So is the 290x the new 8800 gtx? I still cant find a reason

290 user here. Going strong until Vega impresses me.

Huh, for some reason I was expecting the 280x to perform closer to a 970...

FUCKING GIMPWORKS

THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>57138979
GCN 1 is starting to show its age, still decent for a gpu that is 5 years old

But the fact that the 290x/390x is still towards the top of most benchmarks after more than 3 years is very impressive

>>57139028
BF1 is the flagship of amds sponsorship program, its just that the 980ti doesn't have any async or proper dx12 support

>>57139035
A 280x should still be much faster than a 460, at least on par with a 780 in dx12.

>>57138797
Recently picked up a 390X for cheap. Couldn't be happier with this little room heater.

>>57138933
Same, vega might have a chance of being a decent upgrade over a 290x

From god to kane to se- I mean hawaii.

>>57138797
Lucked out and got sent a 390x when I RMA'd my 290X, fucking glorious, so glad it is holding it's on in the face of all these tech jumps.

On another note, I was wondering if the new 1050ti is definitively the best choice if you have a crappy PC and need something to carry it through for another year or two.

Some say the 470 or 480 are worth but the 480 is like 100 dollars more than the 1050ti and the 470 seems to be the same card as the 1050ti minus a half centimeter of dick length.

>>57139352
1050ti is going to be about as powerful as a 380-960

>>57139393
so the 480 is equivalent to a 970 then?

>>57138797
390x here

got it in may of this year card absolutely rapes

>>57139352
used 290 or 390 seems to be the best value card atm

I got a used GTX 780 for slightly cheaper than a 290x. Still alright I think

7950 and 7970 are.

>>57140209
7970 best card of its generation, no doubt about it.
Still rapes many cards.

>>57138797
pinnacle of nvidia's lack of async, dx12 support and showcase of gimpworks tech. Kudos to owners of 200 and 300 series amd cards

>>57140119
290x especially the 8gb oc version shits over it though
>>57140271
>mfw 390x is the 3rd fastest card in alot of benchmarks
Wew, whatever AMD was on when they made the original 290x 8gb was fucking insane especially for 2014

>>57140392
yeah maybe with both of those upgrades, but the difference between normal and 780 is small i think.
I run 1080p anyway so doesnt even matter lolol

>>57139423
470 is equivalent to a 970

>>57140119
>literally only half as powerful as a 290x
>its """good"""
you got cucked just face it the 780 is useless

>>57140392
the 290x/390x came out in 2013

>>57140572
good one, im going to microwave my quieter and more efficient graphics card now

>>57140598
>b-but muh 10 watts
>b-but muh sound
and the 290x has almost double the performance, the 780 is complete shit

wow 15 watts you must be saving the big bucks by doing that

Is Vega supposed to be the high end? Is there a chance they'll release a card that is just above the RX480 or below the 1070?

i need a 1080 ti or 490x so i can play bf1 at constant 60 fps at 4k and i need it now.

i have 1070 now and get between 40-60

I own a 250 GTS, will this card bring similar results to an 290x ?

>>57140643
yes, vega is the fury x's replacement

>>57140655
what card?

>>57140683
>what card?
250 GTS.

>>57140687
No and that was one the the most autistic attempts at humor ive ever seen

>>57139054
i just got a Sapphire Toxic R9 280x
its not that much more powerful than my Sapphire nitro 4gb Rx460
the 460 is the better option of the two, less power draw, much cooler temps, much smaller size at the expense of maybe 2-3fps

390x came all over my face :3
>>57140640
average 290/390x power consumption is nowhere near that, around 100-250watt max

Is it possible to flash a 290 to 290x?

>>57140623
No where near double the performance mate.
It's cute seeing people justify their exorbitant purchases.
Who will be laughing when your 290x catches fire at that heat.

>>57140882
nope.

290x/390x doesnt have that much performance over the 290

i had a 290 390 and 390x settled with the 390x because it was just the better card out of the bunch

>>57139028
Wow, a card better and newer than the 980ti in nearly every conceivable aspect somehow beats it by 9 fps in games. Totally nvidia gimping cards and not just releasing better ones.

Their new cards should just be on par with the old ones just so you don't feel bad.

>>57141826
These are stock results. It's pointless.

is the rx 490 worth waiting for? hbm2 sounds pretty tasty

No R9 380 SOC or 380X

man.
how am i suppose to know how my card performs now?

Poorfag here, I've got an R7 250X that I'd like to swap for something more modern. Linux support is a prerequisite for me. What do you recommend?

>>57138797
390X is.
I want those 8GB.

Is this a literal Nvidia shill site? I've seen their "totally legit" benchmarks posted a few times now, and they always seem to massively favour Nvidia and completely disagree with every other site out there.

For someone who plays 1440 on bf1 ultra on dx 12, the first picture is more accurate, and fuck if i have ever dropped to 40fps,just aint happened. on 2160,ultra, i got 60-80/90 fps, dropped to maybe 55, surprised my cpu didnt go too high to restart my machine.
