Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Radeon's higher end cards.

Only mainstream cards in the next month or so. High end won't be until at least the 4th quarter.(maybe even next year from AMD and Nvidia.)

There should be a $300 Polaris 10 variant that could be pretty fast, but nobody has actually seen it yet. All they've shown is the base model with 10% of the cores disabled at $199/$229 for the 4/8GB models.

AMD said Vega in October.
If they can stick to the 29th launch for Polaris, they may have some credibility to deliver on this date... small Vega or big Vega is the real question.

I want to believe you. .. i did notice the number of cores to be a bit silly, not a 'full chip' number, but then again, everyone thought the 290x had dissabled cores as well, but that turned out to be false...

Fair point but AMD releasing a non X as the first launch has not happened since... X800 launch? But then it was called Pro instead of non X and XT instead of X...

Well, they changed the naming scheme. Its no longer "R9 380x", its now RX480.
We have no idea if a 'RX480X' exists, and having just typed that out, it looks and sounds rediculous. Its possible that there will ne no +X version. If anything, AMD may use numbers and ONLY numbers to define their card SKUs.
We may se an RX485 or an RX475.

Forgot they already had the X before the 480... so used to Rxxx after all the core names over the years. RX480X is rather weird. You might be completely right then!

Tonga was first released as a non full chip, and I guess technically never released as a full chip even though it received a full CU version 9 months later.

If it's not the full chip the only likely option I can think of for a $300 part would be watercooling it, which seems a bit extreme for midrange. It would likely allow clocking it a lot higher though. There were a lot of rumors suggesting 2560 and a 480 being the base model doesn't seem unreasonable. No idea if that more expensive part would be a 490 or 480, 480X, 480XT setup.
If they were making Duos, which does seem reasonable, using a full die at lower clocks would work well.
I'd agree with you that we haven't seen any facts actually pointing that out, just speculation.
