Company is ‘putting finishing touches’Ever since the furor over GTX 970’s specs first erupted last month, AMD has been having plenty of fun rubbing salt into Nvidia’s self-inflicted wounds, reminding GTX 970 owners how Nvidia lied to them and asking those interested in getting a “real video card at a decent price” to go for one of its products instead. Seemingly convinced by the sales pitch, a former GTX 970 owner from Down Under recently took to AMD’s Facebook page to know about the odds of either the R9 390x or R9 380x making it to the market in time for GTA V’s PC release.
Here’s what AMD had to say: “Hey mate, we don't have an official date to share just yet but the second we know, we will definitely announce it on Facebook. We're still putting the finishing touches on the 300 series to make sure they live up to expectation. Can't wait to reveal them though. We're pretty excited."
During the chipmaker’s latest earnings call, CEO Lisa Su promised to launch some "very good" graphics cards during the second quarter of 2015. It also expects to begin shipping its new “Carrizo” accelerated processing units (APUs) during the same period.
