I use NVidia cards but gotta tell yea, AMD, stepping it up with performance while also keeping the compute side and bitcoin mining. Both companies have some serious awesomeness all around 😀. Debating though..... grab a second GTX 780 Gaming edition, save a bit more and see how the 880 does, or see how the 390x does...... hmmm......

Second 780 and wait for Pascal or the successor to Pirate Islands.

Yea that's what I was thinking. I just tend to not go SLI but to buy the newest GFX card of the year. 580 when it came out, 680 when it came out and now 780. I'll have to think about it though. Thanks for the reply.

Tbh if the 880 is real in the other thread it stands no chance against 390x O.o really noway it can stand a chance. Everyone of these is just speculation and we will see both camps delivering real stuff late 2014 or early 2015 I shall get second 290x once new stuff hits the stores 😀

Yea seriously that 390x looks sharp. What 290x you got?

Can Be Announced This Summer ?
During the CeBIT 2014, Heise (German Web) suggested that AMD can release the first video line of Pirate Islands (20 nm) in August this year. It is because Nvidia is getting the advantages on AMD in the battle of the video cards. On the other hand ASCII (Japanese Web) expects announcement of the new Radeon R9 370X in July this year. Supposedly, It will operates with 1536 stream processors, 256-bit memory bus and GDDR5 memory chips with an effective frequency of 5 GHz. Graphics core will be clocked at 900 MHz. Among other things it will support DirectX 12.
In October 2014 will be released Radeon R9 390X (Bermuda XTX) with 4224 shader and 512-bit memory bus. Frequency formula will be as follows: 1 GHz GPU chip and 7 GHz for memory chips. Later on, in early 2015, debuts of the Radeon R9 380X, aka Fuji XTX. In the arsenal of new items will be 3072 stream processors, 384-bit memory bus and chips GDDR5.Exemplary operating frequencies R9 380X make 900/6000 MHz.

The 390X looks like a monstrous gpu and I can't wait to see its performance.. :thumbup:

Nice find Rich_Guy 🙂 ...my shiny new MSI 290X Gaming is starting to feel very short lived... and I've not even gotten round to trying to OC it yet lol Some of those 4K monitors are starting to sound like realistic prospects suddenly ^^

AMD isn't limited to just TSMC. lol AMD also has a deal with GloFo for GPUs... So, if TSMC can't put out GPUs for them, AMD can simply fall back to GloFo.
LOL I'm sorry, but really? I seriously hope AMD doesn't have to count on the perpetually late to the party GlobalFoundries for 20nm chips. If they're relying on GF to keep their "we'll launch our 20nm SoC's in 2H 2014" promise, then they (AMD) are in a bad place. :bang:

I hope so. Had enough of this pricing bollox like the TITAN cards. Some healthy competition is sure to bring that down.

Sounds about right that a new series will come out soon, Just when I bought a new R9 270 making it already obsolete, Just like when I bought my 650 Ti 2-3 months later the 700 series came out. KJGJKHGKJGKJHGYTRFWITR*&^FGJKLGDSHJKL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is true about the 512 memory bandwidth compared to what is mentioned here about the 880. Wow. The 880 suddenly looks poor.
on paper, however minimum frames in games, different story.

AMD has maintained a contract with GloFo for GPU's for those "just in case" times. AMD is in no more of a hurry to shuffle their GPUs to GloFo than anyone else is. AMD would have to redesign their chips to shift from TSMC to GloFo anyway so there would be more delays. Basically, the contract with GloFo for dedicated GPUs is an "absolute, last resort" type of deal. It's pretty well going to be a case of TSMC just flat out being incapable of producing AMD's GPUs before GloFo would become a viable option. Of course, at that point, I'd be looking to negotiate with Samsung if I were AMD's CEO.....lol

Any news on how much VRAM the R9 390X will come with? Hoping for 6GB VRAM but if its 4GB then nothing really to worry about! Those spec's are FECKING insane!! Hoping for a nice price, and I hope to GOD that they release with a decent cooler or allow board vendors to release their coolers at launch! We don't want another R9 290/X 95*C fiasco!
