Haha, just skeptical a little because they didn't show the numbers at E3 last night.

Ya mang, that interposer gonna be hot as fak.

Anyway, how do you apply thermal paste?

Yup, when using 144hz monitor the card will use UVD clock similar when u're using multiple monitors. At least that's what happened for GCN1.0.

Fakap as always especially at launch.

*throw my 290x*

That's more like it.

MSI R9-390x Gaming 8GB review by TTL.



Basically a soup up 290x.

Guru3D review - MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G OC review

From GTech, RM2,999 is Fury X. Don't know whether air or water.

Hope it's not another mistake.

Apparently HBM overclocking is currently disabled by AMD.



Which benchmark you looking at? MSI 390x is clocked at 1100/1500, at that clock it's definitely faster than a stock 970 and close to 980 and at 4K it definitely on par or slightly faster than 980 in some games.
Most of the reviews didn't provide enough info, no average boost clock for Nvidia cards, no exacts settings for the game their tested.

I haven't tested the latest official beta driver but it's pretty similar to modded win10 driver i'm currently using. That driver have much less driver overhead compare to previous 15.5 and below.

I'm waiting for HardwareCanucks too and hoping they will include average clock speed graph like they did with 960 reviews.

Wait for more reviews.

Only the memory on Fiji, not sure if it's temporary or forever though.
I'm not sure if the copper base is actually touching the memory. Cooling the HBM is abit tricky because it's stacked, i read the bottom stack can only rely on the built-in micro bump passive cooling.

Depend on games imo, most don't benefit that much. Some did though.

Sapphire R9-390x Tri-X review from HardwareCanucks out. Only 1440p and 4K though.

I have no idea how this card clocked at 1050mhz can be on par or better than 980 in many games. Is it possible to disable GPU boost on 980?

Interesting, although HIS 290x VDDC is identical but power consumption is much lower. Those extra 4GB use so much more power or the 390x chip they got leaked like a baby??


No chance against aftermarket 980 that can boost so much.

I did comment after that.

1. There's adapter for that, will be release later this year though.

2. 8Pack claimed you can easily overclock the card 10% over stock without voltage adjustment and sometime reach 1200mhz.

3. May i ask what software did the reviewer use? CCC have no voltage adjustment, MSI Afterburner is not compatible with Fury X yet. There's a concern about overvolting though since it can affect the interposer and HBM temperature as well.

4. It will be limited but i doubt they only have 30k for the launch.

6. No the tessellation performance is not specific to R9-300.

Read about that but it need the monitor to support it too? I have no idea about these stuffs.


Yeah that is pretty good overclock and i reckon pretty good performance gain too if overclock performance scale like Hawaii/Tahiti.

AMD and Unwinder.. like oil and water imo.

What if the issues is not about rads availability but HBM/DIE. I still not sure whether TSMC produced Fiji die or GloFo.

With GST?

Cool, now i only need to trick someone to buy my card for RM1k.

Same GPU bro, just YOLO overclock your 7770.

No need to spam his box, he will give your when he's not busy.
