guys all know that AMD is having an event in Hawaii that happened earlier today announcing five of their latest new GPUs giving the market and they range all the way from $89 all the way up into well that will get into a minute we just don't know it's kind of funny though they started off trying to this live event and doing it through YouTube but there seemed to be some technical difficulties are there to stop the show and then rebrand show to us later on in the day but now we have all the pertinent for mation for this launch now not only did AMD talk about their new cards and their new releases they also talked about a lot of the new technology surrounding these cards now they talked a really lot about audio to help for 25 years they've done all this stuff to research with your head and how positional audio and how your brain reacts to audio and these guys are claiming that on a few of their new cards they're going to have this thing called true audio and this is going to allow them to do programming to make positional audio so you can like hear people coming up behind you try to hear things coming up in front of you which should be very very industry now traditionally video card companies don't push audio they push their GPU but now these guys are going to have a complete separate dsb on some cards that allow this new audio now another big thing is direct3d 11.2 brought to you by their new GC and technology this is something that we're also going to see in the future and some of their lower end cards don't have this at all and it's kind of actually kind of strange because AMD has certain technologies on certain cards not usually when you buy a series of a card you get just a flat thing of certain things across the board that's not going to be true with this new release some cards will have the audio on it some cards won't some cards support the new 11.2 some cards won't or at least it's questionable right now because AMD kind of left a lot of things very ambiguous first of all the GPU that's going to be used in new r9 290x nobody knows exactly what it's codenamed at this time nobody knows the pricing and nobody knows the exact details of what's going on with this car but what we do know there are five new cards hitting the market starting off all the way at an $89 card which is called the r7 250 which also has one gigabyte of memory on board and scored over 2,000 on 3dmark fire strikes so this is their entry-level coordinates looking pretty good next up is the r7 260x so this is like the top of the line of the entry-level cards and this card features two gigabytes of memory is coming to market about a hundred and thirty nine dollars and it got a fire strike score of over 3700 not bad at all so now let's move in to the r9 or what they consider to be their enthusiastic ards like I said before the r7 that's geared for the entry-level moderate gamers the r9 is geared for the enthusiast and the hardcore gamer and they start off with theirs which is the new r9 270x now this card features two gigabytes of memory is going to be coming to market about a hundred and ninety nine dollars and it's scored over 5500 and 3dmark fire strike so not bad for the entry level for the enthusiast next up is the r9 280x now this card is going to be coming to market at about two hundred ninety nine dollars features three gigabytes of memory and this car scored over 6,800 on 3dmark fire strike so we're getting faster as we get the cards now last up on the list AMD claims this is their fastest GPU to date and that is the new r9 290x now we know it's going to have four gigabytes of gddr5 memory we know that it's going to have a 512-bit memory interface we don't know exactly a lot of the other specs the pricing still doesn't come out the name of the GPU hasn't come out but we know that it's supposed to be the fastest of the fast from the people at AMD and we're really looking forward to getting our hands in these cards and actually as of say when the video was being filmed I got tected by a few companies who are already getting us in line to get review samples so you know for a fact we're going to have those cards for you guys here we're hearing some time the beginning of October we're going to see these cards so hopefully hold your hats on Harper that will see those things very very soon now I've written a full article and all this technology which you guys can see the description down the like button which I know you guys are going to chuck norris and beyond that hey it's been great bringing the guys information I can't wait to get the cards in here in a house to bring you guys actual testing and see what the real deal is but with that said I'm elric thanks for watching tech itamar if you're not sub hey hit that sub
