First Radeon R9 380 review

[Gibbo]

Surely no NDA on can I pre-order? Just a vague answer like not this week, would be helpfull.

Go on sale on 24th, I've not checked what time yet on 24th, shall do so closer to the time. Got 300 series launch to sort first which is tomorrow at 13:00 UK time.

To gauge stock quantity. How big a pyramid can u build?

Thanks Gibbo So, they won't go on for pre-order before the 24th? Thus consuming all stock before hand.

Nope, hard launch on 24th with limited stocks.

The stock will sell within 60s of going live, quite literally.

Dam ...... pre order wise for the fury (after the initial stock goes) do you know the time-frame ? i.e would we be talking days, weeks or months ?

Hmm, see what happens tomorrow or take a punt on a cheap vapor-x 290x today and hope the 390x 8gig doesn't launch for £reallycheap.

Or just get a 970. Hmm, critical decisions

Thanks Gibbo, very helpful. I'll make sure the credit is ready for the 24th!

So.. one a second then?

So only 60 in stock then ?

I`m sure if you wanted to Gibbo you could get the ol' Burger out and do a Fury Pyramid.

How many cards, minimum do you need for a GPU pyramid, maybe he hasn't got enough.

I might do this being a long time and the pyramid will not be so big.

I wasn't accusing OCUK of anything dodgy I was just highlighting that the review sample is likely handpicked by AMD and not necessarily reflective of retail cards, there's not much you can do about that if AMD won't allow you to assess a retail sample. They seem to have quite a tight control of this launch.

im absolutely sure nvidia do this too so jogg on

Gibbo if this pyramid looks like this there is going to be a riot.

Ps don't forget the burger

A little bigger maybe.

 

[horrorwood]

A little bigger maybe.

So one question, is it any good? yes or no?

I bought a 2900xt on release, it still hurts.

 

[TaKeN]

First 390x review I've seen, a very decent card!

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Reviews out now, Guru3D etc....

 

[D.P.]

First 390x review I've seen, a very decent card!

Still GCN 1.1 so it looks like the same chip but faster clocks?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Same chip, **** prices
