Reviews - AMD Radeon 300 series may largely consist of rebrands

Official specs supposedly back the idea that there's a lot of rebranding going on:

Worrying that it looks like they're still selling the 7870 chip in new products - it doesn't support freesync so you're going to increase market confusion and decrease the market size for new monitors.

They are OEM products. It does not mean the actual retail cards will be the same going by what AMD and Nvidia have done in the past.

I think it is highly likely that's how they will shake out though....and that's pretty much what people have been expecting.

Man..... Kinda lame if they're rebranding 7XXX stuff. They better put a good price tag on it if so! I noticed the 390X wasn't listed. Maybe that'll be the main one with any real updates. I'll wait and see before I judge too harshly...
