AMD Fury X Far Cry 4 game performance from AMD

[SOLO_AVENGER]

I'm pretty certain HBM is too expensive to create low-mid end cards at all and Fiji is strongly tied with the technology, so cutting Fiji down to create a new range of low-mid cards wasn't possible or made no sense in terms of cost or end user experience. Also it would make no sense to create even another GPU solely for low-mid range.

 

The prices are way too high, though. I was expecting 390X to undercut 970 but I guess the 8GB GDDR5 isn't free after all. Just tells the tale of AMDs profit margins in 2XX (and 3XX) series.

They'd normally rebrand most of their old lineup, but they would usually release a new card as the x90x and just lower older cards, they wouldn't make a completely different lineup of cards. I wasn't saying that they would put HBM on the low-mid range cards.

The truth is even though its 4gb "allegedly". The fact that it is water cooled at that size makes it a over clocking monster. I'm enthused Cuz later at the end of the year we WILL see a 6gb version with the same size...has anyone seen the specs for the r9 nano?

We may not see a 6gb card anytime soon. I hope its wrong but people have been saying its currently a technical limitation with this first gen HBM.

You gotta also take account AMDs current situation, not being best it could be. Honestly, they may be struggling in terms of money.

 

I'm pretty sure Fiji cards are somewhere near zero profit, and they're keeping themselves alive by getting profits from 3XX series. Fijis are just too cheap, but needed to keep themselves "in the game" even if it wouldn't bring profits right away.

So that looks pretty damn good.

That is not only LTT. That is anywhere that you're free to be as anonymous as you want, and as intelligent as the engineers of the products.

 

 

Funny isn't it?  The internet offers people complete anonymity where they can choose their persona and control exactly how people see them when they engage in any debate/discussion.  Then they go and choose to present themselves as irrational fanboy's. This speaks volumes about the human psyche.

Never believe AMD's benchmarks. Just wait for official unbiased reviews. After the 390X fiasco....I don't trust anything they say unless it's confirmed.

 

I know Fury should be good...regardless... but there is way too much speculation at this point. RELEASE THE KRAKEN ALREADY.

After the 390X fiasco....I don't trust anything they say unless it's confirmed.

Everybody is waiting for independant reviews; embargo ends on Wednesday I think. But what was the 390x fiasco? Did they lie about something?

Isn't it funny that a rebranded rebrand (2011 architecture) still is up par with the latest and greatest of green team. It's purely a business move to get rid of old inventory and the money is tight, plus the 300 are somewhat better and now with less tdp anyway. So

Its actually not quite up to par, Nvidia pulled ahead in efficiency with Maxwell 2.0

See I'm an Nvidia guy (usually).  I have a 770 in my build, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.

 

But this... This excites me.

 

Only experience I've had with AMD cards has been with generally low-end (270x, 7750, etc.) stuff in friend's computers.

The fact that a high-end AMD card is for the first time in years beating Nvidia on price to performance is honestly kind of awesome.  If AMD can use the rest of their R&D budget to become competitive with Nvidia on the feature side as well, while making a serious performance CPU concurrently... we could get some seriously interesting competition here for the first time in a while.

 

Now? I'm seriously considering switching from my 770 to a Fury next year for Oculus.  Well played AMD. Well played.

Last time I checked AMD had the price/performance crown for quite some time, sadly people just blindly buy Nvidia.

I'm saying that building both AMD and Nvidia powered systems, and going back and forth on them.

And having friends who all want Nvidia GPUs, even tough they haven't looked at a benchmark in all their lives.

I guess when I say price to performance I mean on the high-end (since thats what I care about.) On the lower-end, yeah AMD all the way

Sadly the Fury X doesn't meet that Price/Performance Bar, so I guess 980Ti G1 for me Back to team Green.
