Last year's rumor before I buy r9 390x. Many suggested to.wait for rx480 if i'm not interested with fury. This rx480 reminds me of AMD fooling people when launching r9 390 that turned out to be same old Hawaii architecture gpu that is improved version of r9 290. I suppose this rx480 is improved version of r9 380. Is there rx490?
You have been fooled, thats for sure, but not by AMD.
You have been fooled by rumors and your own expectation.
Also, pretty sure that R9 390 have been known to be a Grenada gpu long before its release, I am not sure what and how do you expect it to be any different.
RX 480, as it name implied, is a replacement for R9 380 with a much more attractive price point, performance and power draw.
For us, Malaysian, A RM1.3k for GTX970 tier GPU with 8GB of ram is a damn good deal.
