I doubt it's gonna be in stores before the end of the month. I'm sure we will get reviews though. For the mental health of this thread sake.

The Sapphire 390X Tri X actually looks like a nice card, yeah it's a rebrand but it comes with a decent cooler, more display ports. 8GB frame buffer for $389 / £250. Once the initial price hike dies down, that's a pretty good value card to be fair.

390 Nitro looks decent as well.

I think once the full product stack is revealed and more people realize that these are the new mid - high range then re branding won't be an issue. This happened with 680 > 770 and 7970 > 280X. Only difference here is the naming scheme which has made it confusing for some.

i do not get why ppl are complaining, AMD just added double memory to their card and gave it a brand.
200 will still sell,ppl who feel they need more ram will get a 300 series, for that he will pay the extra 100 bucks or so.
then ppl who are after high end will get the Fury to play with.
and personaly i do see why they choosed this strategy, makes sense, if i dont have extra money to spend on R&D on a new architecture without real benefits, i would rather just make 1 architecture to push perf and maybe some features on 28nm as high end, and then wait 6-8 months for 16nm finfet, to introduce complete line up.
it's much more cost effective, but for this to work Fury need to be at least equal to TitanX, the 200 series need to be cheap, and the 300 series an OK premium price.

Considering they're marketing them as a whole new 3xx generation they should have at least upgraded the whole range to the latest GCN architecture.

I personally couldn't buy a 390X knowing that it had an older architecture and only half the Tessellation performance as their mid range Tonga card and NVidia's low end cards, it's only somewhat forgivable on 290X because it came out before GCN1.2 and that was the best AMD could do back then.
