I'm really excited to see how this beast will perform. I bet it'll be one heck of a card!

And this is based on what evidence?

I hope AMD sort their drivers out for this. They usually do when they launch a dual GPU monster.. Just wish they had the same enthusiasm after the fact.
I installed Crimson on my rig and it absolutely decimated graphics performance in FO4. I had to remove it and go back to the betas, which thankfully I keep and store because AMD have discontinued them on their site.
I still want to Xfire my Fury X with a Nano, but prices are still on the wrong side of stupid.
Maybe early next year will be a better time to buy.

Based on SLI and Crossfire results since the start of the trend of SLI and Crossfire. Its not that hard to find the evidence online.

Remove the latest FO4 beta patch and it should fix the issue. Also should make sure to completely remove the previous drivers as i've seen quite a few people online install the Crimson suite over the last beta driver but that's not how you install a new driver.. Think people are forgetting this isn't just a new GUI, it's a new driver and suite. I've seen performance increases across the board and even some other sites who tested noted even more increased performance in FO4 when compared to the last FO4 beta driver.
I'm pretty excited for this X2. I know barnsely has been waiting ever since it was announced to get one

I don't have the game but I think it's the same as every game on steam. Just right click on FO, click properties at the bottom, go to beta tab, then opt out of the beta.

The big question is can they launch at 999.99 or 1500.00. If it can't get out the door for less than 1000.00, I think its dead in the water.

Well I suspect $999 and then the equal in pound sterling and Euro. The Fury Nano(which it probably is considering two 8pin PCIe) got marked down in pricing so could see it coming at that price point.

if this card goes up vs the theretical 990 then it would lose, but if it is much lower in price then it might be a win for AMD. We all know that in benchmarks and games then they will lose again vs Nvidia... I sure hope that AMD does a SMART move this time and fight the price war good. Their ONLY weapon right now at the top end tier GPU´s...
Insta-dropped below £1k though, seemed to stabilize around £900 before being epic at £550. I think this will have a very similar cycle at every point being more competitive than nVidia despite being hated on.
Incoming 980 mini and 990Ti are imminent though, i'm sure it will be interesting but ultimately, multiple dench single cards FTW.

Going back to this. It seems I didn't even have the beta installed ! oops !
So I installed it and performance is better than ever. This is not on Crimson though and tbh I am worried about reinstalling that and screwing up performance so I will leave it now.
As JR said it won't stay there for long. The 7990 came out before AMD had sorted out their drivers so I managed to buy one for £479 with a "free" XFX PSU that was worth £130. I sold the PSU for £80, card owed me little for what it was. Then they sorted out the drivers and it was a nice card.
The 295x2 was the best double GPU card ever IMO. They really got the drivers right too.
I'm still predicting £999. It seems the Nano has now dropped (well, at least the Sapphire model has on OCUK) to £409 and I somewhat predict that the X2 will have two similar cores/clocks so charging more than a grand would be daft.
But then hey, this is AMD. The same AMD that could have released the Fury X for £450 and the Fury non X for £380 or so and smashed Nvidia's tits off. But instead decided to charge Nvidia prices and are still firmly in the doodoo. It's only really been the 390/x and their cheaper models that have kept them alive.
