AMD Polaris architecture – GCN 4.0

£250 to £300 for a <Fury-X / 980TI performance level card will do me nicely.

And i tend to agree with Roy, i can't see Nvidia selling 980TI level cards for sub £300, the 980 is £400, £400 is where I see a 980TI level Pascal, i could be wrong tho....

The Titan still cost over $700 before Maxwell debuted, but it didn't stop Nvidia from putting out a card that matched it for $320.
 
If we follow that logic, AMD will be charging £350/400 for Polaris 10 then seeing as it has been said that it can match a FuryX. Bear in mind that this is the 380 replacement, a £160 part, if the leaks/rumours are true.

Or are you saying that only NVidia would do that. :rolleyes:
 
Got a feeling these will be well priced, come out fighting with cards aimed at gaining a decent chunk off market share (AMD really need to push for market share) in the mid tier, then the higher end more expensive stuff coming next year. It def makes sense for AMD to do this imho.

Expecting Nvidia GTX 1070 to also be a good bang for buck card, while using less power than current stuff, either that or the AMD 4XX will be my next card, whichever gives better bang for buck @ ~£250/£300
 
Considering AMD have said they will be aimed at the mainstream and be VR ready, then they have to at least compete with the 970. Performance wise at or at least near 980 would be great at a competitive price to the 970. 980Ti and still priced well, will be killer for AMD.

I wish I was.
You know how many prejudice and ignorant people you meet on this planet its absolutly horrifying.

Polaris target the VR enabled space, so the question is this, what card does that and do AMD have another card along that as a 290/290X?
Let say Polaris do meet the 490 VR and then you have a 490x that goes agaisnt 980ti/FuryX
In that scenario you just have a 490 set at a 200$ price point killing the 970 and establish a whole new price/performance king brightly shining smell of a fresh card. Then a 490x goes up around the 980ti/FuryX level at a 350$ price point.
 
The people thinking these will be bargain basement priced right out the gate are dreaming. After all the eons of neverending hype e-tailers will be gouging them to hell and back at least, even if AMD themselves don't set the RRP out of reality.
 
well if a 390 and a 970 are considered good enough for VR if AMD are bringing the prices of "good enough" for VR then $200 seems about right to me.
 
for the new card I am going for £425inc with 8GB and faster than 980ti reference card.

overclocking will be ridiculous and will make it the fastest single-card until Nvidia's new Titan launches.
 
i think potentialy the best selling VR ready systems next year could be laptops on backpacks, Zen+polaris with low TDP, and fair battery autonomy, and i am sure that ppl with VR headset even if they have 980Ti on desktop, they would pick a laptop just to get rid of those cables entangled around their legs, or take it outside to your garden and set your 5x5meters roomscale :D
there is something here for mobile polaris10 to bundle with VR headsets, if every demo at shows, streams,youtube, start using them, they could start a trend with it, and probably would have better argument to sell the bundle than a desktop one, if adequatly priced.
die shrink, new products, more powerfull, more efficient, cheaper, things seem to line up nicely, just need those stupid headsets to drop a bit their prices for it to be worth pushing

If they target as Roy stated, they offers superb speed at a price point to sell a ton of cards to users so they can upgrade for VR.
Forget previous generations of releases as the market today is about VR and the console gaming dx12.
