Quick Question about AMD Cards

[Sir Asvald]

I just want clarify, so the 7950 is the R9 280, and the R9 280 is the R9 380? Or I am messing it up?

[Shoob]

7950 = 280

7970 = 280x

380 = Overclocked 285

[Memories4K]

R9 285 is the 380.

7950 is the 280.

[iiNNeX]

Well they are not identical but more or less yeah.

[Sir Asvald]

7950 = 280

7970 = 280x

380 = Overclocked 285

 

 

R9 285 is the 380.

7950 is the 280.

okay. Would the R9 380 be better than my Sapphire 7950? 

[minibois]

okay. Would the R9 380 be better than my Sapphire 7950? 

Maybe like very very slightly, but not smething that makes the upgrade worth it

It's not worth changing to a 380. A meaningful update will be a R9 290 or 390.

Okay. Thanks. I'll look into the 290/390. Thanks for the help guys.

[App4that]

If you're on a budget get a used 290. If you can find a Vaporx it will perform very close to a 390.

Honestly, i'd urge you to look at the FURY line-up even.

Those are 500 bucks......aka 2x the cheapest 390 I've seen and 2.5+ times a used 290

I suggest going to the 200 series of the r9s because the 300 series is just an overclocked version and much expensive, you can always just overclock your 200s to save few bucks

The 300 series is NOT an overclocked 200 series card, the misinformation needs to die. The 200 and 300 series cards can perform similarly, but so can the 390 and 970, is the 390 and 970 the same card?

well you are talking about different manufacturers

[App4that]

well you are talking about different manufacturers

So everyone selling the 390 uses the same board?

 

The 200 series and 300 series have more differences than similarities. I have booth cards.

then be happy you have both of them

280 did not make it to the 300 series...
