wait for the benchmarks :)

Artic Islands will be fighting Pascal, there's already been articles on it. We're still quite a ways from 14/16 nm http://www.techpowerup.com/211973/a...-to-14-nm-with-arctic-islands-gpu-family.html

OK now you did it. Ruined the thread with logic. What were you thinking? lol!!!

Man these last few posts are quite laughable, not yours but those preceding. Complain about a radiator that keeps the card to a cool 50C. Guess the positive was too far over their heads. Complain about 4Gb of Vram when a couple of benchmarks show not only the bandwidth superiority at 4K but the minimum fps increase. In case some missed that "MINIMUM FPS INCREASE" which makes for better overall gameplay. Of course I say we reserve judgment till after we see numerous benchmarks and perceptions not released by AMD.

These NVidia fanboys are amusing when it comes to their denial of all things related to performance per dollar... They really reach with some of their 'logic'.

With the 300 series, AMD updated their lineup with the last of the gddr5 cards, and simplified what was a very confusing 200 series lineup...

At the end of the day, the 300 series is a NEEDED update over the 200 series in the sense that:
1) Now all 'new series' cards are DX 12 capable, no confusion.
2) Less SKUs, less confusion.
3) The solid GPUs with 'future-tech' kept and given additional 'future-proofing' gddr5 from remaining inventories.
4) Allowed them to work on real 'future tech', bringing HBM to market.

And with the gddr5/DX12 lineup all refreshed and updated/'future proofed', and HBM technology having been brought to market by AMD and proven to work... Its time for AMD to work on their Pascal killer, the 400 series! I suspect a full HBM2-only lineup using knowledge gained from HBM experience, something only AMD has.

Real stories: Old AMD tech still matches new NVidia tech, while AMD gets head start on 'next generation' tech...
