Speculations on how the 390x will perform against the TitanX?

[Leftover]

Just currious to know what people that actually know about this stuff think on the topic

[Kermit]

Guessing 390x will have at least 6 gigs of vram but will be much cheaper than stuff like titan black (also 6 gigs).

 

Titan X will tear it a new butthole.

[EarthboundHero]

It will have better price to performance.

[StareX]

Oh yeah.. R9 390x will surely be better than a Titan X or same as.

[wng_kingsley7]

As long as it performs lets say give or take 50% better than the R9 290X hopefully it'll give the GTX 980 & Titan X a run for it's money. Fingers crossed ofc under a $1000 but probably spec'd in the range of $600-700 (or within the same price bracket as the 980) compared to GTX 980. If it's only reference cooler it'd better be worth it.

I think was it 780 that performed extremely well over the 680 which was a really impressive from nvidia.

[Unlikelyjoker]

4/8Gb

Same or slightly worse than the Titan X

699/799Price-tag

[Implodinghaze]

hopefully it runs better than a titanX, so nvidia has a run for its money and we start having a gpu price war. I would say no matter where it lies, in terms of performance, AMD will probably have the cheaper card. 

[ANN1H1L1ST]

In my opinion: AMD will make a cheaper card, because they have to in order to compete. It will out perform a 980, but will not out perform the Titan X. The 980 will, however, be the better overclocker and use less power. It will carry a $699-$799 price tag due to the cost of new tech (HBM) and more VRAM (6-8GB) Then Nvidia will release a special edition 980 with 6GB of VRAM that is faster then the 390X and undercut the 390X's price forcing AMD to lower the 390X's cost. 

 

I agree with this that was posted on another forum: 

 

AMD is trying to fight back with Nvidia not with architectural advancements as much as process manufacturing advantages(Supposedly fd soi > HPM) , water cooling and hbm. This isn't as impressive in my opinion because it is simply less of an R and D focused and more about having the right partners to give you access to these technologies. Plus it seems more like a brute force method that leaves way less head room in the future. I.e Nvidia will get these technologies eventually(get those improvements) and basically it will all be down to architecture again.

 

Even if AMD comes out as fast as rumored(which is highly suspect considering the timing of the leaks/i.e damage control as far as titan x reviews), most people that have purchased titan x will probably have very little to regret if they can afford 200 dollars. Theres a good chance nvidia will still have the crown when overclocking is taken into account(1550mhz on stock air cooling) and AMD isn't going to price their card that low considering it has a water cooler and very expensive memory incorporated into the chip. Plus the large die size itself.

 

You can't brag or presume on 390x laurels until it is released because considering how much of a financial beatdown maxwell has given AMD, if AMD has something, they should have released it by now and these rumors seem like a calculated effort on AMD's part to pull off anti marketing on Nvidia(crap on the competition rather than promote your new products). A move they seem to have taken alot since Roy Taylor went aboard AMD.

I will wait an see. For right now I am more than set on with my hardware. If AMD really brings something revolutionary to the table this time, I will surely buy the card and benchmark it aginst the Titan X. But even so, I doubt that I will take the Titan X 2way SLI out of my highend machine, simply because I have a 4K G-Sync monitor.

 

That statement of that guy is above isn´t a bad one. AMD promised in the past too many times too much. And always just fought it out over pricing. Let´s hope that this changes a bit this time. But it is also a matter of fact that many people that buy AMD want to have highend but aren´t able or not willing to pay the price for highend stuff. That problem with this philosophy is just, that without R&D and enough margin on a product, a company can´t make enough profit to invest more.

[GoodN1ght]

I don't see how it would benefit amd to leak false benchmarks. How bad would it kill them if they cant achieve them? 

[Leftover]

You are probably right although I'd love to see AMD bring out some really high end stuff so that the end consumer can get better cheaper cards from both AMD and Nvidia

[ErickS89]

Here is what I think is going to happen.

- It'll come under $700

- At leaste 6-8GB Vram

- 512-bit bus

 

I think it'll perform similarly but not beat the Titan X, the 395x2 or whatever their dual gpu card might though since the 295x2 speed wise is faster and has a few more fps but that's a dual gpu card. 

The Titan X will still remain the best card you can get unless we're all wrong and AMD rips a new reality.   If that's the case I'll sell my Titan X(s) and buy multiple 390x's but also taking a ram hit since I don't think it'll come with 12gb but who knows maybe AMD will slap 12gb of that thing but it might then come closer to the 8-900 dollar price point. 

 

The 390x at the end of the day will be better than the 980 but will not beat down the Titan X.

 

I really want AMD to come out and kick Nvidia's arse but we know that won't happen, history tells us so...  If I'm wrong god can stike the tree across my yard down into the house to the right!

[Doughnutnator]

We should expect high power cosumption if they deliver a high OpenCL and Gaming performance chip again like Hwaii.

I think that the computing performance that AMD cards have is ignored. They're "efficient" if we consider the computing and gaming power they offer.

Maybe their next FirePro or even the 390x cards offer nice Double Point performance, it seems that Nvidia failed with the Titan X in that point

[nhatduy1611]

It will be cheaper and slower then the titan x  and faster then the 980 most likely. I must have more then 4gb of vram and most likely be around $800. Amd card are following the trend of being slighly worse then their nvdia equivalence but cheaper.

Guessing 390x will have at least 6 gigs of vram but will be much cheaper than stuff like titan black (also 6 gigs).

390X will probably be 4GB or 8GB, it's using HBM with a 4096-bit bus supposedly.

lol a 4k bus

cant wait for the thousand dollar AMD cards to finally hit the shelves

 

and ill sit there and cry in my cardboard box
