XFX places Radeon R9 390X on website

XFX places Radeon R9 390X on website

I don't think there ever has been one product launch where XFX didn't goof up and leak information. At their website XFX has posted images of the Radeon R9 390X. 

Alongside of it information on an ASUS R9 390X leaked onto he web, confirming what we have been saying for a while now, the Radeon R9 390X is the Hawaii (likely renamed to Grenada) based product re-injected into the 390 series. From ASUS a specs-sheet surfaced on the WWW, the DirectCU II OC model would be clocked at 1070 MHz with its GDDR5 memory running at 6000 MHz (effective data-rate).

If these specs are correct then the 390 is to be merely a fraction faster opposed to the 290X, especially considering this is a factory overclocked OC model. One advantage is that memory is bumped up towards 8GB. But hinestly, we had no problem with 4 GB on the 290X either as it is sufficient already, likely the only thing 8GB will do is once again bump prices on a product that has been out there for quite some time now.

The Radeon 300 series product line will be announced June 16th including the Fiji based Radeon R9 Fury range that will get HBM memory.

Just why AMD? I know that you need to be different and do something to get some income but a direct rebrand of 290x to a 390x?

2 Years waiting? for what? a rebrand? Did they really cut R&D that much?

What I don't understand about the whole approach by AMD is we were previously told the 3xx series cards were being held back to reduce stock levels of the 2xx series cards before unleashing the next generation.

As it turns out that, with the exception of Fiji, the new cards are the same as the old ones I can't understand why these weren't released around the time of Maxwell. It seems like it has taken an awful long time to strap an additional 4GB of storage onto the card (Which already existed in some 8GB 290X cards) and change a 2 to a 3!

All I can say is Fiji better be amazing and the rest of the lineup needs to be very competitively priced else I can't see AMD selling a lot of cards till the 4xx series.

My mind is blown too.

This is pretty "wtf" really :| I wonder about the remaining bits, like power consumption, thermal envelope and % support of DX12 though. Actual performance is also somewhat interesting. Price is a key factor here more than the name and if priced competitively enough it could make a difference. A 290X is plenty for 1920x1080/1200 gameplay, after all. Enthusiasts buying dual Titans and such are among the minority, and if they can get Radeon cards in budget friendly builds selling as steam machines and what not, it could be very helpful.
