**AMD Radeon 390X Graphics Card WCE**

[humbug]

390X with full support for VESA Adaptive Sync, full DirectX 12 Tier 3, 8GB HBM with a reasonable price tag. I think Titan X is staying on the shelf for now.

Dat Gif ^^^^

Dunno like, i quite like the 290

I love the 290 Godlike thunder king of the hill card.
But I guess I go to far when I bring it under my pillow?
My dreams accelerate faster tho.

IF this comes in under £600 I'm buying one tomorrow r9295x2 anybody?

Had nothing but issues with my 290, as has Greg by the looks of it. Awful card, would never want or own one again!

Haha!! Love it!

it's 300W will explain the need for Hydra cooling, the Titan X is far less grief and hassle, it's plug and play, but the 390X is much more exciting.

Any news/reports/rumours on what process node AMD are using for the 390x?

I just can't understand why they would alienate their crossfire users when those are the ones generally spending the most money on their hardware.

doubt it, I would say their target market in recent years has been sub £300 single GPU users.

the290 is afantastic card for 1080p gaming which is the norm. You xfire users may talk a lot but you aren't the bread and butter by any stretch for every SLI/Xfire system we build we build 10 or more single GPU ones.

Xfire on this card will be awkward you'll need to replace both single rads with a 280 whatever, or you'll have a right ugly mess in there

Well technically, the 7970 launched at $549 and the 680 launched at $499, so I blame AMD for setting such high prices allowing the nVidia to creep up the prices

Nvidia's prices don't creep up they fly through the roof.

Not Necessarily, the 290X had a 300w TDP, it pulled about 270w.

Compare that to the 7970 GE which pulled about 240w, the GTX 780TI which pulled about 250w.

It does not need Hydra Cooling, like the 290X a good AIB Cooler will keep it around the 70's.

I think what we will get is what the rumours predict, standard Air cooled ones and Hydra cooled ones, the latter are likely to keep temperatures very low for massive overclocks.

I couldn't argue with that when it came to the Titan launch and even more so on the Titan Z

That isn't what I said though is it.

I'm saying the people who do buy into crossfire are the users spending the most on their hardware.

Crossfire users shouldn't be ignored just because there's more single card users. Nvidia don't abandon their SLI users for months on end so why should AMD?

It can put people off going for your single card options as well as if they ever have future thoughts of going crossfire they won't if the support isn't there.

Same, cracking card, plows through evrything with ease

Maybe they will make a Titan V for value.

yea of course sorry..............unless the Hydra has a 75 degree throttle back like the 295 ..........but i doubt it, worth mentioning though

Its does, i'm playing Metro LL at 1440P, Very High, 16x AF, Very High Tessellation... its chewing through it like its warm butter.

Great card.

I think most would take it as "GTX Titan two fingers up at ya Edition"
