Those are two different GPU's!

290X and 290!

They had different release dates!

The 290X RELEASED on the 24th October 2013, hence the date.
And the 290 RELEASED on 5th November 2013, hence the date.

Go look at an R9 280X GPUZ, it'll tell you it released in 2011 (Because of the 7970, which did "release" (paper launch) on that date!, which is exactly the same thing happening to those 3XX GPU'z!)


WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME!??!?!?!

Give him time, he'll get to anger soon enough. Then bargaining, depression, and finally acceptance :p You just have to be here for him, Martini :p

The 290 was released on September 25'th (My 290 has a November 5'th BIOS)
The 290X was released on October 24'th
 
The 290 did not release on September 25th! Where on Earth has that date come from?

Why are you making up complete lies?!

I don't even.

Do you not remember how the AMD cards launched? Is your memory that poor? We had the whole "pre-order" thing with the 290X, it was unique, not specs, no reviews, just a pre-order, no price.
The 290 didn't come till after! It even got delayed for a new fan profile!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME.

The 290 did NOT release on September 25th, stop embarrassing yourself.

Just accept it, you are wrong. That's the long and short of it.
Those GPUZ's could be absolutely 100% legitimate (Again, you continue to ignore the whole unsupported GPU anyway, but continue to say things which are wrong). I'm not even saying that they are.

lol the rebrand hype is real!!
when have either company done a whole new lineup?
would that be never?

im sure the review sites wont hold no punches so... 8)~
 
I'm pretty sure (as in 99.9%) that all the data that's not included in the card's bios is just pulled from the gpu-z database. AMD/AIBs don't put card release dates, transistor counts, manufacturing nodes, die sizes etc. into the bios. Those are manually added into the databse by techpowerup staff after launch when they've been confirmed.

The GPU gets detected by the device ID and then clocks etc. info is gathered because that's something that gpu-z does have access to.

Since the database hasn't properly been updated for the 300 series the gpu-z application is still pulling the 200 series information even though the bios/drivers of the card gets read as 300 series.

So until gpu-z and the databases get properly updated GPU-Z will always show the R9 290 release date that they have logged in their database:

Released: Nov 5th, 2013

But again, it makes very little difference. The GPUID is for hawaii and the clocks etc. are quite clear.

Rebrands happen but usually the top tier card from the previous set gets pushed down (ie 680 became the x70 card for the 700 series).

It looks like AMD are just making the 290 and 290x the 390 and 390x which is a bit much. Reminds me of nvidia's 9800gt. Even then though i dont think the 8800gt had been out 1 year and 9 months!!

There's no chance that pricing will be correct as it stands with those cards.

I am not too sure as the 390X 8GB custom boards seem price pitched between the 970 and the 980. The Gigabyte G1 is cheaper than the cheapest 980.

If the 390X chip is a re-spun Hawaii with some improved circuitry it puts it about level with the 980 and will beat it in some Ultra benches due to the VRAM.

That leaves the Fury X to trade blows with the 980ti and TX which it looks like it does.

Without drawing too many conclusions it looks like performance and price parity
is maintained with Nvidia without changing the status quo too much while AMD waits for 16nm.

For Nvidia to blow AMD out of the water, they need to drop the 980ti down to 390X levels.

But they're losing marketshare now.
It's shortsighted if people think that a very slightly and higher priced 290X will do jack.

They said nothing about the 970s and 980s which turned out to be very average at higher resolutions even though the review sites did not share this.

Review sites are totally useless at reviewing stuff and sadly it is often best to wait for end users to share their experiences.:)
