AMD's Radeon R9 390X ES Performance Numbers Allegedly Leaked - Faster Than The GeForce GTX 980, Consumes 197W in Gaming

Chiphell, a source of many leaks has nevertheless once more posted a nautical chart which might be related to AMD's next generation Radeon R9 390X graphics card. The format used for the chart has appeared at Chiphell forums many occasions such as Kepler's launch, Tahiti's launch and even the near recent Volcanic Islands "Radeon R200" and Maxwell GM204 launch and turned out to be quite authentic in terms of the operation numbers it provided. This time nosotros are looking at alleged performance and power consumption numbers of AMD's side by side powerhouse GPU.

AMD's Next Gen Radeon R9 390X Performance Numbers Allegedly Leaked

Alright, then while I have given my reasons to why I believe these charts to be somewhat accurate, the one we are looking at may not be indicative of the final product as the user who leaked this has mentioned it equally a ES "Preview Sample" which is very much similar the Radeon R9 290X "Hawaii" samples we saw months back during its launch timeframe. One more matter, the name "Radeon R9 390X" isn't actually confirmed for the card beingness shown in the nautical chart, its speculated based on the fact that it is the fastest shown graphics carte du jour in the chart and hence leads to the conclusion that this could be the upcoming "flagship" card from AMD to rival NVIDIA's GM 204 flake architecture. I yet advise to take these charts with a grain of salt since the launch is still a few months abroad in Q1 2022 as reported past several hardware websites but the results shown are really interesting, particularly due to the fact that these are from a early examination sample and final specifications such as clock speeds accept not yet been finalized.

The user posted two charts, the first chart, equally usual, shows average functioning in several gaming titles such as Conflicting Isolation, Assassins Creed: Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Metro Last Light Redux, etc (won't list all the games since the listing is huge). The games were testing across a wide range of graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD at 2560x1440 resolution with IQ settings set up to maximum item (2xSSAA, 4xMSAA, SMAA, FXAA). The test platform included a Intel Core i7-4790 clocked at 3.60 GHz and the drivers used were 344.75 WHQL for NVIDIA cards and Catalyst xiv.11.i BETA for AMD cards.

Coming to the results, I am shocked with the performance increase over Maxwell and the Radeon R9 290X. The alleged Radeon R9 390X has a average performance rating of 65.vi FPS across all titles while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 has a performance rating of 56.six FPS which is a 16% performance increment. The GeForce GTX 780 Ti and Radeon R9 290X finish up with 52.6 FPS and fifty.1 FPS respectively. The user couldn't run a crossfireX testing since he had just one sample onboard with him but the thing I laughed nigh the most is the fact that he has the card labelled every bit "Captain Jack" (from Pirates of the Caribbean). Now this is both funny and interesting, funny since nosotros are talking well-nigh Jack Sparrow over hither, interesting because this is a hint that this could exist the first "Pirate Islands" cards to hit the AMD R 300 series lineup. The results say for themselves, the ES is faster than NVIDIA's offerings but NVIDIA had one thing meliorate than AMD, that was the power consumption. Till at present, we idea AMD'south next card would exist a powerhouse in performance but will stop upwardly with similar ability consumption equally Hawaii.

That'south non the example anymore, AMD seems to take devised a style to make its GCN core much more power efficient. Judging from the second graph, the alleged Radeon R9 390X graphics card has a power consumption beyond games rated at just 197W. This brings it under the 200W category of rival Maxwell parts. The rating is however a bit higher than the GeForce GTX 980 and GTX 970 which take the power numbers rated at 185W and 167W respectively, but given the performance numbers, the menu looks well fabricated. The Radeon R9 290X on the other mitt is a power sipping juggernaut rated at 242W in standard more than and 279W in uber style. Then there's a major deviation in that location. We don't know if its 20nm in works or a similar 28nm technology which Maxwell has adopted past boy practice these numbers await good.

As far as specifications are concerned, nosotros don't really know much near them and the accuracy of recent leaks (even including this one) remains unknown and would only be found out when the cards officially launch. The Radeon R9 390X has gone by several codenames, the most recent one is that information technology is adopting the Fiji XT scrap with some rumored specifications available here along with a high possibility that it may adopt the new HBM VRAM standard. Aside from that, it uses a new cooler which is a modified version of the ane featured on AMD's 295X2 Vesuvius.

Well that'southward all for the leaked information just information technology looks like the battle betwixt both teams is going to be tense. If AMD manages to outperform NVIDIA's Maxwell with their new cards, then NVIDIA will be forced to launch their GM200 cards for consumers in 1H of 2022. We so far have literally no data bachelor on the GM200 and the cards simply from the looks of it, it will exist a whole new series featuring the daddy Maxwell cores.
