AMD Hawaii R9 290X GPU Specifications ?

I think thats a sample above, as havn't AMD changed from those old blower coolers now, to those on the 7990.

 

It was a picture taken from Overclockers site.

 

Looks good! I hope it spanks titan, that should make things interesting - and better for us customers.

 

512bit bus adds another extra, that 30%+ seems possible.

kinda like by 580GTX vs 7970

I expect similar results now 780GTX/Titan vs R9-290X or maybe even more

 

and they leaked some benchmarks too, actually a lot!

atm it looks like its 10-40% faster then Titan, not to mention if you OC'ed for 150-200mhz ;p

And for 550-600€ not bad imo, Im sure never drivers will fix the rest like by 7000 series.. :nerd:

 

So do I. I went from HD 7970 Crossfire to my single GTX 780.

My 780 is keeping up with the 7970 Crossfire quite well at 1080p 144hz Vsync.

 

If those benches are true I think nvidia is going to have to release a full gk110 chip soon aka titan ultra.

 

512 bit. Looks like they're going to big dies again then?

Chiphell has some leaked performance numbers. Probably fake, take with a grain of salt, but you never know.



EDIT: They appear to be the same as the korean link above. Probably stolen numbers.

 

And price it accordingly.

 

Lovely, this is getting better and better, let's hope AMD keep the promised.

This will give us alot of price cuts very soon...

 

Hope thats true. Tbh the 780 should be more in the $500 buck range and titan 600 to 700 maybe. You got 770 4gb cards around 500 bucks now. Thats way too much for what it is.

 

Not sure about the benches, but the PCB does look legit. Also, 512 bit/4GB comes as a surprise. The cooler and the shroud look to be engineering or an early revision. The A0 revision for Tahiti was also similar, which was replaced by B0 revision that was released as part of the reference design. So, I will not be surprised if the cooler changes on the actual GPU.

Looking very promising for AMD. Cannot wait for actual reviews.

 

It's looking to be what has been said for the past couple of months.

"Titan-like performance and cheaper than the 780"

Hopefully this brings down the 780's price, been looking to go SLi.

 

512bit? I really doubt that tbh.... Only reason I can see for 512 is if Hynix hits a wall with GDDR5 clock speeds...
Current cards have the GDDR5 underclocked by a decent amount. I think AMD could easily gain bandwidth without moving to a bigger bus....imo.

And I just noticed there's nothing stamped on those IC's......no that doesn't look suspicious at all.

Hmm looks like the name is scribbled out in pic, not the board, Still I have doubts.

If these benchies are true, then it looks pretty decent and especially if its at the rumoured price point.

EDIT: paid if i read the entire page.....lol, seems just pasted results from chiphell bench image

 

As a die hard Nvidia fan, I hope AMD comes to the table with some thing that blows the 780 out of the water!

 

I'll be getting two, less the 780 drops to 500$ competition...gotta love it.

Just hopping these are true. Either way i expect it to be around the listed numbers. I mean if it doesn't match the 780 it would've been a waste of time.

 

Oooh those benchies do look good, if legit

 

If they are legit, you also have to factor in that there may be some room for improvement with future drivers.

 

Spose you have to thank AMD for letting Nvidia users know when their getting another driver as well, that supposedly boosts Titan/780 performance up to and over 40% in certain titles.
