Possible Radeon 390X / 390 and 380X Spec / Benchmark (do not hotlink images!!!!!!)

The card has not been officially announced. Thus far it has been rumours and unofficial information.

You're doing the exact same thing when replying to my posts?

If you don't like my posts put me on ignore instead of coming into a thread and derailing it further by telling everyone else you don't.

Sigh.

I said I do not like some of your conclusions or your posting style at times. If I did not like anything you had to say I would have ignored you ages ago.

The thread title is about the spec and benchmarks of the 390X, 390 and 380X. How does your posts contribute to the thread exactly when you choose to argue with Woodsta888? I can see why he may think it has been announced, but he is wrong on this occasion. All you have to do is gently point that out to him.

This is my point of view of it anyway.
 
I have not seen this posted yet. Looking good for 8gb if any of this is true.

Some pretty interesting information has surfaced over at Bitsandchips.it, one of the more reliable sources out there. This is one of the first independent confirmation we have about AMD’s flagship GPU shipping with 8GB worth of HBM memory. The report states that the GPU will utilize a dual link interposer to stack 2x 4-HI HBM components for a net total of 8GB HBM.

Citing internal sources the publication claims that AMD will be presenting the Radeon R9 390X at Computex in Taipei and that th flagship will be a single GPU card (Fiji XT). It will also have 8GB of memory as rumors and reports have previously indicated. AMD will be employing a technology by SK Hynic called a “Dual Link Interposer” which will allow memory capacities upwards of 4GB without the use of 2nd Generation HBM. When 2nd Generation HBM memory arrives from SK Hynix, the report states AMD will be able to shift seamlessly to the new standard.

The problem arises from the fact that the 1st Generation HBM memory is limited by design to just 4GB worth of capacity. While 2nd Generation memory can support up to 8GB of capacity, its production time line is too far for AMD to be able to use it in its Radeon 300 series designs. And AMD is well aware of the fact that 4GB of memory is no longer enough for a flagship product, therefore the only solution is dual link interposing. With a Dual Link Interposing design, SK Hynix will be able to stack 4x (Dual 1GB HBM modules) via an Interposer (2.5D stacking). The design will have very high performance at low clock speeds and will also be very power efficient as compared to GDDR5.

2x 4-HI HBM1 (which should technically be called 8-Hi-Hi according to nomenclature rules) features a 1024-bit interface, two prefetch operations per IO (dual command) and can push 128GB per second per pin. The tRC is 48nm, tCCD is 2ns (1tCK), and VDD is 1.2V. The 4-Hi HBM2 (generation 2) features a 1024 bit interface, two prefetch operations per IO (dual command), 64 Byte access granularity (=I/O x prefetch) and can push 256 GB per second per pin. The tRC is 48nm, tCCD is 2ns (1tCK), and VDD is 1.2V. If you remember we already received a rumor of Fiji XT shipping with 8GB of HBM memory, however since HBM1 can only support upto 4GB – the general assumption was it would be HBM2. This report clears up that misconception.

My posts contribute towards the thread because it's stopping people from spreading misinformation that AMD have announced the 390x.

Quite simple isn't it? Now where was your contribution towards the topic?

OK so the final release specs on the 390X haven't been released yet or any definitive specs.

The original post I referred to the OP said that 'they' havent announced any product. OK so I added in AMD & 390X my bad. What I should have put was that AMD have officially announced that this year there will be a new family of cards or a new product.

There was nothing gentle in the the way you write for sure. Even in this thread I see many posts have been deleted. You are argumentativeand it isnt your job to stop people posting what they want in a public forum. I see even in this thread you've had posts deleted.

You'd do well to remember your place.

I'm not trying to stop people from posting at all.

Why didn't you just admit that right away then that you didn't mean they'd announced the 390x instead of arguing the definition of announced and continuing a ridiculous argument.

Many people have had posts deleted, doesn't mean they have to stop pointing out misinformation.

It's obviously been announced in some shape or form or we wouldn't be here and this thread would not exist. We also wouldn't know anything about AMD using HBM memory.

I've never seen any GPU launch completely made up of erroneous facts before and I doubt now will be any different. There has to be some truth in among the BS.

Something must be coming soon, why else would 290x stocks be starting to run low? I've also just found a 290x Vapor-X for £250! Brand new!

Doesn't mean anything is incoming, AMD likely stopped production so not left with a load of unwanted inventory because they expected they would have a new card, or sales were higher than expected. Non of that is a guarantee though.


Hopefully it does mean something is incoming.
 
They will want to sell as much remaining stock as possible to maximise profits before they have to sell it of really really cheap when the 390x eventually comes out. So we've still got a month until computex...

Let's just hope I can either get another lightning before they all run out or the 390x is worth it and is a reasonable price.
 
I am a big fan of the Lightnings and would seriously consider getting a 390X LTG for some benching. The 2 680s I had would breeze 1450Mhz and fantastic build quality.
 
I love mine :D it's an absolute beast and it doesn't sag at all, very impressed. Wouldn't hesitate about buying another lightning card.

It's very tempting to get another and leave the 390x for a year or so... Then see how 4K comes along/new cards and go down that route.

not sure if already posted by here's some news...
