Question: It used to be that overclocking memory also increase frame rates. However, with the bandwidth being 3x GDDR5, and it's likely that it's more than enough for 4K, would overclocking the memory still achieve increased frame rates, the same way overclocking the cores?
Chiphell's pic matches WCCFTech's btw.
Overclcoking memory has never had more than a marginal effect on performance for the last few generations.
I dont see that changing with HBM
Well WCCF's image is obviously a render, not sure about this new one since the image is too small.Not really, look at the placement of the radeon text, the original pic form last night with the weird angle has the radeon text much closer to the retaining bracket. The side on view is obviously something that someone has mocked up based on the first pic.
Even on 4K? If bandwidth makes no difference, then why the jump to HBM for extra bandwidth?
Because most end-users don't understand that just because it is newer and faster than GDDR5 that it won't necessarily be faster in real-world use. They just see 'OMFG it has HBM, that makes it better!'.Even on 4K? If bandwidth makes no difference, then why the jump to HBM for extra bandwidth?

From what I have been trying to find on this card so far, and all the rummored performance of the HMB ram, this thing should destroy a TitanX right? Especially in 4K situtations.. according to their slides.
Well as always, I hope AMD brings out big guns and also includes better driver support.
Competition is ALWAYS good. I'd like to by the best, but if i have to consider drivers issues... I just like Nvidia software better....

Amd has been very healthy for the gaming industry recently. We should support both sides when they bring something new to the table.
They put into the consoles what Sony and Microsoft paid for.They put yesteryear hardware in "next gen" consoles
On the topic of UHD, Nvidia chose to release a 3.5 GB card advertised as 4 GB. I'm sure that works great at 4K+. And the 390X is being marketed specifically as a 4K/VR card.UHD taking hold on the market fast which has both MS and Sony developing consoles sooner than befor
Again, referencing OEM cards, which Nvidia also rebrands... And AMD has rebranded many times in the past. When you take things so far out of context, they almost become flat-out lies.They did not revamp their whole product line, no instead the 360, 370, and R9 380 are again rebadged yesteryear hardware.
The 750 Ti which is destroyed by the 265 for a lower price?Yet Nvidia releases Maxwell across all price levels from 750Ti/960 to Titan X which is truly new hardware, not rebadge across the line
That is where 980TI will come in with 6gb of gddr5 ram and could be priced to undercut the 390x and rest of line gets a price drop.According to some older "leaked" internal slides, the performance should be under Titan X, but ahead of 980.

Rumor I am seeing is the 390x is going to be faster than the 295x2 - which, where multi-gpu scales correctly, is faster than the Titan X.
The 750 Ti which is destroyed by the 265 for a lower price?
The 960 which is destroyed by not one, but 3 cards: The 280, 285, and 280X? All of which are either cheaper or the same price as the 960?
Nvidia has nothing in their favor except power consumption.
I agree with everything else, though. AMD is in a bad spot and its entirely their own doing.
But for the majority of your post: Please don't waste our time with talking point FUD nonsense. This is not WCCFTech, you are wasting our time and insulting our intelligence with that nonsense.
Do people typically buy Dell PC's with the intention of gaming on them, paired with a FreeSync monitor? Does Dell even sell FreeSync monitors? Does Dell even sell gaming PC's?R9 370 card doesn't even support Freesync. I mean really?
Really? Can you explain this? Because its not even close to true. If they were "healthy" for gaming they wouldn't be in such disarray and stock price under $3 a share. They put yesteryear hardware in "next gen" consoles and didn't account for UHD taking hold on the market fast which has both MS and Sony developing consoles sooner than before. They did not revamp their whole product line, no instead the 360, 370, and R9 380 are again rebadged yesteryear hardware.
Yet Nvidia releases Maxwell across all price levels from 750Ti/960 to Titan X which is truly new hardware, not rebadge across the line. Losing money across the board while owning a 3 big console players is not "healthy" for gaming.
This is not the sign of a "thriving" or reborn company. Without new hardware from the bottom to the top, they are just in the death throws of a failing company. The last 9 months has been a joke to watch Roy@amd with his "coming soon" posts on twitter.

People, remember that 360/370/380 are OEM chips. Keep your eyes open for 370X, 380X and 390/390X.
Here are the latest price ive heard from Korea (rumor per moderators request):
R9 370X - $229
R9 380X - $349
R9 390 - $429
R9 390X 4GB - $549
R9 390X 8GB -$599
You may notice that R9 380X cost $100 more than R9 290X.
Lets just say GTX 980 will get some serious competition.
Its a reason why AMD only announced and listed the non-X chips"
I guess if we had to make an educated guess then the specs make it look like - going by execution width increase and expecting a similar balance of related resources - the 390X may be ~%45 faster than the 290X.
Now just a matter of grabbing some benchmark charts and adding that up for a rough guess, have fun.
Before anyone else sees this and falls victim. Chiphell has the pic from tccf, a pic of the cooler and the radiator (hopefully legit as it looks awesome), and then a card with no head sink. The naked card looks like it could be a 390x but it is not. The url to the pic reveals it's a sapphire 285.

There's VRAM on that board so who would think it's a 390X?
Sounds like they made another space heater card based on them immediately jumping to water cooling. I'd be more impressed if like nVidia, they could make cards that perform well while running cool and quiet on air.
