Opinions on R9 390 (non-X) for 1200p

[escrow4]

Currently have a 780 Ti GHz and have had enough of Nvidia being shifty. I won't be upgrading for a while but I'm not spending another $1K on a 980 Ti that will die just like Kepler once Pascal hits plus AAA titles are drying up year on year anyway - this year on this card I played Dying Light, V and Witcher III plus the upcoming Fallout 4 - a $1K for that meh.

So, moaning aside, how will a 390 fare at 1200p High-ish settings with a 5930K @ 3.7GHz and 16GB of RAM backing it? PSU is a 1000w FSP Aurum. Needs to be as close to 60FPS as possible. Choices are the G1 Gaming from Gigabyte for $499 or the Sapphire Tri X Nitro for $529 (not fabled mythical USD prices :hmm

According to review charts, you'd gain a good ~5 FPS with 390 over 780Ti... I really don't think it's worth it.

wait for fury x oc vs 980 ti oc numbers like I am. should be soon. and the new drivers are crazy good.

 

[Elixer]

Yeah, not worth it, that is more like a sidegrade than anything else.
Maybe the Fury (non-x) will be in your price range, it is supposed to launch sometime today it seems.

 

[escrow4]

Sidegrade maybe but the VRAM will help and I doubt the R9 Fury non X will be worth it, the X here is $1K. We'll see but not that interested in spending a pile for a small amount of games.

but the VRAM will help

not at your resolution it wont

It depends, in some NV GW games like Witcher 3, Kepler tanks badly and the R390 will spank it. If you run with HairWorks and AMD's x16 Tessellation override, you're basically getting HairWorks for a very small performance hit, unlike Kepler which loses heaps of performance. 280X is = 780Ti...

But definitely wait for normal Fury, its coming tomorrow apparently. See how it stacks up with the 15.7 drivers and hopefully vcore mod tools will be available soon.

You need to post a benchmark with the Kepler driver fix. It gets like 15/20% more performance. the 780ti ghz will run most if not all games just fine at his resolution.
Get the OP a tissue ,he will be fine.

Latest bench with updated patches. Default CC, no Tessellation override.

EDIT #3: HAHA NVM, just realize you probably weren't talking about the G1 980. Whoops!

I'd just not upgrade for a while. A 390 won't be a noticable upgrade. Especially at 1200p

If you play the witcher 3 set physX to cpu in the nvidia control panel, kepler doesn't like graphics and compute at the same time.

That's a sidegrade more than an upgrade, even if it's likely your 780 Ti will fall further behind the 390 as AMD releases incremental improvements. An interesting side effect of their strategy of sticking with iterations of GCN vs changing designs.

Your situation is pretty much what RussianSensation talks about all the time... unless you need flagship level performance you're better off buying in the $200-300 range and upgrading down the road.

A Radeon 390 costs a hell of a lot less than a 780 Ti did. Knowing how quickly the 780 Ti became "obsolete" I'm inclined to just wait until 14nm/16nm/whatever/whenever the next process shrink happens.

The reason people in GENERAL post gamegpu a lot is because they test a lot of games with a WIDE range of gpus and will test updates....

It has nothing to do with fanboyism on either side, it's simply because gamegpu.ru tests so many games on so many cards and if I'm not mistaken they purchase their own cards too.
