AMD acknowledges 390 series crashes, looking into it

[ivan134]

 

 

 

The Fury is £460. That's approaching 780 Ti territory

 

 

 

 

290X = £400

390X = £350

 

Is that all the money you expect to save after a product has been out for nearly two years? £50?

 

I'm sorry for you tax, exchange rate of whatever made you guys get the short end of the stick

 

290x = $549

390x = $429

 

Even at your 50 pound difference, you get a 1060 mHz core with 8 GB of VRAM over 947 mHz and 4GB.

Is that the RRP or the shortage price? Either way, I guess you can call it a matter of opinion. From my perspective, It's the prices of the tiers that went up.

 

Also, we haven't seen the Nano yet, so who knows what that might change?

[ivan134]

Well, that's actually true based on pricing at the time of the 300-series release. That would count as a price hike. However, launch pricing is what's relevant in this specific conversation.

Even if we were using sale prices, they still would not. Find me a 1050 mHz 290 with 8 GB of RAM.

Whatever tax applies also applied last time -- they cancel out.

Even for the usual bickering this thread is too toxic, should be closed but I'm not reporting it since I'll be labelled a Fanboy if I do.

[spartaman64]

It's not bias to call the 300 series rebrands. They are rebrands.

 

Nvidia aren't "looking into" their driver issues, either. They have released hotfixes that resolve their crashes. It took them long enough, but they did it a month ago.

they are not really rebrands first of all the r9 390 has a r9 290 core and it performs better than a r9 290x and better than the gtx 970 and it also has lower power consumption 

[spartaman64]

Yeah, waht was AMD thinking with these rebrands? They should have wished for a full new lineup with a new architecture from the Silicon Fairy!

i dont see any problem with it the r9 390 performs better than a gtx 970 for the same price and it has 8GB of ram so a tremendously better value. also nvidia had crashing issues as well when those cards first released

[spartaman64]

i have gtx 770 which is truly a rebrand it has the same power consumption core count etc of the 680 so why should it matter if the cards deliver a good value

It has lower power consumption than a 970? On what planet?

than the r9 290 and 290x sorry bad formatting

[flibberdipper]

I think I'm on 15.7 with no crashes on my 7950. OLD SHIT FOR THE WIN!!!

[othertomperson]

than the r9 290 and 290x sorry bad formatting

 

Ahh ok. Well it's overclocked, that's the only reason it performs better than the 970. Most 970s overclock well enough that the 390 only has the edge at stock speeds.

im pretty sure it wins even at overclocked speeds 

[gilang01]

sigh... this has been debated for sooo long.

 

Jays 970 is a bad overclocker. sub par. 

 

Compare it with mine, MSI's GTX 970 gaming (same brand as the 390)

 

 

it's slightly faster than a 390 @1200MHz

He overclocked the 970 to 1442....

[gilang01]

He overclocked the 970 to 1442....

1442 is baaad for a 970 lol hahaha. if you want to compare gpus, at least use the same manufacturer  

 

all 970 gaming I've had seen can reach 1500+ mhz

[gilang01]

He overclocked the 970 to 1442....

oh yeah i forgot, my ingame/benchmark speeds are 1554 mhz

[bogus]

So by your logic, you should only compare the 390 with the best of the best cherry picked 970 card?

The 390 doesn't matter, it can be a random card... but the 970 nope...

This community is getting worst by the day, I feel sorry for linus for this place is becoming with high levels of toxic fanboyism.

I compared MSI's very own 390 vs MSI's 970, both overclocked. How's that bad?

Not sure if your're agreeing with me, or if your sarcasm detector needs to be re-calibrated.

My MSI 970 isn't 100% stable at more than ~1475MHz.

you're the first one then  

have you tried tweaking the voltage?

[Agent181]

#CrashGate Lol

GJ AMD

Son of a batch not another gate something [emoji25]

[Techhog]

Yeah. Some games and 3DMark 11 just don't like more. 

[tomas710]

yes you are wrong because the data is composed of so-called anecdotal cards that were RMAd - maybe it's a joke and 280X actually doesn't have any issues at all

this is a joke too, yes?

 

as for nVidia, there was a topic opened for that exact purpose, you're very free to post there

Yes, the Nasdaq is a joke, look at the Dow Jones or the S&P500. Talking about crashes, wasnt it funny when the nasdaq crashed...twice. Besides a single day of trading on one stock market index is as important as a youtube comment, and a quarterly earning result can't be blamed on one single factor, so, let's keep stocks out of this? I mean, anything you have ever disliked about a product was decided by those fucking people, they are the hidden enemy that makes intel step back from a breakthrough, prevent AMD to coming up with a new arquitecture in a timely fashion and make Nvidia fucking mislead their customers on specs, which i would hope someone would be in jail for...
