Is This The XFX Radeon R9 390 Double Dissipation?

I'll be sitting back and waiting for the 390x2

I'll be getting 3 40 inch monitors for Eyefinity.

I've been watching this discussion, and have come to one conclusion. Anyone else out there looking forward to the 4xx series and 10xx series?

I'm looking at the 9xx series, and the performance leap isn't what I'd have expected from the 7xx series (not to say they don't perform better). I'm looking at the 2xx series, and they seem to be half way to turning my computer into a forge (can't say the same for the 3xx series, as no actual data has been confirmed).

Hopefully Nvidea and AMD can make 2016 a better year. As it stands, I see no reason to buy a new card with what I've already got. On the other hand, if the 380 can bring the price of a 970 down to the $250 mark I'd reconsider that opinion.

The R9 390 series is going to overheat so bad with air coolers.

But that won't stop AMD from lying about the clock speeds and using the boost clock as the advertised clock speed.

Haha cry more Nvidiot!

The custom cooled 290X's run quieter and cooler than the Titan X.

Yeah, it's not what it could have been if TSMC had gotten it together for 20nm. The improved efficiency would have allowed for more performance per watt. If TSMC can get it together for 16nm then we will see a huge jump with Pascal hopefully this year maybe early next year. AMD has got me wondering if they will have a much cooler GPU on the way with Arctic Islands. I don't think they would have chose that codename otherwise.
