That's completely stupid at this point. But there's a reason here. We're paying the price of GCN being basically the same architecture from the very first HD 7000s, which came out in 2012. The only changes we see are from the first generation GCN to the second, and also from Polaris to Vega. Polaris is basically the same refined arch as the 200 series, except less power hungry. I didn't understand why they previously dropped support for up to GCN 3, when in fact GCN 3 and GCN 4 are on par feature wise, and the r9 390x just beats the 480, let alone the Radeon fury series with HBM memory!
Depends massively on the game and VRAM used. 390X / 580 / Fury non X trade blows depending on game.
