What's New with ATI's RX Series?

Good afternoon, forum.

I've been a bit confused about the improvements with ATI's new line of video cards, the RX series. What's so special about them when compared to the HD 7000 series?

Well, many of those cards are just rebranded ones from previous hd 7000 series: R7 260x---HD 7790 oc, R9 265----HD 7850 oc, R9 270x----HD 7870 oc, R9 280x----HD 7970 oc. Many of those cards come with a bios update to support dx 11.2 and some (R7 260) came with nice features like trueaudio.

The high end flagship cards ( R9 290/x) are really new architectures with notable perfomance enhancement over previous gen and of course all new features mentioned above, you can see a review here at tom´s about those new cards.

*AMD
From the R7 270 to the R9 280X, they are just rebranded HD7000 series cards. The R9 290/X are cards with the new Hawaii GPU, but still using the GCN architecture.

Nvidia are doing the same thing. The GTX770 = GTX680 while the GTX780 is just a Titan with half the VRAM.
