Finally, AMD’s 300 series of graphics cards have hit the shelves, and offer a modest performance boost over the previous 200 generation thanks to mild improvements in both architecture and higher clock speeds. This review will be focused on the R9 390 8GB, which AMD are targeting to the 1440P crowd. The Radeon 390.

AMD’s Radeon Fury X, previously known only by the codename Fiji has popped up in the news again as benchmarks surface showing the cards impressive OpenCL performance. Before we proceed it’s important to note that the benchmarks are fairly old, dating back to May of this year, thus the cards performance could be different.

Matt Skynner CVP and General Manager of AMD’s GPU and APU products has gone on record and has said that the Radeon R9 Fury X will be fast… very fast. ““HBM enables us to build the fastest GPU in the world” Currently we’re still awaiting the card to be released in about two weeks.

While the cards haven’t been officially released to the public, the Radeon R9 390x’s (assuming that’s what they end up being called) are in the hands of developers. Johan Anderrson, Dice’s Technical Director, has been playing around with AMD’s new flagship and calls them “seriously impressive”. That’s not all he did either – ‘leaking’.

It’s fair to say that with recent news the Radeon R9 300 series will make it’s June 3rd debut at Computex, there’s a lot of excitement in the air, particularly around the R9 390X which will feature HBM (High Bandwidth Memory). AMD have recently released an official set of slides explaining why they’ve opted.

Yesterday AMD officially unveiled it was indeed working on the world’s first GPU featuring stacked High Bandwidth Memory, but stopped short on giving us hints on its specifications. Teaser images for what appears to be AMD’s new flagship card has emerged, and they demonstrate that the GPU is considerably smaller than other recent AMD.

News is coming thick and fast over the coming hours from AMD, as the company holds its live analysts webcast. So far, the webcast has indeed confirmed much of the speculation regarding the fiji R9 390X GPU, it will indeed be using High Bandwidth Memory and will also be ‘Virtual Reality Enablement’. The great.

We may have just seen the reveal of the release date for AMD’s upcoming Radeon R9 380 GPU, as well as fuel for an interesting rumor. This came to us through a press release from HP regarding their new HP ENVY tower series, which can be equipped with either a Nvidia GeForce 980 or.

After months of speculation, leaks, rumors and waiting, it’s been confirmed AMD’s R9 390X (codenamed Fiji) will indeed be the world’s first Graphics Card featuring stacked High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). The information comes to us via HotChips 2015 conference, which is scheduled to run between August 23-25, 2015. The website reads “Fiji, The World’s.

While we’re eagerly awaiting the official specs of both the R9 300 series, the 390X in particular, and news on Nvidia’s GTX 980 Ti’s, there have been an awful lot of leaks and rumors swirling later, and if they’re accurate they bring a lot of questions and things to ponder. Kicking things off with.

The announcement from AMD of the R9 3xx series being worked on is hardly a surprising turn of events. But news AMD will have their cards on store shelves as soon as February, well that is cause for celebration.  AMD have recently held their annual even in Japan, during which they were only too.
