PowerColor releases the R9 390x2 Dual GPU

OAcesync

 

 

TUL Corporation, a leading and innovative manufacturer of AMD graphic cards since 1997, has proudly announced a new and most powerful graphics card in the world among AMD Radeon R9 390 series. The PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 is packed with dual GRENADA core, designed to tackle the most demanding high end gaming titles on the market. It utilizes 16 GB of GDDR5 memory with a core clock speed at 1000 MHz, and 1350 MHz for memory clock speed which is connected via a new high speed 1024-bit (512-bit x2) memory interface.

PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 is built with carefully-designed Platinum Power Kit and ultra-efficient thermal design. It consists of massive 15-phase power delivery, PowerIRstage, Super Cap and Ferrite Core Choke that provides the stability and reliability for such high-end graphics solution. To support maximum performance and to qualify for the Devil 13 cooling system, 3 Double Blades Fans are attached on top of the enormous surface of aluminum fins heatsink connected with total of 10 pieces of heat pipes and 2 pieces of large die-cast panels. This superb cooling solution achieves a perfect balance between thermal solution and noise reduction. The PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 has the LED backlighting that glows a bright red color, pulsating slowly on the Devil 13 logo.

 

 

The Dual BIOS button design allows gamers to pursuit extreme performance in the easiest way to control. Four units of 8 pin PCI-E power connector draws more power offering constant and stable power input. What's more, to honor Devil 13 users, we have included the top-notch gaming mouse, the Razer Ouroboros, as a free gift inside the box. Why? Simply because we strongly believe our Devil 13 users deserves to have the best of the best. 

The PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 graphics card supports for AMD LiquidVR, GCN Architecture, Mantle, Exploit DirectX© 12, AMD CorssFire, Virtual Super Resolution, HD3D technology, Frame Rate Target Control, and AMD FreeSync technologies. Once more, the Devil 13 has risen from Hell and will once again dominate the extreme gaming world with ease.

My questions are as follows:

 

1. Why not Furys? Or even 390Xes?

2. Is the cooler as bad/good as the last one?

3. Who exactly is going to buy it?

 

Cool to see it, but I wouldn't buy it if I had the dough.

Yeah I hate how they say double the Vram when even though it technically it doesn't actually stack so people who don't know much about crossfire or SLI will actually think it's twice the Vram. And I hope they can keep the temps please able

4k Benchmarks may be interesting, yeah it's a dual GPU but still..

Not really, the 295x2 had 4GB VRAM per GPU and a CLC, this card has 8GB VRAM per GPU and a triple slot heatsink. This also uses Grenada cores instead of Hawaii (same chips anyways, but with some performance tweaks.) That and this one can actually go without drawing more power through it's PEG connectors than standards dictate.

I have owned several dual gpu cards over the past decade and prefer them to single gpus. However with new 16nm gpus coming down the pipe. I couldn't recommend to any of my friends to buy this. It's freaking huge. But it would kick ass tho

Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything.

"Mantle, Exploit DirectX© 12, AMD CorssFire, Virtual Super Resolution"

What is a Corssfire.

 

Corssfire is like Crossfire, but specially turned to only these cards. it is 10% faster.

295x2 draws a lot of power, get very hot but its watercooled... and to this day its  on the same level as a titan X while being a lot cheaper and around same price as a 980ti....

Needs a double slot bracket and waterblocks available.

 

Oh, does it run within ATX power draw spec?

Four 8-pin power connectors, means it has about 675W headroom with the PCI-E slot factored in. Should be fine.

Oh, they're using 390s instead of the 390Xs? This might be alright...

1. That's officially announced (Though knowing AMD they will probably re-announce officially) It will basically be a 295x type card but sporting dual fiji gpus, likely the nano version

2. That looks huge yet not huge enough to cool 2 rather hot chips on just air, so probably as bad I wouldn't recommend it

3. No one should, see 1.

Oh, so unlike AMD they're being smart about their cards.. That's sad when PowerColor knows more about electricity than AMD..

I know of the Fury X2 already, though I guess AMD's got some stuff going on with the board partners so they don't do exactly that. The old version of this card was a 290X dual core, and it looks like the same cooler. From everything I saw, it was doing 90C+. As for 3, I agree, but we both know someone will be stupid weird? enough to buy one.

unlike you, AMD knows A LOT about electricity...

 

Because your whole "ATX standard" is bullshit. It is the minimum manufacturers must meet to have their products sold. It is NOT THEIR MAXIMUM.

 

Infact, if you even knew how to do conductivity math, you would know EACH 8pin is able to handle nearly 300W of power, WITHOUT breaching their thermal limit of 70C

Explain the many reported cases of power supply cables melting or catching on fire. Sorry, but the limit is the limit, you aren't supposed to go over it,

Two furys will probably come, the cooler is almost identical. but it will run cooler. People who want to have a cheaper dual gpu card

Explain the many reported cases of power supply cables melting or catching on fire. Sorry, but the limit is the limit, you aren't supposed to go over it,

 

1 - Connectors not seated properly

2 - damaged or otherwise corrupted cables

3 - old cables (insulation gets crispy and will shatter if it is heated and cooled often)

4 - poor quality cables (yes they exist. Some manufacturers supply thinner copper wire then others. The known PSU brands are generally safe. But custom cables from other brands may not be)

5 - poor case airflow. Cables need cooling, even if within the limits

6 - irregular load. Electricity takes the path of least resistance. If one pin has jumped out of its holder in the connector, or if one wire is hotter then the rest due to being in contact with something, then electricity will move to the other wires instead.

7 - THEY OVERCLOCKED THE CARD

 

 

now... you are arguing with an electrician... cables are sort of my field of work. Calculating their capacity is the basis for my work... All electrical conductivity calculations, even factoring in these cables being bundled with 40 others, still place these wires used for the 295x2, within the operating limit of how much that card draws from the PSU....

 

As for your precious ATX standard. There is no limit..

the 20 amp pr rail limit was removed in 2007. And has NEVER been reintroduced. Manufacturers still stick to 20amp in general, as a rule of thumb. But there is no laws or standards stating THEY CANNOT.

This is why corsair, through its Corsair Link, allow you to increase your limit per port to the theoretical maximum THEIR cables can handle, which is 40 amps
