AMD Announces the Radeon R9 Fury Graphics Card
AMD announced the second graphics card based on its swanky new "Fiji" silicon, the Radeon R9 Fury. Positioned between the R9 390X and the R9 Fury X, this card offers higher pixel-crunching muscle than the R9 390X, while giving you cutting-edge 4 GB HBM memory. It can play any game at 2560 x 1440, and at Ultra HD (3840 x 2160), with reasonable eye-candy. The R9 Fury is designed solely for AMD's AIB partners to come up with their own air-cooled products.
AMD carved the R9 Fury out of the Fiji silicon, by enabling 56 of the 64 GCN compute units physically present, yielding 3,584 stream processors. Other specifications include 224 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 4 GB of memory across a 4096-bit wide HBM interface. The core is clocked at 1000 MHz, and the memory at 500 MHz (512 GB/s). Custom-design boards will offer factory-overclocked speeds. AMD is pricing the R9 Fury at US $549.

Now, lets get to the Nano.
You can feel that things are just not going well...
Although I see promising Futures with HBM, and AMD, currently if it was between a $560 Fury, or a $500+ 980 , I'd go with the 980, and it would be the first time in ages that I wouldn't be running an AMD GPU in My System.
The 380 seems like a decent price point, and looks like it competes well enough with it's more expensive competitors, but as far as HBM card's that were SUPPOSED to compete, they've fallen a Bit short IMO....I feel its only fair to say that the FuryX IS less expensive than Say the 980Ti , but I'd have rathered it be more expensive, and faster than the Ti....We NEED this competition as consumers, and it takes TWO to tango..I sure Hope AMD gets they're thunder back SOON.
I like the look of that Ref shroud on the Fury in the article though, too bad we wont see them that way :(
First there was a strike at DHL in Germany, then ASUS Germany couldn't send it out yesterday "because it's not booked in the system yet", they sent it this morning, so fingers crossed.
AMD Radeon Glowing from my clear window lol
Can we please drop DVI ports on graphics cards already?
The Asus card (posted below in the news section) does appear to have three DisplayPort connectors which is good news.
Also, why would AMD be going backwards, they were way ahead of Nvidia when it came to adding DisplayPort connectors to their cards and now we're getting more DVI all ports all of a sudden, huh??
Fury has no reference card, BTA just picked some random picture from AMD's marketing material.
