No new rumors in a while. Nothing to talk about.This thread seems to be dead now. What happend, has everybody lost their hype for this already?

Nothing new to discuss.
If that's the case, then AMD has failed.If AMD puts out 90% of a Titan X at 80-90% of the price
Define 'cheap'
Loving the username by the way!
I would assume reasonably priced HDMI 2.0 cards will come out with the low to midrange cards of the next generation coming. Hopefully some of AMD's low end R7 300 series cards will support it.
And the Hawaii rebrands? I can't even. Those cards have been an embarrassment for the last 6 months... I don't know why AMD would even entertain the idea of keeping them around.
I can wait one more month for a HDMI 2.0 GPU... or it is going to be NVIDIA again.
Really was hoping to go AMD this time around. Specially if they can can support the "advertised" PLP eyefinity.
Guys they will release the GPU's at Computex. That is in June, a little over 2 months away.
AMD is still trying to sell the R9 2xx series, this is their business plan- sell whatever they can of the R9 2xx series and then finally release the 3xx series.
Heck they might not even release it at Computex, that might just be a paper launch.
probobly more than that, PCB shipments were leaked back in January.
If AMD puts out 90% of a Titan X at 80-90% of the price, I'd probably be all over it.
1 you can forget about - AMD have never achieved that for any of their products, no matter how long after launch
2 That should be pretty doable, but depends if you want max detail, AA and the likes. Two 290Xs can already do pretty well here if you can disable just one or two settings.
3 Pretty much a given I think, though again, see caveat above
4 Probably also a given, if not by much
5 Much as I'd like this to be true, sadly I fear it unlikely. The card will unqestionably be 250W+ so unless AMD have finally made a decent reference cooler that can handle that sort of load, you'll have to wait for non-ref cards to cure the noise, which will mean the 'melt my case' point will still be valid
*cough* it has already been in mass production for ~1month *cough*
It's not about having the card ready to ship. It is about dumping the old inventory.
If they don't sell a good about of the R9 2xx they will delay the 3xx yet again, but hey they can still give us a paper launch at Computex
3xx should have been out a while ago... just look at when this thread was started.
Ahh the delicate balance between pleasing retailers and your PCB manufacturers, and doing what's in the best interest for your company. If they want to claw back market share they're going to have to do things their way. Hits are going to be taken financially regardless. A product being on the market for 1 1/2+ years is already abnormal. If AMD keeps pushing these long 1 1/2 - 2 year cycles they're going to be irrelevant after the R9-300 unless it completely surprises.
I laughed at their 2015-2020 roadmap because it makes the assumption that they'll still have enough market share that people care. Only way I see them returning market share is by releasing at least two generations on a rapid release cycle, or dropping a product that is 50% better than Nvidia across the board at each entry point.
75% vs 25% is a gap in the GPU world of historical proportions. Something we've never seen, nor do we fully know the future consequences of.
Or maybe just release a driver that doesn't have random flickering issues.

I'm in Florida trust me when I say it's still Spring.
Who said the cards will launch "Summer"? We've been saying July for the last 3 months. If you weren't planning on waiting until July, why did you wait this long?!
If AMD gets it out slower than a Titan X than Nvidia will be laughing. There was a rumor recently that Nvidia will be preparing a Titan X Ultra, which is suppose to be similarly watercooled AIO, but also heavily overclocked to compete with the 390X.
So Nvidia must know something about the upcoming competitor card if they already seem to be on their toes.
