AMD GPU14 Tech Day Event - Sept 25'th

[fellix]

Dunno how this sound technology will evolve, im a bit in pain to understand exactly what the direction it take right now.

The audio in the stream is probably mono.

Here's a proper stereo sample run: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKnhcsRTNME

It could be NDA'd as this seems like it's AMD's big secret but as you said i doubt it. It'd make shape not nearly as big of a deal as it was though if it did.

So the 260X is based on a new GPU, probably Curaçao.

Incidentally, the "Fire Strike" score they quote for the 260X is about bang on the same speed as the HD 7790.

Seems very weird to refresh that low/mid-end card again wile leaving all the other ones untouched...

I'm guessing this is a rebrand/respin as well and that the capabilities for whatever that audio stuff is was always there.

Not sure how it relates to xb1, though if xb1 acts the same it would be interesting if they use your living room to run calculation for reverb, etc.

Hey it is Amd Graphics or Creative conference?

Can't "spot" anything special on the 2 channel audio demos. And I own two studio monitors which I found to be most excellent at rendering the spacial information of sounds. Or maybe that's just it and the stuff gets noticed more easily with lower grade speakers.

Yeah, fellix maybe right. It's kinda sad then.

Based on history, Creative will soon aquire AMD for making better audio products, just like they did with Aureal

The stream is apparently mono despite what the presenter thought

You are listnening it from a internet browser.. not from a direct processing.

I dont know how act the Active speaker you own for it right now. On my 2:1 Corsair, i can say, this work really good. I have 2 Yamaha active for my music studio, i will try them later ( when my headache is gone )

OMG what annoying is this???

 

[liolio]

Actually I find this really interesting.
As a side note, MSFT should have hired the guy to present the xb1 capability.

 

[Kaotik]

Just a random thought - is it possible that rather than just another Tahiti, 280X would be CI-updated variant of it (Which was rumoured for long to be released)?

 

[flopper]

3d audio make a game better than any visual are able to do.
glad amd is adresssing this finnaly.

 

[Alexko]

OK, the reverb thing is kind of cool. Walking into a church in a game and seamlessly getting the right kind of reverb would be a nice improvement to immersion.

AMD == Audio Micro Devices

couldn't resist , sorry ..

 

[Grall]

For R9 chip being such a groundbreaking graphics milestone - as AMD claims anyway - they're spending an awful awful lot of time on sound. Super weird.

 

[manux]

Really crappy presenters. They lack any enthusiasm or presentation skills. Feeling going asleep here.

 

[Love_In_Rio]

So no new architecture...mehhhh.

cut

i respect all opinions but...please.....

 

[Psycho]

I'm a little puzzled that r9-270x seems to be a rebrand (pitcain), since it's without the audio. Is curacao really that slow (and close to bonaire)..
