    I'm not throwing a tantrum, just saying it feels silly to let it occupy 3 slots and then only factory clock it to 1010Mhz.

    Well, IIRC the last gen DCII models weren't OC'd much over ref clock either

    Pitcairn seems likely. It might not be disabled, could be underclocked like the 6990m is a 6870, just clocked 20% lower.

    Apparently not as it seems that MSI is also shipping a product at 1.01 GHz and it's not even their Lightning edition. (and it looks like there's at least 10 in stock for anyone interested)

    Very nice - I like that demo not only for the underlying tech but also for the great looks and the funny story.

  12. While I'm really glad that AMD is doing these cool demos again, I'm also really sad that neither my HD5870 or my HD6950 can play this demo, and the demos that came out at their time were.. well, non-inspiring.

    And I do miss Ruby :(

    That should really say "runs best on 7900".

    Meaning it will run on older DX11 hardware, just without PRT?
     
  15. It seems I spoke to soon. I thought it required PRT.
    Thanks :D

    Video or .exe? If .exe that's really strange, considering my download finished literally couple seconds ago.

    Both the demo and the video are now up for a grab, although with a miserable download speed.
