Yeah it seems like a strange card, the performance, efficiency and size seem so good, wonder if we will hear more of it at the pc gamer show :O Maybe they'll reduce the price of the 390X? 100$ difference between that and the non X version. 

 

When's the 300 series coming out, this month or next month? It's possible the plan is to put the 300 series out, and get a few months out of them and the top-tier Fury cards, then launch the Nano in Q3, once the fabs are better at HBM and Fiji, allowing lower prices, and cannibalize the higher-end 300 series sales with it. Then the 300 series could see a price drop over all, and Fury could too depending on manufacturing. If that happens, it would make at least the higher end 300 series sort of a half-generation stepping stone to a Fiji generation. Considering the change in technologies, that may be the case but we won't know for a while yet.

No idea tbh, that info was leaked and I didn't read much, AMD will be presenting at the pc gamer show thing later so I guess we'll find out more then. Some of the comments said they're trying to get more users to buy the Fury parts(that or clear out more 200 series before price reduction), maybe build up the name and stuff before launching the Nano? Will be interesting to see the pc gamer stream :)

 

*edit removed potato rip*

 

AMD did have a presentation today already, it's on their twitch channel so you can watch it if you want :) Was confused for a while

The Fury X arrives June 24 for $649 and the Fury July 14 for $549, while the R9/R7 300 cards should be out this Thursday. The Nano and dual-GPU Fury are still TBD, both in price, specs, and launch date. The R9 390X comes in at $429, the R9 390 at $329, the R9 380 at $199, the R7 370 at $149, and the R7 360 at a mere $109.

AMD, LMAO.  Do people really buy these cards? HAHA Seriously though, is there any advantage to buying an AMD card other than price?  Everyone always complaining about the drivers etc..

Not everyone complains about the drivers. I personally never had any issue with AMD drivers, but have had some with NVIDIA drivers (it would take awhile, but I might be able to find the thread about it). AMD cards have also had advantages when it comes to OpenCL (remember the Bitcoin mining episode when the R9 200 series launched?) and multi-display setups with Eyefinity. Now with the Fiji cards we're getting HBM first, which is going to be an advantage for those interested in having the leading edge of technology, and the technology that will very possibly become a standard for future components, including GPUs (though granted this is HBM1 and not HBM2).
