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?



Please excuse my bad English.

Lol, no!

They can't just sit around and wait, it's almost as if they're ashamed to tell us what they have to offer (they may well be).



So, today is the day AMD unveils Fury and hopefully reviews of the 3xx series start to show.

SK Hynix has (accidentally?) confirmed what we already knew:

AMD announced the Radeon™ R9 Fury X, the world’s first graphics card with HBM technology in Los Angeles on June 16th. The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card utilizes 4GB HBM1 to achieve up to 512GB/second memory bandwidth performance while reducing memory subsystem power by up to 85%.

I'll let my R7 265 sit out this generation, maybe the Zen APU's will be more then powerful enough for 1080p gaming.
Go Red Team!



R9 390 and R9 390x will both feature 8GB of GDDR5. The R9 390x starts at $429, the R9 390 starts at $329!
Fury $549 Fury X $649 June 24th!!!



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

You beat me! But only because the site has broken again

Anyway, the specs have been confirmed and Fiji X is a 4096 SP card running at 1050MHz and capable of 8.6 TFLOPs. And there will be another two Fiji cards, the Nano, which will be a scaled down Fiji part and a dual-GPU card. Nano will launch later in the summer and the dual GPU card will come in the fall.

 

The Fiji cards look very well priced against the 980 and 980Ti, but it remains to be seen how they perform. The 390 and 390X are overpriced if they're simple rebrands with extra VRAM.

I wanted to post this yesterday, but the site was broken for me and I couldn't, so I'm posting it now.

Comparing the size of Fury X's 7.5" and 290X's 11.5":

This is how the Fury X looks under the shroud

The CLC unit is capable of dissipating 500W, more than enough for the card's 275W. Fury X will run at 50º C and 32dB. It also contains a 6 phase power delivery design and a set of activity leds that indicate the load of the GPU

The card specs

This is how the Fury Nano looks like

And this is a look at the dual-GPU PCB

Really small for a dual-GPU card

Last, but not least, a table that I've shamelessly stolen from another forum with all the new cards and price points

Expect most reviews of the 3xx series to appear the same June 18 as they officially launch.
