AMD Hawaii GPU might launch on September 25

AMD is planning to introduce its Hawaii GPU at the end of September according to a report on BSN. A press event is set to take place on September 23rd in Hawaii and the public launch is expected on September 25th. It's unknown when the card will hit retail shelves though.

BSN: We just got confirmation that AMD will be launching their latest GPU codenamed Hawaii. The event will be scheduled during the week of September 23rd, and there will be a live streamed public event on the 25th that will introduce AMD's new flagship GPU to the world. Some details will be saved for a later date, however, AMD is planning to make an event out of this with some interesting details that include aircraft carriers and some more sneak previews of Battlefield 4.

Yes, let's remember that Battlefield 4 is coming out soon and it looks like AMD's new Hawaii GPU is probably going to be the GPU that it will bundle with. The timing is great for AMD since they'll likely officially launch the GPU and start selling them sometime in early October.

We can't confirm this at all though.

So hows radeon pro looking these days? If I do switch back to AMD, I would hope there's some sort of tool to tweak my games.

Yery good actually:
Apart form the usual tweaks ATI/AMD drivers had for years, you can now force FXAA and SMAA, there is also support for Adaptive Vsync...
Support for 64-bit Applications is implemented, however it doesn't detect all applications yet.

Without saying SweetFX can be integrate directly on radeonPro, and the funny thing, it work on games where Sweetfx dont work for Nvidia gpu's due to this.

Good, Q3-Q4 2014 will be crazy

Btw I spotted possible perf. of 9970 and looks like a 2560core.
The Hawaii GPU which falls in AMD’s Radeon HD line of graphic cards scores 4816 Points in Extreme preset. A quick Google on the intent reveals that the GeForce GTX Titan ends up with a score of 4500-4700 Points on Extreme preset while the GeForce GTX 780 scores a bit lower around 4400-4500 Points.
The performance looks much more impressive when comparing generation vs generation (Southern Islands vs Volcanic Islands). The Radeon HD 7970 scores 3300-3500 points in the same benchmark so this is a major increase in performance on AMD’s end.

Imo a GK110 response., that real VI in 20nm ~ Q4 2014 should be more interesting
