AMD announced no less than five new products based on its swanky new 28 nm "Fiji" silicon, the company's most powerful GPU, packing over 8 TFLOP/s of raw compute power, and the first GPU to feature stacked HBM (high-bandwidth memory), moved to the GPU package, and communicating with the GPU die over a special silicon substrate called the interposer. The "Fiji" silicon will enable AMD to target NVIDIA's entire high-end GPU lineup.

The first product is Project Quantum. This is a console-sized SFF gaming desktop designed by AMD, which will be sold by the company's add-in board partners. Despite its diminutive size, the desktop packs two "Fiji" GPUs in AMD CrossFireX, and an AMD 64-bit x86 machine driving the rest. All main components (the CPU, the chipset, and the two GPUs), are liquid-cooled. This desktop will enable smooth 4K/5K gaming in the living room.



Next up, is the Radeon R9 Fury X. AMD's most important product announcement, this product is a liquid-cooled single-GPU graphics card based on "Fiji," with all its on-die components unlocked, and the highest clock speeds. This card, AMD claims, could play games at 5K (four times 1440p resolution). The card will be widely available in mid-July, and will be priced around the $650 mark. It will compete with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 980 Ti and GTX TITAN X graphics cards.

Then there's the Radeon R9 Fury (non-X). This will be AMD's second-best single-GPU graphics card based on "Fiji," some models will come liquid-cooled, others air-cooled. The product will still be 4K worthy, and be priced around the $550 mark. It is expected to seat itself in an interesting price-performance equation that's bang in the middle of NVIDIA's GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti, while being just $50 pricier than the former.

AMD surprised the audience with a third single-GPU product based on "Fiji," called the Radeon R9 Nano. This card has higher performance than the Radeon R9 290X, with half its power draw. The card itself is 6 inches long, about the size of an ASUS DirectCU Mini product, and is air-cooled, with a single-fan cooling solution. Its pricing is not confirmed, but this could prove to be the most important Fiji derivative for AMD. It will compete with the GeForce GTX 970 on both pricing and performance. Its trump card? 4 GB of HBM. All of which is usable at screaming high bandwidth.

It didn't end there, AMD announced a [yet unnamed] dual-GPU graphics card based on Fiji. Its availability and pricing details are completely under the wraps, but it's safe to speculate that it will be a liquid-cooled product, much like the R9 295X2, feature 8 GB of HBM memory, and will be the fastest graphics card money can buy.

I have freaking absolutely no clue since I couldn't watch the damn live stream, but if anything, this Fury Nano sounds intereting. At least freaking something. Otherwise this would be the most dreary product launch in my life...

Didn't they say the Nano was 2x the perf per watt of the 290X? Wouldn't that be 100% more efficient? Or am I stupid?

You are right. R9 Nano has higher performance than 290X at half its power draw. GTX 970 is fvcked.

I wonder why AMD is even bothering with R9 390 series.

Nano sounds soooooooo sweeeeeettttt!!!! :rockout: :respect:

If it performs better than the 290X I'd guess it will have 48CUs (3072 shaders). The silver lining is HBM of course.

Looks great and all, but it just releases too late for me. I want to upgrade before the summer, when I'm gonna use my PC a lot. I guess I'll just grab a nice GTX 980...

So the pricing was a lot lower than expected. To add to the shoe eating phenomenon I think there are a few people who will be eating their shoes as well when it comes to the pricing. $650 for the Fury X is not a bad deal at all considering where its supposed to be. The Fury will be interesting mostly if its performance is still very high or like that of the R9 290 was (Compared to the 290X I mean).

This Nano Fury though is a curve ball...That explains quite a lot honestly and sounds great. However I really need to see numbers before I believe that.

Exactly. If R9-380X was what they made R9-390X into and R9-390X be the "Fury Nano", I'd be running naked around my village with a shoe in my mouth screamining FUCK YEAH AMD! Instead I'm just staring at the screen in a facepalm position saying "WHY AMD!?" like a crazy man...
And you were worried :p

Well I'm not gonna pay more than 400€ for a graphic card that's for sure, no matter how "affordable" it is against competition ro whatever.

I think the rebrand is fine, it's the price that irks me. They both should be no more than $60 difference than their predecessors. If the leaks are all true (which it seems likely) all we're paying for is an overclock and 4GB more vram. It's definitely not worth the $120 that the 390X is asking over the 290X imo.

The release of several Fury cards somewhat changes things. Initially it was said they'll only be releasing Fury X and vanilla Fury. I'm guessing the Nano is actually the lowest end Fury. I just don't get it why they haven't used that for R9-390X instead and rebranded R9-380X. That would make far more sense and no one would be outraged.

I'll save the outrage until after there is public testing and reviews for the cards... Aw heck, even if they aren't great my outrage levels will be low.

I'm guessing price and strategy

Fury X @ $649
Fury @ $549

R9 Nano @ ?

390X @ $429
390 @ $329

380 @ $199


No 380X because they want to counter a potential 960 Ti. R9 Nano wont be out until late Q3 to counter 970 Ti or slot into a $449 and price drop the 390X. 290X 8GB can be found for $380-$400

Is W1zz going to do a 390X review, where much like the heat and power consumption of the 980Ti and 4K gaming is the focus?

Well, to be fair, they're adding a new stack and the 370 was taken down to R7:

Radeon R9 200 series:
R9 270, 270X
R9 280, 280X, 285
R9 290, 290X

Radeon 300 series:
R7 370
R9 380, 380X
R9 390, 390X
Nano, Fury, Fury X

So in AMD's product linethe 380/X is taking the place of the 270/X

I expect that as well Xzibit, I bet they will price drop the 390/X for the Nano and price it at $449

R9 290 -> R9 380
R9 Nano -> R9 390
Fury -> R9 390x
Fury X -> Fury

Something like that is how it should be imo. Given what we know now. Or maybe Nano -> 390X and keeping Fury as it is now. Anyway Nano is intriguing. Or it all comes together when the reviews comes in.

the differences between Fury X and Fury. Both cards feature AMD’s brand new Fiji GPU and stacked High Bandwidth Memory technology. Fury X will be AMD’s highest end offering, the Radeon flagship. The card is based on Fiji XT with 4096 updated gcn stream processors, the fully unlocked variant of the Fiji GPU. Fury is also based on Fiji silicon, however it will be powered by Fiji Pro a slightly less powerful variant with a few GCN compute units disabled.
