Hope they bothered to add contact to the VRMs.

Ewww

Why did they have to ruin the best looking AMD card in ages?

The more I read on the "new" AMD cards, the more I despair. We've already seen an 8gb 290X in action, Tom reviewed the XFX DD version, and we already know that in any situation that requires 8gb of vram the card doesn't have the horsepower needed to generate playable framerates.

I think the answer is clear - if anyone has been holding off buying a 2XX card in case the 3XX cards were bigger/better/faster/more, now is the time to buy that 2XX card. Especially as prices should now drop considerably.

And if anyone has been holding fire on an Nvidia card to see what AMD has up their sleeves, the answer is absolutely nothing. Buy Nvidia.

Excluding you know, Fury. You've missed whatever could come from that. The 390X isn't the flagship card. Its a bit like buying the 680 when the 770 was announced as because Nvidia were rebadging things. Completely missing the flagship card that is around the corner.

I'm not at all convinced that Fury is going to be enough of an advance to topple the 980 Ti from its top spot. But we shall see.

And you've based that on what? Lower end re-brands?

People need to stop just assuming things for the worst, all we've seen a pretty big die with no specs no numbers no nothing!

When this comes out (pretty soon) then you can go around saying buy nvidia if the results show Fury is a poor card.

But i for one hope its freaking epic!

OK, if Fury comes out and beats the 980Ti on stock performance, over clocking ability, and price, I'll retract my statement and publicly apologise to AMD.

You can't compare over clock ability.. they aren't equal. You can really only compare how far they can go. Nvidia cards since Kepler, have had the clock advantage, while AMD has not. Yet they still perform(back in those days at least) pretty equal. So if it's just the raw number you are looking at, then no you can't compare. Now overall clock increases and FPS increases, that is

Also more often than not if it's stock faster then it'll probably still be faster if you OC as well with cards of equal tiers assuming you don't get a bad chip

You know, if the 390x is not a rebrand of the 290x then it would have to be one of the best kept secrets in the GPU wars to date lol. It has been confirmed that the images are official images but they were not supposed to be linked to that page.

Oh, i see. it looks like an official image but it was taken down. someones in trouble... lol
