**AMD Fiji Thread**

Thanks, now we can get back to talking about fiji, the thing the thread is actually about :D

Someone posted before the thread closed that Fiji is confirmed GCN 1.2, not 1.3 as some people expected. Anyone got a source for that?

1.2 makes sense. Fiji is basically bigger Tonga with HBM :p
 
Ouch Fury FP64 performance is twice slower than 390X, absolutely useless to bitcoin miners and also has no HDMI 2.0 port too.

No one bitcoin mines on GPU's anymore anyway, its hilarious inefficient compared to ASICs :)

No HDMI 2.0 is kinda meh, but I am sure there will be an cable/adapter you can get from DP if you really need that.
 
but HDMI 2.0 can dole out 4K video without compromise, at 50 and 60 frames per second. In HDMI 1.4, the rate of 4K was limited to 24 frames per second.
Meh don't see why you'd use hdmi unless you want audio over it

Tempted to grab one but how hot and loud are they compared to a 980?

My first 280x was loud as hell, think it was windforce too the card ran at stupid temps compared to the 280x I got instead

kinda put me off amd since the first card was like having a hair drier inside my pc case

EDIT yup was a Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X Rev2.0 WindForce 3X OCI (I think the fans were always at 80%+ gaming and the temp something stupid like 70-80c+ creplaced it with Asus Radeon R9 280X DirectCUII TOP which was much quieter and about 10c cooler

But if AMD still have a rep for stupidly hot cards again this generation I think I'll pass

The fury x runs at 32db and 50 0c according to AMD so most likely the quietest and coolest running card on the market. This is due to the aio water cooler on it.
