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

[Geeman1979]

4 Gigs the new 8 Gig.

 

[Gregster]

You could have a long wait for those

Then there will be excuses for the rebrands

Spoiler

but but but but

lol

 

[Geeman1979]

4 Gig starting to cut it fine at 1080p to the few neurotic. Now 4 Gig's suddenly enough for 4K

Go figure.

 

[Kaapstad]

3.5GB isn't enough for 1080P either but 4GB on an AMD card is great for 4K. I am slow at math but maybe I am missing something?

Also, I have been jumped on big time for saying they will be rebrands except for Fiji by Humbug and Orangey, so I await an apology.

Apparently AMD have a new driver for the 4gb Fiji cards

We have had the Omega drivers now they are bringing out the Tardis drivers as 4gb of HBM is bigger on the inside.

Watch out for Dalek Gregster !!!

Exterminate, all Fiji cards must be destroyed, all hail the TitanX !!!

I'd guess to flash you would need a 8gb 290x to begin with.

Both sides rebrand i dont see it as a end to AMD, its still a very good card, but AMD will need fury to preform and some of the lower cards

The point is there is no real upgrade path for existing 290 owners, if the 390 is just a rebadged 290 with more ram lobbed on top, i wont be paying anything for it, so your only other option for AMD is the Fury Cards, and if they offer within 10% performance of the 980ti but are considerably more expensive why would you buy one and not a 980ti?

the FuryX not only needs to outperform the 980ti it needs to be priced extremely competitively or it will just make peoples minds up to go to Nvidia, much like i may end up doing depending on reviews / pricing.

And also factor in there are a few of us waiting to upgrade monitors, which means locking yourself into AMD or Nvidia pretty much now.

 

[Gregster]

AMD can do better memory compression via the drivers for DX11, so it might not be a problem however, someone pointed out earlier that AMD are bringing out an 8GB HBM card (which they are), so you guys do the math.

I shan't write it off but it doesn't look good. For 1080P gamers though who have no interest in going higher resolution will be fine

 

[Geeman1979]

HBM's like Jack's magic beans.

 

[kefan77]

that pricing...

I was without proper GPU (using GT610 now) for 4 months when I sold both GTX670s and now, all we get now is more rebadges?

(bought 2 970s in meantime, but both had terrible coilwhine, so went back after a day)

might as well buy 290X on offer for 200 or 290 for 170 and wait it out for another year.

So no Fury X and Fury launch date and prices yet. It will be launch later on 24 June.

Well those prices are clearly wrong. Maybe they confused the dollar and euro keys.

Rebrands, heck both vendors do that. NVIDIA replaced th gtx 670 with the 760/770. Both about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. Its only now with fury and tx/980ti were getting some new cards. Albeit on the still okd 28nm fab process. Both vendors have milked that old cow dry.

I think what people keep forgetting is that the 970 and 980 will have been out 9 months! I cant believe AMD are going to release essentially the same 1 year 9 month old card (290x) for what looks like £400. Although those prices listed seem odd.

I'm pretty sure NVidia have never rebranded virtually their entire product line though, it's one thing plugging one or two holes in a lineup with rebrands and quite another trying to pass off a whole series of older GPU's as a new generation.

 

[TonyTurbo78]

100 quid to high on top end card. Very few will buy a rebrand for 400 jibs.

 

[Gregster]

I can't see that price being correct.

 

[Geeman1979]

If indeed the new Re-brand line up is priced high, they will soon drop when they realise they can't shift them.

 

[Bonjour]

Even if some joker switched the $ and € keys on the guy's keyboard, taking the G1 390X as an example, $499.90 is roughly €440. Or ~£320.

 

[dasimpse]

This all seems rather disappointing. I hope the fury is very good and priced right

 

[whyscotty]

$499=(£320+20%+incidentals) = £400 min

 

[Bonjour]

My point, really, was that the prices suggested are completely out of whack and hence not trustworthy.

 

[Geeman1979]

Let's just wait and see hey! not long now.

 

[Buckster]

Well if my Tri-x can be flashed to a 390 and gain some performance there's zero need for me to upgrade til a die shrink, especially not at those ridiculous prices quoted above. If those are anywhere near the actual retail price then the FuryX I feel will be overpriced for its performance.

Just hope this doesn't end AMD as I can see a lot of people massively disappointed with this rubbish

managed to get my Tri-X to 1160/1460 last night
