R9 390x Release Date

[StevenGibson1994]

Hi,

 

I am wondering does anyone know when AMD will be releasing their r9 300 series cards.

Rumor has it that the new flagship will be named the R9 380X, not 390X and the hope is for a release at the end of Q2 2015.

the 380x isn't the flagship or a new card. its most likely to be a slightly faster 290x. the 390x has already had some specs leaked as well as apparent pictures of its water cooled cooler.

It's most likely that the 380X (and 380) will just be the equivalent of the 200 series, then there will be the 390(X) as a new GPU chip, like with the 200 series.

This^. Rumors say that the r9 380(x) are going to be rebrands of the 290(x). While the r9 370(x) will use tonga.

I can't wait I've got the money sat waiting in my account to buy one! if they don't hurry up I'll be too tempted to buy a new cpu and mobo and a nice 500gb pci ssd.. then it's back to saving for a 390x again!

Summary of what is to be expected so far:

 

390X/390 - new Fiji XT core

380X/380 - Hawaii core, rebranded 290X/290

370X/370 - likely to be fully unlocked Tonga on the 370X and rebranded 285 on the 370.

 

No official release dates on any of the 300 series cards yet.

[Mixzzz]

For some reason I think that all gpus will be new because you can't rebrand forever...

They're not. The only fully rebranded core will be Hawaii, which is only one generation old. The rest is Fiji XT (new) and Tonga/Tonga XT (semi-new). I doubt they're going to be re-using Tahiti this time.

[Splashzed]

If they come up with rebranded gpus i'm going to be disappointed, really waiting for them to release the cards!

[JustCallMeVlad]

I expect it to hit in late may for 599.99/399.99

[ErickS89]

I expect it to hit Friday, May 8th, 2015. But who honestly knows? Only AMD at this point in time.

Sorry, can you say that again? I couldn't hear you over all the people bitching the apparently amazing company and their amazing VRAM

No official release dates on any of the 300 series cards yet.

So will the rebrands use a new manufacturing process or still 28nm?

Rebrands will remain on the same node, we'll see whether Fiji will be 28nm or not.

I finally pre-ordered my few boxes of Seasons 3 & 4 and cant wait for the release date. If anyone knows any sites that have these boxes for sale please comment below.

Thanks,

Matthew.

End of Q2

 That is just rude. Keep in mind that the only thing we have only really heard rumors about the cards that are not out yet.

I think you have got the wrong thread....

Bit harsh towards amd eh?

[Najuno]

Nobody knows at this point when AMD or nVidia will make their next moves with the next highend cards. The only thing that´s likely is that as soon as one of them makes a move the other will bring a counter card very soon to the table. Could be interesting for gamers in Q2 this year.

[Briggsy]

It will probably be within few months of the Oculus Rift consumer release.

[GrantSor+1]

So only the 390(x) cards will use a new manufacturing process? So generally they will be the ones who will be a less power consuming card

Sure, but I´d prefer not see another person uses the same icon within the forum, kind of boring.
