Any news of the 390x yet or is it likely to be in March now?

Might pick up a 390 or 390x if the performance difference is worth it, wish the first lot of cards had more than 4gb vram but oh well maybe it's only needed for 4k.

380/390's will be out when
"We'll release them when we're happy that they're ready for our customers."

Ha ha, should be AMDs new motto.

it'll be more like :-

``i've just tested it, it's running a bit hot and noisy boss``...........``all our cards are like that, i wouldn't worry about it too much just get it ready for next week``

“We are confident that as we get into the second half of 2015 with the launch of that new graphics product, we will gain back the market share which is low from my standpoint and historically,” said Devinder Kumar, chief financial officer of AMD. “We need to be significantly higher than where we are right now.”

That has to be SOME ****ing card tbh!!!!! IMO it'll have to wipe the floor with the Titan X for a max of £200 for that to happen

SO this person is claiming the 390x is better than the Titan X :confused:

Tbh, if the 390X is 90% of the Titan X's performance for half the price it's gonna SELL baby

This sounds more like wishful thinking more than anything.

Titan X benchmarks and complete specs havent even been released. How can someone make claims like this?

AMD will have no problems selling at least five 390Xs for every one Titan X that NVidia sell.

Yes, but for them to gain their marketshare back then it's going to take something very very drastic...

If you remember the 290X was forecast to cost quite a bit more than it did at launch, Gibbo (and I'm sure others) had some input into the pricing and they dropped it a fair bit and sold well. Their marketshare STILL tanked, even though the pricing structure was more reasonable!!

Let's face it, nVidia have quite a hold of mindshare and anything AMD do has to be a long-term plan rather than short or even medium-term.

Personally I'm just glad they got some recent heavy investment, because it means they aren't going anywhere for a while yet and have time to get it right

They must know how each other performs, as everytime they release a new GPU, they are always not far off each others performance.

We've seen the TITAN X, we've heard the 390X has been shown, so both are finished, but i bet either one, is not totally blowing the other away, they'll be close.

Orangey · 5 Mar 2015 at 20:06

If they really are doing a clean sweep and releasing new chips in every price bracket (as per kitguru), that implies some are ready now and the others were supposed to come maybe during back-to-school/xmas.

So both companies are hoarders!

Yup

This is huge? 8GB confirmed (16Gb=2GB per stack * 4 stacks = 8GB):

Just goes to show how slides get outdated and you can't trust them after a certain amount of time.

Also Fudo is running a paid FUD piece about Fiji being dual GPU, his "proof" is a mention of multi GPU on a Liquid VR slide... I won't waste your time linking it.

Ayahuasca · 27 Mar 2015 at 16:23

would have preferred to see a HBM1 comparison as that's what the upcoming cards will be using?

You think the 390X has 8GB HBM2? That will be epic if true, 8GB+ is the sweet spot for new cards imho. If I was buying later on this year would much rather have 390X 8GB over the 6GB 980 Ti rumoured.

FUDO is indeed claiming that the 8GB Fiji card is 2x4GB dual GPU. Here's the link below for anyone interested. (I hope this isn't right).

http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/37373-amd-fiji-has-two-gpus

So, when Fudzilla wrote that Fiji is going to ship with 8GB of RAM, we didn’t actually think that we were talking about two separate GPUs, on separate interposers, with each GPU using 4GB of HBM1 memory. This is how AMD got to 8GB, or should we say two times 4GB for this card. It makes much more sense now, and of course we would not be surprised to see Fiji for notebooks and lower-end desktop products in a single GPU configuration.
