AMD Unveils the Radeon R9 Fury X, Ready for 5K Gaming

[TRWOV]

Until we see reviews of performance and power, this presentation sounds like smoke.
In addition, 5k in just 4GB ?? unless that reduce the quality, it is hard to believe.

I suppose there is an * somewhere saying "DX12 titles only". Tiled resources will reduce VRAM usage.

 

[The Quim Reaper]

Doesn't matter how potent the hardware is if the driver support is crap..which has been the case with AMD in the last 12-18mths.

 

[moproblems99]

Can someone clarify release dates? I definitely heard 24th mentioned, but theres 3 different dates showing on different sites :s

From what I can tell, Fury X will be the 24th. Fury and Nano will be later on but I am not sure on a specific.

i max my games out at 1080 with 724\1250 with a -30mw and cuts the power usage down a load.

Really it is minimum frame rates I am trying for.

So when the fudge does the nda lift?

Availability is mid-July, but review NDA could be earlier.

I've been on nVidia for a long time, but if those claims prove to be true and AMD can match the demand, I would say they would be back in grand style.

Fury X is June 24th

If it performs as well as it sounds, those prices are pretty darn good for what your getting!

I am anxious to see these in action, more importantly I want to see this Fury Nano!!!

We all want to see the Nano in action. The high end stuff is nice but the prefect diamond in the rough is always a little lower down the line where the engineers really show us what it looks like when they find the sweet spot of every aspect of the architecture.

I hope Fury X beat Titan X and all other cards from Amd beat their counterparts from Nvidia. Comeptition will be good for consumers.

 

[RealNeil]

Competition is always good. Price wars are even better!

It all depends on what level the settings are set to while the resolution is 5k. I'm pretty sure there are a couple cards that could run 4k with the settings set to low.

I played GTA V at 5k on a Titan X around 35 fps!!

28nm ! i m pissed and severely disappointed. Does this mean 4000+ cores ? and energy consumption will be correspondingly greater, regardless of the enhancements I was expecting 20nm

I'm beginning to think you're a bot. Damn near every GPU post you keep bleating on about 20nm. When are you going to understand that Globalfoundries canned their 20nm process (20LPM), and TSMC's CLN20SOC isn't being used for large GPUs - the "SOC" in the process name? That stands for "System on (a) Chip"

 

[ne6togadno]

16 July.

 

[Darller]

Paper launches suck. We still have no benchmarks, just smoke and mirrors. Meanwhile, Nvidia gets another month of taking market share.

I was going to say the same thing. Been known for a long time that 20 wasn't happening.

Screen resolution isn't what really eats up vram and bandwidth though.

 

[Aquinus]

The Radeon R9 Fury X could be priced around the $650 mark, and will be available in mid-July. The Radeon R9 Fury, on the other hand, could be priced around the $550 mark, and come out a little sooner.

$649 for Fury X. Available June 26th

$549 for Fury. Available July 16th?

Which is it?

 

[HumanSmoke]

Which is it?

According to AMD...
On the 24th of June, the Fury X will be on store shelves for $649.

On July 14, the Fury will be on shelves for $549.

Therefore, it will not be 20 nm as I read that was problems with the manufacture of larger options and the only meantime shift the attendant date. Heck shame.

 

[Prima.Vera]

I'm kind of getting tired of all this PR crap. They are talking about 5K, when the current top current single card from AMD cannot even beat 60fps on 1440p in the latest games. Common!

This is so unless retailers jack the price up on us like they did when the R9 cards were so good at DATA Mining.
I'm sure that they're eyeing these GPUs with a lot of greed in their hearts.

It's how they roll,..........

hbm has such good latency and bandwidth that it wont matter. less buffer needed for more.
