What the shit, AMD? I thought you'd been saying you were looking to get market share back, and would price accordingly.

And then you charge $329 for your cheapest processor?

aaand why were these drivers not ready for these games a long time ago? especially star wars? it is an AMD console game right?

Have to agree with that. I know it's "Vermintide" but just having Skaven only - and only a few different classes at that - was a bad move. They should have had all manner of Warhammer enemies.

So, did you just completely make all of that up, or...?
Yeah, yeah you did. You totally did.
And then calling it "conservative" is a nice touch. Bold. Very bold.

Well of course it's completely made up. That's what "estimated total" implies. Please tell me you know what "estimated" means?

My conservative estimate is that you need a dictionary. Estimate implies you have some factual basis or experience for your guess without being able to know the exact amount. It does not mean pull numbers out of the air, apply words that don't mean what you think they do, and then back pedal when half the forum takes you to task.

Estimate
- To calculate approximately (the amount, extent, magnitude, position, or value of something).
- To form an opinion about; evaluate.
- A tentative evaluation or rough calculation, as of worth, quantity, or size.
- A judgment based on one's impressions; an opinion.

All of that relates to my numbers. Perhaps my numbers were high but it doesn't mean they were right or wrong in the first place. I was simply guessing for the sake of contributing to the conversation.

The combat could surely be improved but why does it suck?

Yep, it's a no-brainer...You're going to drop $650 on yesterday's tech, or tomorrow's? HBM is the future, and the potential of the Fury has yet to be tapped, imo. First really exciting tech advance in discrete 3d cards since R300 back in 2002.

It might be exciting but its a non-starter for performance right now. Nvidia is already pressing ahead to HBM2 for cards early next year, neatly skipping all of the new tech teething issues while still retaining the performance crown.

I've owned many AMD cards over the years but they're just something to keep Nvidia honest at this point.

Exactly. When was the last time AMD had game-ready drivers on release day? Or even a month later for that matter?

I love it when they give 45 cent games away for free.

Why even charge for it in the first place?

Ever since I installed the driver set which gave performance boost to Wildstar, my monitor has been a real pain in the ass where I would turn on my PC and anywhere from five to 30 minutes would go by before it realized it wasn't in some kind of sleep mode. It's getting feed because it's not showing the no input bubble. Powercycle and keymashing gave no results and it usually boiled down to waiting, rebooting, and more waiting and it's really aggravating. It'll trick me sometimes too where the monitor will come on but in an unsupported resolution so I hit detect and it fucks off for another few minutes.

I went in to the power settings and turned off PCI-E Link or whatever but I don't know if it was off or on prior to this shitstorm to see if it works and I'm not exactly inclined to play Russian roulette by rebooting my system.

Is this where Nvidia gets to cry foul about their competitor getting to have an edge in certain games now like AMD did?

They can try, the difference is the SDK is open to anyone who wants to implement it, that includes nvidia.

This is FUD in every way possible.... Seriously, where the hell do people get that this is an open API? When you can not download the SDK publicly and you can not read the API specs then it's not a open API.

AMD said they will make it open early 2014, but until now 12 June 2014, fuck all has happened. Access is stricly limited to AMD selected developers. The api itself is locked behind a NDA and is not part of any open standards body. (Like Khronos Group)

So no, nobody can support mantle except choice developers selected by AMD ONLY (Currently)

And dx12, which will do what Mantle does but platform agnostic, will come in late 2015...

I truly wish AMD would open the API and put it into OpenGL.. so it's not that I am hating on them here, I just think it should be clear that this isn't an open API.

But didn't mantle become a bust? They were claiming improvements of 30%, but all I ever saw in real-world testing was 5-10%.

Mantle is probably worth if it you have a weaker system otherwise (CPU), especially with how far AMD CPUs are behind Intel's these days. Still, I think we'll see more universal results with DX12. I'm not bashing Mantle per se but...getting closer to the metal has been around since before Glide FX (a fact I've stated before in Mantle threads). I think a lot of people (and fanboys) over-hyped the concept since, as usual, they don't know what the hell they're talking about. I think it's a step in the right direction but it's evolutionary not revolutionary.
