I think that ATI will release a 295X/290XT/295XT/295X1 at the next announcement, with the full Hawaii XTX die. Is this reasonable?

Hawaii XTX has been debunked.

If anything is will be a Tonga based 290x replacement.
 
It's been seven years, people. ATI does not exist outside of copyrights and patents.

No, ATI does not exist anymore. There is no " ATI" devision of AMD. The only reason the word ATI exists anymore is because of still-existing copyrights and patents the now-non-existent company filed years ago.

ATI still exists.
 
would a higher core variant of the 285 perform on par with the gtx 980? Does anyone know how much wiggle room they had to add moar cores?
 
The question is - can they beat energy efficiency of maxwell and offer more performance while using less than 200w. If not, I'm not interested

If it beats maxwell by at least 20% (OC vs OC), I could care less about heat as long as it's managed properly. I thought [H] was more about M5s rather than Prius's :)

It's couldn't. You COULDN'T careless. Saying you could careless means there is room for giving less shit.

Yea, it something he cares so little about he could even care less and it would not matter. Why is being rigged in the amount you don’t care anymore descriptive as to the fact that, you don’t care?

Maybe I do give a partial shit! Or maybe I'm posting from a tiny iPhone 4 screen and I'm too broke to buy new contacts... but a new high end GPU I can find the cash for!

Well, the 285 is not a full core, there are a few units disabled on it. My guess is that fully enabled it would still sit slower than a 290.

Drivers still install software to "ATI Technologies" directory. Strange that they would keep that if ATi is truly gone.

I don't see Nvidia drivers installing data to a "3dfx technologies" folder, lol.

Quote me. I said a little something about copyrights and patents. AMD can't use the name 'Catalyst' without citing ATI's ownership, mostly to maintain the integrity of the copyright.

Yeah here on [H] I thought we were a little more concerned with raw pixel pushing power, I dont care about wattage as long as it performs faster than the last gen. 100w in savings is nothing on my power bill during my 5ish hrs of gaming per week, I want to be able to max out my 4K with all the eye candy at a solid 60fps, dont care if it takes 700w or 900w just bring me the performance!

Agree in part.. I do not care about power consumption until that become a problem to cooling performance with high noise levels.. i do not want my case to be a heating unit, specially in my 30C tropical ambient temperature with high humidity... thats a truly concern for me, more than any other thing.. why its power consumption important here? the less power the less cooling needed for the entire system..

I understand your point, and would love not to worry about power bill. But, I live in country which ahs one of the highest energy prices in Europe. When you take price of 100 kWh to Purchase Power Parrity (how much energy you can buy with average pay), we pay like 25,9 for it (when in Finald it's like 12 and in France 13)... so when the cost of running computer makes about 20% of my power bill, I take a lot of interest in power consumption. And if cards would be pulling 900W, I'd have to move to console gaming, as I could not afford PC gaming.

This is an extremely eye opening aspect that many of us gamers in North America simply do not have to worry about. We really do have relativeley cheap energy here. Hell I've lived in an apt building and have heat and hydro included so I too don't have to worry about the cost.

I almost think it may be better if in NA we paid more for energy as so many people here take it for granted and simply waste energy "because its so cheap".

Well go and tell your landlord you want your rent to be higher because you feel you aren't paying enough for electricity.
