Early performance reports show that it would end up faster than the
GeForce Titan which is the absolute best GK110 card you can get at the
moment for a price of $1000 US while its little brother GeForce GTX 780
which is not far behind the Titan itself can be bought for $649 US. AMD
has already mentioned that they are not aiming to price their Hawaii GPU
in the Ultra High-End Enthusiast range such as their Radeon HD 7990 or
their rival’s NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan / GeForce GTX 690 which launched
at $999 though the Radeon HD 7990 got a price drop to $799 recently. If
true, we will be looking at a price range of around $599 for the top
tier Hawaii GPU (XT Variant) while the Pro variant would retail for
$449-$499 US.

You might notice that AMD hasn’t released their previously showcased Ruby tech demo although
it was announced a while back. Ruby is a key icon for the AMD Radeon
graphics department and AMD want’s to mark her return in style. For this
purpose, AMD would be showcasing a live technical demonstration of
their nextgen Ruby powered by CryEngine 3 during the Hawaii GPU
announcement. Ofcourse, the card would be running the demo which is a
similar approach to what NVIDIA has been doing over the recent years
showcasing their GeForce products capabilities with Epic games Unreal
Engine.
Just a few moments back, our friends at Videocardz did
an exclusive leak regarding the Oland XT and Oland Pro cards which are
part of the Volcanic Islands family, you can see them here.
If the leaked R9-290X Hawaii GPU PCB is legit and the GPU is indeed
coming at a price of around $600 US then AMD may truly have a Titan
killer in their hands. Stay tuned for more information!
