AMD should price their cards as they did the 290X/290.

The Flagship Fiji being 450+, and the second tier Fiji being 350+.

300 pound shouldn't be an upgrade option for someone currently with a 290X.

If a full Fiji is no faster than a 980TI then a cut Fiji isn't going to be much faster than a 980, be that as it may £350 for a cut Fiji may still not be cheap enough if it also has a 300 watt TDP. and £350 is what the rumored 290X rebox is rumoured to cost.

Really, really hope that this AMD release will be competitive. Having one major player does not bode well for the end user, price wise.

It needs to be way way way under £500, a 290 is under £250, what 290 owner is going to look at a 290X rebox for £350 and how many 290X owners who didn't buy their GPU's early are going to up their budget by £200?

290/X owners with £300 budgets have nothing, 280X owners with £300 budgets have nothing if the rumored £350 Price is correct.

Well, there is always Nvidia. if these rumors are true AMD are about to fall flat on their face and probably never recover.

I reckon a lot of those people would be willing to go to £400/450 for a card that's somewhere between the 980 and 980 Ti, which would be a significant improvement over the 290X.

AMD won't leave that price point dry. They can't.

You're always telling us how AMD can't keep doing these low prices.

Like I say, I just want 40% over my 290X at 450.
If I can get 30% at 350, I'll get a cut Fiji and clock it.

I'm pretty sure (as in 99.9%) that all the data that's not included in the card's bios is just pulled from the gpu-z database. AMD/AIBs don't put card release dates, transistor counts, manufacturing nodes, die sizes etc. into the bios. Those are manually added into the databse by techpowerup staff after launch when they've been confirmed.

The GPU gets detected by the device ID and then clocks etc. info is gathered because that's something that gpu-z does have access to.

Since the database hasn't properly been updated for the 300 series the gpu-z application is still pulling the 200 series information even though the bios/drivers of the card gets read as 300 series.

So until gpu-z and the databases get properly updated GPU-Z will always show the R9 290 release date that they have logged in their database:

But again, it makes very little difference. The GPUID is for hawaii and the clocks etc. are quite clear.

an informed post whatever next. well said!
 
The fury has to be in 295X2 ball park to kill the titian.

The 390X will have to match or beat the 980Ti, if not then its game over for AMD! :(

The Fury is not going to do anything to the Titan X as it only comes with 4gb of memory making it a non contest @2160p.:)

AMD GPU wise are very geared up for sub-28nm - I can't see them not returning to competitive at the very least with that (though things could be very grim for them in the interim) - nVidia seems to have managed to make the best of a bad job with 28nm better.

The 390X just has to match or beat the 980 for <£350.

If it is just a 290X rebox they will sell less well than the 290X currently does (if that's even possible) with a mass of current 290/X users switching to a 970/980.
 
Even with 2x8pin the new triple fan Strix cooler ASUS are bringing out with the 980ti should easily be able to cool the Fury* so hopefully we will see a Fury Strix, that would be awesome but the comedy factor is it looks like the cooler would be double the length of the PCB :D

*based on the fact that the two fan Strix cooler handles the 250w of a GTX780 fine and the 980ti is 250w too, and the 980ti will be running a 200MHz+ OC to take advantage of the additional cooling available, so Fury's "potential" heat would be contained.
 
I don't think these high end cards make up enough of their market share for it to be game over.

EDIT: I just checked the steam hardware survey for May.

More people are playing at 800x600 than at 3840 x 2160.

How.

Fury should be gunning for Titan X / 980ti (performance is so similar on both anyway).

390X should be aiming for 980.

One of the first things I will do with the Fury XT is load Watch Dogs @2160p maxed out and see it perform exactly the same way as the 4gb 290X -

Blank Screen

Game won't load properly

PC reboot required.

4gb is 4gb unless AMD want to re write every game available to use memory differently.
