Fiji PCB's have been found in shipping and mysterious benchmarks of unknown GPUs have appeared online. Could this be the AMD R9 390X? AMD Fiji?

Read more on the AMD R9 390X/ AMD Fiji Leaks here.
 
AMD will be safe from a full fledged maxwell for a while I reckon. I hate the reference amd cooler even more now but hopefully they've now learnt that its best practice to launch the card with coolers from people like Sapphire.

Its hard to judge whether the new (potentially) hybrid cooler is a sign that either the card carries on the 290's legacy of toast making or AMD have decided to go full overkill for reference card cooling. Either way it looks awful and I hope that there will be alternatives.
 
Glad the rumors have started. Just means that we are closer to release date sooner, however; that god awful reference design whether it be blower or the pictured in the article needs to be changed... Plastic for a potentially $600+(guessing) card is unacceptable.

Just give the shit early(like insant from final design) to the vendors and give them good samples that they can actually use and make something worth out of it.
 
ATI IS ALIVE :D

The hopefully new reference cooler has one sexy piece of a shroud. Too sexy for a reference card. (especially an AMD one :P )
 
Hopefully the 4096bit tag is referring to the HBM memory modules and coupled with 4k+ SP's this GPU could well be incredible.

Rumourmill has the possible titan II/980ti at ~3k sp, I am left wondering whether maxwell really has pulled the rug under AMD in terms of efficiency and per core grunt and AMD response being just alot more of the same.

Either way this card released in step with Freesync monitors would be spiffing.
 
As someone who is saving to buy a new GPU, this rumour doesn't have me putting my wallet back in my pocket. I don't have the cash to spend on a flagship card, which rules the 390x out of the equation right off the bat.

I don't like how AMD release their flagship product first instead of building up to the flagship product. Nvidia released their mid range and higher end products at the same time giving a much wider market availability. All in all, a leaked shroud photo and a fuzzy screen grab are not much to go on. I want information on core speed, temps, memory bandwidth, OC potential. Look's like i'm still going for a GTX 970
 
Come on guys, no one has seen how this will perform yet, or know how AMD has tackled power efficiency. Until such time as we know what's what the only thing people can really comment on the the look, an even then there will be aftermarket coolers that vendors will be up until on these. Let's all try an stay optimistic hey, competition is a good thing for us all.
 
I don't see it having 4096 stream processors. It will be like 3584 at the very most.
If AMD bring out a card with more than 4000 streams I will eat my words and buy one, as long as it doesn't cost more than Palm island.

I'd be very excited if they come to the market with an alternative to the 970 at a lower price point. Say if they can get like GTX 780 TI beating performance for under £250. If they come out with something that basically performs the same as the Nvidia cards it will just be a waste of time and I will lose confidence in them.

I have always been an AMD man but I'm leaning more towards Nvidia recently based on their leap forward in silence, TDP and just the quality of design.

I'll always buy AMD if they can actually come to the market with a fantastic alternative.

Well considering they took a 280 and slightly changed a few things and got it down to 190watts from around 250watts. That's 60 watts alone. I'm sure they can do more with newer stuff since they have had more time to work on it.

Indeed mate I for one am looking forward to seeing what they produce
 
The way prices are now, I would think about a second 290X, if you only plan to buy 1 390X. I think the performance would be superior, and a lot cheaper.
 
Now I have to start thinkig of buying the 2nd 290X or wait for 390X and sell the "old" 290X. :/

As kong said, It will probably be cheaper in the long run just to get another 290X seeing as the 390X is coming out with an AIO bolted to it meaning it's not going to be cheap.

Rumored to be coming with an AIO, that info is unconfirmed.
 
With the current prices of the R9 290X, I'm kind of half sorry I didn't wait until around now and buy a 290X now rather than buying my 780 towards the start of the year. I paid around €460 for it at the time, I'm seeing 290X's for around €300 now. :eek:

As for the 390X, it'll be interesting to see what AMD come up with. I'm sure they've got something to topple or at least challenge the GTX 980. I'll be skipping the next generation but I'm looking forward to seeing it. :p
 
Hopefully not. AIOs are just the easy way out of making a proper cooler.

Yes, but AMD doesn't have any better solution. The AIO on the 295x2 works like a charm and to be honest I wouldn't mind an extra rad in my build if it could give me Overclocking capabilities or super cool temperatures.

of course the cards will end up getting an aftermarket Windforce/Vapor-X/TwinFrozr cooler so don't really get upset about that
 
I'm presuming AMD will not be dumb as they were last time and let partners release GPUs with their own coolers as opposed to using whatever this new reference cooler is. Sapphire and XFX will probably come up with something that is quieter, cooler and better looking for less money.

I would imagine that you will be hard pushed to get quieter than the aio 390x, once you put a decent fan on the rad (noctua or aphenfohn).

The card also looks like it comes with a fan for the vram as well and I'd imagine thats not quiet as well but yeah, I guess you're right if it is indeed a AIO cooled card.
