You could make the same argument for the 980/980 Ti. Regardless to that, I'm more interested to see what performance gains come with that huge power spike.
they used a msi 390x which has the highest tdp of all 390x. doesnt mean much.

Orrrr msi has their voltage too high. As logic would suggest. I figured power usage would go up with async usage because more computations more power usage, however the using the msi model with known crazy high power usage had to have some purpose.You don't think a 50% increase in power consumption means much? Take your favorite 390x's power consumption and add 40-50%, that's what it will be doing with async compute. Either that or they will hit power limits which will also limit performance.
I'm done with Fiji. You can release this at 500. I'm not touching Fiji.One of our missing pro-AMD historical posters. of which I completely agreed with him. This card is beyond late. And now with that price tag, it's like AMD doesn't want to sell their products. I say give it two months or less before it gets a price cut.
(Although I might be off by citing November, was possibly December).
Love the name, the design (if I ever owned one I'd rock it with the shroud off), but that price. Woof.
I recall few posters saying @$1000 it's DoA and this was back in like November. Isn't this a paper launch with actual sales not for another 1-2 months?
EDIT:
MOther of God, how have I not seen this before? Is this graph relatively new?
EDIT #2:
Found the THG article this is from, but without DX11 performance number, the power consumption means jack to me.
I thought Hawaii was a pig, DX12 Hawaii is a freaking boar!
"While the Radeon R9 Fury X adheres to its power limit, the Radeon R9 390X under DirectX 12 blows through the roof compared to DirectX 11. Its 100W-higher power consumption with asynchronous compute activated may be okay when you consider the 20 percent performance increase, but it's just marginally less with this option deactivated, despite significantly lower framerates."
Ah, thanks for that. What I get for not reading the actual articles and just looking for DX11 numbers.
Definitely not worth flipping the DX12 switch for that configuration.
The MSI R9 390X consumes 113W more,or nearly a 50% increase,over a Powercolor R9 390 and that is in a DX11 game.
This has been known since last year.
It is highly overvolted and anytime the card is put under any heavy load(like Metro Last Light) power consumption skyrockets.

Has anyone tested power consumption of a normal 390x in Ashes dx12 with async compute?
If you have a hard time to grasp what everyone tries to tell you, do this simple test.
Set your bios to default, run some CPU benchmark and measure Power consumption.
Go to bios, and downlock your CPU to half the speed it runs on default. Change the voltages to 0.15V more than your default voltage.
Run the same CPU benchmark and measure power consumption.
Results?
On default CPU had higher score in benchmark than when it was downclocked and consumed less power than the downclocked one. The same CPU was faster and used less power. Magic!
Do you put the little stickers on your case? Cute.

Yes, I said that the Lepa and Enermax would run any load... Oh wait?
Because my pc is a pc not an advertisement for Intel amd and Nvidia etc.Never understood the hate for case stickers. My old laptop, I left the nVidia/Intel stickers and added a Samsung SSD one. This laptop, I took off the energy star, g-sync and HDMI stickers, but left the gtx970 and Intel i7 ones (pny SSD didn't come with a sticker ). My last desktop I had Gigabyte, Seasonic, Intel and AMD stickers on.

I had two Lepas out of 3 that failed. The last one was shutting off when pulling 900-1000watts. I RMAed it and sold it. I will never touch that PSU again. It is also poorly rated on newegg, and I would agree with those rating.
Just bought an EVGA SuperNova 1600 T2. It is night and day with the Lepa. I don't need to scratch my had to try to balance the load accross each rail. The rail are also really poorly made on the Lepa / Enermax units.
One of the accessories bags contains these little doodads. What are they? Well, this power supply has a feature called "OCK," or "overclocking key." Basically, it's a way to disable the multi-rail overcurrent protection in the unit. You're not actually overclocking something. You can either use the little jumper on the left to permanently disable OCP, or plug in the expansion bay switch so that you can switch it on and off at will.
Folks, I'm telling you right now... this is a 1200 watt unit. Enough power to just about arc weld with. Try it with the multi-rail on first. Only use these doohickeys if the unit keeps shutting down on you no matter what cable combo you use.
See, this is why the "single 12V is better" thing is a myth. Sometimes, the bigger units of that ilk don't shut down when they should. They have too much current capacity. That's why my mining rigs are all running multi-rail when possible, even though they all have up to six video cards. If you plug things in right, and the power supply was designed correctly, you should never have an issue with multi-rail OCP shutting the unit down on you. But I've ranted enough about that before... I don't feel like getting into it again.
That is your opinion ( and also mine but I also respect others opinions).
Do you remove your car logos because you believe it is advertisement?

I simply made a statement that I preferred multi rail for the added OCP and I get the, "Multi rail is garbage" type of response out of nowhere. Then I get the anecdotal evidence presented to make a case against multi rail when none of it was solicited. I wasn't suggesting multi rail to anyone else where it required a debate over the benefits and shortcomings of each design.
Sorry, mate that you got dragged in.
No, it started when you wrote that the 295X2 had a problem with multi-rail psus that it was a defect or some sort of assumption. When it was pointed out that that had more to do with not doing it right, that's when you went full tilt on multi-rail pwns choo, hyperbole yar...
Um... no.
I was saying it was because it draws way over spec from the 8 pin connectors that it would trip some PSU's OCP.
