AMD Fury series coming soon.

AMD is the first to bring High Bandwidth Memory to the market! Now you, the gamer, will have all the power that HBM brings to gaming to make for a truly revolutionary experience. Did I mention the HBM? You're going to want to wait for this card because of the HBM. Introducing the AMD HBM with Radeon GPU.

If i had 4k maybe that might work since memory bandwidth might make more of a difference there but at 3440X1440 I don't find HBM alone worth waiting. If they only talk about HBM then that just says the card GPU isn't as fast as nvidia's

I added 4gb HBM to my Toyota Camry's ECU. 0-60 dropped by 4 seconds, max speed now tops out at 220. Don't underestimate HBM.

LOL

God help mankind of someone adds 4GB HBM to a VTEC engine. People thought CERN smashing atoms and ripping holes in the universe was a fear...

Can't wait to be playing some intensive games getting a studdery 30 FPS and then 'HBM just kicked in yo!' , smooth silky 60fps

Haha you're right, I never thought about what might happen if HBM fell into the wrong hands. Hope they don't sell HBM enabled gpus in Syria...
 
its possible they are announcing the fury this morning so they can use it for the PC Gaming Show later...
 
$3,000 Titan Z, $1,000 Titan, $1,000 Titan X, 3.5GB GTX970 and yet it's AMD who wants to fuck us? I think you've got your companies mixed up.

And why do you think I'm bitching about AMD? Because NVidia needs to be put back in check so they can quit pulling that type of bullshit. Right now, both companies are fucking us customers.

And that is exactly why I've never had the desire to spend more than $500 on a single GPU (which is still quite a hefty price, imo). I'm likely not moving to Maxwell because of the VRAM shenanigans, plus it's not worth transitioning to another 28nm part. 290X is priced at a real sweet spot right now, but I'm not going to downgrade in regards to power consumption and heat output, even compared to my hot running 780s. Fiji XT/Fury X is out because of that ridiculous water cooling requirement. There is no way I can keep my current uATX build and use a pair of those GPUs along with a 280mm AIO for my CPU and my current PSU...

So I'll say it again: I hope AMD releases a Fury with a HSF and is cool running that comes close to or performs the same as this stupid-ass CLC model.
 
Guys the biggest advantage of HBM is the power savings. It allows them to pack more shaders on the GPU. HBM1 is more of a trial run to bring it to market, show its benefits, and tweak its performance. HBM2 will be much better, and with it the 14nm cards will be release, or the true next gen cards.

GDDR5 is fast enough on Hawaii for most things to be GPU bottlenecked (512bit bus). Now there are certain compute benchmarks which benefit greatly from higher memory performance. It remains to be seen how DX12 will change things, (asynchronous shaders, draw call increases, removal of cpu bottleneck, etc)

Anyways if anyone wants to watch the live event. It will be live here soon.

I don't know about the rest of you guys but they better do something to make me want to wait for AMD fury. I'm not an AMD fan so I just want to know if it will be worth going AMD. All things equal I probably will choose nvidia. So there has to be something they do to make me want to wait for their cards.

To be honest, you shouldn't build your hopes up and assume this is the next 9700 PRO. Just get an Nvidia card and enjoy your peace of mind.

Suffice to say, the majority of people who are dead set in buying this card are people who:
1) Dislike Nvidia to a degree that warrants the time/money invested
2) Support AMD even if their products are just par for the course (a la Bulldozer)
3) Early adopters who like dabbling with future tech/benchmarking

Not sure why most of you are deliberately frustrating yourselves over an AMD release.

:rolleyes:

Oh god, not this again. I bet you're one of those that want AMD to 'succeed'

"Come on AMD, put out some good products so Nvidia can lower the prices of their flagships some more in order for me to buy more of Nvidia's products. Competition is a good thing!"
 
ah, here it comes (a pc??? AMD's shield?)

the Quantum....... outclasses 99.99999% of PCs........

Fury is 550$, woooo

Can't even use either of my monitors with it, but this will hopefully help AMD stay competitive
 
Fury X performance likely to sit somewhere in between 980TI and Titan X. Firestrike ULTRA benchmarks show Fury X beating Titan X, but no gaming benchmarks yet.

Nope, not at all. If you'd poke your head out of your AMD Fanboi bubble every once in a while to look around, you'll see that I've always lambasted $1000+ price points (or higher than around $500, for that matter) regardless of the manufacturer, I've used AMD/ATI products longer than some people on this forum have been alive, I've recommended AMD APU, CPU, and GPU products to a lot here seeking upgrade or build advice, I usually prefer a stout AMD APU for HTPC and laptop use, I hesistate to even recommend the 970 after the VRAM BS came to light, and I feel the 980ti is a joke priced as high as it is especially being "yet another" 28nm 250W part.

As much money as I've given AMD over the last 24 years, they really let me down with their desktop products starting with Bulldozer and have continued to let me down with both their desktop CPU and GPU products. When the 290X was released almost two years ago, damn that was some impressive performance, and to a large degree still is to this day. The only things about it that put it in my Fail Bin was the exceptionally high power consumption and heat output....I knew it was going to get surpassed by the competition, and rather quickly, at that. Sure enough, around one year later, the 970 shows up and does just that: beats the 290X in most games at 1080p (and even a little into the 1440p realm), draws much less power, and barely get warm doing so. Mass price drops on the 290X follow. I'm about ready to give up my 780s for a pair of them, but just can't do so because of the higher power draw and heat. The way more efficient 970 is enticing because of the price point, but no room to grow in monitor resolution + high refresh rate because of that constricting paltry memory bus width. Then the 3.5 + 0.5 VRAM debacle crossed it off my list for good.

So I wait. And wait. And wait some more.

390X - yes finally! Rebranded 290X with a higher price tag, you say? Well fuck that...

Fury X - yay! Wait, it needs and comes with a CLC? Well fuck that...

So I will wait. And wait. And wait some more.
Paging Greenland and Pascal. Greenland and Pascal, you have a customer to fight over at the front desk.

Isn't the Fury (non-X) exactly what you want? The price is a little over, but air cooled and nearly $500..

That remains to be seen. July 14th will be the day that I decide to move off my 780s back to Radeon products or I continue to wait.

I will wait if vanilla Fury isn't better than the 980 in my three key requirements: 1.) performance, 2.) lower power draw, and 3.) lower heat output. If it is to be priced at $550, then the extra $50 over current 980 pricing better translate to wins in all three metrics.
 
I'm going to have to wait for the 8gb version, not so much for DX12 but for 4k and current / past games.

I might jump on 2 of the Air Cooled Furys for $1,100
 
Did I here right; the Fury X averages 275w and can cool up to 500 watts, and OC friendly?!

:D
