Who told you it had? Its the exact same card as 290X, besides the memory amount and clocks.
If you want HDMI 2.0 you are going to need one of those DP to HDMI 2.0 converters that will be out around Q3 or Q4.
Who told you I'd the exact same card? It may well be, but we don't know yet.
why not show us the numbers? you are that sure right? you do have the numbers?Its not like the cards aint in peoples hands by now. So lets just drop the wishful hopes.
Look at page 34 it's all there.
Product Description : DD RADEON R9 290X 1000M 8GB D5 DP HDMI 2XDVI
Wow so you're extrapolating from an Online web description from NCIX about a 290X to a Printed Label on a Best Buy shelf for a 390X. Ok. Good for you if you're right but hardly conclusive.

There we go. Good catch!
HDMI 1.4a means I'm not buying this card. The least amd could've done was upgrade hdmi to 2.0. It is 2015 not 2013. They had almost 2 years to bump the specs.

Better? Its the official XFX product description.
Wouldn't say they ignored them. I'm seeing G3D were the ones that said they'd get review samples after a set date. Possible what was told to the other sites. Except G3D didn't jump on Twitter or write an article about it.
HDMI 2.0 isn't even labelled on the box anywhere as well.

No fury leaks, rebadged cards with hopefully slightly improved TDP, upset press sites about not getting review samples ahead of launch....
Unless AMD is trolling everyone, which would be stupid in its own way, it's clear that these launches are going to be ho hum. No one knows anything about Fury yet so I guess there is still hope because holding cards so close to your chest means either the perf/$ on the high end won't change, or AMD has got a grand slam and wants to spring it on Nvidia before Nvidia can react with price cuts.
As far as the rest of the rebadged series is concerned, AMD should stop being coy about the rebadged. Instead own up to it, tout whatever (small) improvements there might be, and hammer home the perf/$ metric. A slightly faster Hawaii with 2x the vram and aftermarket coolers at $379-399 will review very well against the $500 5% faster gtx980. Why can't AMD do something right at a GPU launch?? 7970 was meh at launch for a $550 next gen high end, 290x reviewed like a gtx 480 without a clear advantage, and Tonga had less vram and traded blows with the cheaper 7950...
damn, so much misinformation, I would consider the entire post to be trolling.No fury leaks, rebadged cards with hopefully slightly improved TDP, upset press sites about not getting review samples ahead of launch....

is that all you got? resorting to labeling now? produce some numbers/benchmarks to back it up.I am more surprised that the proAMD folks are still cheering as all this is playing out. Its bizarre.
The 300 series will be launched in three days and there are no review samples out.
They will get Fiji after the event and i've read that reviews will be posted a week later.
it will show performance benchmarks. just like the 200 series show. it is what we need to finally stop the stupid rumors.I thought there is no release date announced for 300 series and that E3 event is just for that purpose [specs, price and date]?
Really?
And you still are in doubt.
Before hdmi advanced their standard, it was just HDMI.
If it doesn't specifically say hdmi2.0 on the box, if it only says HDMI........
I thought there is no release date announced for 300 series and that E3 event is just for that purpose [specs, price and date]?
aha, why would there be no reviews?The rebrands are in stores right now. We will get specs and prices for them but it looks that there wont be reviews...

AMD going underground and sticking it to the media. Yeah, I can't see how people think this is great.
I really hate the idea that all these cards are looking to be straight rebrands. Sticking it to the media, that's how they plan on getting marketshare back up?
I can't say 100% that this will turn out bad for them, but scares the crap out of me.
I guess the stay calm "campaign" is in full force.
I am having a real hard time with that. This is really looking terrible to me.
In summary, the entire reveal/launch is a complete failure before it ever happened and before we have seen a single review of any card. Brilliant post.No fury leaks, rebadged cards with hopefully slightly improved TDP, upset press sites about not getting review samples ahead of launch....
