Radeon Fury X

[TennesseeTony]

Any word from any source regarding the double precision Gflops of the soon to be released Radeon Fury X?

Single precision is 8.6 tflops.
Should we try to guess? Ill try 1/16 like Tonga.

8601.6 GFLOPS x (1/16)= 537.6 GFLOPS

Meh. I'm hoping they go back to 1/4 like the pre-290X days. I doubt it. But I'm hoping.

8601.6 GFLOPS x (1/4)= 2150.4 GFLOPS, now that sounds MUCH better.

I guess if it was 1/4 they would be making that known, loud and proud.

Actually the 290X is a 1/8 part, and if FURY X were 1/8 it would begin to surpass the 280X (which is 1/4).

8601.6 GFLOPS x (1/8)= 1075.2 GFLOPS

Anandtech's article today on the 300 series has a chart showing the Fury line to be FP64 1/16.

Forgive my ignorance, but is FP64 another term for double precision?

If so, 1/16 it is, and that is pathetic for such a high end card, IMO.

Tom's released their review yesterday, Anandtech is obviously doing a more in depth review...or dragging their feet. The latest cell phone review is likely more important.

For 4K, it's a worthy opponent to the latest Ti card from Nvidia, sort of disappointing below that resolution. Very disappointed that they didn't make the double precision more than 1/16.

My $150 used 280X's still rule the double precision world!!! Muwahahahaha!

the guy writing the review got sick, give him some time
