^^yep but i was really curious :D cause in future games wont the 2gb will slightly hinder the performance?

there are 4gb cards available for mere rs 5000. do you think it can play all the games in full glory? it is the graphic processor which is more important.

Well, the 4 GB 270X is actually great for Crossfire as both the GPUs have a large frame buffer to work with. When using Crossfire (or SLI) with 2 GB cards, the total recognized memory is 2GB only, so the 2 fast GPUs are bottlenecked. The 4 GB version solves this issue.

before these cards even get to use the extra vram, they will run out of raw processing power. For 1080p gaming 2GB vram is more than enough, i have a GPU with 4GB GDDR5, no game has ever crossed 1.8GB Dedicated VRAM usage in-game without heavy graphic mods.

If priced right [ and we still have time for that ] R7 260 is going to be great but then again Nvdia is readying their 750 / 750 Ti.

What The.... !!!
Hmm it seems the 750/750ti are replacements for the 650ti/650ti boost and don't even require any power connector?!
if they're priced right (which I doubt given its green camp) they'd trade blows with r7 260x and r9 270

u mean R7-260X right? R7-265 is faster yes, but R9-260 and R9-255 is not released yet. not to mention there would be R8 series too, and in that case whats the problem with a R6 or R5 may be so we will have cards like

not only R5-260X and R8-270X but also R7-285 and R6-285X and R5-265X, and R6-260 or lets say R8-270 ? how about R6-275X?

Yes R7 series. I just checked the article on Toms an hour ago.

Reminded me of early Nokia days when they used to launch a new phone every fortnight just so that they can add 1 new feature.

they may start a combination coupling standard virtually flexible to buyers when they will come to buy an AMD store or online, when they finally make all cards.

lets say one stub will have R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 prefixes a second lineup will have

250,250X,255

260,260X,265

270,270X,275

280,280X,285 and 290,290X,295

Now buyer has the option to plug and try every combination of the prefix and lineup to virtually simulate an end-product and also test its graphics potential and the derived MSRP, ultimate freedom of choice.

With 15 cards that actually compromises of 4-5 different cards(rest are defective chips etc, minor performance gap), won't this be extremely confusing to the customer? I remember the confusion GTX560 amd GTX560ti alone caused, this will be ridiculous.

i was kidding anyway :D, its much confusing already, after R7-265, forums are confused about the last card they bought as it belonged to which series
