Clearly the wattage isn't directly proportional to the teraflops.
Monitor the power consumption of a computer, both at stock and overclocked. There's ever diminishing returns on the power consumed for performance gains.

When is AMD releasing the full fat Fury-X cards guys?
LoadsaMoney was saying performance in-between the 980 and 980 Ti, not better than than the 980 Ti.
Now we know the 390X beats the 980 in a fair few benchys. It's highly likely that the Nano will be in-between the 980 and 980 Ti like LoadsaMoney said.
We are talking 100 watts here. That is a 57% increase in power for a 13% increase in performance
The Fury would be a pointless if those Nano figures are correct

Even if it's somewhere around a 980 or close to a 980ti it's an amazing card on 175 watts. It doesn't have to beat a 980ti to be spectacular.
With an AMD FX CPU, for example, you could be looking at using 70% more power for 20% performance increase (4Ghz - 4.8Ghz).
TBH, it would still be an amazing card if the performance was around 290X level. The form really is spectacular for a high performance card.
If we still based our decisions on common sense Physics would've stopped in the 19th century.
Wed. 1pm
650~ish for the limited stock on wed. 550 for preorder to be fufilled when cards come in.

£649 for day 0 price hike for limited stock - £549 will be the base line price in a few weeks time once supplies wont be so constrained.
all for FuryX with AIO. july or later for air cooled Fury

I find it insane that people would pay an extra £100 just to own something on release day.
I am looking forward to these cards but not sure I could justifying paying way above RRP just to be early.

Not troll comment,Just my thoughts on why I am buying AMD Fury X.
I sold my Titan X cards and I am buying AMD Fury X cards.
For me 4GB no HDMI 2.0 has no bearing on my purchase of the AMD Fury X cards.
Also for me I prefer AMD cards and drivers over Nvidia cards and drivers.No matter how many times Nvidia fans try to derail threads or convince people Nvidia has better stuff,my opinion on AMD will stand.I know the truth I have ran many combinations of SLI/Crossfire .
Anyway,I am very excited to get some AMD Fury X AIO cooling for the price of 980Ti reference for the same performance.It is not even close in my opinion AMD has the better choice for me.

You don't have to either, even on release day. Depends on where you buy and who has stock.
Damn shame we can't buy direct from NVIDIA, or even Saphire for AMD like in the states. You pay the exact RRP then.
Exactly, i have the same point f view, but i don't buy simple Nv, just AMD stuffs if a can, nothing fanboism, just the way i like.
Yeah, exactly. There will be several retailers selling at MSRP.
