says so on the item I ordered
For a Sapphire rx470?
Oh shit it does.
Oh well, it's been out of stock this whole time.
Well here it was in stock the MSI one was like arrives new stock 6 August
So the most logical choice was Sapphire am I right?
You got a 4 or 8 GB?
Don't see the point in saving some money on the 4 GB model
gotta have those nicer textures
Didn't see the point on paying an extra 50$ on the 8gb.
Yeah the 4 GB should be good enough if you are happy with normal textures
But if you want higher ones you need more memory
I plan on this just being a placeholder card anyways, the 7950 is going into a build for my nephew.
So you waiting for HBM2 cards?
Kinda yeah.
AMD might be able to actually compete with Intel soon
As Intel can't really upgrade much more with current CPUs
but AMD can
I also needed one to play with for research on future builds a friend and I are planning.
Did you see that video from the closed viewing amd had?
Zen 8 core engineering sample was a hair faster than 6900k in a blender image rendering clock for clock @3ghz.
Kind of an obscure benchmark though.
I will take all this with grain of salt
I do hope AMD manages to pull something decent
but...
I don't want to get over my head
Near haswell speed with skylake features would be amazing. Anything better than that would just be jizz in pants stupid.
MUH CORES tho
8 cores and hyperthreading like tech
>implying you don't want more than 4c/8t
shows as 16 cpus
fuck this 4 core bullshit
we need more cores
8 should be minimum in high end desktops ;^)
I have an 8 core ivyb xeon in my system right now.
I bought 8-core too
Jewtel party
Got e5-1650 V2 in a box waiting to be tested because Muh overclock. And the 1680 is too rich for my blood.
>8-core intel jewtel party
