AMD R9 Fury X2 - Paper Launch This Month - Available Q1 2016 - But Could Face Potential Delays

If supply is going to be at all limited, an April launch to tie in with the Occulus (and I think HTC Vive) availability might actually be a good commercial decision.

If supply isn't limited, then maybe they are looking at different coolers, as there'd be very little reason to delay it further.

People saying this will launch when Pascal is out ... unless it's delayed to June (it won't be), there's little chance of that. Even if so, I don't think that's the relevant factor, not least as I expect initial Pascal availability to make initial Fiji availability look good.

More relevant is how close it is to Arctic Islands and Greenland launch ... they ought to be more cost effective to produce as the dies will be massively smaller and it's on Samsung's LPP process. If it's pushed to May or June they ought to cancel and bring forward any dual SKUs for AI ... simply won't be worth the investment to bring to market and produce when launching it will delay AI X2(s) and gobble marketing budget from AI as a whole.

I hope they aren't being forced to look into new cooler options, as once the pump noise issues were fixed, the CM one on the FX has proved extremely capable.
 
I'm waiting on good single cards.
waiting.... waiting.... nothing can beat my 2x 290x... but then again I only use one for most of the time

DX12 means developers will focus much more on GPUs that have the highest market share, and they will become more and more dependent on assistance form the hardware vendors and 3rd party libraries like gamesworks.

Rubbish...


Game Developers focus more on the one who are in all the consoles, and that ain't Nvidia.

Now you have a ridiculous junk counter argument to your ridiculous junk statement, so you have to come back with raging counter argument. Can't let it fly, no way..... Nvidia FTW!
Tommy puts it well :)

Although would add, PC is at the bottom of the cross platform food chain.:(

People getting fed up of dual cards/mGPU in general?

Well Tonyturbo and ALXAndy have got strong various points.

Imo mgpu isn't worth the hassle anymore.

After SLi twice and four CrossFire setups, I finally ditched it due to reading CDPR W3 AMD optimisation(Turn GW's Off:() announcement.

Enough was enough, considering the outlay, the lack of support is ludicrous, be it vendor incompetence/blocking access to vendor specific driver optimisation/devs refusing to code mgpu paths/hacking profiles to get unsupported profiles to work'ish/stutter/system instability/TIME:mad:

AMD/Nvidia mgpu, don't make me laugh, more like AMD/Nvidia mugU!:p
