AMD Radeon R9 380X has been listed online by two different etailers and a new Fiji XT graphics board has reportedly been certified. The two events have taken place very recently and they signal that the new flagship graphics card may not be too far off.
The first etailer in question is CDON.com and they list two R9 380X cards, one from Asus and one from MSI. CDON.com is a large Swedish etailer and according to videocardz they’ve never actually listed unreleased graphics cards before. Another etailer prisguide.no has also listed R9 390X , R9 380X and R9 370X cards. The listings are most likely place holders for when the cards actually launch which shouldn’t be too long from now.

Before we get into the second piece of interesting news I have to point out that we still don’t know what AMD is going to call the Fiji XT based graphics card. Whether it will be the R9 390X or R9 380X is still up for debate and there are theories to support both but for now we’ll stick to the R9 380X nomenclature.
We’ve reported on the Zauba shipping database leaks of Fiji XT which occurred three times so far. We know the assembly board for the GPU is called C880.
However as it turns out according to videocardz the C880 board hasn’t been certified yet but a new C872 board has gone through and completed the certification process. It’s not clear whether the C872 board is going to house the same Fiji XT GPU, or a cut down Fiji Pro GPU instead.
