Am I right in saying then that there is only going to be one actual new card "The Fury" or am I missing something?

I think it would be very, very charitable to think all the bad news being leaked is just an elaborate hoax because it is bad press, not good press - leaked benchmarks of some super chip would make a lot more sense.No one knows for sure (100%).. all there is to go on is "leaked" images, deconstructed driver code and speculation. Knowing AMD this is possibly all just marketing spoof to get tongues wagging.
So saying yes to anything would be just wrong.

It's no surprise that AMD have re-branded the old cards and I'm actually loving this new "Mostly black with some red and silver" and also the rubberised shroud look, But! and this is a big but, why the bloody hell have they stuck with the ancient blower fan that has been on cards dating back to the neolithic times.
Looks slightly different to their old blower cooler to me. Does look quite nice though.
I do like the look of it, I just hope it has better performance.
Why the hell would you rebrand a 3 year old chipset that has such little support? Are they trying to make sure they go bankrupt?
^Plus one for all of thisBy not moving onto GCN 1.3, or at the very least 1.2, they lose the ability for full hardware DX12.1 support(that's the highest "tier" DX12 apparently) and can only get the DX12.0 through drivers. They also lose Freesync, Truaudio, LiquidVR(potentially), so I'm rather unsure if anything is true. That would be suicide tbh, they have been more quiet about upcoming cards than before which is strange. Normally by this time we pretty much have all the info... seeing as it's 6 days away from Launch and all we still have is rumors and unconfirmed leaks with no comment from AMD, strikes as odd indeed.
^Plus one for all of thisAlso something else that's been odd, AMD Roy has been quiet the whole NDA period, highly unlike him.
