Livestream is live! Really live!

I should have just watched the Nintendo conference. Didn't realize it was on at the same time slot.
 
The R9 Nano looks like a beast. Really changing the game with this launch. Anyone looking to buy my gtx 970?!
 
Well that was a helluva Star Wars PC reveal....what 15 seconds total of a cut up likely cherry picked bit of footage.
 
all i heard was bla-bla-bla bullshit.. marketing crap.. no numbers.. really underwhelmed :(
 
Wow I am pretty disappointed. "Fastest graphics card in the world." and not a single performance figure in actual NEW games. The games they ran in 4K on Fury were Sniper Elite 3 and Tomb Raider WTF.
 
Can not wait for review sites like this to get their hands on it and run it through its paces to make sure all that crap that just slung at us is true.

For all we know they talking about Fury VR or the X2 version as the fastest and the fury nano as the lowest performance per watt cards

without a benchmark vs the 980 ti or titan x all those slogans mean crap
 
As I said, hiding performance numbers is NOT a good sign of things to come
 
If you guys expected performance numbers you clearly haven't watched one of these before. They're never going to give you benchmarks on a product reveal, at least not like what you'll see in reviews.

Exactly! That's what Kyle and the [H]ardocp crew is for. :)

True I wasn't expecting a breakdown, but I was expecting them to give me the frame rate on a NEW game like the very popular GTAV in 4k not a 2 year old game like Tomb Raider or Sniper Elite 3.
 
AMD gave more numbers than I thought they would for a product launch!

Now, this is the first time since the 5870 launch I am really, really excited for a next generation GPU! I really like the Nano for the HTPC, and looking at that water cooled Fury for me! Mmm, 2 new builds, been too long...

Now we will see for reviews! :)
 
I know this card probably won't be a show stopper like the Radeon 9700 PRO was (if it does then holy shit) but for $649, I am pleased.

I honestly expected it to be a higher. I'm in for 2.
 
They didn't give performance details on the Hawaii reveal, and that was a very stout chip at release. So I wouldn't take the lack of benchmarks as a sign that the chip has performance issues. I'm waiting for the 24th, then will probably pick up a new GPU depending on how everything shakes out :)

I would think if it was the fastest consumer GPU on Earth though, they would tout that fact.
 
mango is a nvidia fanboi.

as are everyone else calling it a fail without any numbers.

Hahaa this is hilarious and sad at the same time. RIP AMD

To be honest, I dont even remember the 980TI launch. This presentation was much more interesting, so I would call it a success. Left me wanting for more info. :D

We didn´t get perfomance numbers, but the innovations themselves was very interesting. Fiji Nano as example, never seen such small form factor in an air-cooled highend card. In addition, the reference cooler has been totally redesigned.

Fiji XT with watercooling and small form factor was nice, though the rumors have already spoiled the surprise a bit. 275W while keeping it at 50C will be fun to see if it holds true when reviewers gets their hands on them.

The quantum or whatever box that hosts 2 Fiji and which is supposedly "whisper quiet" cought my interest as well.

Framerate cap in drivers that doesnt just drop frames, but that reduces frames produced is something I look forward to as a "quiet system builder".

LiquidVR etc. was something I found personally interesting, since I have both dev kits.
