580s readily available for price point less then they launched at LMFAO

it might have looked "nice" from naming standpoint, but AMD should have and could have named them exactly as the way the core design was followed by number Ryzen 1xxx, Ryzen+ 2xxx (which includes raven ridge) Ryzen 2 3xxx and so forth, or, Ryzen 2017 1xxx, Ryzen 2018 2xxx, Ryzen 2019 3xxx (more...

DVI-D dual link is technically capable of 2560x1600 (effectively identical to what HDMI can push out)

AMD in it to make money fully understand that, however, the 1xxx when 2xxx released they did not seem to "drop" much price point and the 3xx motherboards vs 4xx (which were SUPPOSED to be lower cost to produce so therefore at a lower MSRP launch day) also did not seem to materialize. it must be...

cool "mew" cards that are just as likely to be overpriced and nowhere to buy them from LMAO. granted I like the "look" of the Armor MKII and this Mech Z (which appears to be a little more fully closed in than the Armor/Armor MKII, kind of like the Gaming X branding) time will tell. but...

as for the above why didnt they force a new branding from AIB (such as Asus, MSI, Gigabyte) instead of forcing them to force the GPU branding for Ngreedia usage...why would they, Nvidia is "known" to do the least amount of work possible, demand the higher $$$$$$$ from it, and cheap out on...

I hope the AIB really stick it to Nvidia basically "cool you made us give you our gpu branding that we took years and many millions of dollars to build, no problem, we also support AMD because they aren't greedy mofos like you are, so we are also making sure they get the best cooling we can...

I was looking at RX 560 myself last couple of days, but if already have a 7870 (which can play MOST games at medium and high settings with sometimes need to drop medium or low very few more graphic heavy settings usually in poorly optimized games such as GTA V) an RX 560 4gb 1024 shader model is...

I personally think many folks do NOT really test the games thoroughly before they give an opinion I have been using my Phenom II 955 at 3.5-4Ghz for the last couple of years with a Radeon 7870, the vast majority of games out there I can run very well at high settings 1080p no problems the few...

price gouging, the makers wanting a higher price than the design actually is "worth" and with the ram shortage causing an increase in price to begin with really does not help, some folks mentioned mining as the biggest reason, it has an effect on it, yes, but very very few folks I know have even...

as long as this means we will SOON see reasonable priced GPU for the "average" consumer able to "fill" the shelves instead of the recent massive either glut or crazy higher than MSRP/MSEP on graphics cards, this will be a good thing, hard to offer financial support when a product that should...

ONLY Athlon based supposedly were affected by Spectre, do a wee bit of reading first DA_MAZ ^.^ On another note, 400 series will be less expensive, sure, that is AMD intention, does not mean their customers (Asus, MSI etc) pass the savings on, and sure as hell does not mean the resellers...

as to the in what way was the 3gb card worse besides lower amount of ram and lower clocks....that is the way they were worse IMO..at least Nv kind of did a right thing, the 3gb 1060 cards were KNOWN to be less ram, lower clocks etc.....AMD smarten up, it really would not have killed you to I...

very unlikely to be "new" models, just a refresh of what we currently have that is instead of 14nm will be 12nm so maybe a few hundred Mhz more, or a slight reduction in power use idle/load/average, maybe default higher clock speeds and improved CoolNQuiet for those who overclock but want to...
