It just seems strange that none of the big review sites like Linus, Ryan or Kitguru have review samples. I would want my product being sung about if I was confident in it!

I'm still waiting on reviews, but Fury X needs to have good reviews and beat a 980Ti by 10%+ for me to consider 4GB VRAM for 4K.
I know 10%+ doesn't sound like much, but at 4K it is the difference between 40 and 45 FPs.

Because these sites 'care' about GPU consumers so much, I'm sure they will purchase their own cards to make sure the 'truth' gets out!

I'm not going to critique him over that. At the end of the day Crossfire was completely broken and AMD would not have done a sausage about it had they not been caught in the act.
So no, I don't blame Ryan for that no matter what his motives were (you could clearly see him revelling in the fame it got him and the attention he was getting, and you can sniff just a whiff of Nvidia fanboy but it was still very important).
Whatever he does now? meh, couldn't give a toss really.
So, still a overpriced, interim, stutter-fest, then.

No need for any whining in the interim then!
I really don't blame Amd not giving their cards to certain people as it would be like them giving their cards to Nvidia to write a unbiased review. It would be a silly thing to do.
It would be like giving the Fury X to LambChop or the OCuk forum NV pack to review and expecting a truthful review. Ain't going to happen.

It's all subjective, you feel 4K is a stutter fest and pointless. I find the clarity and sharpness to be a revelation.

I e-mailed AMD about a press request today but I'm not hopeful

Guess we'll have to disagree, then.
For me (running at much less than 4k), I find anything below 60 fps (a low figure in itself to some), to be pretty horrible when playing mouse + kb. 40-45 fps at any res. is just unacceptable to me.

I'd choose 144hz 1440p over 4k 60 anyday 
It was clearly made to discredit AMD and expose the difference as AMD wasnt aware of this themselves but that also allowed AMD to work on this to beat Nvidia to that game so I would say it did backfire on Nvidia in the end. The XDMA crossfire trough pcie is such an answer allowing AMD to skip the bridges.
I am excited to find out what AMD did to crossfire and Fury and what they will have with Dx12 and win 10 as we are transitioning into that now and anything dx11 is old now as in 7 weeks its all win 10.
The future of gaming is about to arrive as DX11 turns to dust.

PCPer were positive about the 390x and praised it a lot. :cofused:, The negative reviews I've seen are Toms Hardware and Kitguru. Tom's were messing around with the drivers and using older versions as they couldn't get the latest one stable on the 200 series, I haven't seen the Kitguru video or review yet so I won't comment.

I found this video on VESA's channel about HDMI 2.0 adapters:

The prototype was doing 4K60 on the show floor in early Jan, but there appears to be some pretty huge obstacles in making an actual product.

Pretty sure that's what was implied when I used the word subjective.

Adapters are never ideal, hopefully they can pull it off though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and I can't remember where, but didn't Gibbo say that he had his in a different thread that he was messing with? Or was he referring to a different card?
