AMD Polaris architecture – GCN 4.0
- Thread starter Boomstick777
- Start date
Exactly. It is very odd. No surprises that DM rushes to AMD's rescue at any opportunity though.
Sorry DM , the slide is perfectly clear and practically perfect in every way

Fury x and fury stocks are really low could be a sign Polaris will replace them at that price point?
fury x £499
fury £399
would be my guess. early price bump for a new process tech and the cost for gddr5x which should settle by September. will it beat a 1080? I think it will in dx12. 1080 will still be fastest in dx11 1080p.
tbh if Amd decide to go with a 8+6pin for their reference card then it could handily beat the 1080 fe.
come on Amd you can do it,
you got a 2nm advantage!

Well if the leaked benches AND SPECS are to be believed it is no where near 1080 performance. All the info so far puts it between 390x and Fury Pro performance.
I don't want to cause an argument, but if you use the links that DM has kindly provided for us and either click on the first one, then click on the 'Shop Radeon™ VR Ready Premium products' and then sort by price low to high.
They list get a R9 290 for $224.99
Or use the second link and sort by price low to high, they list a 390 for $279.99
What does this mean for that original slide stating $329.99, I have no idea, but it certainly means they are not listing the CURRENT CARD prices as DM put it.
I'm a bit surprised DM got that wrong really, as sorting by price low to high is common sense.
"AMD aren't exactly known for selling their top card on the cheap"
AMD's all top cards recently have been £1000+. Would you call that the cheaper option?

Only they most recent DUAL GPU cards.
where as Nvidia have been selling their TOP SINGLE GPU's for more than AMD sells they top dual card.
So it terms of who is expensive, nvidia have that crown.
In regards to Single GPU's From AMD, they are priced well imo.
Value for those that buy those cards for sure.
recent duo was made for VR development.
For me Polaris looks to be one awesome generation card.
Ok taking this
And then this
It gives us a possible over view of things.
R9 480 4GB From $329 (it should be classed as VR capable)
R9 480x 4GB from $329+ a bit
R9 480x 8GB from $329+ a bit and a bit more for the extra memory.
R9 490 8GB under $650
R9 490x 8GB from $650
The 490's would seem to be around the right ball park price wise, whereas I would say that the 480's seem to be starting a bit high.
Of course these two leaks might not be accurate at all, but seeing as one of them is from an official AMD presentation it doesn't bode too well for that one at a least.
I can't see them selling 4GB 480's for more than the price of current 8GB 390's.
Those are the 380X replacements and will be sub $250.
R9 480 4GB From $220
R9 480x 4GB from $$250
R9 480x 8GB from $$280
R9 490 8GB under $350
R9 490x 8GB from $380

I really hope if Polaris 10 is priced that highly it has performance to match especially seeing the R9 Nano hitting R9 390 level pricing on some clearance offers.
I do agree, it does seem a bit daft.

The 390 released at $329.99. The slide is probably referring to that price. Fury X launched at $650 as well.
So yea the slide is talking about old VR Ready cards with the $329-$650.

Fingers crossed and all that.
IMHO their commercial priority is to provide GPU chips for the Macbook Pro, Playstation upgrades so it would not surprise me if these specs leak first.
I am hoping the discrete GPU's for computex are a direct Fury X replacement and give us some nice toys to play with.

The rest of the scores are rubbish unless they are overclocked results. A gtx1080 at stock scores around 22k graphics score. The rest of the cards need good overclocks as well. The Titan X graphics score would be the top of our firestrike leader board with clocks of over 1550 on the core needed.
