They look like Gentle Typhoons the 1850 RPM versions are one the quietest fans you can buy or should I say used to be able to buy..

There so quite I have to look to make sure there still spinning.

Don't be surprised if these fans on super quite.

The all black fan had that ring near the edge of the blades, which I think they put on the 3000rpm and above versions didn't they?

People saying about not knowing how HBM will perform regarding 4K...
If capacity no longer matters with HBM then why didn't they just put 1GB on and save money? Why go with 4GB and plan 8GB?

I'm also curious where the data is going to be read from so quickly that GDDR5 was a bottleneck but that HBM isn't? Surely if you need to load textures and stuff into VRAM it has to be read in FROM somewhere?

No whispers of a dual gpu fury card yet hmm. Guess it would be £1500 again anyway.

Also why the heck can't anyone release a mega overclocked titan X with a custom cooler on it? You get a few 1500mhz samples out for £1300 and you basically match 295x2 with single gpu which would certainly warrant the premium for 4k gamers.

lol - two things. One, you wouldn't get anywhere near the quantity to reliably release a GM200 card with that sort of core clock. Secondly NVIDIA doesn't allow for AIB partners to cut and paste TITAN onto anything else.

Is this new news regarding the 4096 bit memory bus?

I suspect (and hope) that AMD have something up their sleeve here with HBM... no one knows anything yet, but I have to believe that they know what they're doing and this card will be an equal or better peformer than the 980Ti/Titan. As you say, they are releasing a 4GB card with the Fury X when they themselves have had 8GB cards available for some time now (and will be pushing them even harder with the 390X), and Nvidia of course have the 6GB and 12GB cards. If they knew the 4GB HBM card was inferior, well... that would be insanity. It simply HAS to better, logic demands it. Where would be the sense in AMD releasing a card that cannot match the performance of Nvidia's flagship, and the 8GB of their own lesser and cheaper cards wins out? Makes no sense to me this could or would happen, so if HBM doesn't blow us away with its capability, I'll be VERY VERY surprised...

EVGA don't make AMD cards. I forgot about declaring at the airport (Like anyone does).

I go every year and bring back new CPU each time as it is a lot cheaper over there. With the Fury being new tech, I wouldn't want to have to send it back for any recall reasons etc.

Smuggling PC components... teeheehee. I think you gotta pay the VAT and/or a fine if you get caught right? I'm sure all electronics imports from outside of the EU are taxable, that includes stuff you buy yourself abroad.

...Unless you take a small form factor PC with you and put the graphics card in on the way back and then claim it was there all along. Maybe stuff it with bubblewrap inside to help keep the graphics card alive. In fact, how would they know if you didn't take the hardware with you in the first place? You could just claim you took it over to have a friend benchmark it.

Oh if they want they'll make you prove that you had it before. With HMRC the rule is simple, guilty until proven innocent.

That said, its rare I've even seen anyone at customs on the flight back, let alone anyone declaring the crap they've put in their cases that they probably should be declaring.
 
I flew from Hong Kong to China with suit cases full of components a few years ago for work. Was a bit nervous as you are never sure if the Chinese are going to mental or not haha.

Stuff was crazy cheap in Hong Kong compared to Shanghai so the company I worked for at the time had me buy hardware in Hong Kong to replace parts in China

Once Fury is out its the card to own.
AMD planned for the future.

I am worthy of the Fury

Doesn't matter though does it, as the non 'x' is supposedly the exact same card, just 40MHz slower, can easily get that back with AB.

But that will not be the case will it as that would be Barmy. AMD are not going release two cards at different price points with the only difference being 40mhz on the core. It just is not going to happen.
