PowerColor shows off their Radeon R9 390X DEVIL GPU, but be warned, this is not AMD Fiji.

Read more on the Powercolor R9 390X Devil here.

Looks more like a child's toy than a proper graphics card...

 

[Doomslayer]

The only thing i don't like about it is the Silver apart from that it looks to be a good GPU.

 

[Ghosthud1]

Backplate looks great, everything else looks like a happy meal toy.

 

[barnsley]

aww man, I liked how the devil cards looked. This is pretty cheap in comparison. Probably overclocks stupidly well though.

 

[CreatiXx]

i really hope the 390X's wont be rebrands! that would pull me to the green side or there has to be one hell of a surprise incoming

The new card is called fury..

 

[CreatiXx]

i'm a bit lost with this fiji fury thing and rebrands, no rebrands.

 

[Greenback]

TBH if they are just rebranding then I'll be tempted to go green for less power and less heat and no extra rad to find space for

Not just you dude...

Ok.

Well, there has been articles on this but you've probably missed it or something.

Basically, the 390x is probably a slightly improved 290x (think 7970 to 280X, meaning better clockspeed and potentially lower power draw ), 390 is 290 but the important one is what we originally thought was the 390x, which now appears to probably be called fury. Could this be a Titan bother-er? maybe.

so to put it simpel, a bunch of rebrands and 1 new card release?

Can't say if they'll do a 290/290x and release a slightly less faster version along side. My personal feeling is they will do a watercooled version, which is very highly binned and can keep up with the Ti and an aircooled one, which will do battle with the 980.

I don't like the design of this GPU at all! It looks like a child's toy, not something I'd be dishing out hundreds of pounds for, imo.

Pretty sure they are refined versions of the older ones. Rebrands is a little misleading. They probably updated them to GCN 1.3 so they could support Freesync, DX12, etc.

 

[CreatiXx]

refined okay, but would it be worth to pay the full pot for a 'refined' version instead of just
buying the older card new for lot less?

Yes because it's a newer version on a newer architecture version. It's not entirely the same. I would be surprised if they didn't move Tonga/Tahiti/Hawaii onto GCN 1.3... they'd be missing Freesync and full DX12 support.

Actually they can't. Tahiti is GCN1.0 Hawaii is GCN1.1 and Tonga is GCN1.2 The only GCN1.3 card would *probably* be Fiji. They cannot just take a (for example) Tahiti GPU and slap a GCN1.3 architecture onto it as it will no longer be Tahiti. It will be something different altogether (Fiji?).

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

The cooler part looks silly, clever positioning and angle of the fan there by Powercolour the backplate looks like the one Sapphire has on their Vapor-X.
The card will overclock like a beast (hopefully)

 

[Warchild]

correct term would be a respin product rather than rebrand.
