Better hold your horses first and see if any users feedback on any fan rattle issue, if they do exist. tongue.gif The fans used and heatsink construction looks rather similar to the Tri-X, which I have no confidence at all now, sadly. sad.gif

Considering my Vapor-X card has been going quite nicely... I think I'm fine with that. tongue.gif

Tahiti based Vapor-X models are so much different and with significantly stronger construction. Good luck to you if you're planning to get one. biggrin.gif

Will wait first... wait until AMD and nVidia unleashes their future products... brows.gif

BTW the Vapor-X shroud on my card looks flimsy... laugh.gif sweat.gif

Performance, no. But overclocking-wise, yes. icon_idea.gif

Anyone here who encountered BSOD on Catalyst 14.4? My PC encountered a BSOD when watching Youtube over HTML5... rclxub.gif shocking.gif

A dump file analysis found out that atikmdag.sys was the culprit, and further search found that I'm not the only one who have this problem... sweat.gif

what is the diferrent of x at the behind of the card name?
SAPPHIRE R9 280 3GB D5 DUAL-X OC
SAPPHIRE R9 280X 3GB D5 DUAL-X OC

Different performance tiers, with the R9 280X is a rebrand of the older HD7970 GHz and the R9 280 is a rebrand of the older HD7950 Boost. The R9 280X would be faster than its non-X variants. icon_idea.gif

I think AMD haven't officially released the r9 285 specs at the time of my post  laugh.gif

Trying to compete with the MSI GTX760 Gaming ITX? hmm.gif

It's quite small and I would think MSI GTX760 Gaming ITX would be slaughtered in terms of performance  laugh.gif

Estimated performance? Judging from the performance numbers it looks like it could replace the HD7970 (non-GHz)... hmm.gif

Because I think AMD put it on GTX770's segment and not GTX760.

The fact that it has ITX form factor made this a very interesting GPU. It's probably very power efficient like maxwell.

Almost as small as the GTX760 Gaming ITX, and performs better than the GTX760? brows.gif

And Sapphire are going to release a OC edition of it..how big is the OC?Below. biggrin.gif

rclxub.gif Why would they want to release an overclocked version with so little increment in clock speeds? rclxub.gif

You can just manually overclock the non-OC variant via MSI Afterburner/Sapphire Trixx.... icon_idea.gif

Apparently 285 use a new form of compression algorithm that make it have higher memory bandwidth efficiency compare to Tahiti with 384-bit memory.

Tessellation performance also improved significantly.

Bioshock Infinite and Thief benefit the most from these 2 improvement so far.

Tonga die is also denser compare to Tahiti albeit similar core counts.

Not just the R9 285 comes with a new form of color compression, the R9 285 looks like it has some serious tessellation performance... shocking.gif

Just look at AC4: Black Flag benchmarks by Tom's Hardware:

Assassin's Creed IV delivers the big surprise in our benchmark suite, with the Radeon R9 285 surpassing the high-end Radeon R9 280X. We took this benchmark multiple times to make sure what we we're seeing isn't a glitch. Assassin's Creed IV is known to make heavy use of tessellation, and we can conclude that the extra geometry units in the new Tonga GPU are earning their pay when it comes to this visually demanding title. As for frame time variance, there's very little to report with exemplary low lag across all the cards we tested.


It is an interesting card indeed, and I'm looking forward to see how this card improves with newer drivers... hmm.gif

hmm.gif R9 390X coming in 1H 2015? shocking.gif

I wonder AMD has anything under their sleeves... brows.gif

BTW, a comment from WCCFTech caught my attention:

QUOTE
Winston Churchill has traditionally been linked to various stamps published for many of UK's former territory islands, which interestingly enough, have been used as AMD's code names for their architectures in the past.

Pitcairn, Malta, Cayman, etc.

Fiji happens to be one of them

Coincidence?

actually i over estimate the power of the A10 8750K , i saw a guy in youtube playing medium settings for bf4 avg fps of 30 , that is why i was intrigue by it , but now i`ve made up my mind already , NO MORE (i mean seriously !) APUs  !!

APUs are fine, though the problem is poor execution and pricing... sweat.gif

This probably the rumored card that is bigger than Hawaii and will use the hybrid cooler. So heat and power consumption probably off the chart. tongue.gif

R9 295X? hmm.gif

Anyway, it's still too early to determine whether the R9 300 series is going to be a heat/power monster like the 290/290X... Having a hybrid cooler doesn't mean it's going to gobble up massive power and puts out lots of heat. tongue.gif
The purported pictures of the 'R9 390X' which has been leaked could be an elaborate fake, or it could be a very early prototype... hmm.gif
