AMD Unveils Fiji Based Dual-GPU Graphics Card
AMD unveiled the fastest graphics card money will be able to buy, a dual-GPU graphics card based on its swanky new "Fiji" silicon. This card will feature 8 GB of memory, and packs two "Fiji" cores in an internal multi-GPU configuration. The card will offer smooth 5K (four times 1440p resolution) gaming. Fiji introduces 50% improvements in performance-per-Watt over the previous-generation "Hawaii" silicon, while staying at 28 nm.

want to see if 4gb is at all a problem with so much bandwidth
The 50% increase in power efficiency is nice to hear. Maybe this won't be a flop.
Let's not ignore Fiji - it looks pretty damn awesome right now but we need to wait for the reviews (Booooooo!).
But really, a 290X in a new jacket and call it a "New Era" - GTFO.
I am a fan of XFX as they have allways good good by me how ever i am not a fan of AMD although i am still very happy with my 290X near 2 years later.
I be waiting on 8GB Fury card or what ever nVidia come up with at that time.
I will say the stack pricing from 390X down isn't compelling, using the added memory and whatnot to prop-up pricing doesn't work. Especially on what's being called gelded Pitcairn and Bonaire parts!
I can't say if AMD truly, as of yet offered pricing on the line-up but site's are showing...
390X - $430 being shown... can't see that, should not be any more than $360 for AIB custom.
390 - $330 ~ s/b $280 (nice OC'd AIB custom up to $20 more)
380 - $200 ~ s/b $170 starting for 2Gb and 4Gb +$20
370 - $150 ~ s/b $130 starting for 2Gb and 4Gb +$20
360 - $110 ~ s/b $80
A 390 8Gb should with a 1Ghz clock could look good against many 970 customs, though I can't see holding the same MSRP as a 970, AMD has to best in performance and really press on price.
With the 380 sure they're given it 1GHz, though no change to memory clock, kind of blah. Nvidia has the efficiency angle (even better now), while has no problem dropping 960 price as definitely they work a lower cost BOM (small die 128-Bit, less power section PCB etc).
Then AMD believes they should be able to send a 370 (aka a R7 265) back in at the same MSRP as a year and half ago! o_O The 265 has been a $130 USD part and that without a rebate... I'm being super generous at $130, and that's for AIB OC customs, then for those who really see need for 4Gb please send your money. Considering I would go with a 750 over the old R7 260, now with a bump of memory clock and bandwidth while launching with the same pricing as back in Dec 2013... forget-about-it :shadedshu:
I'm not blind.
And FTR - I like what Fiji has - it's awesome looking so far.
Found it on Hexus site: I win.
Either way, looking forward to seeing it in awhile.
This card does have two Fijis on it.
Strange question of the month award goes to you for asking though. :wtf:
