As for me, I think the case is more interesting than the card. Bring on the next gen.
If you were being sarcastic, sorry, my detector is busted. But if not, then allfolks need do is look at single furyx o/c prowess. I dont think it was starved for power.3X8pins = total 525W. Could this be an O/C'ers dream?
Am I supposed to be excited about a card that's almost a year late? With Polaris months away?
Waiting for deflation. It will go down once the nVIDIA HBM2 flaghip comes at only 500 dollars
How much horsepower did that add? 30? 40? Surely not 50?!!
You mean 1000 dollars. Titans are 1k GPUs.
@Dribble
I had a pair of 290s, and I'm sure CF 290/X works fine these days, so we don't have to worry about AMD dropping support for these cards. If you worry about obsoletion, you should be more worried about Maxwell, as you can see what has happened to Kepler. Basically Maxwell has about 6 more months of optimizations. :/
There will not be a Fury X/GTX980Ti replacement until late 2016 at best.
Dual Fiji will be the fastest single card for the remainder of 2016 and even early 2017.

I don't think you understood my post.

I can't tell if that was supposed to be sarcasm or just one of dark zero's off the wall posts. I'd say the chances of nVidia releasing a flagship HBM2 GPU at $500 are only slightly worse than JHH getting sainthood along with Mother Theresa this fall.
I have to say, the Pro Duo name makes me smile on the inside. I loved the TG16 and TurboDuo. I hope they refresh with a Turbo Pro Duo model with 1100/600MHz clocks soon.

So you are going to spend $1.5k on a card for 1080p?
The fury is not a well balanced card - they famously stutter until AMD produce specific fury fixes I'm guessing to make the dynamic caching smarter. Now we have 2 fury's, still 4GB of ram and the same main memory bandwidth. No way even with the smartest drivers they aren't going to run into serious limitations. Then there's the fact you are reliant on AMD to keep patching drivers for what is going to be a super rare card - do you trust them to do that?
Really I'd be surprised if they sell any?
290/390 != fury
The stuttering that we've seen in some recent games tends to not happen with 290's.
Basically the 290 is a better balanced card, and in single card configuration has very reliable performance. I would say in xfire (or SLi) is significantly less reliable and I would avoid if I could get a single faster card, however if you want xfire then 2*390's with their 8GB buffer are about perfect for a balance of memory size/bandwidth/rops/compute.
It's not just the card balance but how common it is - as a rule the more common your card the better testing it will get as it's more likely devs will have them and test with them. I bet many game devs don't own a single fury, let alone testing 2 in xfire. Buying something that's going to be so rare it'll be a collectors item in a few years is hence a bad idea if you want to game reliably with it.
Can't believe they are going with $1500. I'm sure it'll be at $700 soon enough like the 295X2.
If this goes <$1000 in the next 60 days, I will buy one.
