extremely unimpressed with this, why exactly AMD needed to rebrand the 2xx into 3xx?!

[MaxTheMonster]

Er mah gerd...

 

AMD screwed up :I I loved their GPUs.

[Mohenjo]

the 300 series is one big disappointment 

 

AT LEAST the 200 series had a new chip in the 290 but now its just straight up the same cards

Over the past year I've progressively grown to hate AMD. Lazy shitheads.

lol their r9 2xx series is just rebranded hd 7xxx series cards

[Bouzoo]

That's light years behind 280x which it is supposed to replace, and sometimes losing to 960. Since 285 is not in the benchmarks I'm afraid to ask why.

290/X was a new card, not a rebrand, for a billionth time.

Sitting in line with a 960....Im impressed

Its not lazyness that causes this, its a small R&D budget. They cant afford to design 5 chips every year, its easier to use existing hardware

This was never ment to replace the 280x it was ment to replace the 280....

You can argue there's a new chip this time around too: the fiji. It's just that, to the surprise of nobody, they did a shit fucking job with their stupid naming convention, again.

No, there is no 380x, so it was meant to replace the 280 series.

2xx series has 3 2 new chips:

1. Hawaii
2. Tonga
3. Bonaire HD7790

Either release something new or don't release it at all.

[Mohenjo]

the 290 wasnt a rebrand really. 

[Texhnlyze]

Who cares? Fury is here.

[Kherm]

Did you expect it to get a performance boost? It's a god damn HD 7950/70

[Mohenjo]

 

2xx series has 3 new chips:

1. Hawaii
2. Bonaire
3. Tonga

 

proved my point even more

Nvidia has a stupid naming scheme. Whats the next titan card going to be called. Titan G?? Titan L?? Titan O??

[dragosudeki]

What's the price point for it anyway? You guys complain, yet if it is priced near or lower than the GTX960, then it is not a bad card (because it is sitting in line with it).

[Bouzoo]

I'd say that depends, if the full Tonga 380X comes out then yes, only 280, if it never comes out, then I'd go for replacing 280X as well, but as far as we know, 380X might never happen according to numerous sites.

[sgloux3470]

Nvidia fanboys sure are looking up obscure benchmarks.

 

The 380 is just the regular 285 again.  So expect this:

 

 

 

I'm disappointed there's no 380x/full tonga in the line up though.  

[Bouzoo]

380 is a 285,which is their latest new card before Fury, not a 7xxx rebrand

and no one asked them to! that's the problem, all this looks like deception and it's exactly that

 

R9 380 with 4Gb ok, but the rest?! not OK!
