Update on Wccf :-

Update: Our sources close to AMD have reported that any reports of performance issues at this time are pointless. We have concrete confirmation that the GPU will launch at E3 – so we have something to look forward to very soon and will get a chance to see its final performance as well.

lol
 
That has to be the most worthless tech site there is, nothing but click bait. And as usual all they do is post news going both ways so they can point to the "news" they were right on and act like its something special. Through enough crap to the wall and some of its gonna stick, especially if your story keep changing.
 
AMD are seen as more of a value for money brand period.

But that is no accident that is where AMD have deliberately put themselves with their product releases and market strategy ever since the 3870 which was the first true AMD video card (2900XT did come out after ATI were purchased but would have been in development long before AMD came along).

There's nothing wrong with being a value for money brand but when your cards don't offer great benefits they will just become known as cheap and cheerful which isn't what AMD wants.

Personally I liked them better when it was ATI, you knew when Nvidia launched a new video card ATI was only a week or two behind with a response or vice versa. Each company fought tooth and nail for the performance crown and no quarter was given. Then AMD came along raised the white flag in the out right performance battle. Boo!

183 pages and no more information than at the start XD

Lets face all we've done so far in this thread is give a load of site traffic to a bunch of worthless websites.

It doesn't need to be.

If you take the 285 and double its Shader count to 3592, give it 7/10 scaling.
What you end up with is a 918Mhz card 30% faster than 1000Mhz 290X @ about 380 Watts (and that's with 32 Memory IC's instead of the 16 it would have, take another 40 Watts off that)
That would put it right between a 980 and a 980TI

Now if a GDDR5 3592 Shader 918Mhz Tonga GPU can manage that how is it that a 4096 Shader 1050Mhz HBM GPU cannot better it?

So either AMD have gone backwards with HBM or someones trolling.

What is the source that you are suddenly taking as gospel all of a sudden? Just curious as to why it should be given so much credence?
 
I am sure some of you are related to "The Billy Goats Gruff" - I have been called a troll so many times, I am starting to believe it :D
 
Don't tell anyone, but my friend's Mam's Granny works as a cleaner at AMD headquarters somewhere or other. Apparently she was cleaning out the bogs (or 'cans' as they call them at these secret headquarters) and overheard two of their head engineers discussing the specs of the new Fury ZOMG Edition. They could only squeeze 6.1Gb of HBM memory onboard before the yields drop unacceptably low. The card idles at 51C, but owing to the new octa-fan reference cooler it only gets up to 62C under full load. It's as quick as five Titan Xs or four 980Tis.

It'll retail at $299 in the US, which they expect will translate to 799 euros or £699 in the UK.

That was completely believable right up until the point about 5 titans or 4 980ti's.
We all know it should be 5 Titans or 4 1/2 980ti's. :)

Porky pies.
 
People are getting all worked up over the AIO cooler but it's quite likely many here will not plump for the SKU that has it as it will likely be a clock bump only. Right? I mean, stands to reason a company that sells quadfire would offer the top model in a blower.

Still hoping for that fullmetal dealy, it's a CoolIt design just like the AIO...
