why would you want one

new GPUs are about to be released from AMD and nvidia on completely new architectures which will be more power efficient, run cooler, quieter, and perform better

I want one cause it is cool beans, yo.

 

I bought a 295x2 about the time fury came out. Just because there are new cards doesn't mean the old ones are obsolete. But you are right, with new cards coming out I wouldn't pay full price for it.

$1500 is stupid, you could get three used 980tis for that price or two pascal/polaris cards

 

this is a product for AMD fanboys, or the 0.000001% of the population who has $1500 to spend on a GPU for their mITX build

this is now the current best preforming single card. thats why. haha:) i'm just wondering how its cooled? the picture shows no fan, and the one in the system doesn't have WC tubes.

The tubes are hidden, if you look closely you can see them.

I've noticed that AMD comes out with a flagship card and it's usually dual gpu at a low price. R9 390X2 is around $700AUD keeping in mind that the R9 390 is around $500-$600

After reading that article and thinking about the price to performance ratio, it seems that you're better off with the R9 390X2

No, but the cores on a 390 are slower than the fury, and the extra vram is needed on the 390 because it is slower than the vram on a fury by about 50%.

Thats always the case, the top card is usually way way more than the next card down for only a little more performance.

I think that article refers to the R9 Fury X2. And they're saying that it's not worth it

how are you going to get a used fury x2 if it hasnt even been released yet

 

a new one costs $1500 and performs worse than two 980tis or two pascal/polaris GPUs

It has 8GB of HBM....so...when you consider it is HBM, not GDDR5, that is a huge thing to consider.

 

Also, for everyone else...I could never afford to spend $1,500 on a GPU....which is why I asked someoneto buy me one! :D

 

Note: No, I don't really want anyone to buy me one, I just wanted to share the article. I do hope Linus reviews it though!

First of all, neithe AMD nor Anandtech claims that this is a regular graphics card. The main reason being, and i believe this reason is why we haven't seen it earlier, is because 4GB of Vram is simply not enough for this level of ''core power''. AMD can defend themselves from consumers coupling two Fury X and struggling with VRam usage. They cannot defend themselves if they themselves are coupling two cards at the factory and selling them as regular graphics cards. Which is also why i think AMD have been strict about what companies like Asus, Saphire and MSI can do with the Fury cards.

 

AMD is marketing it as a VR content creation card.

 

The HBM1 technology is simply not fit for crossfire. AMD made the right move with the technology in my opinion. They took the most powerful core they could, and coupled it with the HBM memory. If the core had been noteworthy more powerful, users would experience Vram issues. If the core was weaker and less expensive, the money spent on the memory would be to large of a portion of the card as a whole.

 

There is a reason why the 980 has 4GB, and the 980Ti has 6GB. Some of it comes down to ''more memory chips = wider buss = higher performance'', but it's also part making the card SLI capable without having the VRAM bottleneck the core.

 

 

My opinion... the card is fairly useless, and has no real to exist, be it in the past or in the future. The limitations of HBM1 memory is simply too much. And even if marketed as a VR content creation card, you can just as easily just buy two Fury X or wait a few weeks and get two Pascal or Polaris cards.

Picture showing the internal of the GPU's cooling.

Funny if Nvidia released a "Titan Z" variation for double the price... same thing will happen just like last time haha.

 

295x2 and Titan Z still going strong though, probably this year or the next year we see single flagship GPUs take down both 295x2 and Titan Z.

you can wait until there are used units. and what if someone has space restraints and cant get two gpus. also when the titan z released it was at a insanely high price point with only 60% faster performance than a single titan while costing 300% more and people seemed to think its completely fine

titan z was triple the price with only 60% performance increase. this is 230% cost increase with about 200% performance increase and there are people with space restraints

Wait, you can find used 980tis for $500?
