AMD Radeon R9 390X Performance Numbers Surface
It is rumored that AMD is working hard on releasing the next high-end graphics cards, tagged as Radeon R9 390X (or 380X). Asian website Chiphell now has posted a couple of benchmarks in their forums 'showing' these graphics cards in terms of performance.
We think the result tagged as "Captain Jack" could be the Radeon R9 390X (we think) and not 380X, though that remains to be a VERY wild guess. Performance wise it is looking pretty good TBH, however the results should be taken with a HUGE massive grain of salt as there is no validity whatsoever of these results being the true thing let alone indicating what card it precisely is.
So look above, at Chiphell a user posted two charts, the first (upper) chart shows average performance from several gaming titles such as Assassins Creed: Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Alien Isolation and Metro Last Light Redux. it is a horribel way of normalizing a chart, but hey at the very least it is indicative of something. As you can see, the games were tested across a wide range of graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD at 2560×1440 resolution with IQ settings set to maximum. The test setup includes a Intel Core i7-4790 clocked at 3.60 GHz and the drivers used were 344.75 WHQL for NVIDIA cards and Catalyst 14.11.1 BETA for AMD cards.
The second chart as shown above shows relative load (stress) power consumption, at just undfer 200 Watts. Anyway, we post it as we see them, make of this whatever you want.

Well at least performance wise it looks pretty neat. Yet I'd like to see the price for this performance, since it has to at least meet the 980 pricing to become attractive... if it's more than the 980 it's no big deal if it's faster, imho.
Yet again, I think the Titan2 might still beat it in terms of performance, if the rumored specs of it are true.

Looks alright. Beating everything is what we expected. I just hope this isnt just a rumor due we dont know the real name of the card yet.

Chiphell is usually on the money with leaks.
That aside, from what i've been reading its the 380x and not the 390x and that would kinda makes sense on the power consumption vs SP side of things.
Anyhow looks interesting.
Yeah, from a translation, its only the midrange 380X (supposedly).

Now if true that brings AMD back in to the power / performance game pretty much perfectly. While being 14% faster in that then 980 and 22% faster then 290x. It would be decent bumb.
For some reason after recent power bill I would consider buying 980 or 380x
290x is a beast and a good card but yeah.

The Titan II will run faster, have better performance and also run on less power, I guarantee it.
On a side note I got offered a 290x today for £150 from work colleague.....I said nar, ill wait.

I believe that those are excellent news for someone planning the purchase, for both teams. The sooner this card will be available the better.
I like ShadowPlay recording and G-Sync, and I hope that this new competition will decrease the prices of GTX980

I was hoping more (unless this is the midrange part)... However, if they price is competitively, this could be nice.

Depending on price I think I might sell off my 780 and grab one.

I always take these results with a grain of salt. If they're true, then awesome - I look forward to its release. Also, that would mean I'm glad I didn't buy a R9 285, because that means GCN 1.2 has already been obsoleted. I'm sure a handful of the 300 series will be GCN 1.2 based, maybe even 1.1. But if these results are true, they're a little too good for the tested GPU to not be a GCN 1.3.
I really hope AMD fixes this mix'n'match thing they've got going on. If they're going to continue it, I would hope all R9 GPUs would be either GCN 1.2 or 1.3, and I then R7 would be GCN 1.1 or 1.2. But I'm sure that won't happen.

If it is only midrange it would be phenomenal tbh.
