AMD Fury and Fury X Prices announced

Don't need to. Otherwise HBM wouldn't exist if that was the case. Games are memory bandwidth starved.. not memory limited. CPUs and GPUs will always require more and more bandwidth as computation tasks increase. It's not the other way around, if it was we would be in a much different world where phones would have 16GB of memory...

Ma iPhone has 32GB lmao :lol: ^_^
 
Will be very interesting to see what the price will be in the UK, obviously alongside the numbers from benchmarks. Is it just me or did the presentation look and feel a little uncomfortable? There wasn't much dynamics between everybody appearing on stage and speaking and it was like flogging a dead horse when they tried to liven up the watching crowd. IMO a very deflated moment for something that many of us were waiting for. All in all though, good news on the Fury front and I sincerely hope that the Fury lineup meets expectations, that said, along with direct x 10.
 
A naked Fury appeared! looks sweet.

Considering they have designed the card from the beginning to be 4k and 5k, Ultra settings, min 60fps gaming ready. They even mentioned 3 x 1440p monitors...
Surely if 4GB HBM1 was going to be a problem delivering this then they would have waited for HBM2?
Yes, but they also said the R7 360 was capable of running 1440p in modern high demanding games, of which CS:GO was used as an example. That may be possible, but CS:GO is using a 10-year-old engine. When I think of modern high demanding games, I think of Wolfenstein New Order or Shadow of Mordor.

Um.. no. They said the R7(or at least marketed it this way) was for the budget gamer.. budget gamers tend to be MOBA players like LoL,Dota 2, etc. who 1080p 60fps is more than enough, obviously CSGO will run much higher fps but 1440p was targeted at the 380/380x while 4k was aimed at 390/390x. That's how they marketed it at least. However knowing 4k as of now, you need at least 2 cards of anything to make it playable at 60fps with max settings in modern AAA games. Think they only marketed it this way due to 8GB of Vram

Sorry, I meant to say 380, not 360.
