Guru3D reported some interesting specs for AMD’s upcoming graphics cards. According to the gurus, the following specs for AMD’s GPUs were spotted at the ranking system of SiSoft Sandra.
The first model (speculated to be AMD’s Radeon 390) will pack 4096 Shader Processors running / 64 Compute Units at 800Mhz with 4GB of graphics memory.
The second model (speculated to be AMD’s top of the line card, the Radeon 390X) will feature 4096 Shader Processors running / 64 Compute Units at 1Ghz with 4GB of graphics memory that will be running at 1.25Ghz, resulting in 5Gbps of total bandwidth.
As we’ve already said, take everything you just read with a grain of salt.
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
Guru3D has also shared some benchies from what seems to be a preview version of AMD’s Radeon 390X. Since these charts have not been validated as of yet, we strongly suggest taking them with a grain of salt. Still, if this is any indication of this card’s capabilities, we can safely say that the next round of GPUs will be an exciting one.

Yeah these cards will make Nvidia push out GM200 cards faster when they release. 2015 is gonna be huge for gaming GPU’s.
Hopefully at a very attractive price!
attractive price from NVidia? LOL
Maybe he meant attractive from Nvidia’s perspective as they always look at their customers pockets lol 😉
Take a look at GTX 970 and its crushing R9 290x!
Crushing ? AMD adjusted the price of R9 290X and it comes with never settle bundle so I don’t see GTX 970 crushing it, those one year old cards stay close to newer Maxwells in many of the benchmarks, not to mention they out perform them in all Mantle enabled games so that’s pretty embarrassing for new cards built on new architecture and when something like this happens then it’s even worse (Remember this is Nvidia favoring title)

In addition to this Ryse, Shadow of Mordor performed slightly better on AMD cards and here is my own video of ACU on my R9 290 Tri-X.

I have seen many GTX 970 videos and they tend to perform similar to R9 290, (It’s not 290X). AMD is doing great work with their driver optimization lately.
NOTE: Sorry for small fps overlay, you should watch in 1080p full screen mode to see it clearly.
If you dont know this: the new GTX 970&980 are for users who still have 5xx-6xx-770 series.
Users who have GTX 780series dont have to upgrade their card.Still GTX 780-780TI are good cards and you dont have to pay for ~10% increase performance.
For AMD users: wait for Q1-Q2 2015,more good surprises will come. 😉
AMD needs to be using 512MB GDDR5 chips instead of 256MB. 8GB of VRAM is far more future-proof.
this cards are using stacked memory
Yeah, they’re using eight 2-high stacks w/ 256MB chips instead of 512MB chips. I just assumed that its GDDR5.
You also need more memory capacity to complement the increased data throughout. 4GB is a bare minimum standard now.
640 GB/s is insane. The highest I’ve seen with the R9 290X is 361 GB/s when OC’d (320 GB/s stock).
If they release something better than GTX 970 best price perf i mean i will get one AMD card if not i will go with GTX 970 to be ready on GTA V with 4x MFAA!
MFAA? you mean 10 years old temporary MSAA (with programmable sample positions). How is this better than EQAA, CSAA, CFAA, etc. ? When good post process AA offers better visuals with fraction of performance cost. (For instance SMAA 1x or higher)
And Adaptive v-sync=Dynamic v-sync
Yes the quality of 4x MSAA with the performance of 2x MSAA and for a GTX 970 in GTA V that will be amazing!
I wonder what the word “simple” means in those benchmarks, does it indicate 380X ? because the name has not been mentioned in those benchmarks, it’s just people speculating it’s 390X.
I finaly bought GIGABYTE GTX 970 G1 GAMNG on saturday it is a very good card a realy huge improvement compared to the 560 ti that i had, It can play evrything at maxed settings 1440p and games look amazing even the crappy ACU is playble maxed on it 1440 p, And i dont care for amd anyway because they cards suck! Nvidia forever!!!
i have the option of returning my 770gtx in warranty and upgrade now to a 970 or wait until the next cards from nvidia come out next year and upgrade to that but play witcher 3 on the 770. what to do what to do.
