Official Fury X specs

[happy medium]

You mean people don't know about cheap DP to DVI cables? Say it isn't so!

If you have a 4k TV with hdmi 2.0, how do you hook a fury card to it?
I really don't know. Do these TV's have Display ports?

DP and DVI are incompatible. You need an active adapter to do it.

I saw a few cheap ones (~$15), but its single link 1080p.

The active dual-link ones required for higher res/hz are more expensive, you are right.

Definitely the added cost will be a major factor for some on DL-DVI 1440p monitors.

I'm interested in the whole package though so want to see overclocking potential as well. I've seen what the Gigabyte aftermarket 980ti does at 1500mhz and it's about 15% over the stock performance of that card and consumes about 300W once overclocked. That is about the benchmark area I want to see Fury X exceed with overclocking. I haven't used AMD in a while, but in the past they had much more liberal voltage controls compared to the paltry amounts nvidia gives these days. It's really down to how the card does at stock and how much gas is left in the tank after that.

Really? 4096 shaders, 512GB/sec and > 1050mhz clocks and you expect it to not beat a reference 980Ti? 980Ti is less than 40% faster at 4K and on specs Fury X is at least faster than a 290X:

The key variable is OC vs. OC performance. 980Ti is a beast with 20-30% more performance once OC.

Looks like 980ti is only 15% faster after an extreme overclock according to Grooveriding.

They will probably throw one in the box. the Sapphire ones are like $30.

No HDMI 2.0 or DVI. That alienates quite a few people out there with Korean IPS panels.

But seriously, do you have a source for this? It's obvious it doesn't have DVI (adapters are easy to come by), but it would be incredibly stupid of them not to include HDMI 2.0 on a card targeting 4K gaming.

I watched the streams, looked at all the slides, and read the Fury manual on AMD's website and it says nothing about what version of HDMI is included. It doesn't say 1.4, 1.4a, 1.4b, 2.0, or 2.0a... just "HDMI".

Come to think of it, NVIDIA was quiet about it for the 970/980 and it wasn't until I bought the 970 and plugged it into my TV that I learned it was HDMI 2.0.

Not having HDMI 2.0+ is a deal breaker, so this needs confirmation. :/

 

[tential]

Hdmi 2.0 was a well known feature of the 970/980. If you didn't know it that's Ok but to say it wasn't mentioned is ridiculous since I knew about it the whole time as I wanted it for that specific feature and knew about it for awhile.

He said over "stock performance of that card." That card, as in the G1, is already 10-15% faster than a reference 980 TI.

AMD supplied bench

 

[Grooveriding]

Direct from AMD. Real world I am thinking 5-10% faster on average across a game suite.

Probably 15~20% after driver optimizations & discounting Gimpworks penalty

So Fury X is not being positioned against Titan X?

Wow very nice! Especially considering Gimpworks, AMD has put out a killer piece of silicon.

LOL @ all the people going crazy about the HDMI thing. Don't AIB's often choose their own I/O anyways?

I think the Display controller has to support it, so even though the AIB's can mix and match connectors they won't have the hdmi 2.0 option there.

The weird thing is that maxwell has had it for 9 months so it was just expected. I think it will be a bigger deal for the Nano as thats an ideal HTPC card with 2.0 but not without it.

The article mentions hdmi port is 1.4 and cant push 60hz on 4k. Bad news for 4k tv owners I guess.

It hasn't been confirmed yet, so there's still hope,

 

[xthetenth]

They're showing their card off, and they turned mantle off in BF4?

That's a bold move.

 

[Silverforce11]

Why? 980Ti is basically Titan X for cheap. It would be silly to compare against its fake competitor.

The 980Ti and custom ones is what it has to compete against.

Symbolism.

Yet Mantle is on for Sniper Elite 3, so it must be working on Fury cards...

Weird.

 

[TemjinGold]

So... as they say on the deal sites...

"No HDMI kills the deal!"

The HDMI 1.4 is puzzling, to be sure. For a card positioned as a 4K performer, to miss this is pretty bad.

For me personally, its not a limiting factor, but for someone who just invested in a 4K TV its not great.

Right so basically at least Titan X performance out of the box based on that chart. The problem is for $40-50 more one can get an after-market 980 that's 15% faster, at which point 6GB of VRAM becomes a free bonus so to speak.

On paper it sounds like Fury might net a 7-8% win over the 980Ti but after-market 980Ti cards are 15% faster out of the box. I want to see overclocking performance and specific benchmarks of the most demanding games. Winning in AC Unity and The Witcher 3 sounds promising as those are GW titles. If it manages a win in those 2 games, it's not a bad start.

Confirmed to be only HDMI 1.4a.

"It turns out that AMD's new "Fiji" silicon lacks HDMI 2.0 support, after all. Commenting on OCUK Forums, an AMD representative confirmed that the chip lacks support for the connector standard, implying that it's limited to HDMI 1.4a."

I am not sure about going that far.

Allows PCs with ‘Dual-Mode’ DisplayPort (DP++) outputs to connect to displays with HDMI inputs. HDMI 2.0 (active circuit at HDMI connector).

Someone will need to test it out if it works at 60Hz.
http://visionaudiovisual.com/techconnect/cables/dp/

I think we should see 3rd parties start offering DP to HDMI 2.0 (60Hz) connectors sooner or later. If you must buy now, then just get a 980TI
