AMD Announces Radeon R9 Fury Graphics Card

AMD Announces Radeon R9 Fury Graphics Card

AMD officially announces the non X model of the Radeon R9 Fury Graphics Card. The card has a Fiji Pro GPU. Today is the announcement of the 2nd fastest Fiji GPU . Only two partners will make the card, Sapphire and ASUS.

Radeon R9 Fury uses the Fiji Pro GPU, and it is literally a beast as it is still based on a 28nm fabrication node, that means a chip just over the size of 5 x 5cm. There's lots of good stuff going on inside that chip as, the memory you guys all know as GDDR5 typically has been seated on the graphics card PCB. Well, with the Radeon R9 Fury that has changed. AMD has made a bold move to HBM memory (we'll talk about it over the next pages), the 4 GB of memory now is seated onto the actual GPU (chip).

 

  Radeon R9 Fury X Radeon R9 Fury  Radeon R9 390X
Fabrication Process 28nm  28nm 28nm
GPU Fiji  Fiji Hawaii / Grenada
Streaming Processors 4096  3584 2816
Graphics memory 4 GB HBM  4 GB HBM 8 GB GDDR5
Memory Clock up-to 500 MHz / 1.0 Gbps  up-to 500 MHz / 1.0 Gbps 6.0 Gbps
Core Clock 1050 MHz  1000 MHz 1050 MHz
Memory Bandwidth up-to 512 GB/s  up-to 512 GB/s 384 GB/s
Power Connectors 2 x 8-pin  2 x 8-pin 1 x 6-pin - 1 x 8-pin
Form Factor Full Height, Dual slot  Full Height, Dual slot Full Height, Dual slot
Freesync  Yes  Yes Yes
DirectX 12 Support  Yes  Yes Yes

 

 

So, try to comprehend this, the Fiji Xt GPU has 8.9 Billion transistors, and that is EXCLUDING the HBM memory chips, I know..! crazy figures right? To be able to fit all that on 28nm, well it's impressive to say the least. The GPU itself (and we'll talk in detail about it on the following pages) is based on GCN 1.2 architecture and then scaled upwards, the Fiji pro products will have 3584 shader processors whereas that is 4096 shader processors for the X model. The end result is a product with 7.2 TFLOPS of compute performance offering nice game performance in the more difficult and complex to render situations like Ultra HD gaming. As stated the product comes with a Fiji pro GPU that is a cut-down Fiji XT chip with 56 compute units and thus 3584 stream processors, 64 Raster operation units and 224 texture mapping units. The base clock for the reference AMD Radeon R9 Fury is 1000 MHz. The card chunks out 7.2 TFlops of compute performance. The card obviously has 4GB of HBM memory left in-tact at 500 MHz / 1.0 Gbps (effective data rate).

You will notice that the ASUS card has a DVI connector, if you look closer you'll see it is a single link one, so basically that is just a converted HDMI -> DVI with a max res of 1920x1080. The cards are expected to cost 549 USD.

We will have a review for you guys next week as our sample has not arrived just yet.

Hmm Makes me wonder why AMD only stuck with 2 partners with the non fury X cards? To me this is kind of weird.

It wasn't AMD's call. It is the board partners that made the decision to make them or not.

Not to be rude, but isn't that a sign that something has gone terribly wrong?

The Fury will probably be the "value" card that people are looking for (until the Nano comes out), at least compared to the overpriced Fury X. The Fury has -50mhz on the core clock and missing some shader processers, but besides that it's the same as the Fury X (at least from what I saw). And -$100. If it's within 2-3FPS of the Fury X, then it should act like AMD's 980TI, where it's basically the same performance for less money.


If it's too much worse then the Fury X, or runs at 94c, then it will be another flub. Hopefully AMD get this one right.

Dunno, but maybe it has something to do with the low yields of HBM? AMD's bringing out the Fury in a week or something, aren't they? Even though they're having yield problems with the Fury X being sold out because of HBM.

Hilbert, do you know what the TDP of this card is? I'm kinda curious to know how much that WC on the X effects the leakage. I've heard estimates as high as 30w.
