Looks nice. So how about the windforce X3 cooler?

I'm so happy that vendors are making the fans stop at low temperatures in most new cards. Now we don't need to pay a premium on an Asus Strix to get the feature.

The real question is how often that 390 will fall into passive level temps.

That feature-list is a bit barebones. No mention of memory bandwidth or the number of shaders and stuff like that? Speed and amount of vram alone doesn't show the whole picture.

yes, i wonder if the 2 fans will be able to cool the 390 properly?

Less, bigger fans = better.

Is the Gigabyte R9 380 G1 Gaming out? It's out of stock on Newegg and NCIX.

Are there any formal reviews out for this card yet? The Gigabyte version is one of the very few versions of the 390 that will fit in my case.

Nope, I asked customer support and they said the Gigabyte R9 300 G1 Gaming series will come out in mid-july. I'd keep an eye out this week and order it fast as they said it sells very quickly.

Reboot / sleep issue is real. Cannot turn off my pc without PSU kill switch.

Hopefully this is just a driver issue, but if not resolved, will return for another brand.

Performance, this card chews through any game at ultra 1080p. I recommend the 390 for price / performance from a single card that won't break the bank... just not the gigabyte version.
