With games like Dying Light, GTA V and SoM more VRam is deffo better at 4k IMO.

SOM did have the 6gb texture pack. I was able to run that on my 780ti with 3gb of vram at playable due to gsync.

So that was 1 game that might show an fps gain but i never saw some compare identical cards with 4gb and 8gb of vram.

E.g is a 290x 8gb same clocks any faster than a 290x 4gb same clocks. I doubt youd see more than 2fps difference if that but thats just my opinion and as i said id love to be proven wrong as i am genuinely insterested. I do think memory amount is a wide misconception.

I think you are missing the point people are trying to make (which is a very valid one). If this is a Titan X beating, behemoth of a card that people will be buying for 1440p and 4k gaming, 4GB is a pretty stingy amount of vram to have on the standard reference card.

No i did not miss the point, that's what the 8GB version is for.
Users had to wait long enough for a 12 and 6GB Maxwell they can damn well wait for a 8GB Fury.

AMD 4gb hbm with advanced compression tech will be the equivalent of 6-8gb ddr5.

My understanding is the compression tech found in the likes of maxwell/tonga only compress when GPU is processing it, and so helps reduce the bandwith usage rather than how much Vram is being used.

Someone else might know abit more than me?

It is the shades that do it for me :D

Anyways guys, I am not fussed and all good, so back on to this Fuji Fury X :D

Lol :D, with Fiji despite wishing for more info and I still think a paper launch might have been a good idea in the face of the 980 Ti launch.

That aside, quite looking forward to the AMD E3 PC event. First of it's kind and new GPU's to be announced there. In the longer scheme of things its all good.

Can AMD dethrone Nvidia though? Is 4GB HBM enough? Not long to find out !

I think that's actually a conservative estimate as we can definitely assume there will at least be the performance per shader of the r9 285 and possibly even better than that which would leave you maybe 1.6-1.7x r9 290x performance, which would destroy a Titan not to mention any HBM benefits, the question is pretty well how good are the drivers.

One thing that did puzzle me was the 970 used more VRAM than the Titan X in some games (where memory wasn't being cached).

"Around the designated with the codename Fiji GPU are four stacks of video memory, along to this combination are the fastest graphics card in the world - said AMD vice president Matt Skinner a few minutes earlier."

"The two 8-pin connectors allow together with the PCIe slot theoretically a power consumption of up to 375 watts, but AMD's Graphics CEO Joe Macri said Golem.de that Fiji graphics card should not require more energy than the Radeon R9 290X. Thus, should the upcoming models remain at under 300 watts - possibly even significantly."

AMD clearly believe this is faster than the Titan X, unless they are pretending it doesn't exist. Titan X owners prepare to be dethroned (Means me as well :p).

From the same original german article translation here.


Supplement dated 3 June 2015 9:12 clock

We have the headline and intro adjusted because AMD's Matt Skinner was not talking about the fastest graphics card, but the world's liveliest Chip: "HBM Enables us to build the fastest GPU in the world", the Vice President said literally on the AMD press conference. ■

Make of that what you will. ;)
