GIGABYTE Announces its Radeon R9 Fury X Graphics Card

[btarunr]

GIGABYTE announced availability of its AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card. Based entirely on AMD's reference design, the card features reference clocks of 1050 MHz core, and 500 MHz (512 GB/s) HBM clocks. Since the card lacks DVI connectors, GIGABYTE is including a DP-DVI adapter in its package. Based on the 28 nm "Fiji" silicon, the R9 Fury X offers 4,096 stream processors, 256 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and a 4096-bit wide HBM interface, holding 4 GB of memory. The compact card is cooled by a factory-fitted closed-loop liquid cooling solution. The card is generally available at US $649.99.

You may have a typo there bud:

You may have a typo there bud:

what the memory clock? the real clock is indeed 500mhz

what the memory clock? the real clock is indeed 500mhz

Then I'm confused, because if it's four memory stacks, then 500mhz x 4 = 2ghz roughly? Or am I missing something?

i don't have the detail but as it doesn't work like GDDR5 and have a huge bandwidth, the effective clock is unknown to me.
tho ... i wouldn't assume you simply multiply the mhz by the number of stack otherwise in the case of my 290 you do 16X1350mhz

and judging by the performances (at 1440 and more) 4gb of HBM @500 does just as fine as 6gb of GDDR5 @1750

edit: it seems the effective clock is 1ghz versus 7ghz (Fury X to 980Ti)

Not GDDR5. The effective frequency is pretty much like DDR. 2x500 MHz= 1GHz
If you mean how the heck it gets so much bandwidth... wide as f*ck memory bus: 4096 bit (512 Byte), meaning 512 GB/s
