Watercooled Polaris 10 with 390 performance for $400?

[SteveGrabowski0]

Is this some kind of sick joke? From an XFX employee:

 

 

 

[sof006]

Doesn't have a clue what he's on about.

 

No reason for AMD to release a product that already performs the same as their previous products. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot.

[M4st4M1nd]

Wouldn't surprise me if true. Polaris 10 is supposed to be mid-range, Vega will destroy it...

Man I hope this is really just AMD playing possum.

XFX is shite tho tbf.

[PlayStation 2]

Please tell me that he doesn't know what he's talking about.

If they actually do know the relative performance of Polaris 10 and its price, I'm probably not gonna care about Polaris and Vega.

XFX is prolly just salty as fuck as they are probably getting brickwalled by AMD this time around. Last year, XFX and Powercolor invited people to closed rooms and spoiled AMDs launch event of the 300 series right before computex. I think this pissed off AMD more then just a little bit. So i bet AMD isnt sharing more info then they need to with XFX with time around.

They were "banned" from OcUK for a few years as well, due to their quality being sub-par and having terrible/non-existent customer support.

Also this image was just "leaked". If it matches the 980, I expect the 480X to be around FuryX performance hopefully. That should mean the 490 and 490X are significantly faster than a Titan X/1080 ( one can hope ).

Not long now until AMD hopefully show something real at Computex in a few hours.

You all can rest easy and be assured that Polaris 10 will perform better than a 390. No tech company releases a product that performs worse and costs more then a last gen product. And given that Polaris 10 is targeting a $300 price point and the 390 is about $300-310 right now, I'm sure you can see what follows.

[SurvivorNVL]

Man, if this is true - nVidia got a home run on AMD.

5.5 TFLOPS is right in between R9 390 and R9 390x performance. And that's the X model of the card.

That is not the X model. It clearly says RX 480.

Also, TFLOPS comparisons don't really translate well to real world performance comparisons... Though they are a decent general guide.

nevermind

290 to 390. 290x to 390x.

 

I do agree though, I doubt it'll happen again.

missed that and I edited my post

I was talking about the bottom right of the shot, it's clearly cut

[Mr.Meerkat]

Stop speculating and just wait. Ignore all other sources unless it's actually from AMD. 

[Coaxialgamer]

I'm sick and tired of speculating on polaris 10's performance. But I won't be ale to upgrade before next year anyway 

[Trixanity]

Dios mio... How unprofessional can one be? 

 

"hey guys, I'm a hardware engineer. Let me do some dodgy market research because we don't have a marketing department"

 

Jesus. No wonder they are banned from touching anything that's even remotely secret.

The second letter in the name is X. They shifted the X from the back to the front of the name.

Quoting the word of someone from an AIB manufacturer is hardly speculation.

Are you certain that that is how it is going to work?
So the non X version will just be R 480?

I should say it looks like they just moved the X to the front. I imagine the cut down card will be R9 480.

 ooh feisty lil thang!!

Still, it's like saying you should trust the word from NCIX or newegg...no, not the actual company, shouldn't trust their word. Just wait till it's released.
