ASUS STRIX Radeon R9 Fury Surfaces
So the ASUS STRIX Radeon R9 Fury, the non X model has surfaced on the web. This non-X model has a Fiji Pro GPU and should be hitting the streets by end of week.
The ASUS STRIX Radeon R9 Fury is based on the same DirectCU III cooler which has been featured on the STRIX GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics cards. Interesting to see is that the leaked photo shows a DVI port, something lacking on the reference cards and Sapphire model.
Fiji pro will be a cut-down Fiji XT chip with 56 compute units and thus 3584 stream processors, 64 Raster operation units and 224 texture mapping units. From what we hear, the based clock for the reference AMD Radeon R9 Fury is 1000 MHz, we do think the AIB partners will clock it a notch higher. 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).
At this point it looks like only Sapphire and ASUS are to release a Fiji Pro based Fury card, I've talked to Gigabyte and they are not planning this SKU. MSI as well will not release one short term, but internally they are still discussing it.

OMW. Nobody commented on the DVI port. Looks like ASUS actually listened. Can't believe they actually did it. I hope they will get more sails on this card than any other card without DVI so we can show them it's not time to ditch it yet

Maybe that's the reason why more manufacturers aren't planning a product based on this, as the the article suggested? There's no point if it's too expensive. A difficult situation for AMD.

the Fury X is well over a grand here in NZ (1399.95NZD) so I can not see to many buyers who'll part with close to the same price for this just because it's a Strix version

I must be missing something here, why is the card full size and not the smaller form factor of the Fury X? I thought the smaller size came from using HBM.

If they don't lower the prices of these puppies , eventually AMD will fail with the release.
