The 390 series from AMD offer great future proofing for upcoming game titles such as Star Wars Battlefront, DOOM, Half Life 3 and Fall Out 4. Featuring DirectX 12 support and 8GB of memory makes the 390 series great for current and future games at resolutions upto 4k.
The AMD R9 390 8GB features the latest GCN (graphics core next) architecture from AMD with 2560 stream processing units and an enhanced engine clock of up to 1010Mhz. It is equipped with 8GB of the latest high performance GDDR5 memory on a 512-bit interface and now clocked at 1500 MHz (6GHz effective) delivering higher bandwidth than earlier models.

Never seen as many armchair investors and people rabidly loyal to 2 companies that wouldn't give 2 **** about you than when there is an AMD vs Nvidia "argument" on the internet. If you take a side you are a moron, full stop.
This card is great, so is Nvidias offering on this level, you are all arguing over an average 10fps gap nearly all of the time.
HEAT ADDED, and grow up!

The guy can't wait to start paying more for gpu's that only get about 1 year of driver support before losing performance.
Imagine if there were no AMD cards to compare performance with? How would we tell if the 1-2 year old Nvidia cards are slower due to lack of driver optimizations or hardware? The kepler cards were slower in Witcher 3 compared to their AMD equivalents and initially Nvidia just said it was because they were old hardware. Eventually they were forced to accept that the drivers were holding them back. Thank AMD cards comparisons for that.
The AMD 390 8GB is the best buy at this price and a bit faster than a GTX 970. For DX12 the 390 rivals the more expensive GTX 980.

Nivida plays dirty but im no fan boy to either brands, anyone thinking of buying a card right now, i would recommend amd just because of the performance boost with DX12.

Dirt rally is a great game.
This GPU is faster than the more expensive Nvidia GTX970 and has 4.5 GB more Vram. Not as power efficient but a clear leader when it comes price/performance at this price.

The 970 has 4GB VRAM...
Not sure why you enter most GPU deals to bash NVIDIA. They don't have 80% of the market for being crap.

4.5 GB more full speed GDDR5 VRam. That's a fact.
How can I be dissing them if I am pointing out the truth?
If they had 4GB Vram I would have stated that. Still massive amounts more for a better performing lower priced GPU.
Also, 80% of the PC GPU sector, yes Nvidia do - I wouldn't care if it was 10% or 90%. Makes no difference to me.
How about the overall gaming sector including consoles. Way over 90% market share to AMD I believe.

At this level, definitely, the 390/x is let loose without the DX11 driver overhead.

There's no denying the 3.5 + 5 VRAM situation with the 970, but this having 8GB shouldn't be a selling point unless you're going CFX, for gaming.
