AMD’s Radeon Fury GPU reported to arrive in 3 flavours

AMD is rumoured to demonstrate their highly anticipated Radeon Fuy GPUs on June 16th, where perhaps we’ll finally get a chance to see how AMD’s much exalted HBM architecture… erhm… stacks up (get it).

We’re particularly interested to see if the colossal bandwidth granted by HBM will make up for the decidedly limited 4GB of VRAM, and how it functions in a 4K environment.

Irrespective of the performance, HWBattle.com is reporting three variations of AMD’s Radeon Fury to be demonstrated: the Radeon Fury X, Radeon Fury and Radeon Fury Nano.

According to these same rumours, keep in mind that these are rumours at best, the Radeon Fury Nano is the smaller water cooled Fiji GPU we’ve seen roaming around cyberspace.

We have no idea how it compares in specs to the Radeon Fury X or Radeon Fury and their respective Fiji XT and Fiji Pro GPUs, but we can’t wait to find out.

* Estimated figures.

Those same rumours also suggest that AMD’s flagship single card, the Radeon Fury X, will be competing directly with the GTX 980 Ti, rather than the GTX Titan X.

It seems that the performance of the GTX 980 Ti has rattled AMD’s cage a little, and they’re busy honing the Fury X to better compete.

If its launch price is what sources suggest, expect it to release at around $899, so expect it to be closer in price to the GTX Titan X locally.

For now, it’s all speculation and rumours. Given the impending launch, it’s probably better to just wait and see. But it is interesting to think about the potential of the Radeon Fury Nano, should it turn out to be the 19cm water cooled GPU AMD keeps teasing.

At that size, if its performance matches the other Radeon Fury cards, AMD may very well gain an edge in a market increasingly concerned with size and a minimal form factor.

Don’t forget that along with Fiji, AMD are rebranding their last generation of cards and using those re-brands to fill out the rest of the Rx 300 family: like the Radeon R9 390X, Radeon R9 390, Radeon R9 390, R9 380, R7 370 and R7 360.
