They're new, but they're also tried and true. For all intents and purposes, the R9 280X is the 7970 GHz edition, the R9 270X is a slightly faster 7870 GHz Edition, the R7 260X is a 7790 that features True Audio and some more RAM, and the R7 250 is a good value if you want a gaming card and you've only got a few bucks to spend.

 

The big story here is really Mantle, and we'll be waiting until at least December to see the first commercially shipping product that implements it (BF4) so stay tuned, folks.

 

Yeah I know none of the product links work, but what can I do? I gotta link it somewhere or people will complain, so I might as well link to something that will at some point lead somewhere tongue.png

This part I think is what people talking about when they say they don't like the macro shots.

You are talking about something, the triangle under a fan to direct airflow, and it is a macro shot and we have no idea what you are talking about.

 

I like the video but that is annoying to see.

What about the R9 290X?

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!

Was able to sneakily watch the videos already before you'd removed them from this post :D Wish these cards were compatible in my hackintosh :(

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.

Sold on either xfx 280x or sapphire vapor-x 280x. Like both designs, but the sapphire has a backplate.

I'm a little sad that it's just a 7870 and not a 7870XT, i wanted that cooler. looks like i'll be getting a 7870XT instead of a 270X then.

After watching the video on R9-280X...... Did they really release a card that is the same or marginally better than a 770, with 1GB more VRAM for almost $100 less? Well dang, time to rework my planned build.  :P

I think AMD screwed up. They should have put a cooler similar to the one on the 7990 on the new R9 290X. 95 degrees with the stock clock is just too much. They say it's ok to run at that temp but it gives no headroom for OCing.

AMD must be praying that the 780 price drop is not that big because of the 780ti.

It would be nice to know the frequencies of both GPUs (780/290X) when you compare them @ MAX OC, otherwise the results are meaningless (at least for me).

According to Pcper, the GPU clocks down 150 MHZ after about 5 minutes of gameplay due to temperature constraints.

So overclocking the card is defeating the purpose.

Setting the card to Uber mode still doesn't dissipate enough heat to avoid this.
