AMD Fiji XT Pictured Some More

[Solaris17]

Worse comparison made of all time.

Why exactly? Im curious because at the moment only flag ship cards costing several hundred dollars a piece in multi GPU configurations can sustain the FPS necessary to play most popular games at high detail levels. This makes it impractical for the norm not to mention it simply hasn't been pushed hard enough to be much more than a novelty item for the market. Likewise while current GPUS including flag ships have DP outputs most of these connections coincide with the high resolution high Hz monitors they would "look best on". However Monitors in even high price segments are still made with even VGA which as outdated as it is is still used in the majority of affordable monitors and TVs. DVI didn't even manage to take its crown.

I would like your input on why exactly 4k gaming and DP only GPUs are not only somehow superior for all intensive purposes in today's saturated 1080p market but also why you might think the market is full enough of these products to warrent such a change from DVI?

I will ask @EarthDog as well. Reviewing aside of course. I did that as well and consumerism and elitism are very different things.

I still use DVI on my monitors they are 22" IPS displays. Both of which are still over $100 a piece. I don't use VGA anymore but I also see DP as the 4k of gaming. rather gimmicky. I see both sides of the fence but I would have to say DVI stands somewhere in between and should at least still be included. even if its with 1 header.

The signal from an HDMI plug is identical to a DVI-D single link signal, it will come with a HDMI to DVI_D converter in the box. A Display Port can also run in legacy mode, outputting a single link DIV-D or HDMI picture.

DP ha a better plug than DVI, VGA or HDMI, the packet based signaling allows for greater flexibility in the display output (see freesync/G-sync) and also allows for multi-stream transport and it being used in USB-C connectors.

In short; Display Port is life , Display Port is Love.

4K is not a gimmick. There is nothing 'gimmicky' about the resolution or what it offers over 1080p.

DP is also not a gimmick. It works, its not pulling the wool over anyone's eyes. It has a smaller plug footprint (MEH) and see the post above.

Now, you are talking about how much it costs to run these high res monitors and such and trying to parlay that into support for your point of those technologies being gimmicks, but, it doesn't work that way. Is there a NEED for it at lower resolutions, no, there isn't. But to say it is a gimmick, like there isn't a need or some positives for using it, I feel you chose the wrong descriptor (or perhaps I am taking it too literally).

its metallic, so basicly reflections, the DICE picture is from a light swedish office building, the newest one in this article seem to be from inside a dark place

Why the shell color is black ?
Other photos are grey color...

You do know there is such things as HDMI to DVI or DisplayPort to DVI adapters right? Good bet that the card will come with one of those...

yeah, why do people want DVI, its ANCIENT, even HD 5870 included DP to DVI/HDMI adapters

DisplayPort supports 8k@30fps, FreeSync, Daisy chaining , MST Hubs, DVI/HDMI Active Adapters and has smaller cables and everything

DisplayPort is the computer standard, HDMI is the entertainment standard

i surly hope the DP on the new fuji card is DP 1.3, that would be sweet

Well, because my monitor, which I totally am satisfied with is a DVI connection. Not all people have the money to go buy a new high-quality monitor just because arbitrary industry monitor connections change.

You can connect a HDMI to DVI adapter to the GPU's HDMI port, it will probably come with one just like previous cards came with DVI-VGA adapters after VGA became very dated.

A DVI port/cable is essentially (but not literally) a VGA and HDMI port/cable in one, once AMD dropped the VGA support with the 290X it was basically just a massive HDMI port so was wasting space, people may be sad to see it go but it first appeared on cards in the 20th century, this is 2015, let it go.

yeah, i remember my 3870,4870 had a pair of HDMI>DVI adapters... and 5870 had DP>DVI or HDMI
