AMD Radeon R9 Fury X Confirmed SKU Name for "Fiji XT"

The bets are off, AMD's latest flagship graphics card will indeed get a fancy name, and it will be named Radeon R9 Fury X. Korean tech-site HardwareBattle leaked a product flyer with the SKU name, and its catchphrase "revolutionary, inside out." Based on the 28 nm "Fiji" silicon, the R9 Fury X is expected to feature 4,096 stream processors, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and a 4096-bit wide HBM memory interface, holding 4 GB of memory.

The reference-design Fury X will come with an AIO cooling solution, likely designed by Asetek, featuring a Cooler Master made fan, ventilating its 120 x 120 mm radiator. Just as the Radeon R9 290X did away with D-Sub (VGA) support (even with dongles), Fiji does away with the DVI connector. You still get three DisplayPort 1.2a ports, and a single HDMI 2.0 connector. The card has been pictured on the web featuring two 8-pin PCIe power connectors.

the54thvoidIt's what you want it to be but if you take the percentile scores as points:

290x = 72
980ti = 100
diff = 28
28/72 = 38% The 980ti is 38% faster than the 290x.

Or in other parlance, the 290X is only 72 % as fast as the 980ti. %'s make it difficult to analyse this way (IMO). A review total fps average would give a more arithmetically pleasing outcome to the argument. :)
i didnt think of it in that way :) you are right!
arbiterYea speaking of AMD fanboyz how bad they hype the hell outta a card that have no proof its even as good as they think.
Yea 7 months ago all AMD fan boyz were ALL over nvidia only putting 4gb on gtx980 saying it wasn't enough. Amazing how AMD does it and it is enough 7 months later. Funny how the hypocrisy works isn't it?
My point was gtr will give the ferrari a run for its money. while costing a lot less.
spewing negativity about a product that hasnt been tested yet is at least pointless. lets just wait for the benchmarks.. ok? :)
RejZoRAnd then you convert those lovely % into actual framerate and it ends up being a 5fps difference. Talk framerate, not %... Not because I'm a fanboy or anything, but anyone who follows graphic cards seriously knows that % always sounds so glorious and then you check actual framerate difference and it's negligible difference. And then you take into an account that one card is 1 year old and another absolutely brand new and makes you wonder wtf was NVIDIA "improving"... Again, not a fanboy, just being realistic...
+1 to that! if though, one wants the absolute top in performance and does not care about the cost, the titan is the product to buy. on the other hand for the 80% of the people anything above 300$ is an overkill imo.

GreiverBlade... (i suspect it's the HBM who limit the vRAM to 4gb but no biggies ... 8gb is still not really common and 4K is also not common :D altho most 4k gaming can be done with 4gb and for those who are satisfied with 1080p monitor, well no need to explain :D ) ...
Yes it's the HBM but I think the reason it's 4GB is the newness and cost of the technology right now, and I see the manufacturing process evolve quickly to make it possible to do 8GB at a reasonable cost and reliability.
But I'm just guessing of course, but we've seen such things before in cutting edge tech obviously.

why you add a "but" :laugh: it's technically what i meant by writting "i suspect it's the HBM who limit the vRAM...etc" new tech and cost yep ... not physical or electrical limitation.

for me your guess is right :toast:
