This week AMD announced nine new graphics cards during E3 2015. At the top of the product stack you have the four entirely brand new cards that are using the Fiji GPU for the very first time. The performance of any card running Fiji is still under NDA until the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X is released on June 24th, but today the embargo lifts on the general features and the architecture of the GPU itself.

I will be interested to see the numbers as the pricing seems too high to make a mark. AMD just thinks it can command a high price tag but seems to always fall short compared to comparable Nvidia cards. I used to love ATI and AMD but they have dropped the ball on low cost and high performance for a while now.

Here are the rumored AMD numbers... I can't validate as I've never seen the source of this image being from AMD ever.

Very interesting! I trust your numbers though, so I will wait till you review it ;)

Would be nice if AMD got their **** together and started giving Nvidia and Intel a run for their money. Just wish they could do it a lot more economically than it seems they are willing to do.

MSRP is $649.99

EDIT:

My concern is power usage. I have an Radeon R9 290 slightly overclocked and it pulls ~278 watts when running heavy load benchmarks, such as 3DMark, and you know the wattage use for a non-overclocked GTX 980 Ti. The Fury X comes with a good water cooler, which will keep temps down, however, what does a water cooler indicate regarding power usage? Some reviewers already know, unfortunately, they cannot release figures atm, but very soon.

Nvidia released the GTX 980 Ti prior to the release of Fury X to grab as many customers as possible before it's release. This leads me to believe performance will be interesting. June 24th will be in four days and we will all know then.

The chart is indeed real... AMD gave everyone permission to post the reviewers guide since it was leaked so badly already.
