If there's one thing I would like Amd to do with the 390 at launch if they cannot get their power consumption down to Maxwell levels while at the same time not cutting down on performance is to forgot about the reference air cooler and launch the 390 with good coolers like the Sapphire tri-x, vapor-x or PCS have. People are still talking about how hot/noisy the 290x/290 are at 94c because of the ref cooler. It could not keep the temps down (without being noisy) with the amount of heat being produced yet these aftermarket coolers have no problem keeping the Hawaii cards at approx. 70c with low noise.

Even non reference coolers aren't always reliable, I got an MSI 290x gaming and it hits 94 all the time so I asked here and the Overclockers staff response was that it's normal as there own MSI 290x gaming also does it, I then searched several forums and found that there was plenty of people with the MSI and Asus non reference versions suffering from the same issue.

The Asus and Msi non ref ones don't cool as well as the non ref coolers I mentioned although I had a Msi 290P and it stayed around 80c with poor case cooling. Others got lower temps with better case cooling. Sapphire and PCS are reliable at cooling the 290.
 
i spoke to a amd guy once about a hot amd 4850 i had that went upto 100c he said dont worry safe to a tested 125c.

i was surprised at the time but even though that card ran hot it was a great faultless experience.

By that logic you would also be better off with a 970 over the 290's as they have less power, ergo less heat. But the point is the argument is twisted to suit DM's agender for AMD. Do you see him singing the praises of the 970?


flip, flop, flip, flop...............

How does what I posted say that? I said that performance and price come first, provided the heat output is not excessive. I just acknowledged Kaap's statement that when you put 4 gpus in a case that you will have to think about heat output

Sorry should have been clearer, not aimed at you just a general comment about how people argue for what matters and what does not with a GPU and how it changes to suit :)
 
what is acceptable as a trade off :-

1.......semi high temps
2.......a card that's too big

what is no no:-

1... too much money for only a 10% power increase over mine
2....NOISE :mad:
3....Water cooled radiator hanging out the side


it's going to be interesting

it wouldn't bother me a radiator hanging out the side :)
I hope its more interesting than the 285...

i think it'll be a good card........IT'LL HAVE TO BE, because otherwise Nvidia will disappear over the horizon.

the GTX 970 has one fault, it's a bit boring, but the MSI Lightning was too much money back then, but the next MSI Lightning 390X ;);););)

the price will be interesting too, the MSI 970 is about 320 quid roughly, so a 390X would be about 400........... but what will the 390X Lightning be, the one to have.............yea' well :mad:

RAM will be important too, just look at FC4, even on 1080p
 
Hoping for more than 4GB tbh, will grab this if AMD can fix IDLE power use / temps for multi screen setup. Looks like a monster on paper, although this spec could be totally wrong :p

something doesn't look right with that picture..

I mean how the hell would the know the rest of the specs apart from the main ingredient, the chip its self? I mean come on. fake as you want lol.

But I hope its true, because I cant wait for a absolute beast from amd!
