When Nvidia released their Maxwell architecture, AMD responded by rather aggressively slashing the prices of their 200 series of Radeon graphics cards. It’s an effective strategy, and combined with a few of Nvidia’s own PR blunders (namely, the GeForce GTX 970) AMD are gaining traction from gamers. For this review we’re going to be.

AMD’s long awaited Mantle technology has been released with the Catalyst 14.1 BETA, and we can try it out with a new client update for BF4. While we’re certainly seeing improvements in Battlefield 4 there has been some confusion as to what the Mantle API actually does and does not do.  It was widely.

2014 is already shaping up to be an incredibly exciting year for PC games. With the release of the next generation consoles, PC’s can finally start stretching its legs out and move on with better game engines, requiring more graphics grunt. Then, we have several new emerging technologies, including Nvidia’s G-Sync, AMD’s Mantle and.

The Playstation 4’s audio chip has remained somewhat of a mystery until recently, when during AMD APU2013 conference AMD revealed the PS4’s audio chip is based on their TrueAudio API and chip technology technology. Let’s explore exactly what AMD’s true audio technology is, and how it will benefit not only the PS4 but possibly.

The Playstation 4 and the Radeon R9 280X(known as AMD Volcanic Islands) may share quite a few similarities with each other, in particular in the way their Asynchronous Compute Engines (ACE) function. Both the Playstation 4 and AMD’s soon to be released Volcanic Island GPU feature 8 ACE, rather than the 2 featured in the.

AMD have had a busy few days, they have just announced their new range of GPU’s, including the R9 290x (which is a 5TFLOP monster), and have also let the world know about Mantle. AMD’s Mantle API is a newly developed, open API which in theory proves drastically improved performance over the more traditional.

AMD have been very busy recently, not only have they just unveiled their new Mantle API, but they have been of course instrumental in helping both Sony and Microsoft with their next generation consoles. But they haven’t been sitting idly by and letting Nvidia dominant the discrete PC GPU market. AMD have began announcing.
