For those who has purchased R9 280x earlier including myself
http://www.guru3d.com/news_story/amd_to_up...phics_card.html AMDs R9 280X might still be using the oritinal 7970 GHZ edition XT2 Tahiti GPU and replace it with Tahiti XTL next month. Apparantly the Tahiti XTL GPU was not ready for the launch and all current Radeon R9 280X graphics cards ended up with the Tahiti XT2 GPU instead. Various sources confirm that AMD will do a, so called, "running change", where there will be no announcements and no name change for the new GPU and the only way you would be able to tell which GPU is behind the R9 280X is by its BIOS version. Of course, nothing is carved in stone as AMD can simply decide to launch a different named graphics cards with Tahiti XTL chip but currently the plan is to do a running change. Apparently, Tahiti XTL should have a lower power consumption and thus should be easier to cool. We will surely keep an eye out and our ear close to the ground in order to spot the new GPU in November. If the source of news is true, then this would be unfair for those who purchased R9 280x and could be a misselling as some GPU manufacturer claimed that they are selling R9 280x with Tahiti XTL chipset. I have actually contacted Sapphire to see what's their view on this and to be updated further. Anyone can verify this and your views? This post has been edited by RaePyng: Oct 29 2013, 04:06 PM |

QUOTE Radeon R9 290 (non-X) Launch Pushed Back a Week Launch of AMD's Radeon R9 290 (non-X) is reportedly pushed back by a week, to Tuesday, November 5, 2013. The card was expected to launch on October 31, 2013. The reason for this delay? AMD reportedly developed a new driver that significantly improves performance on the R9 290. AMD pushed this driver onto reviewers at the last minute, and asked them to re-bench their R9 290 samples from scratch, extending their NDA till the 5th. The driver reportedly makes the R9 290 extremely competitive with GeForce GTX 780. A side-effect of that would be that the recently launched Radeon R9 290X could be rendered unattractive. It remains to be seen if the driver also proportionately improves performance on the R9 290X, and how AMD ends up pricing the R9 290. Radeon R9 290 (non-X) Launch Pushed Back a Week I just hope the price will be really attractive here in Msia. |
