GIGABYTE introduced a pair of custom-design Radeon R9 390 series graphics cards based on its new 2-slot WindForce 2X cooling solution, the R939WF2-8GD (R9 390) and the R939XWF2-8GD (R9 390X). The two are essentially the company's R9 390 series G1.Gaming products without the factory-overclock. Both cards are identical to their G1.Gaming siblings in every other way, except the branding and box-art. The two cards stick to AMD reference clock speeds, and offer 0 dBA idle cooling. The two should be cheaper than the G1.Gaming products.

Even reference 390s are running around $330. For a 25Mhz clock up that is at the same price, I doubt Giga is gonna drop the prices much. Although if they do it, competitors might too. Would be nice to see them get closer to $300.

I find it interesting Gigabyte on this lineup are doing Dual fan versions of the cards. I love the non-reference display output choices more than anything, almost makes me want to buy a fourth one just for that (Meaning CFX a 390X into my trio of 290X's)!
