Yet Mantle is on for Sniper Elite 3, so it must be working on Fury cards...
Weird.
Is anyone else a little disappointed with 6 power phases? That's what the reference Hawaii cards had too and they got squirrely upping the voltage too much (in my experience). Not all power circuitry is created equal so maybe AMD used beefier components in Fury's 6-phase design.
the lack of hdmi 2.0 and lack of dvi have dampened my enthusiasm for Fury X and im sure other Korean IPS owners feel the same......good luck to us finding an active adapter that supports 1440p @ 120hz and even if we do it will be +$100 premium
EDIT - RS - the cable you linked above says limited to 4k 30hz in the description
1. The first part of your statement isn't a problem for gaming. There are plenty of DP to DVI adapters. I am not sure why you are worried.
This is silly question don't you think when you consider the price points.So Fury X is not being positioned against Titan X?
Not at all, it is clear from the new naming convention that the target for Fiji is Titan X. At least they should be including Titan X in the performance comparisons along with the 980ti, so then we have both flagships and cards competing on price represented. I think the symbolism of that would have significance.This is silly question don't you think when you consider the price points.
Confirmed to be only HDMI 1.4a.
I am not sure about going that far.
Allows PCs with ‘Dual-Mode’ DisplayPort (DP++) outputs to connect to displays with HDMI inputs. HDMI 2.0 (active circuit at HDMI connector).
I think we should see 3rd parties start offering DP to HDMI 2.0 (60Hz) connectors sooner or later. If you must buy now, then just get a 980TI
Actually Fury might have HDMI 2.0; AMDMatt on another sub said he needs to double check what he said. Honestly way AMD starting to fire on all cyllinders I wouldn't be surprised if he made a mistake and it does have HDMI 2.0
That adapter (and every other adapter I have seen so far) can not pass 4K60. They're all 4K30. If I have to buy a $30-100 adapter to get 4K60 over HDMI 2.0, then I'll actually save money buying a 980Ti. I already owned a 970, so I know Maxwell can do it, but I really want this Fury X (review pending, of course)!
I hope that's true. I'm thinking the same way you are - how could they come out with this incredible card and go as far as to claim how useable it is for the living room - and completely blow it on the connector? That would be a tremendous oversight. It's already slightly embarrassing that they didn't upgrade the rest of the 300-series for 2.0, but the flagship?
Fair point. I think if Fury X has 8GB of memory they would have been more inclined to target Titan X. I could be wrong, but either way Fury is limited to 4GB currently it is what it is. Being first with new technology usually has some compromise.Not at all, it is clear from the new naming convention that the target for Fiji is Titan X.

notice my post said 1440p @ 120hz Thats why I am worried. I don't think im the only Korean owner who overclocks the panel......

The highest I know is around 400 MHz with this adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00856W...ortests-20
The problem is full-speed DisplayPort 1.2 is not common, and DisplayPort 1.1 actually has less bandwidth than unrestricted dual-link DVI. DisplayPort 1.1 only allows up to 360 MHz with 8-bit color and 480 MHz with 6-bit color. The driver will switch to 6-bit color beyond 360 MHz, but this isn't a major problem because AMD cards implement dithering. The driver might not allow beyond 360 MHz if the video card can't output 6-bit color. I know the 7000-series cards can output 6-bit color, but I don't know about the R9 290-series cards.
jaylumx - I can only get 8 bpc to show when the refresh rate is 60hz. My 84 hz reduced timings only shows 6 bpc though which is surprising since its pixel clock is less than 330mhz.
At this point, depend on how the review of Fury X goes, hopefully the AIB is allowed to add a dual linked DVI port to the Watercooled Fury X model. It's supposed to be a day 1 purchase, AMD.

I am.
84% of all 4k gamers currently use 4k televisions via HDMI (none have DP ports unfortunately) according to NPD. No HDMI 2.0 is a deal-breaker for myself due to this reason, now have to eliminate the 2x Fury X cards I was going to buy and flip over to 980 Ti. Which sucks, because the Fury X is slightly faster and cheaper for the AIO version (versus EVGA's 980 Ti with AIO).
Goddamnit AMD...sigh.
Not just HDMI 2, but it must also be compliant with HDCP 2.2, or no playback of UHD discs. Those turds at UHD only finalised standards last month or so. One of the chaps at AVS was suggesting that Nvidia's cards are also not HDCP 2.2 compliant. So all of us without new cards will end up buying again sometime in 2016. Sucks, but i guess that's just it really.Confirmed to be only HDMI 1.4a.
"It turns out that AMD's new "Fiji" silicon lacks HDMI 2.0 support, after all. Commenting on OCUK Forums, an AMD representative confirmed that the chip lacks support for the connector standard, implying that it's limited to HDMI 1.4a."

Someone will need to test it out if it works at 60Hz.

Huh, maybe this is not the year of 4K for me after all. Very informative, gents, thanks.
In fact this is the first AMD chip with more transistors than Nvidia's big die flagship.
Titan-X - 8 billion transistors.
Fury X - 8.9 billion transistors.

So we are seeing the difference in densities between the two 28nm processes being used ? Glofo vs TSMC. I'm not surprised they have the water cooler then because it will be giving off lots of heat.
