Spec dump from WCCF.
http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-fury-x-specs-fiji/
Fiji, and the Fury line of cards which are based on it, feature notable improvements across the board. Performance is obviously significantly improved. Fury X is faster than the R9 290X by a minimum of 54%. Which brings us to the second major improvement. Fury X achieves this performance improvement with a TDP that’s a meager 10W higher. Which makes Fury X 48% more power efficient than AMD’s previous single GPU flagship the R9 290X, which is quite remarkable.
We’ve also been told that since Fiji’s die is measurably bigger than that of Hawaii, it’s considerably easier to cool. Because the heat will be distributed across a larger surface area, which will allow it to dissipate more readily. This is good news, especially considering that AIBs will also be bringing out newer and more effective cooling solutions.
On an even brighter note, we’ve been told that AMD’s reference air cooler for Fury X and Fury is actually quite beefy. And will keep the chips cool even with an overclock. The cooler features three axial fans blowing air onto a large heatsink.

^54% faster than 290X would actually make it 6-8% faster than Titan X at every resolution. See my post above.
54% better performance then 290x for Fury
AMD has managed to improve the performance by over 50% with Fiji vs Hawaii. While only expanding the silicon area, i.e. size of the chip, by roughly 25%. Which means that AMD has achieved the holy trifecta of semiconductor engineering. Greater performance, greater power efficiency and greater area efficiency.
When when it suits people, they stick with Wccftech, otherwise they dismissively reject it. Sounds like bias to me :/

OMGO MGOMMG OMG AMD WINS!!!

Minimum 54% faster? So they're assuming 100% scaling, which means 45.5% faster than 290X, then throw in another 10% for arch improvements, and then throw in higher clocks and you somehow magically get that minimum 54% figure?
Basically yes.
In regard to WCCF, the first line says the specs are confirmed....confirmed by who? They don't seem to have a source or even claim an anonymous source.
B-b-but they're still 1.3% off then
I wholeheartedly agree though especially on point 3.
But let me also just say this right now. IF Fiji XT does indeed end up 6-8% faster than Titan X at every resolution, expect to hear about 4GB, power consumption, heat, noise (air cooled version), and drivers, especially drivers, incessantly.
Even if the the Fury XT is $299 and beats the Titan X by 50%, you will hear about all of those things and those people will still pay more for a GTX 970.
Well in that scenario, those who'd still take the 970 over Fiji XT are beyond all help and should be sterilized.
I mean hell, we're talking at least 2x over 970 in every game at every resolution, regardless of GameWorks or tessellation or whatever.
The same page shows a picture of the DCUIII cooler from ASUS and calls it the reference air cooler for Fiji XT. Even in the thumbnail you can make out the STRIX emblem and ASUS badge.

Bonus point: When you click on the picture the caption says "ASUS GeForce GTX 980 Ti DirectCU III STRIX."
Getting a little carried away with the hypotheticals

The cooler features three axial fans blowing air onto a large heatsink. A concept thats been popularized by AIBs such as Gigabyte who have employed it for many years. And is quite similar to what Asus has shown at Computex with their brand new triple fan Strix cooler. Which the company has hinted towards being compatible with AMDs Fiji GPU.
a source can be protected so they dont loose their jobs.
anyhow I taken it with caution but fun to hear performance is coming to town from amd.

Being WCCFTech, I just skimmed the article. Still: providing a picture of a product as an example of something we have not seen yet as what it could possibly look like? Poor editorial form for any sort of what is supposed to be a somewhat informative article.Could they have worded it better and less ambigiuously? Sure, but then they wouldn't be WCCF lol
The question for me remains:
Is 4GB HBM enough for 4k gaming (especially in the future)?
witcher 3 has a 2gb ram usage at 4k.
while 4gb is a lot of ram even at higher resolutions you want to have a 8gb Fury as while you can cover let say 98% of all games within a 4gb footprint there always be some games that might push more ram. there will be a 8gb card of Fury for sure.
For me at a 5040x1050 I run the game at the fps I want as 60fps dosnt cut it for me.
ram is a non issue at 4gb for years to come.

Yep they confirm everything we already know.

Witcher 3 only used 2GB becasue it has shitty textures and assets that were made for console. Please..
yeah, same here.
until 4K is doable in 98% of games at max settings and 60fps on a SINGLE CARD, im not interested
4GB is plenty.
That's not true, read the text directly above the image.The same page shows a picture of the DCUIII cooler from ASUS and calls it the reference air cooler for Fiji XT. Even in the thumbnail you can make out the STRIX emblem and ASUS badge.
