This is the first time I haven't been rabidly following GPU developments/launch info, for ages.

Probably something to do with the 2x Titan X's I have though.

Tiny PCB, single 6 pin and air / blower cooler. That's the reference AMD 370.

That is not a single 6-pin, its the bios switch. Also they showed the fiji gpu with HBM before the card which points it to being an aircooled Fiji reference card (Fury Pro or XT). So not a 370 for sure.

This thread will implode if their announcement does not deliver.

However I do feel that they will come through and showcase all the variants due to the speculation by everybody.

I wonder if Nvidia releasing the Ti was a knee jerk reaction to what is coming.

Looking at a benchmark for Gigabyte G1 Gaming 980Ti, It would seem that they have buried the TX. Just seems strange to me that they did it so soon before the big AMD announcement

I don't know why I'm posting this, probably just another clickbait site with false info. But here is pricing that apparently differs from previous rumours. According to this, the 390x should be ~£300 (inc VAT ex UK-price-gouging). I'll only buy one if the performance is significantly better than the 970 at 1080p in games like GTAV and Crysis 3.

Interesting that it notes the lower segments (r7 etc) will do well out of this release. Not my market of course but might be good for growth.

I don't think it was anything to do with AMD's cards. The sooner they got the ti out the more people would buy it instead of waiting for next years die shrink where the big increases will be.

You can clearly see its a single 6-pin, and it is the 370.

Backplate and Ports are identical to a 290X though

Get yourself down to specsavers son. That's a 6 pin and it's the ref 370.

I hope this is Fud, from, well Fud.

We will see the card debut on June 16th at an AMD gaming event, but most of the information will come on the 18th. We expect to see first reviews before June 25th as people usually need a few days to test these cards.

Was posted on the 10th.

Not entirely, the new card has a DVI port and a DVI-D port, the 290X only has DVI-D ports.

NexusK · 16 Jun 2015 at 14:01

That's clearly a spec of dust at the top of the card which means it's a 590X

That's what I thought was happening for a while now. AMD announce and reveal on 16th Fiji comes at end of month after reviews get chance to review.

(This is why I don't understand the reviewers crying, especially on twitter etc

)

No sign of these yet?

Was hoping to get a price reduction on the 970.

The AMD event hasn't started yet. Starts around around 5pm?

At least the backplate is the same

Thought I had everything covered, but should know better by now

I agree but i could also be to remove a significant amount of potential buyers with money to burn for new cards.

I don't know how many bought the TI that could have been AMD customers for the fury if it turns out to be awesome.

It being over 14 days since release means that those who did buy it on or near to release are now stuck with them and buyers remorse may well set in sooner rather than later. Not all mind you.

I really hope the fury is everything the positive speculation says it is.

Look at the 370 picture again and tell me what you see and don't see on the 290x. (hint if you want to crossfire you don't need one with xdma)

Orangey · 16 Jun 2015 at 14:08

Guys the Best Buy price for a 390X is $450 with suspected heavy gouging.

That works out to £357 with VAT. $400 = £256 + VAT = £300.

'bout tree-fiddy is probably what you can expect the gouge price to be until they figure out how dumb trying to gouge on a low-demand item is.
