Ok.... who is talking about 8800GTX's?
I'd love to get a single 390X to replace my two 290s in CF since CF honestly never really worked for me. But I have to admit after owning the 290s for a long time now they run really hot. I hope the 390X are better in the cooling dept.
Ah, quite right: that's the Ultra: nVidia's foray ("market recon SKU") to gauge how much consumers would pay for a slight speed increase.
I find this heat issue common for all ATI cards I've owned.
Anywhere from $500-700.Any ideas on how much the 380x and the 390x maybe going to cost?
Anywhere from $500-700.
You can hope all you want, but it's going to be a massive chip - and big chips cost big money. If it performs as well as these 'leaks', then at $700 it would actually be a good value.that's a big spread...hopefully it'll be $499.99

AMD "putting the finishing touches" on Radeon 300 series
http://www.pcgamer.com/amd-putting-the-finishing-touches-on-radeon-300-series/
saw this last night....still just as vague as anything else. speculation is 100% pointless from that small tidbit of information AMD shared.
Do you usually but the stock fan versions ?

April would be my guess
Was GTA 5 confirmed as a Gaming Evolved title?Bundled with Gta V.
I doubt AMD would charge more than £500 for this... Even if it is 30% faster than a 980 it will still have double the TDP and a lot more heat and noise, so it should be priced competitively with the 980.
Seriously, look at the last [H] review of a GTX 980. Actual gaming load power consumption.Not double the TDP and not a lot more heat and noise especially if it is on a CLC. TDP definition for Nvidia and AMD are 2 different measurements.
80w more than GTX 980, probably. Not 160w.
Under full load we saw the ASUS ROG GTX 980 MATRIX-P increase up to 352W under load. This is not much more than the STRIX version which ran at 345W. We also notice at this point the ASUS ROG R9 290X MATRIX-P's power consumption is much higher than the GTX 980 at 465W, while delivering inferior gameplay.
When we overclocked the ASUS ROG GTX 980 MATRIX-P the total system draw increased to 370W. This is 8W higher than the ASUS GTX 980 STRIX DC II OC which drew 362W. These two video cards seemed not only to be identical in gameplay performance, but in power consumption as well. The ASUS ROG GTX 980 MATRIX-P does have more top-end room, however we didn't need to push power consumption to achieve the maximum overclock on air. The ASUS ROG R9 290X MATRIX-P's overclocked power draw increased up to 617W from the wall. This is 247W more than the overclocked ASUS ROG GTX 980 MATRIX-P with much slower gameplay.
Yes and the 380x is supposed to have a THREE HUNDRED WATT TEE DEE PEE, which would be about double the power consumption and also much more heat compared to 980... But 30% more performance and freesync would be worth the increase in power and heat for a single card freesync 1440p.. IF it is priced competitively to the 980.
This is why I just can't look at AMD currently. These power figures are ridiculous. Of course I am trying to sandwich in a top tier GPU into a SFF case, but still. I could probably cope with 300w tdp, but not if it has to be liquid cooled. I don't know how many others are with me here, but with such elaborate cooling methods and high power consumption, AMD isn't a viable option for some because of this. I really wish they would get the power use under control.
Honestly, if 300watts TDP bothers you, you should not be shopping in the Flagship/Halo price segment.
There are plenty of other lower wattage opions in the mainstream segment...
this isntoft....

I don't see how your comment furthers your point. If you look at my sig, my M1 has just as much power as yours. TDP doesn't bother me, but it bothers me when another company can get a grip on it and the other cannot. All I was trying to say is if they could get the cards cooled without AIO loops and keep the TDP the same even, it would be an interesting choice for those of us running "sleeper" systems, as I call them.
This is [H]ard|Forum, not [G]reen|Forum. TDP shmeedeepee. I want performance. If AMD brings it, I'll buy it. I'm due for an upgrade and will be waiting for these 380's to hit the market before making a purchase decision.
Comparing the TDPs of Maxwell to Hawaii is unfair, because you're comparing across different generations.
GK110 and Hawaii had comparable TDP and similar performance, and that often touted 300W TDP figure is for peak power consumption when crunching GPGPU. Gaming-wise the 290X is on par with GK110.
And don't forget, Maxwell will have 250W TDP cards too. If the 380X/390X performs better than GM200 then the 300W TDP is absolutely justified.
My point is i dont give a damn if its 400watts TDP if it beats the 980.
$19 a year in extra power means absolutly nothing to me.
TDP is irelevent, only performance
