These performance price brackets are pretty poor IMO given how much time has passed on 28nm. This looks as if the prices for price/performance were caluclated from the current pay positions and extrapolated upon...
EDIT: For example, that 370 and 380 are basically the exact same price performance as what has existed since... quite some time now.

300 watts is outrageous. Also, supposedly HBM will only be available for 390 and 390X?

980 slightly outperforms it.
Potential derail on post 4? I'm impressed.
As I said in the other thread, disappointing if true. This means Nvidia wont likely release a 980 "Ti" aka Titan X for the masses without the DP performance.
How is it a derail? He is trying to compare the value.

980 is superior in perf/watt. Value is about even, as it's pretty easy to find a non-reference 290x for $320~

Here's my question: How useful would a 390/390X be for 1080p gaming? Overkill for that much resolution?

I have a 290x, should I consider buying at launch or wait for price to drop?
When the benchmark rumors came out I was surprised to see it under 300 watts. That clashed with the confirmed rumor that the 390X would have an AIO cooler. AMD needed the AIO for a very hot part and this unfortunately makes sense.

Not a fan of those 390/390x prices.
Also the 380/380x prices, if they are really "rebranded" 290/290x with slightly better performance, are too high IMO.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out. I have a feeling that the price and power consumption will keep the 390/390x from being crazy sellers.

What resolution do you game at? You shouldn't really worry about upgrading right now. That's a beast card.

It's hard to say. People thought 4 gig cards were overkill for 1080p a few years ago and look where we're at now with 2 gig cards.
lol that y-axis scale. 60% improvement is nice though.
Well if the 390X is really 50-60% faster than the 290X then $700+ is okay.....but over $1000 would be to much if you ask me.

R9 370 (approx. between R9 270X and R9 285) ~200$
isn't a 280x which is iirc quite a bit better than the 270x and 285 already around 200$ in the us? I know it's more expensive here, around 310-320 but I see it often recommended over the 960 (around 250-ish here) for US people since it's a similar price and performs better

I'd wait. 290(x) resell market got slaughtered but mining market and I'd be much more interesting in a process shrink.

300 watts for a single GPU no thanks. Seems that for me personally buying a second 970 or upgrading to SLI 980s would be a better route than a single 390x
.. Totally still playable for most games @ 1080? Those 4GB 760s etc. were still kind of a waste of time.

I'm in that 2 GB boat. Some of my games are stuttering like anything at ultra textures, but are much better at high. Depends on the game and how optimized it is, though.

Yes, it is. Hence why this pricing is terrible. Quite a while ago, i made a thread about poor mid-tier GPU pricing (non-depreceating prices) and it appears as if AMD is maintaining this for some reason.

290X in BF4 in 4K:
minFPS:28 avgFPS:37
390X would be
minFPS: 44 avgFPS:59
4K gaming on single GPU is now pretty good!
lol
They know how to make graphs look better than they actually are.

My 2 gig 670 is handling most things fine, but I would be way better off if I had went with the 4 gig according to most benchmarks I see. Curious to see how it handles GTAV and TW3. Trying to hold off until next year for Pascal cards.

How does your card compare to a 2 GB R9 270X?

I'd admit I am new to this stuff, what is a mining market?

It's a shame that we can't get more efficient cards from AMD. Also, big lol @ that slide.
Someone is defensive. I'm pretty sure he's just trying to compare the value.
On topic: these prices seem pretty high, I'm not sure I believe it.

That scale graphs are quite common, for example
They should start it at 0.83, I can still see the 7950 in some benchmarks.
For a somewhat long (and shitty) period plenty of AMD's cards (e.g. 280, 280X, 290, 290X) became even more expensive instead of cheaper because of their use for bitcoin mining. They were sold out for weeks (and months) and you couln't get used cards either.

Alot of companies use this type of graphs (including nvidia) to compare diferente GPU´s.
The thing is that 60% faster than a 290x is amazing when considering they are on the same processing node.
If it sells for 700 the 8GB version im already sold since i could not care less if it consumes 200W or 300W.
If the performance mentioned is real it´s finally time to upgrade by 1080p monitor to a 4K.

At those prices I'm just gonna crossfire my 290 with windows 10.

If the 390X is faster than any other single GPU/card and is cheaper than the Titan X, consider it being bought

On the plus side, when mining on 290's stopped being profitable people who made their bitcoin money flipped the used 290(x)'s for stupid cheap.
I am actually using one of those used cards currently ($230 for a 290 1 year ago). But Asus allows for transferable 3 year warranty from manufacturers date. Still, it runs like a champ.

I believe I already saw leaked benches showing that to be the case. Take it with a grain of salt though.
EDIT: what the heck is this even a graph of?That scale graphs are quite common, for example
Look at the 7950 crying.

How is it ok?
I want to hear you explain it.
the hd4870 was 50 percent faster than the 3870 and launched at 199dollars, that's how things work, new hardware comes along and performance/dollar goes up
Can I interest you in a 20GB hard disc? only a million dollars
On topic: if this rumor is correct (ugh please don't let it be), I predicted it in the other thread. Once based on the 'ultra enthusiast gpu' PR speak they've used to set the tone on the 390x, and once based on them not rebranding the 7970 and 290x again.

They normalized it to the 7970.
Premium price for premium performance.
Works with cars too.
No, because every $5 flash drive is miles better than that but there is no better single GPU than the 390X(if you belive this leak)

It's a new line of gpus... performance is supposed to go up, comparing it to the previous gen of gpus for pricing makes absolutely no sense
The old high end becomes the new midrange
If this rumor is correct the old high end remains at the old high end price and the new high end comes at a big price hike.
What will you do when the 490x comes out and is 50 percent faster again? pay 1200 dollars for it? And the one after that? 2000?
And don't shrug this off because it's already happened and is about to happen again, prices doubled once in the past 4 years and they're about to nearly double again.
Your next phone is going to be 2x faster than your current one and will be the fastest phone available for a while, are you going to pay double for it too? A fool and his money I guess.
I can't believe I even have to explain this to you, I hope you are getting paid for your shilling.
I never paid more than 200€ for a graphicscard or any phone I had. I don't have much money and I'm sure that I'm not a fool but if people want to buy 550mm² graphicscards then I think that 700€+ is okay because these are expensive wattmonsters with a very bad yield rate.
