Solved Amd hd8000

[Solarstarshines]

I guess AMD didn't skip the 8000 series they have OEM versions right now

Uhmmm I am very confused I could of sworn they were going to skip this AMD Radeon

According to the stats It appears to be a renamed 7970 ????:sarc:

I dunno mate, I think you are right on the rebranded bit, I think maybe they were just available to system manufacturers not the public.

At any rate I just put my 7970 up for sale ready for the imminent release of the 9970 or should I say the R9 290X

I want to put both of mine up for sale but not sure how to go about it

I don't trust people in the way of web selling you know Ebay

I have an account and have purchased before but 2x7970's is a hard pill to swallow I am thinking sell one and keep one and get that same GPU time will tell though remember I still have my FX8350 Build I can easily put that together and see if anyone wants to buy it

I am up in the air right now still I could probably beat out a few cards with Xfire but it won't be by a great margin

I sell all my pc part's on Amazon mate. I set up a seller account years ago. It's pretty easy.

 

[Solarstarshines]

Well I did start up a sales proposal on Ebay but i'm not sure if I want to go through selling it yet

I'm going to wait and se what the new cards do before I sell

I had everything up down to putting a picture up but changed my mind :sarc: they still have some arse kicking left in them

I could have sworn I'd read that the 8xxx series were going to be mobile GPUs. I must have dreamed it.

I read last night that the R9-290X and the 9970 are 2 different cards. The R9's are a little pricey too, but they are claimed to be the fastest card in the world. We'll most likely know in 2 more days. I'm not sure how accurate that info is though.

Something similar http://wccftech.com/amd-hawaii-r929...osed-fastest-gpu-planet-1020-mhz-clock-speed/

 

[Solarstarshines]

looks nice I think my two can still beat a titan and the 9970

 

[Solarstarshines]

There is no real need to upgrade these are benches of 7970 vs 780

Seriously if I overclock this card more Ghz ed it will still catch a 780 which is good news GTX 780 isn't that tough

I didn't realise this thread was here so posted this in the unigine thread

If anyone's interested there is an AMD live stream on You Tube at 8pm uk time. I didn't think a thread was nessesary so guessed here would be the best place to post.

I am already watching they are offline AMD has some issues I have to get my daughter in like 20 min from Preschool

Hopefully I won't miss much

 

[ganjiry]

Yeah same lol. time for some Bf3 now. No doubt there wil be posts everywhere 2moz

 

[Solarstarshines]

On another note I don't feel bad the GTX780 only beats mine by 15 frames on stock settings on some games other the margin is with in 5 and other 9

So I can beat a stock GTX780 with my overclock settings and even if they went slight but the kicker is if they overclock the gtx780 I have to really max out a oc on the 7970 to beat them down which I doubt they need too

I also scored higher then a pair of 760's and 770's on 3dmark and a titan with 2x7970's if I had 2xs 7990's forget about it everything will DIE by my hands

Load of crap that is then, can't watch it full stop! The legendary new GPU and you can't watch it cos it's crashed the servers lol.

 

[paulpicks21]

Looks like it's working now.

I don't know if youtube is working, but I have been watching it here - amd live - live streaming video powered by Livestream

For the last 20 mins they have been talking about sound, totally boring and not what I am interested in!

The top 3 models are the R9 270X, R9 280X and R9 290X, I didn't catch the price on the top one but I can tell you the lower 2 are priced at $200 and $300 respectively. And they said the top one will be available to pre-order on Oct 3rd and there will be a limited amount that come with BF4.
