I don't think there is anyway that we will be getting a 390x that matches or beats the Titan, as much as i would love this to happen, it's not. Then the price will show the difference.

I'm still getting one because it should be faster than a 980 and I can't afford the TX

that was said about the 290x and it did match and beat the titan,but who apart from the people who have signed nda know.one thing though it is a possibility.(maybe wishful thinking)

I wasn't around when the 290x first came out, I was still playing with Action Men

Maybe, I hope so. As long as it beats the 980/980Ti if they are releasing that, I'm getting one. And I need to get one as it's the reason I'm putting off water cooling! I want a nice crossfire, water cooled system but it's not worth doing with the 290x at the moment.

if you could pick up a second hand ek water block from mm for your 290x,it would get you started on w/c

Yeah but I don't see many people with lightning cards sadly

I usually buy everything really quickly, or as soon as I want it so it quite nice to slowly gather bits and see the pile start to mount up!

Nevermind a Titan beater, which assuming it even happened, would be a niche card anyway... the big question is what AMD will have to compete with the 980. Surely it's unthinkable that they wouldn't release a GPU that doesn't better it at a similar price point nearly a year after the 980 was released?? That would be utter suicide on their part!! And with the 980Ti around the corner, it would be 'bye-bye AMD' for good if they don't come up with something special.

Calm down dear. 380 will equal 980 and the 390 (non-Pro) will equal the 980Ti

Its not hard for AMD to match the Titan-X, its not all that.

They might struggle to match its heat and noise output

Maybe but given AMD haven't matched Nvidia's top end GPU since the X1950 XTX from 2006 it's not that probable unless AMD have made a u turn on strategy.

Not at all, they will just take the cooler from the reference 290 and make it worse, job done

By the time 390x is released we will probably be living On the moon, driving hover cars and computers will be a chip implanted into our bodies directly

Not really, as they seem to have those in the bag

Are you speaking from first hand experience.

Perhaps you should check out a single reference 290X which has far greater noise output than 4 TitanXs.

Nah! surpassing those factors is AMD's forte.

Didn't the 290X match the original Titan, which is why we got the 780ti?

Seem to remember the 5870 also ruled for a while too

R290 was about the same with Titan and r290x somewhere just above.

Don't forget the 7970 ruled for months before 680 came out. Then it was 5% behind. Then the new drivers came out that whooped the 680s butt.

This is why AMD have such a hard time, everyone conveniently forgets their victories.

Is the 360/X supposed to be a new card or a rebrand of the 270/X?
