Yeah but it's cool when Nvidia do it, re-branding is fine yo. Apparently the semantics over the naming is making people lose their minds. It's just to complicated for some people.

Fury X (Flagship)
Fury Pro (Second card down)
390X (Mid - High end)


Posting that above to help people, as a lot here seem to be worried about that people buying a $389 / £250 card from best buy or PC world accidentally thinking it's the AMD: 980 Ti / Titan X equivalent.

He's right though. This 390x is more power hungry. It's going to be a hotter card spared the improved cooling. At least the 8800GT was faster and priced underneath the GTX at the same time of its reign. Making it seem like a damn good card. It was also a single slot cooler.

Compared to this kettle of fish..more than a year later, a ton of cards under the competitions belt and it's exactly the same card! LOL.

All rebrands are uninteresting, some are just a lot more senseless than others

The 8800GT and 8800GTS 512MB cards were rebranded against better AMD cards like the HD4830,HD4850,HD5770 and so on.

Also,hotness argument is just getting boring - the 9000 series Nvidia cards were rated for well over 100C. My mates single slot 9800GT could run very hot and it was in a SFF PC,so it was running well into the 90s for YEARS.

HD4870 cards ran hot and still were fine. Had mates with hot running GTX470 cards which lasted for years. The Titan X runs quite hot. Some of the pre-overclocked GTX970 cards could run hot. I have used SFF PCs since 2005 - all my cards have run hotter than average and have been fine for years.

As long as the card does not throttle and the capacitors are good quality solid jobbies,the cards will last for years.

Nobody is ditching their Haswell CPUs since they run hot. Most owners of Haswell CPUs in the world are using stock coolers,meaning they are run into the 80s and 90s quite easily if stressed.

Heat production is another thing - but people seem to be interchangeably using waste heat production and hotness when they are NOT the same things.

And so on? The 5770 didn't come till 2 years later. The 8880GT was primarily set up against the 2900XT and 1950XTX. TITAN X is a 250w part, power consumption on the 390X is considerably higher, for less performance.

This is where arguments arise. Lack of facts and sound logical reasoning! Thankfully it's difficult to argue further with such logic so I will leave you to your devices.

The 8800GT and 8800GTS 512MB and its rebrands were fighting against the HD3870, HD4830,HD4850,HD4770 and HD5770.

I had loads of cards - including derivatives like the 9600GSO and so on.

It was not fighting against the the X1950XT - stop distorting things. Even the 2900XT example is stupid as at the time,people knew the HD3870 was coming which itself made the 2900XT redundant.

The 8800GT was released at the end of October 2007 and the HD3870 in the middle of November.

I should know as I ordered both when they were first available to buy in the UK,but I cancelled my 8800GT order once I knew the 8800GTS 512MB was coming in December. The 8800GT was so popular there was backlogs for orders.

So it appears you are OK with Nvidia rebranding the G92 core a 1000 times even when AMD/ATI three different cores.

I had loads of G92 and equivalent ATI/AMD cards at the time.

It came from having two gaming PCs each with an ATI or Nvidia card in it.

The exhaust from my 9800-GX2 was so hot that it stripped the paint of the skirting board behind the tower :D

LOL.

I remember that card - it was literally two graphics card with two PCBs!!

WTB magical Intel CPU's please that lock the heat inside the die. Will pay with whatever remains of my soul or could also part exchange for these magical beans, new and unused, I bought last week.

Heat contained within the die?! 5C knocking years of components?

Would love to see some concrete evidence for that. Not to mention you contradict yourself.

In the spirit of saving you time and effort, I wouldn't bother. I can confirm however that old delidded intel cpu's do make great heatsinks! Tested on AMD CPU's and GPU's to great effect.

Well, now we can get back to the topic at hand, a lot of people seem to be getting very hung up on 4GB not being enough for 4K, a thing to remember though is that 4K accounts for a ridiculous low portion of the market, over two thirds of the worlds computers run 1080p or lower anyway. So by saving money on the VRAM but making it super fast, AMD seem to be gearing the Fury for dominance at the resolutions most people game at, which from a business pov looks like a good plan to me.

I expect the majority of Fiji owners, who will no doubt be 1080p, to be unhampered by 4GB. By the time they they need more Fiji level performance will be mid range (and 4GB acceptable). Wont stop the minority being excessively vocal about it and throwing a couple of exceptions around as absolute proof!

What the hell is this crap?

The uniformed having been buying products stupidly for as long as trading has existed? Why so worried now about uniformed buyers?

If you are spending £300-£400 on something and don't do any research into the purchase then you are an idiot. 2 minutes on google would have showing that "poor guy" that the 390x was not the top of the line card.
Click to expand...

no...the 390X WAS the top end card for months on end, it only changed to Fury X recently, because this caught me out too.

he probably brought it without realising, but what really is dumb is he didn't take a look at it before buying it..... because it's clearly a 290X....................duuuuuuuuuuuuuurr :D

the 390X was always Water Cooled and the Air Cooled version will still not look like a 290X, simply because it'll have a much shorter board........i think
 
I think AMD should have just kept the previous naming scheme.

390 series = Fury
380 series = Hawaii reflash
370= Tonga reflash
360 = Pitcairn reflash

They could have called the 390 cards:
390 PRO
390X
Fury

AMD's top range card will need to be at least 80% as fast as my 2x 290x or i simply wont bother updating :/

One card always offers the best experience gaming.
while Dx12 will offer a better option single card reaching dual cards is the better choice.

Fury simply is the best gaming experience.

There's nothing magical about it, small surface area (more than half of the already tiny die is the iGPU) along with poor heatspreader contact makes it so that the die gets hotter and can't disperse heat efficiently, you get similar temp and heat extraction with Intel's latest CPU's whether you use the piddly stock cooler or a monstrous dual radiator heatsink. AMD are still on 28nm so like Intel with Sandy Bridge don't have the same problem but do pump out loads of heat, Sandy Bridge-E was similar in heat output to AMD FX but Intel have since moved on.

I have official 3xx EU prices. These are in HUF with the hungarian 27%. VAT

Model FOB guidance USD Official SEP USA (USD) EURO Hungary HUF Hungary (27% VAT included)
R9 390X 8GB HUF 149,276.00 ~ 320£ with 20%VAT

£345 + delivery for the 390X, think I'll pass :P

It's roughly 118,000 HUF before their 27% VAT, so use our 20% VAT instead and its 141,600 so £327. It won't cost any more for a UK supplier to get the cards delivered than a hungarian one, so looking at around £327 plus delivery UK price (If the hungarian prices are legit).

*EDIT*

Ahh I see you ninja'd your post to add the UK VAT option, meh lol.
