Radeon R7 360 and 370 and R9 380, 390 and 390X
AMD has now officially announced and launched its Radeon 300 series graphics cards as well as the new flagship Fiji GPU based Radeon Fury lineup.
To be available immediately, AMD's new Radeon R9 and R7 300 series graphics cads are pretty much rebrands of AMD's existing Radeon 200 series graphics cards, just with slightly higher clocks.
The new Radeon 300 series lineup starts off with AMD Radeon R9 390X and Radeon R9 390, which are based on Grenada GPU, which is the new codename for a well known Hawaii GPU so these are pretty much rebrands of the Radeon R9 290X and R9 290 graphics cards. Both the R9 390X and the R9 390 will now come with 8GB of GDDR5 memory and pack slightly higher clocks compared to the Radeon R9 290 series graphics cards.
According to AMD, the R9 390 series is designed for great 4K/UHD gaming experience and should offer Nvidia's GTX 970 a good run for its money. The new price for the R9 390X is set at US $429 while the R9 390 will sell at US $329.
The R9 390X will pack 2816 Stream Processors and work at 1050MHz for the GPU with 8GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1500MHz. The Radeon R9 390 on the other hand packs 2560 Stream Processors and works at 1000MHz for the GPU with same 1500MHz for 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Both graphics cards come with a 512-bit memory interface and will have an updated cooler shroud and DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
The next in line is the Radeon R9 380 series, which is based on Antigua GPU, previously known as Tonga Pro GPU, the same one behind the Radeon R9 285 graphics card. According to AMD, this is a perfect graphics card for 1440p gaming at high settings and should directly compete with Nvidia's GTX 960.
Once again, AMD has doubled up the amount of memory, so the R9 380 will be available with 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. In case you missed it earlier, Antigua (Tonga Pro) GPU packs 1792 Stream Processors, and the R9 380 will be clocked at 970MHz for the GPU and 1375MHz for the memory. We also expect AMD to announce the Antigua XT based R9 380X sometime in future. The price of the R9 380 is set at US $199.
The Radeon R7 370 is based on Trinidad GPU, previously known as the Pitcairn GPU, this is the oldest GPU in the lineup as it was used on Radeon HD 7800 series. The R7 370 packs 1024 Stream Processors and will be coming with 4GB of GDDR5 memory. It works at 975MHz for the GPU with 1425MHz clocked memory.
According to AMD, the R7 370 should go directly against Nvidia's GTX 750 Ti graphics card and will have a suggested retail price of US $149.
The last graphics card in the new Radeon 300 series lineup is the Radeon R7 360 series based on a well known Bonaire Pro GPU with 768 Stream Processors, now known as the Tobago. It will work at 1050MHz for the GPU and come with 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1625MHz and paired up with a 128-bit memory interface. This one will be priced at US $109.
As noted, the entire AMD Radeon 300 series should be available as of tomorrow, June 18th, while Fiji GPU based graphics card lineup should come later.
