AMD was forced into aggressive discounts last year to compete, but this year the company has been competitive at the upper end of the high-performance GPU market and has therefore felt less pressure to reduce prices. Something we haven’t seen a lot of this year has been price cuts. Nvidia could also return fire with a dual-GPU monster of its own. Before moving on, AMD will release a dual-GPU version of the Fury X which should become the Fury X2. Thus far, the larger 8GB memory buffer has proven to be of little benefit, so we prefer the cheaper 290s anyway.Īt this point, it looks like AMD and Nvidia have finally squeezed the most out of the 28nm design process. Yes, the Radeon R9 390X and 390 received double the VRAM, but they are essentially the same GCN 1.1 GPUs - 290X and 290, respectively. Some of you are probably shouting that the 390X and 390 are new as well.
