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.

Where did you get that 38%?
to the point: very excited! waiting for benchmarks. no point in speculating.. :D
I'd say that 4GB can be enough, considering a proper coded game, even at 4K (see Witcher 3, which never goes above 3GB, even at max. settings). I guess for anything more demanding, you need a faster card anyways (or two for that matter).
DX12 has resource binding and split frame rendering which will help with VRAM usage and allows for combining VRAM if you choose to use more than one card.
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. :)
Repeat after me AMD: "I...am...sofa...king...re...tod...did"
A Nissan GTR should not ever be spoken in the same sentence as...ANY Ferrari. That is a Period at the end of that sentence, it is significant.
Also, there is not a Nissan, EVER, including racing vehicles, that are faster than a Ferrari, unless you take an old Daytona versus a Nissan F1, Red Bull car. Drivers not included.
Straight up, one mile acceleration test, against the clock, same driver, Ferrari wins. Hands down.
Not to mention, consumer vehicles, where price vs. quality makes all the difference. The new GTR? Junk. Ferrari La Ferrari, or even the new 488 Turbo?
If you cannot tell the difference, this point is mute.
Back to the POINT, if the Fury is a Ferrari, calling the 980ti a Nissan, is an insult. So, You must then be a Radeon FanBoi trying to disguise yourself? Nah, Prolly just a Nvidean with no sense.
FUD on, Nobody, at this point is even close to correct, about anything BUT conjecture.
Although, this crap can be, a little, entertaining. :p
AMD and partners will release different versions of this card I suspect that doesn't include water cooling.
