at 4GB and ~980ti performance, it may be really good value premium <4K @60fpsxmany years lifetime gpu.
reason: Fury can not compete with 980ti
6GB in terms of perceived value and longevity so would have to be significantly cheaper.....doubly so if its hot and noisy in comparison.
Im betting that AMD will have invested very heavily in memory optimisation and compression technologies to justify the early jump to 4GB HBM in the face of larger GDDR5...so my guess is on some PR around this during release to try and persuade the punters that 4GB with super dooper compression technologies is enough...
AMD have to ensure that its convincingly keeping up/surpassing 980ti otherwise, the 980ti speed coupled with no need to water cool, +2GB Vram will push fury so far into 2nd place, its value will be decimated... i guess this is why AMD was said to be reworking temps/speeds..as there is too much at stake...
Decimation of price and a really good value premium low resolution card would be sweet for me as a 1080p gamer, as long as volumes are no louder. Especially if the performance bump is convincing enough over console gpu performance to give confidence in its longevity despite 16nm next year..
