[Rumor (Various)] AMD R7/9 3xx / Fiji / Fury

[monstercameron]

Who knows if their claims will hold up, bit I must say that the secrecy has been worth just an amazing release!

 

[blastingcap]

Per watt improvement is fine, but what is the actual performance?

If we're going based off SPs, that's a 45% increase. With a mild clock bump that could be 50%.

There may be other bottlenecks, but in theory Fiji should be up to 50% faster than 290x.

I'm guessing scaling will NOT be 100% due to those bottlenecks so maybe ... 35% faster than 290x?

Not enough for me to buy anything.. I said I won't buy another 28nm GPU and I meant it.. but interesting nonetheless.

 

[LTC8K6]

who the hell cares about rebrands now?

Anyone who can't afford Fiji, I guess.

Although I don't know why anyone would not want Fiji over the high end 300 series cards, unless the prices are quite far apart.

 

[cbrunny]

Huddy said we'd get everything today. I hope that includes reviews.

 

[Despoiler]

raja jsut claimed 2x perf/Watt wth is going on?

It sounds like R9 Nano is built for perf/watt and Fury X sacrifices perf/watt for all out speed. I expect Fury X is going to smoke everything out there.

 

[Grooveriding]

275W dropped as Fury X TDP.

 

[MrTeal]

275W, 50C. Wow.

 

[Justinbaileyman]

So what are we looking at for pricing on the nano..??

Yeah, I'm still waiting for amazing.

Nano is interesting, for sure.

But I'm not amazed yet.

I expected Fiji to be much faster than Hawaii.

 

[zagitta]

275W for the fury X if I heard correct!

 

[monstercameron]

gpu load lights ?

 

[IEC]

50°C Fury X (500W cooler @ 275W TDP)

$649 Fury X, $549 Fury

 

[cbrunny]

649 wow.

 

[blastingcap]

Confirmed:

Fury X $649
Fury $549

R9 Nano will be out "later this summer"

***END OF FURY PRESENTATION***

 

[Azix]

WOW. price not bad. but where is my nano

what was launch date for fury?

 

[LTC8K6]

gpu load lights ?

Sapphire has those on some cards.

 

[monstercameron]

$549 and $649

on the 24th!

Lisa said, the Nano has significantly more performance than R9 290X with half the power needed.

HOLY COW.

Having a hard time believing this, but if true, we now know why Nvidia really dropped the 980ti early. AMD winning on performance and efficiency? $649 Fury X and $549 Fury price. If this presentation isnt based on some BS metrics, "more ram" could end up sounding as pathetic as "more cores" around here before the year is over.

 

[ShintaiDK]

649$ Fury X, it was obvious that 980ti dictated that price. Before the 980ti launch it was rumoured to be 849$.

"Overclockers dream"

Raja talked about a refined GCN implementation here. They managed to get it to clock higher than existing GCN so far?

Damn. That's just what AMD needed to go against nvidia, clock speed. Nice nice nice

 

[Creig]

$549 for Fury, $649 for Fury X

 

[MrTeal]

Fury might not be the one to get, if FuryX is available on launch day for $650.

 

[railven]

649$ Fury X, it was obvious that 980ti dictated that price. Before the 980ti launch it was rumoured to be 849$.

And I'm fine with that. nvidia did me a favor!

Fury X - $650, MINE!!!!! They've been reading my bitch posts. I know it!

 

[cbrunny]

Forcepower. ha. PUN!

 

[monstercameron]

I wonder what the difference between the r9 nano and fury
