What are you guys expecting to be a reasonable price for this card? $399?

This is still 28nm IIRC.
Chiphell has the Fiji series launching on June 24th; Grenada is a week earlier, around the 18th.
woops too late
No. This is still the 28nm tech [last one we will get from AMD].
Next year, both AMD and Nvidia are switching to 14nm finfet. AMD will adopt HBM1 this year, and both Nvidia/AMD will switch to HBM2 next year.
There are rumors that the top of the line 390X with water cooling and 8gb of vram will cost ~700$. But that price can be cut down with switch to aircooler and 4gb of ram [and non X version].

Same, that's what I'm rocking and it's vastly overstayed its welcome.

Was going to wait for these new GPUs as well (got rid of my 6950 a few months ago), but the r9 290 prices were too good to pass up.
Yeah next year seems like the time to wait for on a new GPU.

Nice so not far off.

I would love for it to be $399, but I doubt it'll be that cheap. I'm thinking $599, though it's totally baseless.

Aren't AMD's drivers and multi-GPU support dreadfully bad? That's the only thing really holding me back. Well that and things like Gameworks.

The non-x might be $599 IMO. I've read that HBM is expensive, but nobody knows. June can't get here quick enough.
Yep thats what holds me back as well. I wont be buying AMD because they have terrible driver support. That and I'm attached to Shadowplay.

I've had AMD my entire PC career. Not a fanboy or something I've set out to do on purpose, my wallet just kind of guided me that way. That said, I personally haven't had any driver issues. I do believe they exist for some people but think it's less of an issue nowadays. Plus some NVIDIA users are currently having massive performance drops with the newest GTA V driver that released, which goes to show that it happens to the best of them.

I'm in the market to finally get a new card, so it'll probably be one of these, or a variant thereof.
If I was in the US I'd pick up a 290 or 290x on one of those crazy deals but we don't get good deals in Canada, so I'm just waiting for this instead.
I think there are, and have been for a long time now, plenty of reasons to go with Nvidia rahter than AMD GPUs other than "brand power" -- even if the latter do offer more average FPS/$.
Features-wise AMD hasnt always been able to keep up with Nvidia but with regards to performance and stability, they have about an equal share of problems from my experience.
Realistically, I'd say it'll probably land at $549 or $599 USD just so they can make Nvidia squirm like they did with the 290X. Nvidia has a large stable of Maxwell cards right now, so they'll likely shift prices down on everything but the Titan X if it does land around the same price as the GTX 980.Übermatik;163944229 said:
We do not know the price of the 980Ti yet. With the 960 at $200, 970 at $300-350, we could easily see the 980 drop to ~$450 and then have the 980ti slot in at around $600. I highly doubt AMD will be able to sell their (4gb) 390x for anything less than $700.
The biggest arguements against this are team green's pricing history and the price of the Titan (although, that may drop depending on what AMD does).

What's keeping AMD from charging $600?
Completely agree with you, I have a GTX 770 in one rig and a 7950 in another.
Only thing I'd add is AMD is better with multi-monitors.
290x RRP was $549, 780Ti RRP was $699. And the 780Ti launched after the 290x. You are dreaming if you think the Ti will be cheaper.
NVIDIA. AMD's market is cheap cards that go fast. Without that they have nothing.

This beats a 12Gb Titan, that's all that needs to be said, very impressive for single gpu performance. I don't think Sli figures should be in such benchmarks though.

Gimme that GTX960ti with 3Gb, 256bits bus and dead silent HS for less than 200 bucks or else I will keep my vram starved GTX560ti for another year. I'm serious Nvidia!

$300-$400 or bust

Given how these benchmarks aren't official, nothing can be said of its performance. In fact, benchmark leak threads have to have so much salt in them. Everything is lies.

Unrelated question but I have a 560TI right now and I am looking to upgrade it. What would be the best card under $200?
Dictator93

It depends on what you are looking for. THere is no right answer always, it is more about preferences.
A sad state of affairs.

98% sure these are the exact same old benchmarks reposted every few months. Rumors do point to a June unveiling. I hope AMD comes back strong even though i just bought a 980m GTX laptop.

If it comes out to around $600-$700 and beats out the Titan X, then it will sell like hotcakes. Beating out the 980, 980 Ti and Titan X at a more affordable price will be damn nice. However, I'll just probably add another GTX 970 and beat out all of those cards by themselves .

Serious question, why does any enthusiast looking at high end cards care about power consumption? If I'm buying a ferarri, do I care about gas milage?
Also 20W difference, even if used 24X7 at full capacity over a year, is like $10 in electricity costs.....

4gb on hbm is more than enough and asking for more for games is a little crazy.

Star Citizen uses more than 4Gb at 1080p.

I just need it to play games. My Monitor is 1080p and uses HDMI. I would like it if there was 2 HDMI outputs on it if possible.

Right, so everyone on this board better toss their 980 SLI, 970SLI, 980, 970 rigs in the garbage.

Exactly. Like Lambo's these are "high end" products.
What's the best graphics card to capture footage of your desktop at the highest framerate?
Like 60fps 1080p with several video overlays playing? Possible?
I heard shadowplay has limitations and the games have to be fullscreen.
