How much can they possibly charge for 4GB VRAM and a slight OC? The £230 ASUS looks like a great deal in comparison.

The old one looks much better.
Well the old Sapphire 290X 8GB is £342, so I would hope it would be around that price as it would be silly to charge an extra £50 for 35Mhz.
For rebrands they should be priced around the same as the 970 even though they have 8gb. Anything above £350 for a 390X will be a bad decision. And why launch these rebrands at the same time as the Fury range?

8GB 390X must be cheaper than 970 or AMD are doomed
Yeah.
Has to be under £300 surely.
Or come with a 3 piece game bundle or something to sweeten the deal.
Mhm, doubt they'll shift many at that price though. Did the 8GB 290Xs even sell that well?
Really? Is it worse than THIS?Wccftech is also the worst site on the planet
He He I bet Sapphires webmaster is fuming. He goes to all the trouble of setting up the new R3xx pages then makes a start on the R9 Fury pages turns to the art guy and says right pass me the pics and spec info, and the art guy says "what pics and spec info". They then say sod it and go to the pub and leave that section blank !
Methinks someone at Sapphire is going to get a slapped danny!
Sapphire R9 FuryX
Just checking their support downloads and it seems its known as R9 Fury 4G D5 - Oops!

Can't help but feel this is AMD right now: http://i.imgur.com/uolhLlL.png
I just feel bad for the loosely-informed "upgrading" to the 390X and then being disappointed. I mean, even previous re-brands at least dropped down a tier to provide a relative performance bump.
Maybe the current-generation PC hardware enthusiasts are too young to remember it now, but it used to be that slapping on large amounts of video memory was just a cheap trick used to shift bad GPUs by using "top trumps" logic.

The 290X 8GB was a niche card for people building multi GPU 4K setups and the idiots who buy whatever sounds cool.

The whole thing is going to end up embarrassing for AMD I feel 
Because the question was is 4GB enough for 4K...the 295X2 has 4GB for each GPU, and it does not hamper it at all in 4k as it seems.
4GB is fine, at the moment, for a single card at 4k.
Multiple cards of the Titan X, and I assume Fury X, performance class need more vram.
I've seen witcher 3 and GTA 5 hitting around 3.5GB with playable framerates at 4k, given there's caching in there 4GB is fine.

How much do you guys think we will be looking at for the release of there top card the fury X?. Gonna get a new card but just don't know what to go for. Maybe I should wait till it's been released and ask which to go for then.
I would most certainly wait, because if AMD fubar it then you will bag a bargain.

He said the 295x2 beats the Titan with 4GB less RAM, run Wolfenstien on a Titan X and a 295x2 and see which comes out on top, it will be the Titan as the game does not support multi GPU.
And if the point is the 4GB, why not compare the 290X 4GB to the TitanX?
Like Kaap said Watch_dogs runs like crap at 4k on 295x2, SoM also runs like crap with ultra textures.
If there was a dual 980ti or Titan X that would be a fair comparison against the 295X2.
If it's around gtx 980ti level I would expect around £500 for the Fury Pro going upto £600 for the Fury XT
