| JEMC said: 4GB will be bad news. Who's going to buy a $849 4GB GPU when, for a little more, you can buy a card just as fast but with three times more memory and the extra eye candy bits that Nvidia brings to the table? If true, AMD's 3x0 series will be DOA. |
Yeah I was just coming in to post that info : http://www.fudzilla.com/news/graphics/37790-amd-fiji-aims-at-849-retail-price
It's going to be a disaster. I was excited to see that an 8GB card was on cue, but of course it's just a CF on a card deal, so games can only use 4GB :(
The stupid thing about this is that a pair of 970s or 290s will absolutely murder it for cheaper. And a pair of 8GB 290s will slaughter a 390 in eyefinity/4K.
So the market for this 390X is :
(1)- People with a ton of $$ that only want a single GPU (dual top-end GPUs are only useful for beyond 1080/eyefinity setups, and 4GB limit would hammer those configs with 2015+ games, 6GB and beyond is minimal now for high end)
(2)- People who are stuck on a single 1080p display, and who are willing to make compromises on settings to stay under 4GB in the near future (several games noted on GAF are pushing 4GB+ @ 1080P already!!)
(3)- Uneducated comsumers?
