*** Proper 390X review & discussion thread ***

The dog in Fallout 4 will obviously be overly Hairworks'd to make NV look good.

Basically look out for any animals with fur in upcoming games LOL. :D

As for potential tess improvements we would like to see someone run TessMark or similar on both 290X and 390X with same clocks/drivers.
 
So AMD did what they had to and laid out the designs they had again with the 28nm updates. Although there are no new claims for process efficiency gained, the 15% number seems reasonable but it includes both clock and power savings. AMD would not even specify which process it was on, SemiAccurate suspects it is 28HPC+. So to settle the debate, these device are all new but look to software like they are the same old same old. Actually that settles nothing, flame on forum goers.

Intredasting

Here is the 28HPC process:

Never thought I'd see the day Charlie turned on AMD

He's butthurt they're not giving him any ammo

If they did a complete respin and stomped the 980 by 30% across the board or whatever, he could do the thing where he turns around and says "of course I told you this here here and here" [insert links to tangentially related stories from 2011]

I know nobody cares but, for posterity's sake.... new silicon makes it a refresh, the word rebrand would be incorrect here. I don't think it's a matter of opinion as AMD have spoken up on the matter now which makes it factual. Previously it was only speculation.

This is a rebrand:
