AMD Radeon R9 370 Reference Design Board Pictured

Alienware leaked the first images of AMD's upcoming Radeon R9 370 graphics card and R9 390M GPU. The card's design looks a lot like the liquid-cooled Fiji-XT "Radeon Fury" board that's being pictured around these days. If the picture Alienware is from AMD, then it's safe to assume that both the R9 370, and the R9 390M will be based on the 28 nm Curaçao silicon. The only major change here, will be the standard memory amount, which has been bumped to 4 GB from 2 GB, thanks to the 4 Gbit GDDR5 chips that are becoming commonplace. AMD is expected to launch these cards a little later this month. The Curaçao silicon features 1,280 GCN stream processors, 80 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and a 256-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface.

would be cool if they decrease the bus width a lil, increase the clock and added a lil compression. doesnt need to be that what is it 60 percent nvidia uses but cant argue being more efficient. i believe the 285 was the first compression and now corrizo so it wouldnt surprise me.

darkangel05047870 renamed again ?
Nvidia sort of did this with the 8800gt/9800gt/gts250, but it looks like AMD is doing the double rebrand with their entire lineup!

natr0nYay for continuous driver updates.
EXACTLY! This is why rebrands actually make sense for us consumers.

yeah its not really a bad thing and they should almost certainly be getting updates.. dx and the 280(x) has no freesync support for some reason. they usually are just trying to beat out the top tier with something. amd's middle class is a little messy tho with the 280(x) and 285 pretty close in performance. i like the 3gb and little higher performance of the 280x.. has enough power to start playing games at 1440p and enough vram to backup crossfire when you add another.
