285Pro is 1792, 285XT should be 2048. We should know more tomorrow.

AMD's naming scheme ... man! So the R9 285 will be slower than a 280X ...

Its the 280 replacement, the 280X replacement, is the 285X.

This is what I have been waiting for, good performance with acceptable power draw.

Yeah, it's only now that I've needed to get a new card though really. Just so happens that this has rocked up at the right time 🙂.

not a fan of the new naming amd is using it can be confusing for people that dont closely follow hardware.

This card is horrible. Seriously, the 7950 was going for $180 during its lifetime. This card launches with less ram, 256bit at $250. It is hilariously bad.

They added amd audio and that new crossfire thing, freesync i believe as well? But still price is ridiculous , it could be a fine mid range choice if around 180 dollars or so.
