lot of speculation but we know the Fury owns them all.

Costs and HBM

One persistent rumor we’ve heard about HBM yields and costs, we can thankfully debunk. It’s been bandied about that AMD would face a crippling cost structure in the wake of the GTX 980 Ti’s debut a few weeks ago, due to poor yields or costs for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). In reality, HBM has been on sale for quite some time, as evidenced in this memory databook from Hynix, which was released in Q3 2014. It shows two types of HBM as already available — a 128GB/s, 1.0Gbps component and a 128GB/s, 0.8Gbps component, both already available in the same 4Hi stack that AMD is using for Fiji.

Now, obviously we don’t know what kind of premium Hynix is charging for HBM, but the fact that the memory has been available for nine months now points to strong yields. Rumors we’ve heard from other sources indicate AMD is planning an aggressive launch around this card, with a great deal of stock on-hand. Some aspects of HBM’s design should actually make it cheaper than GDDR5 in the long term. AMD also isn’t likely paying Hynix for DRAM by the wafer, but would instead be buying known-good die, limiting the impact of yield issues if they existed.

They better not keep pushing it back, every day the push it back is a day I have no graphics card lol, Intel HD graphics can't quite drive a 144hz 1440p panel unfortunately XD.

It's been delayed again AMD aren't ready for the 16th, next month I guess.

If the 16th arrives and AMD reveal the cards then not give us pricing and/or not make them available for purchase... then screw AMD, I've been patient and waiting enough. I'd rather just buy an Nvidia card, rather than let my unbuilt PC parts build dust (on the postage boxes). But then again... at the start of the month Gibbo did say they have 300 series cards around, it would be utter BS not to let us buy them next week or at least pre-order. Paper-launch can wipe my arse, full-launch or bust AMD. I also remember the 18th being the day the 300 series would be available to buy and the 24th for Fiji, though weren't they the early estimates of the reveal dates too?

Take a look at how Nvidia did the recent 980ti. We originally thought they were going to be available to buy on the 2nd, but pre-orders were up on the 1st. Yes, stock disappeared instantly so here's how AMD do better. On the 16th, reveal specs/pricing and allow purchases/pre-orders so that consumers would have their hands on them by the end of next week at the latest. Also make sure there's enough stock with retailers. Then laugh at Nvidia for not having any 980tis available as AMD nick potential customers who are tired of waiting for the ti to get back in stock. Or if the Fury is being released separately, at least tell us the price or give us an estimate so folks know whether or not to buy.

Delaying that information won't gain them any more sales, nor would giving out that info early lose them any potential sales. Otherwise, it'd be the other way around. Nvidia will be selling their cards by the boatloads as folks become sick of AMD's 'when it's ready' and the lack of availability of those cards for purchase.

Is that a extra deep radiator at the back?

Another picture that crops the other end of the radiator off.

I'm sure it is just coincidence but worth pointing out all the same.

I thought it was being done to protect the people who currently have them, so they can't be identified? Doesn't look fake to me...but I am not an expert to tell if it is or not.

Fury-X 3D Mark Firestrike scores in case anyone missed them:

I'm hoping that graph isn't true.
Otherwise after all this wait and all this hype AMD have managed to just about match the Nvidia cards. If they've matched them on power usage then that's one thing, but if they draw more power and perform the same...
Remember how the 980s were slated for not giving a great performance boost? And the 390X is outperformed by it? At stock...

Especially if the rumours about the Fury cards coming in at a new high price point for AMD.

Last Gen they had the 'titan killer' (aka 290X) for around £400 I think. So if this gen's 'titan killer' is much more than that then it seems like AMD have gone backwards with their offering.
 
Think this song and the first 2 verses sum up this thread perfectly... :D

Lyrics:
Abandon all hope for those who enter
Cause there ain't too much of that down here
A clouded mist in a darkened tunnel
And twisted screams are growing near

Now you're down here, you're gonna all stay
Cause the howling furies wanna come out and play
You're headed for doom, you'd better prepare
Cause in this part of the woods almost anything's fair, yeah
