Shame it didn't release a lot earlier. It's not bad but feels somewhat late to the party. Still for 190 bongaroos it's not a bad price.

T...thanks AMD!
If I'm willing to drop 300 shekels for a graphics card around Black Friday, should I go for a R9 390 8GB? Or is there a better bang for your buck alternative?
AMD NEVER FINDS A WAY
>tfw I missed a 290 4GB for 279 bucks at my local store
>>51421720
>ebay
>limited quantity available
kek. You could buy R9 390 for $260 on the regular Newegg website with promo codes a month ago.
Comparing deal prices for old cards to launch prices of new cards isn't very smart. When the 380x goes on sale it will be below $200.
GTX 960 is basically dead now.
>>51422080
>960
>dead
Do you have any idea how much room Nvidia has to work with?
The GTX 680 was built with Nvidia's midrange Kepler chip. The 770 was the same chip. They replaced it (along with Big Kepler) with an even cheaper chip in the 980/970. They've been getting away with charging $550 for this because AMD offers no competition.
The GTX 960 is that chip cut in half.
Nvidia could drop the 970 to $200 and the 960 to $100 any time they wanted. It's AMD that's bankrupt in the era of $150 price premiums.
>>51421397
You're fucking retarded. There are a ton of games that use more than 2GB at 1080p now. Stop trying to make yourself feel better about owning a poorfag card.
>>51421720
on top of that it's 35% slower than the reference 970. all 970s can OC a lot, so this is just embarassing.

>>51422291
If Nvidia can drop the 970 to $200, than so can AMD with the 390. They are the same size chips.
To be honest, the video card market has been stagnant for years now.
I think it is a combination of lack of competition for Nvidia and the restrictions of a 28nm chip.
Crysis 3 is unplayable with anything less than a GTX970/R9 290X.
And Crysis 3 is almost a 3 years old game now.
>>51422516
Hey guys, I'm really tech retarded and have no idea what I'm doing. I currently have a 570 gtx is it worth upgrading? If so any recommendations?
>>51422618
In half a year the 16nm chips will be launching.
You don't want to buy these rebranded rebrands of 28nm chips now.
>>51422516
Just where did you get the impression that AMD was making money?

Not for now, i've got a HD 7970. If I oc'it it's almost so powerful as a 970. I'll wait for 2016, let's ser what AMD presents
>>51422976
see
>>51422903
you fail economics
So just get a 4gb 960 or nah?
>>51421508
Barely enough to justify the price difference. I can't think of a single reason to buy 380X when I can get a 960 for $50 less or a 970 for $30 more.
>>51423070
Yup, everyone but you is overlooking that AMD could overtake Intel and Nvidia if only they'd cut prices.
I still feel no need to upgrade from a HD7850
I might get the card but will wait and see what Black Friday brings first. I have been looking for a used 280x or 290x but other than ebay I haven't found anything not overpriced.
>>51423131
>a 970 for $30 more.
Can you niggers stop comparing deal prices to release prices? You sound fucking retarded.
Fuck you guys, any decent GTX970 cost here around 340 to 350€.

get the fucking 280x. Same performance for less price.
>>51423244
Right, these deals are pretty much exclusive to the US/NA, unfortunately. Which is why the 380x is a particularly great card to launch in Europe and abroad.
>>51423348
>limited quantity ebay sales count
>rebates don't count
whatever makes you sleep at night
Get a used 290 for that price. Or 280X/7970. 3 GB is OK for 1080p, and you won't go higher with such a card.
Don't buy rebrand shit, stop talking about how Nvidia is jewing us, because AMD does the same. Best option now: 290X/780Ti and wait for 2016. You get these "old" cards almost for free and should not care about DX12, the first DX12 games will arrive in late 2016 or early 2017.
>>51423248
>So? Sale prices are still real prices people can buy 970s for.
Those same sales apply to all cards dipshit. It's fucking retarded.
>>51423349
>less memory
>slower
>same performance
>>51423387
They're still buyable for that price and rebates don't count towards whatever method of payment you've used until weeks afterwards.
And that's IF they even get approved at all. They disqualify you from rebates for the dumbest of things, like a ripped bar code.
If I go with AMD how well will my CPU paired with it do with Phsyx?

The difference of FPS is about 10-20 FPS
We are talking a CPU/APU under 90 freaking dollars, cmon.
>>51423656
The 280x is a much more powerful card, but the Sapphire in particular is also quite large and power hungry. If you don't have a problem with size or power usage, get the 280x for sure.
Nitro is a brand name. "Tri-X" and "Vapor-X" is not just marketing bullshit:
>The Tri-X cooling solution also employs Sapphire's Vapor-X technology. Vapor Chamber Technology is based on the same principles as heatpipe technology. A liquid coolant is vaporized at a hot surface, the resulting vapor is condensed at a cold surface then the liquid is returned to the hot surface. The recirculation process is controlled by a wick system.
http://www.techspot.com/review/841-radeon-r9-280x-roundup/page6.html
Tri-X coolers are basically three fan systems using this Vapor cooling technology. I have a Vapor-X Tri-X 280x; under load, it does not go above 65 C. And I'm talking Metro Last Light at almost all max settings. You can see the results of the above tests for confirmation.

>>51423656

>>51422516
AMD raised the price of the 290 when they rebranded it as the 390, they won't be cutting the price at all unless they're forced to do so.
the 970 has been $250 for a long time now too, so unless something radically changes AMD is fucked
>>51421344
>190$
I don't know much, so I bought this card 2 or so years ago a few months after it came out..
Is it worth upgrading from a gtx770 for the extra VRAM? It's running at 1200Mhz, I get smooth 60+FPS gameplay at 1080p high settings for newer games (GTAV, MGSV, BF4, Assetto Corsa)..
I'm assuming it would mainly allow me to up texture res at 1080?
>>51424002
Shame the 770 never went down. Costs as much or more for the 970 as the 770. I was hoping when I bought it it would eventually cheapen up and I could get it a twin, but seems not.
>>51424002

I have the ASUS Cu-Core or whatever with the fancy copper tube cooler. Was the same price as any other at the time and my tower is an old Dell Precision (2008) with 2 old Xeons. It can get hot, I was worried, so that's my story.

I swear the price of a 970 dropped 100$ in a day according to 4chan
>>51423819
I haven't personally tried overclocking yet. It will only have so much room because of voltage lock, but judging from the article I linked, there's substantial room for memory overclocking over core overclocking that can still give a handful of frames in performance boost, which can mean the difference between 60 frames or less.
It's a shame, given how much headroom these cards have with such fantastic aftermarket coolers.

>>51424455
>The 380 was already beating the 960 mate
beating reference 960s (which can't even be purchased) is not the same as beating a 960
>the 380x has pretty much free reign
it's only equal in performance to an OCed 960, that's not 'free reign'. it took AMD over a year to reach parity with it.
>and if you read reviews 960 its always trading blows with 285, usually losing on whole count but just by tiny bit
those reviews are dishonestly comparing reference 960s with oced rebrands

>Most 960's are reference cards you cunt
no, the majority of the ones you'd find today are factory OCed. regardless, you'd be an idiot to buy a maxwell GPU and not OC yourself, especially since OCing maxwell doesn't require increasing voltage.

I don't think so anon.
No all 380's where built for 1080p and some light 40" 144k displays nothing bigger.
Besides i don't think the middle class would buy 4k, would they?
I think that's why the 970 is the same.

AMD fucked the naming up.
270/270X = 380/380X
280/280X = 390/390X
290/290X = Fury/Fury X
???????? = Fury Nano
>>51424327
144hz or nothing
>>51421338
Friend, you have the greatest card that was ever created and has aged beautifully.
Why upgrade just yet?
>>51425746
As far as I know, the only differences for each of these price points is a MP shrink and HBM on the Fury cards.
No clue why they felt the need to misalign the card names. Either the new series underperformed or overperformed.
>>51425746
>doesn't understand architectures
Protip amigo: tonga is tahiti's direct replacement so now just about the entire AMD lineup supports the same secondary featureset.
So will Nvidia make a 960 Ti ? There seems to be a large price gap between 960 and 970; but if they put real 4 gb in a 960 Ti, it will kill 970 sales.
>>51425923
In an ideal world, AMD would have just downgraded the GPU's price level so that Fiji starts as the 390X/390, Hawaii at 380X/380, etc.
The R9 X90 is supposed to be the flagship cards anyway, Fury kind of ruined it.
>>51425980
They're probably going to drop the naming scheme next gen anyway and return the the x90 being the top card. Otherwise the dual gpu card would be called the "Fury X 2 X2" which is retarded.
>buying a new GPU now when a new gen is coming in mid 2016 and everything will get lower prices
>>51426021

HOW??
>>51426021
Why not go to 4xx
>>51425923
What has that got to do with anything..? It's about price/performance points, and the logical generational replacements based thereon. Feature set differences are negligible in both generations of R9, so why even bring that up..?
>>51421447
Thats the worst card money can buy.
Why are you baiting retarded anons?
>>51426110
It matters because hawaii is still a performance tier above tonga and fiji is essentially a mashup of tonga and hawaii with HBM and a shitload more shaders. Tahiti is now 3 years old and AMD has put a big push into its secondary featureset thus having two of the more popular cards in the range not supporting these features is silly, hence why tonga is a direct replacement and not inherently a performance tier jump. Remember: tahiti doesn't support freesync for vidya and a shitload of other things (like VSR).
Tonga in some areas is actually considerably faster than tahiti (and even hawaii) which let AMD actually cut down parts of the GCN design to get the same performance.
>>51426133
But that's not an R7 370
>>51426159
Tahiti is/was also a large chip wasn't it? Being at the time the top runner with lots of DP capability along with ~200w power draw and large coolers needed. A size reduction on Tonga should also translate to a lower bom.

It's been looking like such a clusterfuck of half-abandoned 'new architectures' lately that I haven't had the patience to dig beneath the surface.

computer recycling center that i visit.
They hadnt tested it yet, so they werent sure if it was working or not.

>Tahiti is/was also a large chip wasn't it?
Off the top of my head, yes. It certainly has excellent DP which consumer cards don't need (hence the enormous gimping maxwell has compared to kepler).

For the most part review sites make more noise about it than AMD themselves do. They see GCN as a single architecture that has evolved in the years it has been out. However people need to apply labels to everything so GCN 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 get thrown around along with the various codenames AMD uses to designate the chip itself that gets confusing fast based upon a lot of poor explainations.

Yo if you're still here (or anyone else) I currently have a 6950 from 2012 and I was thinking of buying my mate's 7970 for $100. On the other hand, I could get like a BNIB 290 for like $180, might even be able to find a 290x for $200 or so in the near future.
I'm not poor but I also don't want to over pay if a 7970 OCd would be enough to last me another year or two. The only game I play that I can't run well is FO4 but of course I might get new titles in that time, although I don't buy many new games.

A 7970ghz to 290 is roughly a 40% increase in performance. Also: don't buy a reference 290 unless you plan to rip the cooler off.

Node shrinks only happen every few years so it is worth hanging around to see what falls out.
Nvidia doesn't want to completely kill off AMD, same as Intelt, to create the illusion that there is still a competition ongoing.
Both Nvidia and Intel could slaughter AMD at any time given.
They just chose not to do so and keep AMD alive.
>>51421321
its not though.
Going to throw away money for a new gpu right now. Convince me not to buy this shit when I can play everything on my toaster already please.

>Nfags buying b-stock
>AMDfags are the ones that are retarded
>tfw you got a 380 4gb for 146 bucks
enjoy your overpriced 380's with an x added for no reason.
I had some hopes for this one, but I'm not sure it will be enough of a step up from my 280. I guess what I really want, is a ~$300 GCN 1.2 card that will perform about where the 390 is, a 395 if you will.
Since the power management patches for AMDGPU won't be officially released for a few months I've got more than enough time to wait.
Is the 390x worth getting over the 390?
>>51428302
Well of course they buy B-stock, the 970 comes with a factory defect as standard!
>>51428353
From a pure price vs performance perspective, no.
>>51425746
>270/270X = 380/380X
380 is based off the 285
380X is a bigger 285 chip
>280/280X = 390/390X
390 is based off the 290
280X was retired, GCN1.0
>290/290X = Fury/Fury X
Fury is new Fiji
>???????? = Fury Nano
Nano is unique, Fiji with lower TDP
The 'naming scheme' isn't a reference of previous cards. AMD doesn't always shuffle every card down with each generation update. 7000 series, every GPU was new.
>>51428301
What PSU do you have?
Imagine Nvidia would correct their mistake and release a GTX970 with full 4GB.
Imagine Nvidia would release a GTX960Ti
Imagine Intel would release bigger CPUs with performance jumps than Skylake.
I(AMD)EAD would literally go bankrupt, unstoppable and nobody would take over the company but just buy out their licenses.
>>51422395
But can they OC to 4gb
>>51428382
>7000 series, every GPU was new.
I really wish AMD had made the cutoff for their new drivers GCN 1.0, it would have been so much cleaner. Making GCN 1.2 the requirement is just going to be a mess and there are far too few cards that qualify. Maybe with the 400 series we'll have another clean refresh with all cards being GCN 1.2 or better.
If AMD's official open source Vulkan implementation only supports GCN 1.2 hardware that's really going to suck.
>>51428509
>Making GCN 1.2 the requirement
Did they actually? Is this official? Sounds pretty retarded, desu.
>>51428719
The source is his posterier.
>>51424446
>Preowned, used card with reduced warranty
Why do EVGA shills post this shit in every thread? You're literally better off buying a used card on ebay that still has the full warranty.
>>51428784
What are you talking about, AMD have been very clear that AMDGPU and their new hybrid driver model is GCN 1.2 only. They've also to my knowledge so far only discussed Vulkan support in terms of their new hybrid driver model.

"A DisplayPort 1.2 to HDMI 2.0 adapter should work just fine and will support 4K @ 60Hz. Just make sure you use a certified HDMI 2.0 cable as well. Both the adapter and cable can be purchased on Amazon now. Also, I recommend you verify the HDMI 2.0 port is configured for 2.0 and not 1.4b within the TV settings menu."
Friend your bait and obvious angry rant is falling on deaf ears, the solution was here along time ago.

>Crysis 3 is unplayable with anything less than a GTX970/R9 290X
Someone educate this profligate kekboi
>>51429714
Is there anything that will do the opposite? My monitor has a pair of display port inputs, but only has HDMI 1.4.
is the R9 390 worth getting this christmas?
>>51425028
And benefit of extra vram at 1080p?
Higher res textures, correct? (I assume it wouldn't really effect gpu processing much once they are loaded in vram but I don't know) Anything else it would be good for besides a small increase from the 770 suggested by that chart?
>>51431322
what games and resolution will it be used for?
