Sapphire Releases the Radeon R9 390 TOXIC Graphics Card
It's a little weird to see these products released so late, and so close to Polaris. But Sapphire released their new Radeon R9 390 TOXIC Graphics Card. The product is aimed at the Asia region and comes in a nice white color style.
The VaporX cooling solution is all white with a black PCB design. It's factory tweaked quite a bit, 1120 MHz (reference is 1000 MHz). The memory clock is 6.00 GHz on the gDDR% memory.
The card has 2560 stream processors and 4 GB of 512-bit memory is fitted on there running at 6.0 Gbps. Anyone with a monitor resolution up-to 2560x1440 can play their games at good quality settings, and with a small tweak or two, ultra high definition gaming at that big whopper of a resolution called UHD - 3840 x 2160 pixels. The AMD card are doing pretty well with DX12 right now.

The gDDR% may have been a typo, but the 4GB VRAM isn't. R9-390s with only 4GB VRAM have been on the market in the Asia-Pacific region since late last year.
I have links but I don't have enough of a post count to be able to post links. Google "4gb R9-390" and you'll find plenty of articles about it.

I wonder how long this one will retain its sale value. While current low end cards are bound to be crushed, this may live a while.
But it really depends on how close Polaris 10 will be. If Polaris 10 is actually around same level, or OCs well, then this is waste of PCB.
And if Polaris does not do good job slaughtering it, Pascal will.
(Hawaii GPU is not bad, and improvements done with Tonga/Fiji were not putting it that much behind, because those were simplification/efficiency changes and Hawaii was simply built with super thick memory controller. But now, it is going to be 2 generations behind and some of changes are likely small in design, but big in impact on performance.)
