Won't anything below the 390 just be recycled, old-gen cards?

I was hoping they wouldn't be :( there were articles saying the 380x was going to have hbm ect ect.

What's worrying though is one of the high end 300 series got benchmarked and temps on load was 73c and that was it liquid cooled! it should be way below that!.

so if these temps are true then aftermarket companys are going to have a hard time with the 300 series trying to keep temps down.
 
No point using cutting edge, likely expensive to implement HBM on lower end cards tbh. I would expect it only on 390 / 390X to begin with. As things get cheaper we will likely see a new top to bottom stack. I'm just hoping for a more than 4GB HBM option. I would happily pay high price for that.

what would 4gb hbm equal in terms of gddr5?

is every gb of hbm doubled/tripled up?

Common practice. Current high end becomes next gens mid, pretty much.
I'm surprised at how little **** has been said about AMD doing this, compared to how much Nvidia got, lol.

Check AMDs current lineup, all rebrands with the exception of the 290/X (and that horrible little thing nobody owns)

Very likely because wise people like to wait for the facts and not act on rumors as if they are facts.
And the 290/x is holding up very well and most will be more upset if the new arc card only offered what NV has compared to last gen.

That's at 1080P, if you look at the 4K results on the same page the 290X 8GB wins in min and max FPS against the 980, I wasn't referring to peak FPS anyway but the 290X does pull ahead at higher res there.

What I was originally referring to was less / drops stutters with more vram. The 980 generally does get higher peak FPS than the 290X / Titan Black etc, but from my own experience, games that need a lot of vram Shadow of Mordor / Wolfenstein run much better for me, smoother / no stutter on the 290X 8GB. I game @ 1440P with 290X 8GB. My boys love the 980, they game at 1080P.

You can see how much the extra memory buffer helps performance. Playing the game with both the 290X 8GB and GTX 980, the 290X 8GB does give noticeable better game experience, smooth etc. As games are only going to get more demanding, the 290X 8GB makes a lot of sense, especially at it's current price point. I'm going to hold out for another 8GB card before upgrading, unless DX12 really does find a way to remove the limitation with tiled resources or something. Tbh though I'll just wait for 390X 8GB, or if I absolutely must an 8GB GM200 (I really don't want to have to go to the dark side :p)

looks like nvidia provide the smoother frames in all games
 
So exactly the same forum rumour chart as previously linked, which sites are circulating because they don't have a clue what actually happening.

I'm kinda disappointed that they are not even being inventive with their click bait and using their imagination like charlie does and are just using forums. It's like when news outlets use twitter as a source. :/

Giving an opinion on the information in the rumor and accepting the rumor as fact are 2 different things.

You laughably accused Greg of twisting posts, lol.
Well done, sherlock. Rumours aren't facts.....

You can safety assume everything in rumour threads are people posting their opinions based on what happens to be in said rumour....sheesh.
You can however (with a high degree of probability) say most cards will be rebrands as its common practice, check out AMD's current lineup.

You just contradict yourself, because if im pointing out the obvious facts then im not twisting things, im just pointing out the obvious.

And now to try to make my point clear to you.
Some peoples posts are clearly accepting the rumor as facts and are going off on one and some are not with well if true then such and such which is an opinion, that was the point and whether they make a fuss over the information given depends on that, so with that if you are surprised that more people are not making a fuss its your opinion that more people should be accepting the rumors as fact or very likely, but clearly they want to wait for the facts before getting emotional over it.
