AMD Radeon 300 Series Pricing Revealed
The pricing for the AMD Radeon 300 Series pricing leaked onto the web, from Radeon R7 370 to R9 390 that is.
In this turn wccftech claims to have sourced the prices and are so sure about it that they won't even call this a rumor. Here's what they have to say:
For anyone that’s paid attention to the discrete graphics business, even if for short a while, an aggressive performance per dollar focus from the red team will not surprise you at all. In fact many would argue that it’s been the mantra for Radeon. Providing users with performance that would otherwise only be accessible for a significantly larger premium from the green team.
Segment | Graphics Card | GPU | MSRP |
---|---|---|---|
Enthusiast | R9 390X 8GB | Enhanced Hawaii XT | $389 |
Enthusiast | R9 390 8GB | Enhanced Hawaii Pro | $329 |
Performance | R9 380X 3GB/6GB (NOT CONFIRMED) |
Tonga XT | - |
Performance | R9 380 4GB | Tonga Pro | $235 |
Performance | R9 380 2GB | Tonga Pro | $195 |
Performance | R7 370 4GB | Pitcairn | $175 |
Performance | R7 370 2GB | Pitcairn | $135 |
Performance | R7 360 2GB | Bonaire | $107 |
AMD’s Hawaii is returning with higher clock speeds and double the VRAM. The R9 390X, replacing the R9 290X, will undoubtedly be faster than its predecessor. The higher clock speeds for the GPU core will likely enable the card to completely close the gap with the GTX 970 at 1920×1080. The doubling of memory capacity and the faster GDDR5 VRAM frequencies will enable the card to distance itself even further from the GTX 970 at higher resolutions in which the R9 290X is already ahead. A better deal however is perhaps the R9 390 8GB which is even less expensive at $329.
An Tonga based R9 380X with a 384bit interface, 2048 SPs and a clock speed north of 1000Mhz will hold its own. Especially considering that it can address the huge $130 market gap that exists between the GTX 970/R9 390 and the GTX 960/R9 380.
For the R7 series we see Pitcairn at $139 and Bonaire at $107.

Should this piece of news really be in this forum section?

I don't think I'll ever buy a high end AMD card for myself again (I'm done with all things AMD) but I do hope AMD causes nvidia to keep their prices reasonable.

Man am I glad I didn't wait for the next gen AMD cards, there's only 1 and they're not even marketing it as a mainstream card. Not surprising, considering what nVidia are doing with their high end GPUs AMD have no reason not to follow suit.

I told you guys long ago about AMD, there a waste of time, they should just give up making GPU's and go make dinner plates or something. Yes prices for Nvidia will rise but AMD are beaten by Nvidia hands down. I wouldnt even use one of there GPU's even if i was for free, id rather just sell it or give it away, waste of time they are.

Unless they show something spectacular, it doesn't look that great. I can see 290x at around $300 @ newegg, and it's not that terribly more expensive over here in EU.
