But Titan-Z is done, rekt by 295x2 till it can't see daylight.
295x2 price is below $1000 now and at one point you can even get it for just over $700.

But i guess this card is more targeted for developer that want to optimize their game for VR. Make little sense if they targeted this for consumer market since next-gen is coming close.

AFAIK, Dual GPU price performance was never good.

IMO it would be weird if developer use this to develop for VR. The baseline is R9 290 and 970. Normally it makes more sense to develop for baseline card and this card's target market is too small for VR.

And, I think this card's release is too close to new launch already unless AMD not planning to release their nextgen cards this year.

Indeed.

Not really weird imo, if you want to optimize new game engine/development, you want to push your latest architecture which is GCN 1.2 in Tonga/Fiji and not GCN 1.1 in Hawaii.
Like i said, part of the reason AMD release this card is to push VR/Liquid VR development. Raja himself confirmed that with them partnering with Crytek, AMD will supply Radeon Pro Duo(notice the card name) to Crytek "VR First" program in Universities.

Yeah the launch is kinda late unless next gen is 2nd half of 2016 and start with mid-range card which make sense if they want to maximize yield.


Anyway seems like there will be no HBM2 with Polaris because the cost is still too high for consumer according to Raja.

buy 1st think later..sapport economy

i will buy if RM1 = USD3

$1499 for pro duo..average joe like me can only dream from far lol

ooh i usually just use ddu and never uninstall from control panel, maybe that caused the problem , yes its the latest hotfix

Time to sell both of my 380X & 390
Getting ready for Pascal's launch
Nanti Pascal keluar, surely 380/380X/390/390X price drop like hell

how much? I haz excess PCI-E slots

Pascal confirm April release?

Kennot say the price now lar, later so many people PM me
You know I sell stuff always cheap cheap

Hahahaha
Don't know, that's why I'm thinking of selling it now, before the release to avoid huge price drop from AMD

Made a mistake, what I meant earlier was to sell both of my 380x & 390 before Polaris keluar
Pascal is Nvidia LOL

sama je,
either launch will mean current gen price drop no matter what...

Damn, that means I ahve to sell my cards even earlier

The sad thing is, I won't have any card to play games with if I sell both of em, had to wait a few months before the next gen came out
Not sure to upgrade to Pascal or just wait even longer for Polaris

Is Polaris going to use GDDR5X/HBM1/HBM2 or stay with GDDR5?

Baru je start playing Just Cause 3

What if they release low-midrange card first that perform similar to your 390 but cost similar to a new 390?

You're trying to scare me ah?
Job well done.

But seriously, I'm not afraid of the price, I'm just afraid they release low to mid range card first then only release high end card afterwards

agree with you, if they release low-mid range first, will bare wait,
bout to sell my 390 oso lah like this.

From what I heard is Pascal won't be out so soon, as in you should still have at least 6 months i think.


Polaris from what I read is 2017.

From all the sources I've read that is exactly what is going to happen. First half of 2016 we will only see mid-range Polaris.


I already got rid of 3 out of 4 290s from my PC before the prices drop

OK i got Polaris and Vega mixed up.

Just realised those 3 fan 390 cards can't fit in my puny cm690 II case...

saw it...........like i did with my R9 290 TriX and CM HAF912
