PowerColor offered me to swap my faulty R9 390X with the 2 options below
Which one should I get?

1. Another PowerColor R9 390X Devil
2. PowerColor RX 580 Red Devil

RX 580 feels like a downgrade because of the lower Memory Bus, lower Memory Bandwidth, lower Shader Processing Units, lower Texture Mapping Units, lower Render Output Units, lower Texture Rate & lower Pixel Rate

One package, but they're 2 separate dies. So probably 2 heat pipes or a very big/long one.

Both are two different architecture, one is newer than the others so you cant directly compare like that. Its a sidegrade not a downgrade. You gain a little bit of performance, in turn better power consumption and lower heat output. You can watch on youtube on how 290x (similar to 390x but with 4GB RAM) performs on par or slightly worse than RX 470. I think hardware unboxed done that comparison.

Gaming wise, RX580 performs better than R9 390X.

i will certainly go rx 580, 390x just gobbles up too much wattage

Thanks for the update guys, will go for the RX 580 then

Just a little rant of mine. Prices of AMD card in Malaysia is just ridiculous. Just look in Garage Sales, RX 4xx and RX 5xx cards prices above RM1.1k all the way up to RM1.9k, which for the price you can fetch 980 Ti and GTX 1070. Older 390 also hovers around RM1k. Its very hard to recommend any AMD cards, no wonder this thread is basically dead. Mining craze is died down but not the price, used mining cards also fetch high price.

AMD presence in Malaysia, at least on the GPU side has not been great in the last few years. Maybe after the rise of Ryzen CPU, we could see the next generation GPU sold at a more considerable price.

I was expecting the price for RX 400 series to go down much more after RX 500 and Vega series released. But sadly, the pricing is much like the newer model.

Demand is still there i guess, that's why the price barely drop.

AMD selling RX 560 with 896sp. I bought Powercolor RX 560 few days ago to test out Freesync and it comes with 896sp, but I did found 1034sp vBIOS variant of the same card and lucky me it worked. AMD shooting themself in the foot with this, you need to look in their SKU to know which variant you got.

I guess they're shooting another foot this time because last year they make a r9-270 with 1024sp.

Isnt that only Powercolor that made it?

I wonder why they make this decision. Probably yield for the RX560 is just bad.

It should be better yield as the time goes. Maybe they wanted to sell off old inventory

Hi guys I just gotten myself a freesync monitor. can you guys help me choose between 980ti or RX480 or 580 gpu which 1 is better? My aim is to play high/ultra games settings only~

Hmm, i recall someone here had the PowerColor card so many that's the case.

Which monitor? 980 Ti performance is much higher compare to 580. I don't know if Freesync works out of the box for all games or still need some software support for each games.

Freesync is not dependant on games, as long as you enable it in control panel it should work, enhanced sync work too if you want the framerate to be uncapped. I have 980Ti but since Freesync work so well Im using my RX 560 all the time now.
