Damn, AMD, what the hell are you doing? They're just handing the market to Nvidia. HBM bragging won't tide them over unless they present cards that can actually compete.
Let's hope these are only rumors.
Oh, and thanks for the 35-40% increased premium in Europe, if true.

Yeah, it looks like AMD is doing the same they did with the 2xx series, all rebrands except the 290 and 290X. Here everything seems to be rebrands except for the Fiji parts with HBM. The problem is that the last time the rebranded parts had a lower price.

But the price premium in Europe is not only something from AMD, with Nvidia it's the same with the $650 980Ti being priced at 750 € and the $1,000 TitanX being 1,100 €. It's the problem from having a "weak" Euro that can't offset the price hike that comes from our taxes (1 € = $1.12).

Still waiting for benchmarks, I have no idea why we haven't seen any official figures yet since they slated for release here within days and seem to be out in stores in the US. Chaos.

All the sales seem to come from Best Buy with XFX cards. And there are problems with the drivers because the drivers included in the box are v15.2 but the actual drivers are v15.5beta and those don't work with those new cards. That's why there is a lack of benchmarks.

I have 3DMark's Fire Strike benchies

compare to 290X

Not really that useful, are they?
