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

[LTC8K6]

$549 for Fury, $649 for Fury X

Jeez, why would anyone buy a 390X?

They are going to have to give them away to move them.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Dunno. Slapping "world's fastest card" on a dual chip solution doesn't sound like the Fury X can reliably beat the 980ti.

Eh, not like it matters.

 

[Despoiler]

275W, 50C. Wow.

AND it has 2x 8pin power connectors. I expect this thing is going to OC like a muther!

Fury X will be in my rig as soon as it's available.

 

[biostud]

I wonder what the difference between the r9 nano and fury

Probably fewer SP and lower clocks ie Fury pro.

 

[Grooveriding]

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

Given how AMD historically positions against AMD this looks positive that Fury X is going to smash 980ti at the same price point.

"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

Should be GCN 1.2.

I think he refers to the 500W capable watercooler.

4GB vs 8GB?

Eh, not like it matters.

nah. That dual chip card must have been in the works from near the start.

I wonder what the difference between the r9 nano and fury

Clocks I would think maybe some parts fused off, the lowest end Fury I'd guess is an even more cut down die.

Smash it? 1.5x performance/watt over the 290X sounds more like equal +/-5%.

 

[sandorski]

Confirmed:

Fury X $649
Fury $549

R9 Nano will be out "later this summer"

***END OF FURY PRESENTATION***

+ Dual Fury in the Fall.

 

[MrTeal]

Well, time to wait for reviews. FuryX is effectively $130 cheaper than 980Ti once I buy a GPU block, so if they do hit Ti levels and don't OC like a dog, it'll be tough to stay away.

 

[sze5003]

Yup so now fury or fury x.. My card now was about the same price as the fury when I bought it so that's what I'm willing to spend if I have to upgrade.

 

[Grooveriding]

Smash it? 1.5x performance/watt over the 290X sounds more like equal +/-5%.

At the top end flagship, faster is faster. It's what commands the premium. Even 10% faster is a smash and pretty significant when we are talking about the limits of what can be done.

Looking forward to reviews on this card.

 

[beginner99]

Maybe 390/390x is priced too high so many will just invest another $100 for Fury. They need to sell a ton of furys to get back the R&D cost.

Smash it? 1.5x performance/watt over the 290X sounds more like equal +/-5%.

The Nano is 2x perf/watt which would smash it

 

[monstercameron]

Lol so the bellyaching about not giving cards to the press because they didnt have anything good was fud as usual! Now to wait for reviews!

Should be GCN 1.2.

I think he refers to the 500W capable watercooler.

GCN 1.2 in Tonga isn't exactly an overclockers dream. This has to be "GCN 1.3" for lack of a better name. Come on, this has to be enough to get you excited over AMD for once! Gotta love competition.

There is a reason they put the overspecced 2x8 pin AND the watercooler considering they've shown Fiji with that ridiculously small air cooler claiming it beats the 290x...

AMD needs clock speed to take on these monstrosity of 980TIs running at over 1300-1400 MHz. This could be it.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

I think the Nano might be the biggest deal out of the bunch, given it has to slot way below the vanilla Fury on the price curve and therefore compete directly against the 980's current price.

When you consider the sources of all that bs, it all makes sense, doesn't it? 😉

 

[ShintaiDK]

No.

Unlike the Fury X they didnt tell about the TDP for the Nano.

Nano could just as well be 290X performance at ~150W.

 

[tviceman]

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!

My money is on 980 TI OC being faster than Fury X OC. But I think the $549 Fury is going to force a third GM200 sku and drop the GTX 980 price to $449.

 

[Stuka87]

The Nano sounds like a dream come true for people with SFF cases. Typically you are stuck with weak GPUs for thermal reasons. But now you get 290X+ performance for half the power usage? Thats awesome.

 

[tviceman]

No.

Unlike the Fury X they didnt tell about the TDP for the Nano.

Nano could just as well be 290X performance at ~150W.

Exactly. I think their yields are probably all over the place and therefore Nano is going to be heavily cut down and heavily down clocked.

 

[crashtech]

I can swing $549. Let's see the Fury benches!
