AMD is apparently in the process of creating a pair of new graphics cards for release imminently; the AMD Radeon R9 280 and the AMD Radeon R9 265, with release dates rumoured to be as soon as tomorrow for the R7 265 to arrive.
First up is the Radeon R9 280. Originally expected to launch alongside the R9 280X, the card was reportedly delayed after the demand from Bitcoin miners saw AMD GPUs in extremely short supply...
The AMD R7 265
The R9 280 is essentially going to be a rebranded Radeon HD 7950, in comparison to the R9 280X’s Radeon HD 7970 equivalent. It is set to feature a Tahiti Pro GPU with 1792 Stream Cores and packing 3GB of onboard GDDR5 memory. In line with the HD 7950 it’s expected to be clocked at 850MHz with a boost speed of 925MHz and a 384-bit interface. The expected price point is reportedly going to be around $250.
Next up is the new mid-range Radeon R9 265, a new Pitcairn-based card that is a rebranding of AMD’s Radeon HD 7850. It’ll have 1024 shader processing units, the same 2GB of GDDR5 memory and a 256-bit interface with a core speed of 860MHz. The expected price point for this card is around the $150 range, with it reportedly arriving in stores as soon as tomorrow.
Finally, for GPU enthusiasts, a dual Hawaii graphics card is also expected in June of this year, sporting a Radeon R9 290X2. This will be AMD’s first dual-GPU card in the R200 series and we would expect this little puppy to truly break the bank when it arrives.
Thinking about picking either of these cards up?
Could the R9 265 become the mid-range card of choice?
Let us know below!
