I'm still betting it falls somewhere in between them.Its rivalling the Titan X, not the 980 lol

I'm still betting it falls somewhere in between them.
290x are still very expensive. there's like almost a 100-dollar difference between it and 970...
this card is going to be hella expensive, isn't it?

that's tiny, If it can rival that GTX980 I will have to ask what black magic/ voodoo are they using.
The certainty in this post - belief or ...?Nope, it will be better than the titan x by at least 10%.

Pics are fake:
Yeah, but still much cheaper than the nVidia equivalents.
What? 290x can be had for cheaper than a 970, for under $300 in some cases.
The 290X was better than any nvidia offering at launch.Expecting the same, but if does that's great for those in the market. The reality is AMD hasn't come out with a card that completely trounced NV's flagship in quite awhile.
I expect them to deliver in a big way as far as price/performance is concerned though

It wasn't faster than Titan, traded blows yes. And it was only due to the ridiculously loud (on the stock cooler) Uber mode. Some people here are saying the new card will beat Titan X by 10%, that kind of defeat hasn't happened in ages.
The cooler on reference 290Xs was so sub par I had a hard time recommending it over the 780 at the time (even if the 780 was slower). It took them more than two months to get the non-reference cards out, and by that time Nvidia released the faster 780 Ti
Hopefully this round of cards comes with non-reference options available on day 1, if not AMD better drastically improve on the reference cooler...
The 290x is better than the titan, according to many benchmarks. It's also better than the 780 (non Ti). The 290x was the reason NVIDIA released the 780 ti... Even then, in some games, the 780 ti and 290x traded blows. Obviously, the 780 ti is better overall, but in recent games the 290x is really putting its weight to the table.
In addition, after market coolers for the 290x pretty much made the noise and heat problem obsolete. I have a Sapphire Tri-x 290x that is as silent as my Zotac gtx 970. It also runs as cool as the 970. Now for watt usage... that's another different discussion... lol.
...um. What? Not that I was talking about the 290X, but that is what I was saying - the AMD equivalent cards are always cheaper than nVidia's. Thus, as I said, the 390X will be cheaper than the nVidia equivalent (Titan X, I suppose? 980 TI maybe).

Some kind of efficiency miracle or physics-defying is needed to beat the raw die size of the GM200 part, and top quality drivers too.Highly doubt it, this card will have over 4000 shaders and HBM, that alone will allow this card to trump the Titan X, and be cooler than it as well.

Well the Titan X has 3072 gpu cores/shader core/cuda cores, whatever you want to call them. Strong rumors point out that the 390x will have 4096.
The 290X has 2816 and the 980 has 2048. We know the 290X is just a little slower than the 980. So just by counting cores it "looks" like the 390X should beat the Titan X. Not factoring in architecture improvement, HBM, etc.
The latest rumor is that the 390x will top out at 4GB. The person who posted this rumor is an established tech writer so he probably isn't a liar. His source for the info may or may not be wrong, however.
I hope the source is wrong because a flagship product of 4GB for 2015 is pretty sad for everyone
It's driving me crazy that there is no information on this. I am so ready to pull the trigger on the Titan X, but if this thing actually lives up to the hype, I would rather put that money in AMD.
I want to support them so badly but they make it so hard sometimes!!!

This is the year of 4k. If they're coming out with a high-end card they really need at least 6GB min. If not it won't do well.
No. 980 is beating 290X while having twice less memory bus. A hypothetical Fiji with GDDR5 would likely be slower than GM200.And this post. Even if the 390x was using gddr5 it would be faster than the titan x.

I just wonder something... if it has a waterblock, do you need a watercooling system ???

WHere are you getting your numbers from?
The extrapolated core count for the 390x does not necessarily put it in the ranges you are saying it is in.
No it has an all-in-one water cooling system similar to the 295X2. You just find a place to stick the small heatsink on your case's fan mounts.
Wow ! Sound easy !!![]()
It will come as all-in-one package, same as 295x2 [just checked, it fell to $620 on newegg]. All that user needs to do is to insert the GPU into motherboard and find the place where cooler can be atached on the PC case.
Don't you have to like change the water or something? I know nothing of watercooling.
No, modern all-in-one water blooks come pre-made and ready for plug and play use. Entire waterblook system is closed, and futhermore it has fluid that has less pressure than air. After years of work if some micro cracks appear, liquid will not leak out, but air will leak in into the water pipes.
Even with all that, I don't think liquid cooling will ever be used in home consoles. But for home GPU use, especially high end ones, this will become common because PC gamers are ready to pay for premium.
http://wccftech.com/amd-fiji-r9-390x-skipping-computex-debut-e3-separate-event/#ixzz3a1dHOtJbWeve got news that the actual launch date for Fiji / R9 390X will be the 24th of June, exactly 12 days after E3 kicks off. The rest of the 300 series will launch on June 18th a week prior to Fiji XT. These launch dates are not official by any means but we have reason to believe that theyre fairly accurate.
*sigh* if the Witcher 3 came out later.I'm going to be keeping an eye on these to see how the 380x scales against the 290x. At 2560x1440 my old 6950 clocked to 6970 is struggling a little. I was going to get a 970 or a 290x but with this launch just 6 weeks away I'd rather wait and see. If nothing else it'll upset the prices.
