IF 1 x 390X can outdo a 295X2 then my wallet is theirs, If not then I'll be skipping and waiting for the 4xx series.

I'd love to see it but we've not seen a single generation performance improvement of 100% over previous gen for a long long time and to do it without a process shrink as well would be near miraculous.
 
I always giggle at new graphics card launches and the hype sourrounding them. We're in 2015 with cameras on phones averagin 8MP yet some of these 'leaked' pictures look like they've been taked by an old Polarioid camera and then scanned haha.

I'm assuming the results are fake but I secretly hope they're not.
 
not with them specs lol
tho i dont think many believe them specs to be true
well maybe boomstick does!
it would be cool!

How much are we likely talking for the r9 380?

Looking at current prices of the 280 its around £200?

Hard to say that specifically, too far out and unknowns, with new arch and tech. At least Maxwell has cards out to lend some perspective for speculation. Will depend what the market looks like in march and on its perf relative to existing products, theirs and Nvidia's.
 
^^ i'm guessing its going to come in north of £300 if the rumored specs are true,maybe the 380 is the replacement for the 290/x.

Wonder if the card could be o/c to reach 295x levels of performance....one can dream lol

£300-300w vs £500-500w

At a guess I would put it at around R9 38X £285 at launch. R9 390X around £465.

All we can do is guess though lol. Speculation is all part of the fun leading up to a new GPU launch, especially dodgy card pics and seriously questionable leaks lol.

Is this ready to launch yet? I feel I have waited long enough already..
 
I don't think there will be a 390x as such, not for a good while anyway. The way things seem to be going is that AMD will go with the 380 as top end, just like Nvidia did with the 680 and now 980, even though it isn't really designed from the ground up to be top end, but limited to what is achievable due to still being stuck on 28nm. The Tonga architecture die (285) isn't any smaller than the Tahiti die (280) that it replaced. The HawaiI die at 438mm is fairly large already, if the Tonga improvements didn't bring about much of a change in die size than I don't see where AMD can go with it. Would AMD do a 600mm+ die like Nvidia are supposedly doing with GM200, I doubt it.

From the rumors..

R9 38X card this summer, destroy the 980 and be on the edge of what 28nm is capable of.

390X will come in Q4 2015 / Q1 2016 with a die shrink.

We don't know what the exact naming will be, but I imagine 28nm will see one more top end card this year from Q2. There's another tier above but it's just not possible on 28nm. That will come in Q4 or Q1 next year.

I would love it if AMD surprised us all and launch a die shrunk card in the summer managed to merk Nvidia :p

Anyway better not mention die shrinks Orangey gets angry :D
 
Hehe, I do agree it would be lovely to either team pull one out of the bag and blow us all away with a super smashing lovely die shrunk wonder card, but alas we all know that just isn't going to happen anytime soon. :(
 
So 2016 is really going to be interesting with both finfet next gen architectures coming from amd and nvidia.

I expect AMD to have an advantage for 2h '15 but nvidia to bounce back in '16 with finfet pascal
