[sander lawrence]

Do you think that the R400 series will be able to compete with the GTX 1070 and GTX 1080?

probably not, because amd is most likely targeting the sub $200 price point, where they are best

Based on rumored "information".

OP, wait for benchmarks. The fact is they are gonna be better than the current offerings. As to how much better, benchmarks will tell us. And we won't get any reliable benchmarks for a couple weeks.

True, but AMD themselves said Polaris is mainstream not high end

Irrelevant. Until we see benchmarks, we won't know how they compare to Pascal, and previous cards.

but won't they make upgrades of R9 390s?

GTX1080 already shows it can beat 2*980 in SLI:

I would doubt it. With Vega10/11 pushed ahead, it wouldn't be a good buy even if they did.

So? How is linking those benchmark results relevant, to us not yet knowing how well Polaris cards will perform?

I doubt they can compete with my calculator. RIP AMD.

AMD themselves labeled Polaris 10 as a mainstream product

Tailor went on record and said Polaris 10 will not compete with nVidia's offerings

More like I doubt they can compute....

Again, irrelevant. I'm not disputing where AMD say the cards are aimed to be. What i wanna know is what kind of fps they'll get in games, as well as how much they'll cost.

People keep asking daft questions of how well X or Y card is gonna perform, and the answer is simply that we need to wait for more benchmarks, to get a proper answer.

I should have been more clear. By mainstream I meant lower budget

[Energycore]

You give the 8-ball a gentle shake and look at its window closely.

Yes, I know they are for gaming, what I am saying is amd is targeting good performance per dollar, probably for under $200 while pascal is targeting $300+

[App4that]

We have no benchmarks worth trusting for ANY of these cards. Not the 1080 and definitely not Polaris. This is all conjecture.

By the look of things, it's not intended to; we'll see. If they release a card that can hit 390x levels of performance for under £200, I'll be tempted.
