My plan was actually to look for a smaller 4K TV that could refresh at at least 60Hz (TV mfrs are playing fast and loose with that spec) and use it on my large and deep desk/workbench. I don't play fast paced games, so it might have worked out. But I also wanted a new GPU, preferably from AMD. That's why I am concerned.

I still hope no the HDMI 2.0 thing is a case of PR being mis-informed or something. We'll find out soon...

It just makes no sense, an HDMI 2.0 port can't add much cost. I mean there are bargain-bin sub-$600 4K TVs that have an HDMI 2.0 port nowadays.

It has HDMI 2.0.


Where are we getting the story that Fury X does not?

The poor Nano crowd doesn't even know this yet. They're so excited, dreaming of the HTPC rigs they're going to make in that thread, and they have no clue that the 4k TV they're targeting won't work with that particular card.

It's mindboggling, but again, I would terminate the individual or individuals that allowed this to happen if I were Su, if she even understands the error herself. Probably not a gamer herself, which is no crime, but I'd get to the bottom of it and eliminate the people who were entrusted to make that decision.

Yeah, they screwed up. Do you want to know how to solve this issue? It's pretty simple. Include a DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter with the card. What is there to complain about now?

God I wish, unfortunately it's not possible.

Others in the thread have said there's a $100 converter being worked on in Asia, with a release date towards the end of the year.

Too much trouble and cost when a competitor already has a product that works out of the box.

I still hope no the HDMI 2.0 thing is a case of PR being mis-informed or something. We'll find out soon...

Me too, but it doesn't seem likely. That AMDMatt guy who started the whole issue seemed pretty definitive.

http://www.legitreviews.com/amd-fiji-arrives-radeon-r9-fury-x-details_166515

"Does the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X have HDMI 2.0 support? The rumors going around the internet are true and the Fiji GPU does not support HDMI 2.0 and it is running HDMI 1.4a. This is rather unfortunate as it is disappointing for us too as it limits 4K Ultra HD output to 30Hz. We expressed our concerns to AMD and thought that the AMD Radeon R9 Nano in particular would make a great living room gaming PC and having HDMI 2.0 would have been really nice for a 6-inch long card."

In addition, an AMD marketing rep confirmed on the OCUK forums that HDMI 2.0 is not supported. He later deleted all his posts, and the mods killed the thread, but it was there earlier this morning.

Creating a DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 adapter is not a trivial problem. This has been requested for a long time, and no one has figured it out yet, despite several attempts. Even if such a product does eventually exist, it is likely to be substantially less reliable than native HDMI 2.0 support. It won't be included with the Fury cards, and will probably cost well over $100. And it is quite possible that an adapter like this would introduce lag to the signal.

If that's the case, AMD screwed up big time. Not being able to run 60hz on a 4k tv is a big no, no.

AMDMatt posted that it did not have HDMI 2.0 and AMD recommends using DP 1.2a for 4K60Hz over on the OCUK forums. The post seems to have been deleted in a "cleaning", or moved somewhere where the public can't see it.

However, now he says he is looking into it on the AMD forums, so who knows...

What 2015 4k tv do you have?


I doubt its anything like what you describe. You seem to be overreacting, intentionally. Luckily enough there is a nvidia subforum for you to grace.








Well not really. Here is a list of 4k capable tvs. 92 in total, the number which also includes HDMI 2.0 is 11, and of those 11 two support DP1.2.

So the claim that not including HDMI 2.0 is the greatest mistake in the history of mankind is a storm in a tea cup.



I am really interested to know what 4k TV you have mako.




The vitriol coming from you is very telling. I personally dont understand why you even care.

That list of 4k TVs is inaccurate. I have a 2015 Samsung 4k UN48JU6700FXZA. It supports HDMI 2.0, full 60Hz 4:4:4 input. Curved screen. Nice set, I use it as my PC display. That's why I need a card with HDMI 2.0 support. I really could care less if the card has HDCP 2.2 support because I just want to game on it at 60Hz.

Same, but mine is the 48JU7500. The word "epic" does not do these displays justice, amazing all the way around.

Man, cross your fingers...maybe Matt stupidly opened his mouth without knowing wtf he was talking about.

Again, you are missing the point entirely.

I don't give a shit about watching 4k Blu-ray Discs, a year from now, on any Ati or Nvidia card.

This is about the thousands of us that have 2015 4k televisions that CAN do 4:4:4 @ 60Hz at 4k....via a nice perfect little HDMI 2.0 port, and game at that rez, today.

It has nothing, at all, to do with HDCP 2.2.

The Fury X doesn't support any 4k television currently on the market at a Hz level above 30Hz. And that is a massive massive failure.

Stop justifying, stop rationalizing, stop fanboying. This is a fuck up. Period.

And this is coming from multiple people in this thread who were EXCITED to buy this card, myself included. It's a colossal error, a bitter disappointment, and there is no excuse. I would personally FIRE the group of individuals that made that decision if I were Su.

Pack your desks into a box and get out. Because you're too damn stupid to work here.

That being said, the 980 Ti is a great card that when overclocked delivers all of the performance of the Fury X, if not more. It just blows that the AIO version of the card is $100 higher. Which sucks for us, the consumers.

I feel bad for AMD, for the smart people there that had nothing to do with this mistake. One step forward, two steps back, always.
If pure FPS is what you want at a higher resolution, nothing from Nvidia does better than Fury at 4k res. So who's being a fanboy really? For what it is worth, i have a UHD TV and for some time now, and i would have loved for proper support to be there. It isn't. Nor is it on Nvidia, well fully as i would like for my TV. If you don't care for UHD playback, all you need is an adapter which should be here soonish. Higher FPS is higher FPS. As of last year, there were manufacturers working on making adapters which would do 4k-60hz.

relax man , no one even knows this yet, don't get in trouble.

The mans upset he just sold his Phillips display port monitor to a relative and was very enthused about Fury.

Now lets get back on topic boys.

HDMI vs DP Comparison:

HDMI 2.0 -- 4K/60 8-bit 4:4:4
DP 1.2a -- 4K/60 30-bit 4:4:4 with Adaptive-Sync Support (optional)
DP 1.3 -- 4K/120 24-bit 4:4:4 and 30-bit 4:4:4 for 4K/96

Myself, and several others now, have tried to explain this to you. You simply don't understand the tech, as you don't own a 2015 4k display that's capable of 4:4:4 @ 60Hz.

The Fury X is only capable of running at 30Hz on 90-95% of the 4k televisions on the market, due to said televisions not offering a display port. Not now, and not in the future.

They only way to get a 2160p image at 60Hz with 4:4:4 sub chroma is to drive it through HDMI 2.0, for those specific televisions (again, 90-95%).

AMD missing this fact or whatever the reasons were that drove the decision, has fallen into a major error, one that precludes those of us who are in the market for a next-gen card or two from every buying the Fury X. It also affects the "living room" Nano, as it apparently also does not support HDMI 2.0.

I can't make it any more simple that that, I hope you understand now why so many in the thread are upset.

Psst., HDMI 2.0 varies... 8 bit, 10 bit and even 12-bit. That lot at UHD consortium all deserve a farking flogging. They were originally supposed to launch discs/ products at end of 2014, but now they will only do so by end of this year. They've caused much grief all around for manufacturers and consumers as well...

Not at all, the Philips was inferior to the Samsung for my needs. Made that choice happily and would recommend everyone else evaluate them both to see which works best for them.

This is about AMD not offering something that hundreds of thousands of people need from any next-gen card they choose to purchase, and something that comes standard on all Nvidia cards from the lowly 960 on up.

980 Ti is just fine, but the pisser is it's not as good a value as the Fury X in my opinion. Free AIO hybrid cooling basically.

Either card is great though, there's no bad choice here. But it would have been nice if it actually was a choice...which it's not for anyone using a 4k uhd television...the Nano and Fury X will not be able to drive an image beyond 30Hz on those sets, unless they have a display port, which no current popular brands do.

Those of us in that boat just need to be thankful the Titan X and 980 Ti exist, otherwise there would be no true option at all.

It might well not. Google only returns many sites claiming it doesnt, but nothing official yet.

Still, what 4k Tv do you have?

You mean nvgpu? Seems like a reliable source...

There are some pretty smart people on this forum, and for no one to say," hey stop!"" they can just add it to the pcb on the next batch of cards in Sept. don't worry" , by now......

well you know that sucks.
