970 is noticiable faster than your 7970. There really isnt better card for price wise. Only option for you is then to wait AMD new offerings, there will be 380X aswell, which is probably updated 290X.

You are expecting too much, and 7970 is more worth than 100 euro, it goes about 150€ in here (custom models). 37% is very nice upgrade, not to mention you can get any 970 to around 1500 core easily with OC (then it would atleast over 50% upgrade).

The 380X is rumored to be a rebranded 290X. This would offer the same performance as a 970, only louder and hotter. There are reports of 290X cards throtteling at stock speed.
Unless you are ready to spend 500€ for a 390X, don't expect anything interesting from AMD soon.

380X will be rebranded junk, but 390X looks interesting. oh and i don't know where you pulled your 500 EUR number from, but according to very reputable top German tech site 390X price will start at 700USD/EUR (probably 800-900USD/EUR for 8GB water cooled model).
| Quote: | | Probably only the fastest two variants R9 390 and 390X will be fitted with particularly fast Stack Memory (HBM). Both cards will also be significantly more expensive than the other models. The Radeon R9 390 will cost 700 US dollars, the Radeon R9 390X is stated as "700+" on the price list we saw. Regarding the performance AMD assigns both cards between the Radeon R9 290X and the lightning-fast dual-GPU card Radeon R9 295X2. [...] According to our information, the Radeon R9 380X will cost $ 400, the R9 380 is given as $ 330. Both cards are to be faster than the Radeon Radeon R9 290. The 370 will cost $ 200 and will be between the Radeon R9 270X and the R9 285 in terms of performance, the 150 US dollar R7 360X is at the level of the Radeon R7 265. The entry-level card Radeon R7 360 costs 110 US dollar, the power should lie between the R7 250X and 260X cards. |

Don't go apeshit over rumors. Let AMD release the official information about pricing, performance, models etc. instead of acting on rumors and guesses.

yeah but people thinking 390X will be 500EUR are living in a fantasy world. AMD isn't charity.

I seem to recall some top AMD guy saying they are hoping to do something about their low marketshare when talking in the context of the 390X... It could mean they think their GPU is really good, but I hope it was a hint towards more aggressive pricing. Of course, with them silly Nvidia Titans "aggressive pricing" does not need to equal "low", if they can compete on that level.

Well I'm full on in GPU buying mode now, I think I'll buy a new one in the coming month. GTX 970 is obviously the prime candidate. The R9 380X rumours are bothering me though. Apparently it's supposed to beat the GTX980, or even a GTX980Ti. Is that for real? I wish we had some proper fucking info.

No one knows. It might, it might not. It might also just be a 290(X) rebrand. We won't know until it's out

Why? If AMD bringt a 390X with only 4Gb VRAM and it costs 500-600€ and a 8Gb version which costs 700-800€, then whats your problem?
Only question is if they want to do that at all... |
My guess is that 390 is the 4GB model, and its close to 390X performancewhile being around 500 dollars (like 290 vs 290X). 390X is the watercooled extreme derp edition and will cost near Titan X price.

Like always, there are some good and some bad news. The good news is that we finally have DeviceID confirmation for some of these cards. The bad news is that most of them are rebrands.
Just remember we’re interpreting this data our own way, you can download this driver yourself and compare DeviceID with older products. Here’s our conclusion. |

I don't understand the silence by AMD. Isn't it a bit stupid? All they have to do is release some info showing how they'll bitchslap the 970GTX for a similar price, people will most likely hold off buying a GTX970 :S
A pessimistic man might think they already know they're fucked by the 970, so they're being mysterious just to fool people into waiting (for shit).

Rebrands are usually not meant to "cheat" customers, it's to keep cards in a certain performance and/or price segment as the older generation is phased out. However, the nV/AMD-competition has created survival-tactics (remember the G80 which was with us for ~4 generations or more (the shrink called G92 included) ?) and AMD being an underdog since nVidia is a LOT bigger when it comes to corporate economy, market power etc. has to survive somehow.
For years ATI went with the "price/performance"-strategy to gain market shares (which they did) but it was ultimately unsustainable when AMD took over. When the 69xx-series and especially the 79xx-series came they put hefty price tags on them, following nVidias strategy. Unfortunately for AMD, nVidia turned around and used a little of ATI's old strategy.

@Mister_s AMD are always this quiet. They rarely respond to shit like this.
As for whatever that person thinks they found, AMD tend to add newer chips with old device IDs for testing purposes, it's not indicative of whether it's actually a rebrand until the final driver comes out. To me, this rebranding wouldn't make sense; 270 -> 370 according to him; which means that AMD has to fill 370X, 380, 380X, 390, 390X with Curaçao XT (or Pitcairn if you want to stick to that name), Tonga Pro+XT, Hawaï Pro+XT, Fiji Pro+XT. Means something's gonna left out, which doesn't make much sense. We'll just have to wait and see.

I think my GPU might be doing loud sounds even without touching anything from it (or even my tower).
The tower is a Thermaltake Core V71 and the GPU a GIGABYTE GTX 970 4GB G1 Edition.
The front fans of the TT tower are cold while the top and back ones are either templated going to warm (nothing burning ofcourse). In the past i've used to vary up between the tower's LOW and HIGH fan speed but not hearing any sound/speed differences between these two now? Oo..I don't think i've made a bump to the tower nor anything.
About the Fan Speeds, in AIDA64,these are,in RPM:
CPU: 1636 (Lowest for Thermaltake Frio OCK)
Chassis: 850~
GPU: 1835~
While the GPU is at 57C and CPU 50C
I haven't touched the insides of my tower after the release and install of my GPU
EDIT: Is it normal or do i have to check things from the fans or connectors?.I can even smell the heat of the tower from here (it's under the table i work at) and even whenever i push HIGH or LOW for the fan i notice a little variation in speed at the back of the case's fan, meaning they should still work
Maybe it's the GPU's loud noise?
