The have been pictures shown that are confirmed to be the die, clearly showing 4x1GB HBM1 chips, that ofc does not mean the will be no 8GB model, just that the will definitely be a 4GB model.

Yeah 4 memory stacks. Unless some magic happened and they are greater than 1gb while still hbm1 then I will be surprised.
 
http://wccftech.com/amd-officially-shows-fiji-gpu-computex-2015-4-gb-hbm-confirmed-radeon-fury-launches-16th-june/

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..


Your whole reasoning is pointless, as they already told us 8Gb cards coming in august....
 
He said "Fact", so must be true.

Also I got a 2 week suspension for typing **** at someone (I actually pressed the star key 4 times and didn't type any swear words at all)

the quoting you just did kind of looked like it lol
wotever not trying to argue or anything you use to take things a lot lighter tho!?
thats good if you not :)

I even tried to give him a heads up to change it before a mod see it.

Anyways back on topic, I have watched that video again from Matt and Lisa and he does claim it to be the "fastest small form factor graphics card in the world" My initial impression was "WOW, they are confident to come out with that....Woot" but when you look a bit deeper, it is going up against the GTX 970 mini (not sure of any other small form factor cards with that power (980 perhaps?)) So that kinds deflates me a little.

i duno the 970 strix too its not like that is a big card, guess theres a few
but yeh i agree its not saying much special is it :)
 

rumoured leaks with no date with currency conversions applied to them make a murky picture at best.

We also don't yet know what 'enhanced' means - being the same base architecture doesn't mean exactly the same, so even were it more expensive that could be perhaps worth it. We shall see soon enough I guess, would be a shame if it turned out the way it's spun by some but meh, I'm not looking for a new card anyway :p
 
Glad i got my 390X nigh on 2yrs ago, supposed to go down in price over time, not ******* up! :D

Mind you, be good for anyone wanting to get shot of em now, as they'll be able to get more for em :p
 
releasing the 390pro as 8gb is a weird one, could be good value
hard to compete with the low priced 290x's we've had tho :)
