**AMD Radeon 390X Graphics Card WCE**

I think some people don't believe how much a difference HBM will make.

Have you ever tried similar cards one with DDR4 and one with GDDR5 ?

The difference is very noticeable and 50-60% isn't that crazy of an increase imo for HBM (new tech).

Looking at bit bus we are talking maybe even bigger gains at 1440p and 4K than most will suspect.
 
Now it'll be interesting to see how long after the reviews for this card come out people are on the moan about amd said this or that in referring to these leaks as if they were fact. Happens EVERY time. :)
 
60% i can believe, its atleast possible
what i cant believe is that its ready now but they waiting until june!
that cant be true! lol

If it is 60% (which i doubt) makes you wonder how much it could have been at 20nm or 16nm.

What's to doubt? The Titan X is basically looking like a 980 +50%, so it's not stretching credulity to believe that HBM + core advancements won't make a 390X 60% better than a 290X.
 
i wish these sites would put graphs out showing its really slow, maybe then AMD would release something real to prove them wrong lol ><
 
The problem is the Nvidia fans flat out refuse to believe AMD can pull of such a thing, they need some justification to lay against the cost of the TitanX, so they choose to ridicule the very thought that those specs are even remotely anywhere in the same country as the truth.

The fact is only AMD know the power of the card and its potential with HBM, everything else is merely speculation, until we see actual specs of the card and then true benchmarks it's all just theory and conjecture.

I will say once again though I believe HBM to be a game changer, Nvidia are planning to use it, so while I am skeptical I also will not be surprised if the 390x is near the quoted figures in regards to performance, I also expect it to come in around £600 or so, I have no evidence of any of this however I have a hunch AMD have something huge up their sleeves, if not then I'm sure you would have seen specs released by now.

All these "leaks" are fuelling the hype train, something AMD normally don't bother with as lately their cards haven't really been overly special, but like I said a while ago I just think this time they are holding the trump card with smug "you ain't seen nothing yet" grind on their faces

I could also be terribly wrong tho as well lol
 
If this card turns out to be 60% faster (or even half that) of the 290x, I just can't see this 390x launching at £500/£600 like a lot of people are thinking. If it's going to go head to head with the new Titan, and has this much gain over a 290x, I'd expect £700 minimum without a doubt. That's still more than likely, hundreds of pounds cheaper than a TitanX, they'll still sell loads compared to Nvidia.

The thing that I find astonishing, is we still have no idea on solid facts. I'm hoping the reason for the big silence is they have something awesome up their sleeve, better than we could ever imagine, and really want to catch Nvidia off guard with a wow factor.

i'd make it the beginning of May, they're probably hoping to sell more 290s, so they dont have too much wasted stock gathering dust.

AMD realise that they'll sell flipping loads whenever it's launched, because Titan X is loosing its momentum already..there is only one thing needed to sell this card and to destroy Nvidia for this year......... more grunt than Titan X.

price?......... no, only a fool would get this wrong

there is one really important point here, a fly in the soup, Titan X is the best card for me ...............damn it :mad::mad:
 
I don't think the 390x needs to be better than the Titan X just better than a 980, which means it wont be ridiculously over priced like the Titan is most likely to be.

Looking forward to the Titan X benchmarks though.
