However if a Nvidia car was 10% faster but that price Nvidia guys would have no probs buying them lol. AMD guys would because they are usually made up of more getting more performance for less price. So if AMD do price high it puts these guys off... Durr.

Edit - im sure I read some where Hbm was cheaper to produce in the long run?

I wouldn't mind an NVidia car

But I feel the flip side works for AMD users as well. HBM is new and there will be a lot of wastage (part of the reason I feel it is taking too long to get released) but once they have it mastered, it will be cheaper but like anything new, it is never cheap at the start.

Nvidia now make cars. No end to their talents.

What happens if the 390 is faster for less?

Then I'd tell AMD to charge a little more and put more resources into their driver dept

Cheaper than a Titan X with more performance and they will sell and they'll do well.

Still not the card that's going to save the brand, although it may go some way to helping as long as the rest of the series is good, I think the normal 390 might come close to the 980ti.

Haha id buy a Nvidia car at tht price lol. Stupid phone auto correct. Yea thats true you do pay the early adopters fee of new cards +tech

I think the R9-390X or Fury (whatever the hi-end GPU is called) should be 300 quid with a yearly fee of lets say 200 quid (2 years locked) so they provide the membership money for the driver department.

I personally would go Crossfire (probably more than x2) aslong as I have the ease of mind.

Strange pricing structure but it would be great.

So then, if these are 10% faster than a TX and costs £800, who is getting one?

Not me. £800 and 12 month later it will be worth £200 on members market, if your lucky.

£400 and I will bite

£500 and I will but I don't want an AIO cooler and will wait for an air cooler (PITA swapping cards in and out).

shankly1985 · 1 Jun 2015 at 21:38

It must be less than £600 for me to even consider it.

sprite1275 · 1 Jun 2015 at 21:43

I'll consider these cards in a year or 2 time.

They don't seem to be on par with Nvidia on multi-GPU driver support (which seems to be the problem mostly ) whatever it takes TBH.

With the TX and GTX980Ti temps, the whole "hotter than the sun" theory might need to be taken out of the equation

I have heard this a few times, but I've never tried Crossfire myself, i think multi GPU needs work on both sides tbh.. Nvidia are supposed to be better with that but they both aren't perfect.

Pretty sure it's meant to go over to cover the HBM chips too?

- if AMD did have something really good, why don't they leak or announce something to steal the 980ti's thunder? Surely if they had something really good, they would have said/given some info?!

Agreed, you would think they would, as they'll know the 980 Ti's, and reduced in price 980s are going to be absolutely flying off the shelves, and i can't see anyone whos buying those cards now, suddenly getting shot in around 3 weeks for a Fiji, thats a bloody boat load of sales gone for AMD.

Don't get why everyones saying, oooh, they've released it now, must be worried about Fiji, as thats an absolute load of **** imo.

Agree, although imagine if we stay until launch day with no concrete leaks and just the rumours we have at the moment. The BAM mass shock factor of simultaneous reviews may rile enough people up.

JeffyB · 1 Jun 2015 at 22:15

This is the exact reason I don't think amd have a tx/ti beater, guess only time will tell. If they do have a serious contender they have played it very poorly.

LoadsaMoney · 1 Jun 2015 at 22:18

Sounds like everyone thinks, one card from AMD, and its game over for Nvidia, lol, what a load of crap.
