core clock without having to experiment with the settings. I personally had a few tweaking issues overclocking the 7950, 7970 and 670. Comes down to time if the OP has time to tweak the...

I would at least go with a factory overclocked gpu; that card is 925mhz, my msi 7970's are factory OC@ 1010mhz Also consider that this card will generate lots of heat within your case, I prefer the reference coolers even though it heats up my room but I know its not heating up my case.

@ the unknown one, what games are you having issues with micro stutter now outside of directx 9? I think it should come down to what your brain processes when looking at the game on screen vs fixating on numbers not visible to the naked eye, get my point?

So tomorrow is officially the moment of truth? What games do you guys plan on firing up first? I'll try rage first as its the only game i can visibly see stuttering on my xfire setup...

^^^ I agree and for you people that don't have a AMD GPU, hit Backspace on your keyboard now!

@ the unknown one, I can understand your frustration with EyeFinity not working correctly. It cost me a lot of money when I had a three monitor setup a few years ago. My rule of thumb is updating every 2-3 generations so seeing that you are using a 6970, I think the GTX 780 would be the...

.I still think the price vs performance ratio sucks on Nvidia, You pay a premium price for a little extra performance and any kind of overclocking voids your warranty correct? Perhaps Nvidia's surround vision is better then Eyefinity. My 480's worked great @ 6002 x 1080p a few years back, I...

You must be a NVidia fanny otherwise you would not accuse AMD of lying without facts. Go update your sig and stay on the Nvidia flavor side please.

I come into the AMD flavor forums and click on a thread that should be optimistic and I see a bunch of bitter posts such as this one. Ok, so you are still having all these problems after years of trying to fix them? So your point is its AMD's fault. Sell your AMD card and buy one from Nvidia...

I could have sworn this was the AMD Flavor forum?

Good for you, now that you got that off your chest; shouldn't you be heading back to the Nvidia Flavor side of the forums?

You can view my MB in my sig. I have been using Corsair Dom GT 1866 modules and was having random crashes but grew tired of it so I dug and found out my ram was part of the issue. I lowered the frequency to 1333 and my system has been stable ever since. If I raise it to 1600 or above, my...

OP, You said the fan noise started getting louder when you played borderlands 2. Was this the first time you played borderlands 2 or anything heavy since you purchased the card? I agree with iRevert, you are not attuned to the noise your fan makes when playing higher end games. Your GPU is...

My gpu usage does not hit a 100 percent unless its sleeping dogs or Crysis 3 both maxed out... Tomb Raider on the other hand only hits between 50 - 65 percent scaling, Its not the best optimized game for the pc and crashes when trying to enable 2 or 4 x MSAA I did notice my cards scaling...

Yeah, a lot depends on your case airflow. For example, I have a H100 with a push/pull setup (a air filter between to keep dust out) 2 120 fans blowing straight down into the case with a 120 exhaust fan and 2 120 side fans aimed directly at my 2 reference cards. I hit between 61 - 65c degrees max

In direct response to the OP, I would find a local store where you can try out a few options, at least you have a chance to take the gpu or gpu's back. The Titan is currently the fastest single gpu card available but it would take 2 of them to power most current AAA titles such as Tomb...

Let me rephrase; we the consumer or at least most of us are more interested in seeing the upcoming consoles ps4 and xbox 720 (rumor) more so then the next iteration of gpus this year. AMD happens to be powering the ps4 and xbox so why would they be focused on releasing a 8000 series gpu this...

I honestly think the industry has shifted focus on the next generation consoles for the duration of this year so I would not count on seeing any new GPU's from either party this year.

I agree 100 percent! It would be a better world if people learned the meaning of "logic"

How many other conspiracies do you have piled up because I am 99.9 percent sure none of them are true which is why its just that, a conspiracy http://www.trutv.com/conspiracy/phenomena/moon/gallery.html

What resolution? No way did you have the MSAA maxed out, the game would be unplayable with one card @ 1080p

Ok? I was still able to play bioshock the day it was released on AMD hardware with no problems so I could easily say AMD's support is unmatched because they did not need drivers one day before the game dropped, they already had them :confused: Useless comment :rolleyes:

Its funny how you say AMD fanboys like to bash Nvidia engineers when a lot of AMD engineers recently jumped ship to Nvidia and took some data with them :eek: I think we all try to spend our money wisely and I had lots of time to experiment with this current iteration of cards from both AMD...

Seriously? Why xfire at that resolution? Also, is the micro stuttering constant? You should be able to play on a single card at that resolution.

Some games are not playable at a high resolution settings (ultra) without a second card. 3d especially also comes to mind because its very taxing. A question to the OP, do you feel scammed by AMD because of the articles you read or from self experimentation? I rely on my own experience and...

I had some pretty bad OCD when trying to pick out my cards around 3 months ago. Multiple trips back to the store etc. Tried the following setups... a. 2 GTX 670 MSI power edition b. 2 7970 Diamonds with a core clock of 925 c. 2 R7970 MSI with a core clock of 1010 out of the box...

I still do not think a single card is worth paying a grand for unless it can run every current game at 60 fps / 1080p on the ultra. I would be disappointed with only one Titan, would need another one to best the performance I currently have at under a thousand dollars. I have not had any...

I agree, AMD drivers have been awesome as of lately.

Agreed, I was able to run most games with 2 GTX 480s, still could not run batman AC on max. I can run it at max now with PhysX at medium on my cpu and still hit a avg of 48 fps with a min of 19 on the benchmark.

Yep, one of the main reason why I have not upgraded my laptop.

To the OP, I liked how you stirred up a endless debate with your thread by simply putting (possibly) in the title ;) Good Job! Come back and post when you take the word (possibly) out. I went with Nvidia last generation and AMD this generation, competition is a good thing for the industry...
