I'm still shocked that these cards aren't HDMI 2.0. That's a huge miss for us 4K TV owners.

They are a big beleivers of the display port. If I remember right the port can do 4k at 120zh

Don't know if you've seen this already, supposedly it's offical 4K bench done by AMD...not too shabby, but not that great either - I think at 1440p they will trade blow for blow, so it comes down to price and features.



^Yeah, I've seen that. There are some factors still missing though; effects (like AA), OC and actual independent reviews, I never take internal benchmarks at complete face value.
Been waiting for a month for word on performance from the new batch of AMD cards, should the Fury beat the 980Ti on price, be good for OC and on-par in performance, it should be a no-brainer for me, early reports suggest that it runs super cool and silent as well, which are two of the main gripes I've always had with AMD cards.
As an added bonus; it is said that DX12 gets better yields and performance for AMD cards.

I'm really torn and need the figures already!



When can we expect reviews of the Fury cards?

Wednesday, probably. There's an embargo on them apparently.

I expect the Fury X to perform roughly on par with the 980Ti, it comes down to price, drivers, heat and noise for me. And I'm still not 100% sold on only 4GB of memory, no matter how fast it is.

Fark, tables like this and the OP always floor me at just how far ahead of current gen consoles PC is already, even with PS4 and Xbone less than two years old.

We have console games struggling or even failing to hit 1080p, while in the same game, modern GPUs are spitting out 4K.

To be fair, those modern GPUs cost almost the same than both PS4 and X1 together.

Very true, I believe this one in particular will set you back 350 pounds.

I don't know how bad is the exchange rate for you, but both the Fury X and the 980Ti are advertised as $649.

Here in Spain it's impossible to find the 980Ti for less than 749€, and who knows how AMD's partners will price the Fury X.
