This one its amazing.. hahahaha comparing to the HD7950.. just to write there boost your performance to +80% freaking stupid people seriously.. not only comparing to old HD7000 series but to nvidia GTX 600 series.. xD just pure crap..

Because they are 200 series cards with more memory and for more money. If they compared the cards to 200 series performance, everyone would get up and leave.

How? They are all essentially re-brands?

I've been going on about how a 30%/$90 (pegging the 390x at $390 MSRP) premium over the 290x was already a disappointing lack of progress. Which turned out to be wrong :p

This. AMD needs to dig down to the most recent card that gives them a decent looking graph for their rebrands.

What does a 390x do, that a 290x 8GB OC model priced at $379 doesn't?

nothing?. just new coolers and new boxes if you want.. oh and.. a larger e-peen..

You forgot the most important part...+100 on the name, that just boosts performance by 9000 because numbers bigger! :p

It gives amd more money and it's at least 100 more in the model number, 390 is bigger than 290 :cool:

You didn't need that 50$ anyways...
 
i was really hoping for a full fury card at 499 like the 290x was at launch. We have known for a while now it wasn't gunna happen but still sad lol.
 
ok, those slides and graphs with ridiculous y-axis scaling are pretty common in those presentations but holy shit AMD

in regards to retarded slides you just hit it out of the park, this is borderline trolling!
 
I want the project quantum case below my tv :mad: give me a price AMD..
