Following the recent introduction of the new Radeaon 300 series of graphics cards and the flagship, HBM-enabled Radeon R9 Fury X during the E3 game show, AMD is now official launching details about the new 360, 380 and 390 models, which are product refreshes based on existing AMD GPUs. AMD is also officially announces the Radeon R9 Fury X, which will be launching next week, and the R9 Fury (vanilla), coming on July 14th. The Radeon R9 Fury series will use AMD's newest flagship GPU, Fiji. The new GPU is the first to use the high bandwidth memory, which not only gives AMD more VRAM bandwidth than ever before, but it outright changes how GPUs video cards are constructed.

Being released today are five new cards from AMD's partners, which will form the backbone of the Radeon 300 series from $109 to $429. The AMD 300 series represents AMD's 3rd generation of retail 28nm products and includes the R7 360, R7 370, and R9 380 models.

These are refresh products based on existing AMD GPUs. The only new GPU AMD is launching for desktop video cards is Fiji for the Fury parts.

As you see above, the R7 360 is a cut-down Bonaire based card featuring 12 of Bonaire's 14 CUs active, for a total of 768 SPs. AMD has turned up the GPU and memory clockspeeds slightly, from 1000MHz/6Gbps on R7 260 to 1050MHz/6.5Gbps on R7 360. With an MSRP of $109, it will be a drop-in replacement for the R7 260 from an MSRP standpoint.

Up next is the Radeon R7 370, which is based AMD's Pitcairn GPU. This one is essentially a rework of the R7 265, AMD's cut-down 16 CU (1024 SP) Pitcairn card in the 200 series.

Compared to the R7 265, the R7 370 sees a 5% GPU clockspeed bump, up from the R7 265's 925MHz. Memory speeds remain unchanged at 5.6Gbps.

The R7 370 is a GCN 1.0 GPU, meaning it lacks all of the feature updates and optimizations that have come since then. It doesn't offer support for Freesync or True Audio, decoding any video over 1080p, nor does it possess performance optimizations. It's also the only GPU in the 300 series lineup not to support DirectX 12 feature level 12_0.

The R7 370 will be offered by AMd's partners with both 2GB and 4GB configurations.

The R9 380 is based on AMD's Tonga GPU, AMD's first GCN 1.2 GPU, and is the descendant of the R9 285.

The card has seen a spec bump compared to its predecessor. The boost clock is up by about 6% from 918MHz to 970MHz, and the memory clock is up 4% from 5.5Gbps to 5.7Gbps. In addition, compared to the R9 285 the TBP of the R9 380 holds at 190W.

The base MSRP for the R9 380 is $199 is for the 2GB card, while you can expect to see 4GB cards for $220-$240.

Last but not least among the numbered 300 series stack are the R9 390 and R9 390X. These two cards are based on AMD's Hawaii GPU, previously used for the R9 290 series.

As you see above, the R9 390X and R9 390 are successors to R9 290 and R9 290X, with the former being a higher clocked part with all 44 CUs (2816 SPs) enabled, while the latter is lower clocked with 40 CUs (2560 SPs) enabled.

But AMD has cranked up both the GPU and memory clockspeeds. The R9 390 sees its boost clockspeed go from 947MHz to a flat 1000MHz. AMD has also increased the memory clockspeeds from 5Gbps to 6Gbps.

Both of the 390 series cards have been labeled with a typical board power of 275W.

AMD's MSRPs for the 390 series is $329 for the R9 390 and $429 for the R9 390X.

AMD Radeon Fury X Benchmarks

The Radeon Fury X "reviewer’s guide", which includes information about a product send to reviewers for performance evaluation, includes some impressive internal benchmarks showing AMD’s new Fiji-based flagship video card edging out Nvidia’s recently released 980 Ti.

Could that mean that the Fury X should be put it on a level playing field with the Titan X? Well, we cannot be sure, at least before we go hands on with the new review sample of the new graphics card.

Let’s get to the benchmarks, which were conducted in AMD’s labs. You can click on any image below for a larger view.

Below you see the 3DMark’s Firestrike Ultra benchmark with Ultra setting enabled. As yo uare seeing the Fury X gets a score of 3818 against Nvidia’s 980 Ti.

Below you see the actual game results (FPS), and despite the fact that some of the games have been Nvidia optimized, the Fury X pulls a bit further away, possibly due to the 4GB of High-Bandwidth Memory onboard.
