**AMD Fiji Thread**

what cpu to power 4 x furyx AMD Matt? got an FX9590 to test with as well?

5960x.

I have a FX8370E in the second rig but i won't be putting the Fury X's in that as once i have them setup in first rig (Phanteks Enthoo Primo) i won't be taking it apart again. Thing weighs a ton and it will be too much work to start removing stuff once it's on the desk.

Nano on the other hand could find a home in the second rig.
 
I don't know somthing does not sit well with having to pre order blind without reviews, also worried that the only inital reviews will be from AMD's chosen sites who will abide by there review "suggestions".

Looks like we will have to wait for impartial reviews until sites can buy a card themselves or until individuals provide reviews.

When you can pre-order. There will be reviews. Going by the 3 series release reviews popped up about 20 mins before they appeared for sale on the shop.

Agreed with individual reviews but thats the same with every release. I'll just be pre-ordering. By the time the order is anywhere near being fulfilled plenty of reviews will be out. If its bad news, just cancel the pre-order.

AMD R9 Fury X Playing Sniper Elite III at 12K Resolution and 60 FPS

Sniper Elite III is successfully run on a three monitor setup for an effective resolution of 12K.
The demo that AMD had setup had a PC with an unknown processor (likely Haswell-E) with a single Radeon R9 Fury X running the initial level from Sniper Elite III. The performance was more than outstanding though it wasn’t always a constant 60 FPS. Any dips were more than manageable and it played very smoothly, meaning it hit the target far more often than not, even in complex scenes. This may even be due in part to the frame rate target control mechanism new to the Fury X.
HBM and effective memory utilization, as AMD themselves has said, could be the more appropriate answer to that of higher resolutions rather than just increasing the available video memory. One of the chief architects on Fiji mentioned that when they took a look at what was actually happening with the memory being marked as utilized they found that a good deal of that data was either redundant or wasted space altogether. More memory, then, certainly isn’t the answer at all.
With HBM and better memory management we can achieve higher and higher resolutions without needing an increase in memory capacity. And we can then enjoy games such as Sniper Elite III at extreme resolutions at great performance. Such memory management can benefit all card makers as well.
