But... that's not how it works....

Also, nice to see this is the card set to become the king of all 28nm cards, seeing how Nvidia isn't going to release any dual maxwell cards. This year has me optimistic about AMD, as long as Zen doesn't crap out then I believe they are on the road to recovery.

DX12 might for some games.

I believe this card will truly shine with DX12 games.

Woah woah woah. A 375w card made from 2 cards with a tdp of over 250w each? I need to see this to believe it.

 

I think it will be more of 2 nano's not 2 fury x's (the high efficient binned chips)

It's likely the exact same thing the nanos did. After all they are clocked at the same speed and 175x2 is much more reasonable than 250x2. Now who cares provided no one goes full regard and uses air cooling, since overclocking... Duh.

You're right but 4gb hbm is good enough for 8k gaming. the Fury X can compete with the 980 ti and titan x at those resolutions

Is this rlly the type of shit AMD should be focusing on right now...?

Smh -_-

 

 

new gpu price ranges? Why not? It's not like they're going to magically release their new gen faster if they dont do this.

 

 

I wonder if it scales with using a dual GPU, or if the architecture limits its from hitting its peak, 

But thats like 14 b transistors in one card, 15 gflops of power

they're talking about a 80% scaling. AMD is much better at crossfire then Nvidia is at SLI

 

edit: Would it be so hard to make a single chip with twice the surface area instead of splitting into 2 chips?

Just like the SRAM in Xbone, developers need to design their game/program to use it.

Probably-they'd have to redesign the GPU however.

Interesting. Never quite noticed the difference HBM made, probably because nobody normally tests past 4k.

The reason why is because either they physically cannot make a die that big, or that if they did the yields woulds be ridiculously low.  

I am conducting some polls regarding your opinion of large technology companies. I would appreciate your response.

Yay - it's TDP (and likely power draw) will be on par with a GTX 480 ^_^

Shhh.....you'll make AMD want to use their version of Thermi's cooler.

Blower coolers for all! :D - funnily enough - I wonder what a 3-slot blower cooler would be like

I'm hoping game devs stop being lazy by the time I buy Zen(if it's good) and Arctic Islands.

But wasn't the only difference between them the cooler, clock speed, and power delivery?

Didn't the nanos never reach 1000mhz without bumping up the voltage though? They usually only reached around 900mhz, so wouldn't the actual tdp still be higher?

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

If something doesn't need to be implemented, it wont be used.

you can't reduce the TPD by 100W by reducing clockspeed by 100MHz - it's a reworked power-delivery and very high-binned chips

Just like the 390/390X. Although in those cases AMD binned the GPU, and left the rest to the graphics card manufacturers.

With the PCB size of HBM-based cards, it's high time for a triple-GPU card.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

to a certain extent yes - though they did fix some flaws in the power delivery

last ichecked they throtled due to heat not voltage. since this is watercooled that won't be the case.

I believe they'd have to be using much higher binned chips (like the Fury Mini) as well as the fact that they're powering a single board as opposed to two.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

Welp, Ares 4 confirmed pretty much.

My poor wallet.

i will be saving for an ares 5 since i already have a dual fiji machine preordered. hope you will join me on the 5 battlefield from Ares :D
