TBH, after reading some reviews of the 980Ti and looking at the spec’s (Power usage, performance, Etc) and the way it has been released; it really wouldn’t shock me if AMD have found something special therefore Nvidia are trying to push out as many Maxwell’s as possible. It seems like the 980Ti has really touched Maxwell’s limit.

I am most likely way off the mark but what do I know.

That's what I was thinking/hoping for as well, but if nobody knows anything about the card apart from AMD, Nvidia probably don't have a clue either.
 
I am hoping it will smash the Ti/TX up as well. AMD need to win some market share back and an under performing card won't cut it.

I'm willing to bet that after HD4000 series fiasco, when they were completely clueless, Nvidia knows exactly what Fiji is.

Heck, I'm quite sure they have the sample.
 
Sad times for the gpu market, 7 month old thread and still no solid performance figures to go on. TX and nothing, 980 Ti and nothing. Do Amd think people will just hold out indefinitely?

AMD have played a masterful poker game in the last, what, 8 to 9 months?

* Hype built on the R9 390, people thought it would be revealed at GTC, so nVidia launched the Titan X to spoil it..... (crickets)

* AMD said bugger all but kept hyping the tech behind it, the pressure cooker is now hissing like a cut snake and no firm reveal date, but it *might* be computex or it's more likely to be the 18th or could be the 24th of June.

* nVidia have at this stage raped their high end customers on Titan but lacking a firm date for Fiji have enough info to suggest that Fiji will kick ass & have pulled future release and played their hand early with a cut down Titan that demonstrates that Titan was a BS offering in the first place, they are def worried.

The upshot of this is that whomever is at the helm at AMD is not going to be played like the last batch, and that they have, with an unreleased GPU spec, caused nVidia to get that bent that they released not one but 2 cards to attempt to counter it. The problem is that now nVidia is out of cards until the die shrink & new memory spec and AMD know what their performance is and what the price point is.

Good times if AMD can cause a tidalwave at a profitable price point.

not sure a game of cat and mouse about price points will help....
Whilst it is difficult to raise a price, dropping a price {gm} is no problem...so presumably if amd had saleable product at a price point they should have released it...

the benefit to amd of nvidia declaring their hand (all the while with nvidias products selling mind you), is that nvidia perhaps will struggle to raise price if amd product is not that good, thus denying nvidia some gm.
 
I just wish AMD would release some info/specs on this card, a sub 10 second video of a rendering is just a not enough when your competitor is pushing GPU's out the door by the truckload.

Well looking at the 980Ti review AMD has it's work cut out. The 290x is very inefficient verses the 980Ti, most cases the 290x is 50% behind yet both consume the amount the power.

Thinking about it again it beggars believe! 50% is huge that's effectively a whole process node worth of performance for the same power draw. Someone really needs to kick AMD's R&D into touch or roll come heads because they really have messed 28nm. If it weren't for the mining craze it could have been much worse. I thought it couldn't get any worse then when Nvidia the GTX980 against the 5870 but this situation is much worse for AMD.

Now the Fuji with HBM (the brand new one not the rebrand) do we know anything about the actual GPU? Will the new card feature a complete redesign with a new revision of GCN or is this just going another 290x with more cores, ROPS etc and HBM?

980Ti thread lasted less than 2.5 months, this one has been going for 7 now. Amd needed to do something, people will simply go sod it and buy a 980Ti.

It's almost like the Bulldozer of Graphics cards. Lets just hope this doesn't flop like Bulldozer.
 
The thing that will probably push me to the Ti is the memory capacity, just don't think 4GB is enough really for a top end card.

Yes it's new tech and yes it will be fast and yes they will be first to market for stacked memory but 4GB however fast it is is still 4GB.

at 800 euro? Dont think so.

Anyone with any kind of brain knows you wait for the cards to be dealt before you push in your bets. The Fury will likely sit at a 60% above the previous 290x series. so at Tx and a bit better performance.
Now what price points and how many Fiji cards they are coming with is unknown. If they have enough HBM they might make 4 cards one pro level 500us beating the 980 and comparable with the 980ti.

Now what do you do?
Buy early at 800 euro?
Dont think so.

Has it been confirmed anywhere that the cards will be 4GB?

I'm out if it's true.
