AMD Fiji Arrives – Radeon R9 Fury X Details
This week AMD announced nine new graphics cards during E3 2015. At the top of the product stack you have the four entirely brand new cards that are using the Fiji GPU for the very first time. The performance of any card running Fiji is still under NDA until the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X is released on June 24th, but today the embargo lifts on the general features and the architecture of the GPU itself.Read full article @ Legit Reviews
AMD's Radeon Fury X architecture revealed
The Radeon R9 Fury X made its big debut earlier this week at E3, and today, AMD has decided to release most of the rest of the public info about the Fury X card and the new GPU behind it code-named Fiji. I've been attempting to wrap my head around the relevant details of this new video card and graphics processor at the same time. The picture is coming together, and it tells an interesting tale.Read full article @ The Tech Report
CompuLab's Fitlet Is A Very Tiny, Fanless, Linux PC With AMD A10 Micro
Over the past few weeks I've been testing out the CompuLab Fitlet as a neat little Linux PC powered by an AMD A10 Micro-6700T APU with Radeon R6 Graphics. The model I've been testing features 4GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD with the mentioned A10 Micro APU all while being fanless and being smaller than an Intel NUC. The performance out of this tiny computer is quite impressive and reinforces that good things can come out of small packages.Read full article @ Phoronix
Gigabyte X99-Gaming 5P Motherboard Review
Gigabyte has three very distinct motherboard lines in their X99 lineup and offer quite a lot of motherboards compared to most brands. They have their G1 Gaming Series, Overclocking Series, and Ultra Durable series. While the specific motherboards in each category are targeted at a certain type of user, many of their features cross into each category. For example the G1 Gaming series motherboards overclock quite well. Since the X99 chipset has been out for a little while now we are seeing a second wave of motherboards from manufacturers. The X99-Gaming 5P from Gigabyte is one such motherboard and is the replacement for the soon to be retired X99-Gaming 5. Gigabyte has actually added new features to this motherboard to make it even better. Let’s jump in!Read full article @ ThinkComputers.org
Here's a first look at the Radeon R9 Fury X's performance
If you're wondering how AMD's Radeon R9 Fury X stacks up against Nvidia's GeForce GTX 980 Ti, we have a treat for you. We have some average FPS numbers for both cards running a variety of popular games at 4K, and the results are surprising.Read full article @ The Tech Report
HIS IceQ X2 OC Radeon R9 390X?= , R9 390 & R9 380
AMD made great strides back in January of 2012 when it released the first GPU to use the GCN architecture. Codenamed ‘Tahiti XT’ that GPU was the Radeon HD 7970, it was built using 4.3 billion transistors squeezed into a 352 mm2 die. This allowed for 2048 cores and a fill rate of 32 Giga-pixels per second.Read full article @ Legion Hardware
After a long 22 month wait AMD re-released the Radeon HD 7970 as the Radeon R9 280X giving it a familiar codename ‘Tahiti XT2’. Performance wise they were virtually the same. In fact due to a reduction in clock speeds the R9 280X was slightly slower, reducing the fill rate to 27.2GP/s.
The R9 280X did take advantage of the GCN 1.1 upgrades, which included AMD TrueAudio and a revised version of AMD's Powertune technology. The key difference being after 22 months the MSRP dropped from $550 to just $300, a depreciation of just $11 per month.
HyperX Fury 32GB Kit (4x8GB) DDR4 2666MHz CL15 Review
It been a long time since I have reviewed Kingston Memory that was actually overclockable. That was then and this is now. The Kingston HyperX DDR4 Fury line is not only low profile to fit under those pesky low heatsinks but there is room for tweaking.Read full article @ HiTech Legion
MSI R9 380 Gaming 2G Review
I was able to reach an overclock of +148MHz on the Antigua core and 1607MHz on the 2GB of GDDR5 memory for final clock speeds of 1148/1607MHz on the core and memory. Pretty solid results from a mid-range card. Cooling performance was a mixed bag until you see how the Torx fan-equipped Twin Frozr V cooling solution performs its magic. Equipped with a large S-shaped heat pipe along with the several smaller heat pipes, you get excellent cooling at both stock and overclocked settings, along with a nice noise profile that is dead silent during 2D loads.Read full article @ OCC
Nox Xtreme Coolbay CX
The NOX Xtreme Coolbay CX joins the fray of sub 70 euro mATX cube cases - a hard fought-over case segment. It aims to catch your eye with its ability to hold a 280 mm radiator and its built-in card reader. But will that be enough to take away from more specialized or more colorful mATX cases?Read full article @ techPowerUp
NZXT Noctis 450 Review
We review the NZXT Noctis 450 mid-tower PC chassis. A nice design chassis with very nice LED lighting and refined features with the ability to hide your components inside the chassis. Oh well, have a peek at the NZXT Noctis 450. The Noctis hints a little towards the NZXT 'crafted' series of PC cases, for which we were impressed.Read full article @ Guru3D
NZXT has been around for years, building an ongoing reputation with mostly their controversial chassis designs. It all really started with the Guardian chassis years ago and have ever since put numerous chassis designs out on the market. Rising from the ashes of their crafted series is the Phantom 630 full tower chassis, absolutely impressive in many ways as the design is simply great, the features are grand and then the extras still need to kick in. What about a digital fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans?
We have a changing enthusiast PC landscape with features like backplate cut-outs, many water cooling options and digital fan controller. The chassis lends a lot of its looks to the H440 and Phantom 820, a somewhat similar looking chassis with smooth edges and that distinct Phantom front panel design. But a lot is different alright.
PowerColor PCS+ Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 Review
AMD officially took the wraps off of its Radeon R7 and R9 300 series of graphics cards, and disclosed some details regarding the R9 Fury—a.k.a Fiji—during a livestream held near the E3 convention earlier this week.Read full article @ HotHardware.com
Today though, we’ve actually got one of the “new” Radeon R9 300 series cards in-hand for some review and benchmark action. We put “new” in quotes, because the entire R7 and R9 300 series line-up is built around the same GPUs used in the R7 an R9 200 series. The Powercolor PCS+ R9 390 8GB card we’ll be showing you here, for example, features an AMD Hawaii GPU at its heart, similar to the Radeon R9 290...
Radeon R7 370 - R9 380 and R9 390X Review
We review the MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G OC. The card's equipped with that Hawaii GPU, now called Grenada. Thanks to a huge triple slot cooler based on the TwinFrozr V design the product is spinning & purring at just roughly 75 Degrees C, that's under full gaming load. The 2816 Stream processor based Hawaii/Grenada chip will get paired with 8 GB GDDR5 memory running along a 512-bit memory interface. The card itself is fully customized including component selection, custom PCB, custom cooling, well... custom everything! Powered through 8-Pin + 6-Pin power configuration it obviously runs at factory overclocked specifications as well. The card will clock towards 1100 MHz (from 1050 Mhz) with a memory clock at 6100 MHz coming from 6 GHz for the reference product.Read full article @ Guru3D
So to clear up some confusion from the get-go, this product is based on the Hawaii GPU released back in October 2013, the silicon is the same yet with a few tweaks applied the product is now called Grenada, the latest iteration of the asic. It is the very same 6 Billion transistor GPU on that 28nm fab based 438 mm2 Die. Over time the fabrication will however yield better; much like fine wine the latest iterations of the silicon evolve, hence they can now be clocked a notch faster. The memory is tied to a 512-bit memory bus with one distinct difference, you now get 8 GB of graphics memory. That memory is tweaked and clocked a notch faster as well, 6 GHz (effective data-rate) for the reference products, with the MSI model tested today running 6.1 Gbps (GDDR5) memory. The 390X GPU will get a reference clock of 1050 MHz, this MSI SKU is factory clocked at 1100 MHz. So, overall coming from the 290X you should see performance increases running up-to maybe 10% overall, depending on the card you purchase. With the recent focus on Ultra HD gaming, AMD is also marketing that to be pretty significant, hence that 8 GB of graphics memory. It's not new though as there have already been 8 GB SKUs of the 290X available for over a year, let's do mention that as well.
The tweaks on the GPU and memory clocks however seem to be the biggest change, the rest is complimentary from the board partners. As stated, the MSI Radeon R9 390X Gaming 8G OC edition card is tweaked a little better for you, its GPU may run upwards to 1100 MHz with 6100 MHz (effective) on the GDDR5 memory. The all custom PCB with Grenada is being cooled with the new model TwinFrozr V cooler. Since 390X is clocked higher, the GPU needs more voltage, that also means a need for better cooling. The TwinFrozr model cooler is now just over 2 slots wide, but let's call this a three slot cooler. The product remains fairly quiet, in idle / desktop mode the fans won't even spin. You get color lighting options to change the logo to a color of your preference.
Radeon R9 380 Review
MSI's high spec take on the R9 380 gets tested. Earlier this week AMD announced their latest generation of graphics products which started with the high end R9 FURY parts and ended with the value level R7 360 (The 350 and below are already announced OEM parts). Reviews of each part in the family are being staggered, so Fury is “coming soon” but in the mean time we can talk to you about parts such as the R9-380… so lets do that, due to its very attractive price point, using MSIs Gaming 2G version. This is our AMD Radeon R9 380 Review.Read full article @ HardwareHeaven
Radeon R9 390X, R9 390 & R9 380 Review: One last rebadge before unleashing the Fury
It's been three and a half years since AMD made great strides with its first GCN-based GPU. While there have been some notable releases in between, they're essentially rebadges with little to no performance edge over the original. We've been wondering what AMD's next move would be and it looks like the answer is yet another round of rebadged Radeons ahead of the real next-gen release. On hand today is the HIS IceQ X² OC R9 390X, R9 390 & R9 380.Read full article @ Techspot
Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB Graphics Card Review
Graphics card giant, Sapphire, are no strangers to being at the forefront of technology when it comes to AMD graphics cards. Producing some of the best graphics cards in the world, Sapphire push the envelope with cooling designs like the Vapour-X and Tri-X. They have recently signed a worldwide exclusive deal for the AMD FirePro graphics card range which deals with professional users, with this; they can bring the ever-increasing technology to the consumer market to provide us with the best gaming experience possible.Read full article @ eTeknix
Today the highly anticipated AMD R9 300 series released to the public. We have here the Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB. The R9 380 is advertised to perform at the 1440p resolution, so the 4GB should aid in smoother gameplay at the higher quality settings. The R9 380 is essentially a rebadged R9 285 based on the Tonga GPU. The specifications are near identical apart from the clock speeds, AMD tends to be the masters of the rebadging. Could this be a sign of a degrading company or possibly a hint towards putting more effort into new technologies such as HBM. Let’s put our assumptions aside and see if AMD has increased performance, or if Sapphire has improved production to squeeze every last bit of performance out of this card.
