This guy duno anything about the card.

There's a new rumor about AMD didn't give the Fury X sample to major reviewers prior to unveiling in 3 days. This drama is getting out of control.

My speculation on this: Fury X *might not* be as good as TTX. Only Lisa Su knows what fury X is capable of...

Haha that escaletes quickly

Inb4 performs as beast a Titan X on workstation performance but gaming performance like R7 240.

better, cause firepro profit margins always higher than radeon.......
and when you have such a small form factor Firepro GPU........I can only imagine how many you can fit in the next Cray-Jaguar Upgrade

AMD sure waiting last minute for the card details, want it to be a surprise to all the AMD fans .

3DMark13 comparison between R9-290 XFX R9-390 Double D vs EVGA GTX970 ACX2.0+ by LTT forum member Suika.

Added on Gonna be time to take it back, I think Microsoft locked the PS4 on purpose.
I do have benchmarks up on OP, but here's them on another page for those two lazy to skip back forward. Benchmarks are basically the 290 vs. 970, there really isn't a performance gain in the 390. What a shame. I'm impressed with the cooler, at least.

We'll start with standard Fire Strike, nothing special. Just 1080p goodness.


Nobody should be surprised, but I am. The R9 390 is very close to the GTX 970, the combined score is even higher but graphics score is fairly lower. The actual FPS differences are not significant, but what I'm wondering is; What about driver updates? The 390 isn't validated on 3DMark because of the driver, so maybe there are still optimizations to be made. It would be interesting to see at least. OK, moving on.

Fire Strike Extreme. Maybe kicking up the resolution will favor the R9 390's extra VRAM and bus width?


The R9 390 is falling behind by a few FPS, but is somehow doing better in physics. I mean, I didn't overclock the 4790k between runs, but twice now it's had a better physics score. I dunno, weird.
 
Let's kick it up a notch; 4K. Maybe this is where we can see the 390 pull ahead.


The FPS differences are marginal now, what I really want to see is crossfire versus SLI now, especially on 4K. Maybe that's where we could see the advantage in RAM and where the 390 might win. Maybe we'll see the 390 win on driver updates. I don't know. It'll be neat to see, though.
 
Now the interesting thing for me was thermals and audio levels. With the EVGA GTX 970 SSC, I can hear the fans ramp up during benchmarks, but the XFX R9 390 DD has remained consistent in each test. Not dead silent, but still very quiet in comparison to the 970 ramping up. I don't have any professional equipment to test it, but I can say that, while the 390's fans run all the time, they seem quieter than the 970's on load. Oh, and thermals. Interesting stuff.
 
EVGA GTX 970 ACX2.0+
Max Temp in FurMark: 79C
 
XFX R9 390 DD
Max Temp in FurMark: 71C
 
Make of that what you will, but don't forget that the 970 has 0db mode, and FurMark is not a realistic gaming load. Real GPU temperatures are lower.

Oh okay, I guess it is a sound testing methodology to compare a 11% overclocked GTX 970 against a stock speed R9 390...

So a 11% overclocked GTX 970 is ~7% faster than stock R9 390. ok

well, that's the card he currently using.

Haha. Interesting benchmark there.

oh Best buy USA have on sale.. with extra 30$ premium price... they should come malaysia gpu sell for RM2K(530usd) ? so 150usd mark up price super dupe premium.. lolx

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-300-series-sale-bestbuy/

here vid of the guy who upload vid of his r9 390x note that he use driver come with gpu not latest driver 15.5

Actually the driver he used is newer in term of packaging compare to 15.5 but without Witcher 3 and pCars improvement.

maybe r9 3xx design for dx12... lolx

well at least ppl using r9 290 series will not miss out on driver improvement/optimize on coming month driver update.. as r9 390 is hawai re branded..

look at the R9 390x and R9 390 also not attractive.
fury maybe has limited chips so the price may not good.

The time has come!

So many benchies going around already.

pfft... too late i buy car... x if AMD Fury X is 50% faster GTX Titan X than i buy your gpu.. or i wait when ppl selling second hand for rm900...

benchies rebrand card how about no ? Give us fury already seriously

It's not uncommon la, HD 7xxx series to R9 2xx series it was only the R9 290X and R9 290 that are new stuff while R9 280X are previous generations renamed.
