Btw, I was wondering if this new memory technology will be integrated in the future APUs. That would be mind blowing.

Yeah. That fury nano is really appealing. It would be nice to have an all in one with the nano.

Next year it's all about Zen then the new APU's come 2017 as 2016's model is supposed to be a carrizo respin AFAIK.

To recap:
R7 360: meh
R7 370: how about no?
R9 380: nice
R9 380X: sorely missed
R9 390: meh
R9 390X: meh
R9 Fury nano: WANT
R9 Fury: great
R9 Fury X: great
Another thing I don't like about the launch is that AMD is pulling tricks like preventing the newer drivers from running on the old cards. This shall presumably prevent reviewers from benchmarking both with the new drivers and proclaiming that there is no performance difference.

R9 Fury: great
R9 Fury X: excellent

Or if you think about Fiji hotfix one, well that is not even a beta driver - more in sense "use this one on Fiji, if you can't wait"Last edited by dungeon; 19 June 2015, 10:53 AM.

Originally posted by dungeon View PostFixed that for you
Lack of HDMI 2.0 doesn't personally affect me, but this is a major showstopper for a lot of gamers if you read gaming oriented forums. Those people already have (or plan to buy) 4K TVs for gaming and it's all NVidia for them now.
4 GB memory is adequate at best.
No VP9 video decode acceleration (at least nowhere mentioned).
Except for the 4 GB memory which would have needed an expensive dual-link interposer to get to 8 GB that is all thanks to AMD's obsession with eliminating feature creep. Because if you cut too many features, you will end up a product which includes a showstopper for too many people.

Originally posted by chithanh View PostIt's even slower than the R9 270X. It doesn't support FreeSync. It taints the whole 3xx line, because you now cannot simply tell someone to just get the card that fits his wallet, you have to tell him to specifically avoid a card if he wants variable refresh.
You have those kind of things in Intel CPUs much more then on AMD CPUs, where often on low/mid level CPU some instructions are missing, but no one advertising missing features at all, etc...
Originally posted by chithanh View PostYes. I want 4K HEVC and VP9 video decode.
Dunno what is issue about, you seems to want similar things like Kano - exactly what those don't have I guess you know those can't be added on a finished chips, so yelding about those does not help anymore...
Only it can be added to the wishlist, for some future chips
Someone might wish Titan X, GTX 980 an GTX 970 to have full HEVC like AMD Carrizo have it.. but to no avail, that can't happen
Originally posted by chithanh View PostNo, I am talking about drivers that work on the 390X but not on the 290X.
