New Design, New Tech, AMD’s competitive edge!

This is quite the step for AMD, and it looks like it is in the right direction. The new GPU appears to have much better aesthetics, with an LED logo, a metallic finish on the GPU shroud, and black elsewhere. This is somewhat of a change from AMD’s previous designs, with only red and black- no AMD cards have ever had an LED by default until now.

Specs and Pricing!

The rumored specs of the 390x point to performance that can rival both the Titan X and the GTX 980 Ti. If those specs are in fact true the only question that remains is that of price. If AMD prices this GPU anywhere from $600 to $850, it will most likely be solid contender.

Conclusion

The R9 390x looks like it is going to be an amazing GPU but until they are released and official benchmarks start to surface its going to be hard to judge. Whether or not the rumored specs are true, we now have a definite idea of the look of the video card and an idea of what it will likely cost based on the price of the GTX 980 Ti and the Titan X.
