GIGABYTE Announces its Radeon R9 Fury X Graphics Card

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.

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 :laugh:

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
