Will 370X and 380X be rebrands?

[GoodN1ght]

If the 270(X) or 280(X) are rebranded again by the end of the 300 series's cycle those gpus would have been current products for about five years... That would bother me more than them not having vsr or TrueAudio

 

Well if would be what... a 360? I mean its so low end it's not like there's many nice things that happen for lower end cards anyway.

Yea, I looked that up and I was doing so just to make sure the 760 wasn't a rebranded 670. The 760 ti though was REALLY close to performing almost exactly like the 670.

 

Looking at this page here is so funny.

The GTX 760 is MUCH better than the 750 but is much older. I wonder why they even bothered with the 750 at all.

the 750ti was a test of the water i assume with maxwell, havent seent he 760ti and if its true that its oem only thats a shame as it would of been a good competitor to the r9-280 or r-9 285, the 760 certainly wasnt.

bear in mind that no x60 card from nvidia has ever been half of the flagship and as such has allways been a good mid end choice for the masses, the 260 had 192 (and later sp216) cores vs the 280 (and 285's) 240 cores, the gtx460=336 cores(and later 384), gtx480=480 cores

then nvidia comes out with the 960 which for the first time is half of the flagship 980 with 1024 cores vs 2048.

not only that but the 750ti has 640cores, 40tmu's and 16 rops, now tell me there wont be a 960ti with 1280cores,80tmu's, 32 rops on a 256bit bus with likely a single 8 pin.. B) 

if we were to do that again assuming they are scalable means a (4x750ti/2x960ti) gpu would come in at 2560 cores, 160tmu and 64 rops with a 384bit bus, kinda like my 290 but maxwell with a different bus, maybe a cut down gm200 with a 240w TDP.

i talked about this on the 980 launch and everyone proclaimed that 980 would be the flagship as there was no better die, yeah, look how that worked out, it got blown out the water by 50%.

If you're going to deliberately ignore me explicitly calling out Nvidia for rebranding the 680 as the 770 in my first post in this thread just to try and make it look like my complaint is senseless fanboyism, then that says more about you than it does me tbh.

 

Now that you bring up AMD, though, have they released an FX CPU in the last year or so that wasn't an overclocked re-release of something else? How many new GPUs did the 200 series actually have? 290X, 290, 285 (though about a year late)... then... I'm at a loss to think of another one.

 

People did swap out their 7970 for a 280X. They spent about £200 on a 75 MHz stock overclock. Money well spent.

you forgot 265

That's even worse, imo, since the very low end usually has strict power considerations. Whether they be trying to cheap out on a power supply as much as is safe, or if they're looking for something to shove in their prebuilt, which often have a barely 300W supply. These people much less do not as cannot use outdated higher end parts, they actually need something current.

So I did, I thought there was one

Yeah I guess that makes sense. Tho really nobody should ever cheap out on a PSU that always backfires.

What will this do for current 980 owners besides get them mad?

I've heard rumours that the 370, 380 will just be rebrands of the older gpu (280X=290X 270X=285). Can anyone confirm if this will be true?

Amd are going to be ensuring that their entire lineup is the latest gcn architecture, so 290 becoming 380 is more than likely, but with HBM memory If their silicon refinement efforts are to be worth it. The 280 is dead because it's old gcn and although it's got asynchronous shaders to handle dx12, the rest of AMDs newer features aren't supported, so its bye bye Tahiti. The 285x is unreleased and I would expect the 370x to be 384bit and 3gb. Making the 380 still 4 or 8GB and the 390 definitely 8GB, because amd have never released a flagship with less or equal ram compared to Nvidia.

Thanks I'm curious to know how the knew HBM will affect the rebrands in benchmarks
