Why did AMD do this? This is the first time I've purchased a GPU that wasn't part of the newest gen.

The 380 us available in 4gb you dingus.
Allso why the hell did you buy a graphics card months away from the first process shrink and architectural overhaul in years?

Don't forget improvements fab processes and VRAM binning making for higher clocks at the same power consumption.
>>
>>52478466
zero fab or vram improvements were made and the high clocks were assisted by increased gpu voltage.

that is the cold hard truth and i don't give a shit if you try to reply with lies.
>>
>>52476435
Who gives a fuck they don't support hdmi 2.0 What a load of bullshit.
>>
>>52478498
I guess I'll just have to go and buy nVidia then SENPAI
>>
>>52476435
that card would fucking blow up, get one with better cooling
>>
>>52478428

>improved asics
>improved vrms, and all major components
>card runs cooler, clocks better
>drasticly improved cooler (msi 390x runs 20% cooler than msi 290x)

but i will say this, i have dual 290x system, and its a fucking beast rig. a guy offered to buy my cards for the same price i paid 3 years ago lol.

talk about value.

>>52476435
>390
>too much ram

That's just retard speak.
>>
>>52478428
yet performs as good or better than a 290x with less cores and power...
>>
>>52480439
also they were equal in price for afew months
>>
>>52480439
stream processors excuse me
