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.

why so many different names? soooo confusing. 😕

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."

Well at least AMD did one thing right with this card. They put a Nidec Servo fan on the raidiator.

Top tear performance, H.265 video decode accelerator, very decent FP64 math support, decent DSP for audio processing, half a terabyte of low latency memory bandwidth and all that in a 275W package. This is a high-end very-well-engineered product.

Getting a Fury X. Sold my 970 for the price I bought it for, lol. Can't wait, my Intel HD4000 isn't exactly a party.

Although I am not planning on upgrading my video card setup any time soon, I can't wait to see what this card can do. The latency on the new HBM RAM setup has to be crazy low. The throughput of the RAM is higher than the L2 cache on an Intel 4960x running at stock speeds. :banana: You have a tiny board compared to older high end cards.

Not significantly better for new tech... ]
Why would anyone use AA in 4k?

GCN 1.2 was never really used to it's maximum potential. The R9 285 should have had at least 3GB and the new 380 isn't really any different. I personally think AMD should have gone this route: * The Fury GPUs should have been the 390 and 390X * The updated Hawaii GPUs should have been the 380 and 380X * The updated GDDR5 Tonga GPU should have been the 370 * An HBM Tonga GPU which would be the 370X I think if they did things like this, people would be a little more forgiving of all the rebrands.

"Everything about this card screams 4K" - Can't wait for Hilbert's review! Please do some OpenGL testing @ 4K and any Qualitative 3D audio test. That is one thing that would totally win me over PhysX support since it matters more to games and movies.

Fury X in crossfire? Only with an open case or will there be extra long pipes to move the 2nd radiator far away inside the case?

I agree completely on that point. To me it seems AMD just wanted to have their very own "titan" type of card. Least we will finally get reviews next week sometime.
