Possible Radeon 390X / 390 and 380X Spec / Benchmark (do not hotlink images!!!!!!)

Only reason to price the cards higher than 2XX series if they truly did something..."enhanced cores"... 390/390X needs to be at least on par with the 970/980 for those prices.

Yeah I'm expecting these cards to be good. No rebrands, a refresh from very high end to low end. More Vram than competition on the mid - high section, and a whole new architecture on the flagships.

Also I got an email from AMD today regarding upcoming cards, which is great because they are advertising / communicating with their customers.

Feeling pretty positive for AMD on this launch now, especially when you think they have co setup with PC Gamer the first ever PC 'E3' event. They are doing good things should get more credit than they do perhaps.
 
"That means we can create a small form factor graphics card that is the fastest in the world" That sounded pretty clear to me.

that sounds to me like they are saying they can create something faster than the titan-x and half the size :)
but i guess you can read it different ways lol
 
CMON... What means that AMD can make A small form factor gfx card??? Hmb which is what he was refering to. That means we can create a small form factor graphics card...(hmb) which is the fastest graphics in the world. Looks clear enough to me to understand
How u can take that and understand it as it being pegged against small form factors is bit more of a jump.
 
I even tried to give him a heads up to change it before a mod see it.

Anyways back on topic, I have watched that video again from Matt and Lisa and he does claim it to be the "fastest small form factor graphics card in the world" My initial impression was "WOW, they are confident to come out with that....Woot" but when you look a bit deeper, it is going up against the GTX 970 mini (not sure of any other small form factor cards with that power (980 perhaps?)) So that kinds deflates me a little.

What video is this?
 
I'm quite ok with 4gb for 4k. The only games that require more than that are terribly coded messes like Dead Rising 3 that you could only play on crossfire anyway and crossfire doesn't work with it. In essense Dead Rising 3 will not be playable at 4k Max settings for anyone until single cards are at least twice as fast as they are now.

Also whoever said 7970s were cheap they weren't at launch I paid something like £429.99 for an XFX Core version on day 1 at a local computer performance/enthusiast parts superstore. Then the 780 was £659.99 for my first one EVGA Superclock on day 1 and £539.99 the next month for a 2nd one. The epeen of that glowing logo to show my mates was worth the 1 month price drop lol.
 
So the 8GB GDDR5 390x isn't expected to match the 980Ti?

Mate, I seriously hope you are right but being an ex Union Rep, I tend to look a bit deeper on statements like that (maybe wrongly) and wordings have to be carefully picked or they bite you in the arse later (I have done it myself). To me, they have said what it is and this leaves it open to interprotation but I would much rather take it as the fastest graphics card in the world over the fastest small form factor graphics card in the world and not long to find out what it is.

AMD have a good product stack here imho.

How does a GPU with enough horsepower to rival a Titan X or even beat it having 4 GB sound good?

Where is the sense in this? It will be VRAM bottlenecked for sure.
