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

[shankly1985]

I think the only thing I've truly learnt from this thread is just how easy it is to chuck up a 'news' website, post any old rubbish and then just add a disclaimer at the end.

i.e.

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-300-series-pricing-leaked-expensive-200-series/

"So remember to take these numbers with a pinch of salt, this is tagged as rumor for a reason.

The Radeon 300 series is set to launch on June 16th at E3.
"

so lines of rubbish, a one line disclaimer and then finish with one line of actual fact. :/

Correct, meanwhile these sites are rolling in it from or the traffic.

[EXCLUSIVE] AMD’s Fiji XT Based Card ‘Radeon R9 Fury X’ Smiles for The Camera – Interposer and PCB Size Revealed

http://wccftech.com/amd-fiji-xt-based-graphic-card-r9-fury-x-camera-interposer-pcb-size/

512GB/s memory bandwidth... what happened to the 640GB/s that has been banded around since the dawn of time? the 8GB 390X will only be 128GB/s slower and you'll have twice as much memory to play with.

It's false, just ignore these sites information till its confirmed..

Pointless

Losing the will to live a bit reading this thread. And I posted that guru3d link a few pages back, but no one seemed to notice.

Anyways, to cut the ********, Is the current feeling/rumour/conjecture/hatstand that AMDs flagship new gpu is going to be no faster than 980ti and only 4gb. Anyone?

Sorry Wunkley, I missed that but I firmly believe the first iteration of the Fiji Fury X (the top card) will come with 4GB and maybe a 8GB will come when HBM 2.0 is mainstream. I have no issues going 4GB either but it isn't ideal.

As for performance, I would be guessing but again, so long as price is decent, I will get one.

Hope so because if true 8GB 390X Crossfire actually looks the more attractive option than the Fury, assuming it has the revised GCN architecture and AMD get their act together with Crossfire profiles.

Think the article said august, which is before HBM 2's release.

 

[mmj_uk]

It looks like the 640GB/s bandwidth figure we've heard since the beginning is with the HBM memory operating at 1.25Ghz, so either wccftech have got it wrong or AMD have had to clock it significantly lower than they had originally planned.

 

[se_vietboi]

They said it's the fastest GPU in the world. That's good enough reason to wait for me.

Looks as if that mad looking powercolor card will have ram variants, pause at 1:02 and you can see 2 boxes next to the pcie connector, 1 saying 4g and 1 saying 8g. Vids in swedish though.

R29FA on the card so its rebrands of the R9-290

What i find hard to understand is why would AMD release their top end top tier card with 4GB of ram yet the cards below have 8GB??

Just doesnt make sense, yeah i know the HBM gen1 limitations etc, but still, why even bother?

If there is any truth that the card cant beat the 980ti and needs watercooling and a huge power draw to keep it cool, this will mean very small room for overclocking it.

I cant see AMD selling a card with HBM and an AIO for less than the cost of a 980ti, i just cant.

I just hope a lot of this is FUD and no one actually knows the true performance of memory stack size yet. Because if the above is true, well..... i cant buy AMD anymore and will definitely go Gsync and probably SLI 980ti

Were these here already?

390X Devil:



290X PCS+:



So the same PCB except one is marked LF R29F and the other LF R29FA. What's the difference then? This emerged last autumn:



The LF R29FA aka the newer version aka the one used in more recent 290X by TUL/Powecolor and apparently their upcoming 390X is the cheaped down PCB, with Powerblock mosfets instead of the IRF DirectFET mosfets of the older version and cheap dingy coils instead of the quality coils by Cooper Bussman, among other changes (for the worse).

Good going, Powercolor.

The only "official" word is it won't need more power than the 290X. If thats true, then its not power hungry, nor hot, and will overclock nicely...and it won't be cheaper than a 980Ti but it will be cheaper than a TX.

 

[flopper]

Good going, Powercolor.

Demo ex, they used a old pcb.
no conspiracy.

So you are saying they will go back to using quality components for the production units, after turning their original 290X PCB into a pile of poo for the sake of cost-cutting and then bolting a 390X cooler on top if it to pass it as 390X, with no intention to use the PCB in production?

Plausible.

I've asked this question a couple of times, and no one has provided an answer.

I think that's because there really is no sense to it. A powerhouse of a GPU that's going to be bottlenecked by its measly 4 GB VRAM.

 

[Vinno]

I'd be happy to buy the Fury being at a similar or even slower performance than the 980ti as long as the price is right. Although I assume for AMD as a brand it would be a big blow.

Ye, they have had such a long time to work on it surely they would have gotten 8GB ready for their top cards.

It makes even less sense if wccftech are correct about the HBM memory only being clocked in at 1Ghz and 512GB/s, as it's not going to be a massive amount faster (memory bandwidth-wise) than the 390X with 8GB GDDR5.

I think the most likely answer is probably missed targets, they can't keep delaying it forever.

Well considering its unveiled on the 16th of this month, hardly a mahoosive wait to find out the actual specs as opposed to the rumoured ones that have somehow become fact.
