Picturing the R9 390X - in all its possible shapes and sizes

3ogdy · Jun 5, 2015

I've just found this picture which is allegedly an R9 390X by [strike]Sapphire[/strike] Powercolor. Anyone else got other photos of the upcoming R9 300 series?

Check this video out!

Forget the R9 300 series- Fury and Fury X are their new flagships.

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 :

Yeah, I heard about them, but..if they're meant to compete with Titan and Titan X and all that...don't expect pricing like it's a charity at the church down the street.

I'll take it with a grain of salt.

The ASUS R9 390X

This is a rebrand of 290X. If you look closer HBM memory is not coming out with this card. They are using the same old DDR5 memory. AMD is a pretty shitty company, don't expect much. If you don't believe me, look at their stock. About $2.30 a share. That's really bad.

We all know that. The only new thing coming out is the Fury series priced lower than Titan but hopefully engineered to compete with it. Other than that, they'll give nVidia a run for its money - mind you the pricing of a 390X (overclocked 290X) comes in at $390, not the $550 the R9 290X was supposed to be launched at. It also seems they've learned their lesson and they're not gonna ship a shitty card first with cooling issues and noisier than an airplane, but rather have AIB cards available from the beginning. That's what the fuss is all about - correcting any inconvenient, getting better (performing) products at even lower prices (SO THAT YOU CAN GET AN nVidia FOR CHEAPER - I'm joking...you'll end up buying two Intel CPUs for nothing but the GPU powerhouse they are - 'cuz they pack a punch (in the face))

Moreover, you're getting 8GB as default - not on a "special edition" card. I know, they sport fans. Blowers are better, but hell...you can get a blower for less than $100 if you know what street to be on at the right time in the night. And I'm talking about "recent" "models".

With the team they've assembled they're slowly getting out of horseshit. It's gonna take some time but they're getting there both in the GPU and the CPU departments.

Dunno about anyone else, but I do like the looks of that Asus 390x, much better than that 'Devil' PowerColor and gotta say, the XFX just looks.... Old.

you should read this:

and this:
http://wccftech.com/amd-fiji-r9-390x-skipping-computex-debut-e3-separate-event/

and know that this is not coming but instead, you're getting this with a different name and 10% better performance:

and this is what about 390x vs Titan benchmarks should look like:

Not Even Close

Look, look, look: Did you even read my post? I said: I know the R9 390X WILL NOT FEATURE HBM. The HBM card is also coming. There are rumors there will be a card with 8GB of HBM by the end of the year.
I thought I'd mentioned this but for your convenience, I'll say it again: "...mind you the pricing of a 390X (overclocked 290X) comes in at $390, not the $550 the R9 290X was supposed to be launched at"

Do you even understand what you're comparing? The card on Uber setting is a GPU with a stock cooler that is known to limit the card's performance. Moreover, you're comparing a stock (Uber is not O.C.) R9 290X launched in October 2013 (is that nearly 2 years ago? Wow!) ( priced at $550) to an absolute flagship card (mind the price point: $1100 ) released on March 17, 2015 (is that nearly two and a half months ago? Wow!) . Are you even serious?
THIS RIGHT HERE is the fair comparison. THIS RIGHT HERE is the pricing for the AMD card (half of the TITAN X, basically).

AMD is not putting the R9 290X against the Titan X. It's gonna place it against GTX 980 and probably GTX 980 Ti. Most likely in between them!
What more could you ask for from a refined $389 card with twice the VRAM beating the $500+ GTX 980?

WarWolverineWarrior · Jun 8, 2015

Don't get me wrong I buy amd gpus I'm just sad that it's not this:
http://wccftech.com/amd-r9-390x-nvidia-gtx-980ti-titanx-benchmarks/

But just another rebrand of the same cards.

Here's something from earlier today, which confirms basically what everyone already knows:
http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/xfx-places-radeon-r9-390x-on-website.html

"At their website XFX has posted images of the Radeon R9 390X.

Alongside of it information on an ASUS R9 390X leaked onto he web, confirming what we have been saying for a while now, the Radeon R9 390X is the Hawaii (likely renamed to Grenada) based product re-injected into the 390 series. From ASUS a specs-sheet surfaced on the WWW, the DirectCU II OC model would be clocked at 1070 MHz with its GDDR5 memory running at 6000 MHz (effective data-rate).

If these specs are correct then the 390 is to be merely a fraction faster opposed to the 290X, especially considering this is a factory overclocked OC model. One advantage is that memory is bumped up towards 8GB. But honestly, we had no problem with 4 GB on the 290X either as it is sufficient already, likely the only thing 8GB will do is once again bump prices on a product that has been out there for quite some time now.

The Radeon 300 series product line will be announced June 16th including the Fiji based Radeon R9 Fury range that will get HBM memory."
