Huh, did you order it import or something? Local shops too expensive or not in stock?

Maybe not as bad as WCCF. Regardless though, all these rumors coming from GPU news sites always seem to be riddled with half-truths. Never can take them seriously really.
Yes, I agree.

From Amazon USA to Australia.
Saving ~100 AUD on the transaction and Amazon has pretty great customer support.
Those refunds bought your loyalty

Those refunds bought your loyalty
The Gigabyte one I bought (ref cooler) says "overclocked" on the amazon listing, but it's actually just stock clocks. Someone else who bought the same one got a partial refund because of this false advertising in the listing.
My winning streak may continue, 980ti for ~550 USD

Prices already went up for us, since our dollar was at a historic high about 18 months ago. We were actually above parity with the USD and it was a golden age of importing shit. Now we're at 77 cents to the US dollar, so this shit costs a thousand dollars locally.
I don't blame you guys at all. Delaying past Witcher month is AMD's loss.
I can wait though. Hopefully my country's currency doesn't crash this month, with Moody and gang ready to downgrade us to semi-trash tier.

Does anyone think the Fury will be well in stock compared to something like the 980 Ti, considering how many people supposedly have it?
From past launches, AMD havent been as good as Nvidia when it comes to launch quantities but they can always surprise us.

Will just get worse from here on, so unfortunately this is the best time to get for the near future, before the USD-CAD gets further apart
That last image... "Powered by the language standard used on today's hottest games and consoles unclude XBOX One, Playstation 4 and Nintendo Wii."
Guess AMD is as confused about Wii and Wii U as every other ?
Bullet is an Open Source Physics engine. AFAIK GTA 4 and 5 uses it.

Or XFX are.
Thank you, I've gone ahead and bought that paste (still have a tube of Arctic Silver 5 on me but I wouldn't think that'd be great to use with a gpu).
The box is flawed and yes i guess XFX are confused
The write OpenCL 1.2 but AMD supports OpenCL 2.0 on their newer architectures including the 290x. Guess old data?
Also here's a great guide for applying thermal paste if you're confused

Dat 300W TDP.
Mantle has finished it's evolution.
Trueaudio dead?
Hope someone does a teardown am interested to see how this is getting cooled given it's completed sealed with no passive cooling,
E3 can't come soon enough.
All I know is I still have a copy of The Witcher 3 sitting on my HDD that is barely played because I need a new GPU. Waiting is hard but patience is a good thing, especially when it comes to new and expensive tech.
Regarding the rumors: I can definitely see the Fury X launching before the Pro since the Pro will most likely be binned Fury X's that didn't quite make the grade and the AIB's will be allowed to make their own cooling solutions for the Pro.
This also feels a little bit like a paper launch. There are very few cards out in the wild, the drivers aren't quite ready yet and we're hearing yields are an issue. Even if the "30,000" rumor turns out to be bunk I don't think availability is going to be very good on these things for a little while.
Still, if it is a substantially better card (or cheaper) than the 980Ti then I am willing to wait.

So people claiming it can't do 4K because of the 4GB of Ram but AMD is claiming it can do 6K!?
EDIT: Any chance you could re-up those on a non-abload site? My connection here blocks abload

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Really, really interested to see this thing's performance on 4K with games that typically require high VRAM.
We'll see...
We'll see...
Well, I was waiting on some kind of leaked benchmark or really anything that showed that the Fury was substantially better than the 980ti but the silence was too much. For me the onus was on AMD to convince me to skip the 980ti but they just couldn't.
Yeah, it's all because the node shrink took so long. We've been stuck on 28nm GPU for far too long!
Plus GCN 2.0 (Or whatever the new arch. will be called) is due by then as well - and along with Cannonlake (or Zen) alongside DDR4 will make a great match - Skylake isn't going to be the game changer we were looking for.
Not long to go to see if the Fury X is going to beat the 980Ti.

Weird they are even advertising the Fury X for 6k gaming set-ups. Must be confident one of these GPUs holds up at extreme resolutions.
And this is the damned reason I've been on my Core i5-750 since September 2009, pretty much every new CPU's has been "not the game changer we were looking for". Yes yes, upgrading to even a Haswell now would be a boost for me, but Skylake was supposed to be the thing to wait for, so I waited, and now, it's not, and Cannonlake might be the one to wait for... blah
The last few CPU and GPU generations have really put a wrench in my computer upgrade schedule, which had up to now firmly been on a 3-4 year cycle for a full upgrade, with motherboard/CPU upgrade on year 1, and 2 years later a GPU upgrade, alternating like that, back and forth.

I mean since there are no fans internally, it's safe to assume the waterblock covers the length of the PCB.
Meaning the VRMs, Capacitors, and other components are being cooled by the block as well, not just the die.
Unless AMD is crazy and thinks the VRMs can sit in a closed box and bake, which I don't think they do, that will most likely be the case here.
Really.. this HBM architecture must handle >4GB scenarios more gracefully than everyone has been predicting/worrying about.
Or it's just marketing tactics.
The OG Titan was advertised as a worthy 4K graphics card, too....

If performance takes a dive at 4K on the Fury, it will be clear as day in benchmarks. I can't wait to see! Either way it will be interesting.
I'm more curious if it takes a dive at 6k now.

These rumor sites are really milking it right now. Every day there's a new "leak" that gives barely any new info.
Try the videocardz link and see if you can load those images. If not, I'll try to rehost.

For someone who's had 6GB of VRAM for over 2years I'm very nervous about this. Especially since I'm running 4k now. Next week...
Nobody's going to run it in 6k right now.

Its more that 4k requires higher res textures and art assets , which means more ram needed because they need more space..
Yup the link works thanks

We already have benchmarks on the latest games running at 4K on the same card with 4GB vs 8GB configurations. The only game that could bring the 4GB card to its knees was Mordor running at 200% resolution at 4K (basically 8K). 8GB will probably be overkill for the next couple of years at least. 6GB seems like it would be the sweet spot for price/performance.
Was about to pull the trigger on a 980ti after waiting all this time.
Only reason I haven't is... because skylake is due around late august, and I might just decide to build a new PC all at once rather than upgrade my aging hulk piecemeal.
Gonna be disappointed if the Fury X isn't epic.

AMD has admitted their current memory management is ass so we dont know if those 4GB vs 8GB comparison would still apply.
Besides that Nvidia 2GB != AMD 2GB.

FPS is nice but what about Frame time? That'll show how smooth it is.
We have got our hands on every specification from the 300 series. Unfortunately, nothing yet on the Fury cards. We'll be uploading some images as well in a few minutes.
MSI is launching the following models:
