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

[Devrij]

Don't want to dig through all the AMD/Nvidia stuff, so have we had any updates on when we expect the 390/390X to arrive? Is it still Q4?

No one knows anything yet.

Swapped for 280x. Sorry this is the last on the non 380x subject, but by gfx rubber banding i mean.. As i approach a corner the frames freeze then 1/2 sec later i'm back but further into the braking zone. The game carries on and i'm just thinking... What was that? Dunno my mate said it sounded like rubber banding i don't really know though.

That's an issue with the game, not any specific gpu or vendor.
It's meant to be getting addressed in the next major update.

Cool. Replays are a little strange, think that was mentioned for the update too. Can wait for proper nurburgring!

390X - Liquid Cooler Confirmed

AMD’s flagship R9 390X graphics card powered by the next generation Fiji XT GPU will be shipping with a Cooler Master liquid cooling unit. That’s right, today we’re bringing you an exclusive news update of AMD’s hotly anticipated next generation top dog graphics card.

There has been a whirlwind of speculation, rumor and leaks about AMD’s new Fiji XT based R9 390X flagship. And as we draw nearer to its final date of introduction we are able to chip away at the fact and at the fiction and sort them out one at a time.

Finally we can confirm to you that the new graphics card will indeed ship with a closed loop liquid cooling unit from Cooler Master. The specific model in question is a 120mm Asetek based design variation that Cooler Master had licensed and used before. The pre-filled water cooler is very similar to what AMD had already introduced with the R9 295X2 and the boxed retail version of the FX 9590.

So they have solved their heat issues I see

**** the power consumption and heat, as long as it curb stomps 980 all will be good.

Expected I suppose but kinda limits how many you can have in your case unless you splash out on an all out water-cooling system. 750 d could accommodate 3 with the oem config.

Assuming there's an X2 variant that will likely have a 240mm rad, should be interesting to see how that works out.

That said, last I checked (few years ago) you was an Nvidia fanboy. What happened?

I see they also mention that other vendors will have their own 'air cooler' variants. I said this before that the AIO is likely just for AMD's own reference design, as the last ref card was so badly lambasted.

For the performance VS it's power consumption it's actually more efficient than the 980 as well. 8 Tflops @ 300w is epic !

I says on the data sheet "Cooler Master Heatsink"

This is also a Cooler Master Heatsink AMD use.

Humbug you've just brought me back nightmares of that cooler, oh how I hated it and it's deafening spinning.

Horrible cooler i know, made my ears bleed. have not used one for many years now

I had to suffer through two of them when I went from a 6350 to a 8350, the second only lasted two weeks until I got my Arctic Cooling Freezer 13, but those two weeks were still agony. Especially bad as I use my pc to render 3D characters through Lux whilst I sleep.

The specific model in question is a 120mm Asetek based design variation that Cooler Master had licensed and used before. The pre-filled water cooler is very similar to what AMD had already introduced with the R9 295X2 and the boxed retail version of the FX 9590.

We’ve reported earlier on Asetek’s largest design win with an “undisclosed OEM” for desktop graphics products that will begin shipping in the first half of 2015. The design win is estimated to result in 2-4 million dollars in revenue for Asetek. Which would translate to selling between 50 to 100 thousands units. It was clear from the get-go that this “undisclosed OEM” was AMD. Soon afterwards the R9 390X cooling shroud that would accommodate the Asetek liquid cooling design was leaked.

Let me briefly comment on this development in terms of Cooler Master’s involvement. AMD had introduced the R9 295X2 ,which is still the fastest graphics card in the world, back in April. It was the very first reference designed graphics card to ship with liquid cooling. AMD had partnered with Asetek which is one of the largest players in liquid cooling to develop Project Hydra. Which what ended up cooling the R9 295X2.
AMD Radeon R9 295X2 HydraA couple of months later AMD re-introduced its 5Ghz FX 9590 processor into retail with a new package. The updated package included a liquid cooling unit from Cooler Master which was used to replace the previously shipped closed loop water cooler from Asetek. The new unit was slightly cooler and quieter than the Asetek water cooler it replaced. So even though Cooler Master had actually licensed the design from Asetek, this goes to show what an industry veteran that specializes in cooling like Cooler Master can achieve with a few intelligent tweaks.

Seems they need liquid to keep this beast cool.

 

[Minstadave]

If the performance is there I'm in

 

[snips86x]

Bit of a disappointment but not really a surprise. If the 295x2 was successful with it's CLC, there's a good reason to use it again - still, would prefer the original reference coolers.

 

[eddyr]

Prob due to the ram on package rather then outside and cooled by ambient air, there's more heat being generated in a smaller space.

At a guess it's just for the reference cards, hopefully board partners can get the job done with their non-blower heatsinks.

 

[pgi947]

As I've said before on this matter, a fail of enormous magnitude if it's true, it cuts out large parts of their user base that would rely on ref blowers.

Don't do it amd, it's a dumb move, just redesign your blower cooler and stop using the one from the 5870.
