~110W might be hitting the default (0%) power limit. I remember others reporting about a similar power consumption.
If it's 390 performance only I wonder if it's worth it for me to upgrade.
Yea I have no idea when AIB cards will be out. I'm pretty sure it's a decent amount better than my current card.I have a 7950, and plan on upgrading. Although I think I will wait for AIB cards. A 390X is a noticeable amount faster than Tahiti.

Yea I've never over clocked it. Didn't really need to as long as I've used it.If it's 390 level performance then you should get an increase in performance of about 40%. If it's 390X level performance then the increase should be about 50%.
This is of course assuming that you haven't overclocked your 7970 GHz.

The link eventually redirects to AMD's webpage.
I think at this point, most of us are just having fun with rumors and speculation, don't take it too seriously.Where is everyone getting ~390 perf from?
Was it the Steam VR test or all those gameplay videos with weird settings?
I just want to be clear 390=5.1 Tflops RX 480= 5.8 Tflops ,are people really suggesting 12% decrease in perf/flop from Hawaii so casually?
Am I the only one that thinks that's ludicrous?
This isn't a hype train it's a hype rollercoaster,every hour the 480 goes from being 390 level to FuryX and back again.
While we don't know the exact performance yet but even if it is just ~390-390x level as soon as the 230$ RX 480 is available I think most others (hawaii and 970) would mostly be irrelevant from a new buyer's perspective,be it VRAM (8G vs 3.5 effective),power consumption,ports or some better features.
Also AMD should release rx470 as soon as possible as it could be even better value for most buyers. Effectively they would have no competition until gp106 drops off(and is competitive at comparable by price/perf and other metrics).

We need some catfood bets to really make it fascinating.
Yea I'm just going by what everyone's been speculating here. I hope it is more because I will be giving my card away soon. For $250 can't go wrong in getting one and waiting for Vega.Something would have had to go extremely wrong with Polaris if it's only getting 390 performance.
It has 90% of the shaders at 126.66% of the clock speed. Ignoring the differences in memory for time being we should see a ~13% performance improvement over the 390 when we're not bottlenecked by the memory or some other aspect of the hardware that's cut back.
Meh, I really don't have anything riding on the success of this card. If it's good enough, I'll buy it. If it's not, I'll buy the 1070. The 1070 is more expensive but it'll probably last a bit longer. I try not to think about any of that though because it's so much more fun to get riled about about baseless speculation.
That was my thought too until I did some digging around and found out they won't support it for long term. It may be great now but I guarantee I won't be able to use it for 4+ years like my current card. Nvidia path seems to be upgrade often for best results.Meh, I really don't have anything riding on the success of this card. If it's good enough, I'll buy it. If it's not, I'll buy the 1070.

LOL I didnt expect RX480 to feature 32 ROPs only. Wasnt that their bottleneck with fiji?
If this trend continue expect Vega to be 16 ROPs with 20 TFLOPs compute powa XD
Fiji was not ROP bottlenecked, it is front-end bottlenecked.

Technically every GPU is rop bottlenecked sometimes.
But yeah, fiji is probably held back more by other things.
If history repeats itself, the 1070 will get progressively slower as time moves on. nVidia has no interest in updating drivers for older cards.
Well yes, but for Fiji that is essentially in certain 4K+ resolution corner cases... for most people, under most conditions it will not be ROP-bottlenecked.
We'll have to wait for reviews to see where the bottleneck for Polaris will be. There are always tradeoffs in chip design.
