AMD would not bthe hat stupid to exclude their own motherboards and CPUs from the equation.

pcie3 is like more of an recommendation 😀 There seems to be an error there 😯 it is 5.6 TFLOP/s not 5.16

There was a slide at AMDs GPU14, showing that the embargo (NDA), will be lifted on the 15th October (next Tuesday), so we should get the reviews then. Its over on video you know who. :P

It's been a while since a card was unlockable like that, 6950 -> 6970 ? Lets hope its possible though, that would be sweet 🙂 Still debating whether to just get another 7950 for crossfire?

non x probably be around 780 price x maybe cheaper than titan

How this works well Nvidia is going to take a good bump in the nose.

I'll definitely keep an eye out for the 290 performance. It looks sweet and the pricing should be interesting. Can't wait for benches.

Not the right place to but this but... Will Mantle work with Nvidia cards? Specifically mine?

It will if Nvidia decide to use it, as it is open. 🙂

I can't see nvidia taking advantage of mantle.

nvapi is mante but obviously not as efficient since its still kinda using dx11api in bf3/bf4, mantle has a special driver api so there's no dx11api overhead involved.

NVAPI is NVIDIA's core software development kit that allows direct access to NVIDIA GPUs and drivers on all windows platforms. NVAPI provides support for categories of operations that range beyond the scope of those found in familiar graphics APIs such as DirectX and OpenGL. https://developer.nvidia.com/nvapi#categories
