AMD Unveils the Radeon R9 Fury X, Ready for 5K Gaming
AMD CEO Lisa Su announced the company's latest super high-end graphics card, the Radeon R9 Fury X. The company claims this graphics card will be your gateway to 5K (that's four times 1440p) gaming. The card leverages AMD's new "Fiji" silicon, featuring stacked HBM (high-bandwidth memory), which offers significant performance and performance-per-Watt improvements over the previous generation. The company also announced the Radeon R9 Fury, the company's second-best card based on "Fiji," and the R9 Nano, the third-best product. The R9 Nano is about the size of an ASUS DirectCU Mini, is air-cooled, with performance significantly higher than the R9 290X, and half its power draw.
The Radeon R9 Fury X could be priced around the $650 mark, and will be available in mid-July. The Radeon R9 Fury, on the other hand, could be priced around the $550 mark, and come out a little sooner. The R9 Nano is the dark horse here, and could be AMD's most important product among the three, since it could go head on against the GeForce GTX 970 in both pricing and performance. Its biggest feature over the GTX 970 is 4096 MB of usable memory at half-a-terabyte per second speeds. The R9 Fury could seat itself in an interesting price-performance position between the GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti; while the R9 Fury X could go head on against the GTX 980 Ti, and GTX Titan X. There's a dual-GPU product based on the "Fiji" silicon, which AMD is trying to launch very soon. There's nothing from NVIDIA's current product lineup that can match that.

In addition, 5k in just 4GB ?? unless that reduce the quality, it is hard to believe.
$549 for Fury. Available July 16th?
That Nano sound interesting.
They literally mentioned Fury nano having 2x perf/Watt of a 290x.
Would be quite the achievement.
For example: it can have the exact same performance of 290X @ half 290X's watts.
We'll see when the reviews hit the web.
Would be impressive either way if the 2x is correct, would mean 290x performance at 125-150Watt,... which is better than what Nvidia achieved with maxwell.
(to begin with)
Did anyone manage to catch a glimpse of the nano's power connectors?
