Yes, that's true - if they can pull that off. But will it still use >300W in GPGPU and FurMark?

That's determined by the power limit set in the BIOS for a particular card. A power virus like FurMark will go up to the limit every single time and is a useless metric for power consumption.

Sweet the tube material is much nicer on this card. Looking forward to it, patience is waning ever so little with each leak. Card is small too, much more cases it can fit into. Pricing is key so if WCE comes in at around 650 I'll probably spring for it since it's summer and where I'm at is getting hotter. Will do a monitor upgrade later in the year once we have more freesync choices, ips to be exact.

If they have an air cooled version of the fury X then that water cooler serves one purpose, and thats overclocking. Card should be epic.

Probably depends on the AIB partner. As far as the size, that radiator is massively thick so its not as easy as looking at just the card size

It's a bold move cotton. Let's see if it pays off.

AMD appears to be bypassing traditional PC hardware sites with this launch and is giving them no advanced briefings or details on their upcoming graphics cards. We are glad to see AMD supporting the end users, but it is unusual to see the traditional hardware sites and media not briefed this close to new product launch. In the past when traditional hardware reviewers aren’t given a product with enough time to properly test it there is usually a reason for doing so.

I can't remember if I said this earlier but I think this is the FIRST big press conference since AMD fired their previous Chief Marketing Office. I think we may see a more cordinated release from AMD and something quite nice that is actually playing into what looks to be a MASSIVE event from AMD during E3. This is the thing gamers like. 24 hours, live stream, live give aways. So far, so good.

I think if AMD gets some good demos with some new games looking good on Fiji in something that we haven't seen done yet? They'll be VERY good. It will be a good way for a new CMO to get in there and remarket the company. A good PC showing at E3 is a great start at changing AMD perception so I'm expecting Fiji to perform well and utilize that WCE to do so too for some crazy performance. I just don't think from a company perspective, that they could launch a product that was trading blows with the Titan X at E3 and expect gamers to be excited. I think that will backfire on them hard, and every single live stream coverage of E3 will go "Lol, not even good as Titan X, 4 GB ram vs 12 GB RAM, Nvidia is the best card guys, always remember this!" I just can't see AMD debuting something that isn't a home run product at E3, it's suicide.

If they do do this though. I expect their market share to plummet even more so. 2016, it may not even matter if the product is good, the brand will have been so tarnished it won't matter.
 
If AMD is bypassing traditional hardware sites with the 300 series, then that is all but confirmation the entire 300 series is a rebrand, sans a fully unlocked Tonga which probably isn't too exciting anyways due to perf/w, unless it's priced ultra-competitive against the gtx 960.

16th is the press launch.

You gonna jump onboard with PCPer's Ryan Shrout and LR's doom glooming "oooo it must be bad if they don't invite us journalists to a special event!!"? The dude is whining he isn't given special treatment.

Do you see reputable sites foaming for bad publicity about AMD doing a special pre-launch event? Where's AT's twitting how its so awful this & that!?

If anything, those clowns should be scrubbed off the media list by AMD, perma-ban for clickbaiting a non-story and sensationalizing it.

how so?

The e3 conference should be good. Hopefully they have been working to show off tressfx, bullet physics, and a whole lot of dx12. I wish they'd have worked with the witcher 3 devs to show off dx 12 though but some other persons favorite game might get the treatment.

If the performance is there, that's a reference design I'd actuallly buy on day one. I'd never buy a reference design on day one I'd always wait for AIBs, but that's nice. Really nice.... Tiny, all heat out of case(I have a Fractal Design Define R4, how people have cases with not enough space for these is mind blowing), frees up space to actually be able to get to my Sata plugs easily. Like super easily.

I'm loving the idea of it, it's the price, and the performance. If the performance is there for 4K, then well, yes! I want to game at 4K so badly lol.
 
When was the last time a top tier card wasn't sent out to reviewers? I believe that would be the Titan Z...

Hope that isn't the case this time around.

This is meant to be an PC Gamer Launch thing. I think AMD wants ALL of the focus to be on this event. Can you not get that? From the complete lack of information. They have tried as hard as humanly possible to stop leaks. Some have come out, but it's clear that AMD wants everyone to be watching their big reveal and for EVERYONE to get the information at the same time and not just have it trickle out that the performance is "X and that's that and lets move on." They want to have a big reveal of their new products, prizes, fanfair a show. Then, let reviews drop to show what they have.

So you'd assume they'd have a good product because this is a lot of fanfair and hype for a product release.

But some people may just like to see their companies burn. Who knows?
 
I'm ok with AMD not sending samples to obvious Nvidia marketing sites like pcper, but, it does make you curious.

I am just glad amd finally got the balls to tell these websites to suck it. :twisted: it is never too late to grow a pair, especially it is for amd's own good.
