AMD R9 Fury Specs detailed

[Agost]

Dont people get tireed of this endless back and forth debate? This gen of cards werent very interesting in the first place, to me anyways. Only the Fury X piqued my interest due to its usage of HBM. taking forever for the <28nm cards..

It's mostly mobile segment's fault

The 20nm process by TSMC, Samsung etc was only developed in in low power versions

That's why we have to wait for 14/16nm and since both TSMC/GloFo are late we're probably going to see new cards in the second half of 2016

This is the one thats going to sell. It'll be the 290 to the 290X. Cheaper and hardly slower. I'd hazard a guess this will make the 980 a even more pointless card. All AMD need to do is get it priced around the 980 currently and they'll have a great setup.

The Fury X will probably make more sense when they sort out the drivers some more but until then (and arguably when the nano et al also come out) this will be the bread winner for AMD. I know its a bit risky relying on AMD to do a load of driver improvements (or even wait for DX12) but as in the way of previous one from flagship cards, it'll be a no brainer (think 7950 vs 7970 at launch).

I really do hope AMD improve their drivers by the time I get my Fury X next month ^_^

Its early days, the drivers will improve. AMD stuff always sucks (relatively) at launch.


They should also do a version without a good few less miles of hose too. I couldn't really fit one in my current case even if I wanted one.

Personal opinion and facts about a product is all I'm saying it's not being cynical, I'm not lashing out at someone else like you are, Now please calm it down.

To be fair, you're kinda going on launch drivers.

I hate the news it just makes everyone upset

How the *** are these perfectly sane people arguing over something neither of them have ever owned, nobody in the world has officially tested, with no actual known pricing.

Thread cleaned - back on topic guys.

with no actual known pricing.

It's $100 less than the Fury X so around $499 apparently. This would make sense.

So that means roughly £400, maybe £430 or so.

So it's taking on the 980 head on.

That's a long way short of a fact. Plus with OCUK's reactions who knows, they may slash 980 prices as a response to the Fury. Like I said, confirmed or not, things will change when actual stock lands.

That would only be for a short while wouldn't it? I'm really looking forward to see what third party coolers can do and the factory overclock on this card

Well if the X is water cooled and costs £509 then £400, even if it's an assumption (because I'm sure I saw an official price somewhere) isn't unreasonable for a blower cooled card is it?

Its not going to be a blower card. From what I've seen it seems to be more like the 7990's cooler going on previous specification lists.

 

[Kushiro]

Barnsley is right on that one. Still the air cooler is bound to be cheaper. Not a big fan of the AIO variant either way, as it just doesn't seem like its going to last very long. What happens if the pump dies routside of warranty etc...

I'm assuming right now that that's the stock Fury. I know it doesn't say it is but it's sporting the new livery.

Do you have any pics of this supposed cooler dude? not calling you a liar just wondering if you'd seen something I haven't

I think that is a new 'reference' 390X, well it's the same size and PCB by the looks of it. A Fury with HBM one would expect to be a bit smaller or have a cooler extending beyond a small PCB.

Oh OK cool. Well I'm hoping they make Fury with a blower or again the cooling situation won't be any good to me :S I'm done trying to run multiple GPUs with open coolers, they're crap !

I can't find the document I saw (I'll look again in a bit), but it claimed the Fury's reference cooler has 3 coaxial fans. Think the Nano but two/three times longer.

Then again according to 'industry leaders' that talked to TweakTown said its non reference which if true probably means no AMD coolers.

Wow, good guess huh?

Apparently that *is* Fury.

I don't think it is unless they have recycled the switch and power connectors from a 290X ^_^ The article doesn't mention it and about 6 posts in somebody (with unknown credibility) says it is a 390X.

Ah OK so no reference.. bummer. Just hope some one makes a blower then.
