AMD Releases Radeon R9 Fury X details + exclusive photos
Okay, I have the two thumbs up to share the official data with you guys. AMD will release its high-end card based on FIJI GPUs very soon, expect reviews next week as well as availability. In this news-item I am going to share the official details and specifications of the Fury X alongside some photos.
Fiji much like Tonga makes use of 3rd-gen GCN 1.2 architecture, same architecture but obviously scaled up towards a huge 4096 shader processors. The GPU core will be clocked at 1050 MHz and is tied to 4 GB High Bandwidth Memory. This memory runs at a nice 512 GB/s thanks to the extremely wide 4096-bit memory bus. based on 64 compute units thats 64 shader units per CU cluster. It has 64 ROP units and a whopping 256 texture memory units. The product will deliver performance of 8.6 TFLOPS. The HBM memory is indeed 4GB in total, four stacks of 1GB being clocked at 500 MHz, combined they will deliver 512 GB/s of bandwidth.
The power usage will sit at roughly 275 Watt. The product as you guys know is liquid-cooled. Fury X will get three DP 1.2 ports and one HDMI 1.4 connector (there is no HDMI 2.0 support). The Fure X will be available starting June 24th for a price of 649 USD, which is 700 to 750 EURO based on your country and VAT. I attached some screen-shots that display all relevant information, have a peek please.
There she is, the LEDs are power load indicators, at this fully lit stage the GPU is 100% utilized.
Everything about this card screams 4K. Below I have photos of the die and product I took yesterday at an AMD event. Again we have a unit in-house and you can expect the full review next week.

Fury series is the brand new "Fiji" GPU. The 300 series are simply all rebrands.

I like the design, but really no HDMI 2.0? and 275W at stock clocks is... well... meh. This reeks of being rushed to market. They could have waited for a die shrink and HBM2 for 4+ GB, but it seems the 980Ti really forced their hand, if you ask me.

Even if the performance is not top of the charts, it more or less is a proof of concept to show that it does have its advantages.
This product now is out there just to show that it's possible to have this tech in a consumer setting. It's AMD saying "Hey, it works and we will improve the next revision."

The way the pipes are routed (from the "right" side) might be a small issue for people with larger tower coolers in a smaller case. Then again, there doesn't seem to be a really ideal way to place it without hitting certain limitations in certain form factors/cases.
GCN 1.2 though, meaning it was indeed a "brute force" design. Can't wait to see the numbers on a first gen HBM implementation though. Being GCN 1.2 it also should allow for some rough extrapolation of just how much GCN (at least 1.2 with some compression technology) was bandwidth constrained in the past vs 285/380's GDDR5.
