AMD R9 'Fury Nano' will be part of Fury Lineup releasing at E3

Equally always, please classify a few seconds to noticing the very pretty looking rumor tag above. AMD is planing on unveiling its adjacent generation GPU lineup on the 16th of June. While we already accept a pretty skilful idea of the tech itself, the nitty gritty of the details remain hazy. Hwbattle.com, a tech publication that has been spot on so far, claims that AMD will be launching with not ii only iii flavors of Fury: the Fury PRO, the Fury XT and the Fury Nano.

Fury Nano allegedly role of Fiji lineup, followed by Fury 'XT' and Fury 'PRO'

The written report states that ADoc volition be releasing three different classes of Fury - Nano, XT and PRO. If the study is accurate than the Fury Nano is virtually probably the water cooled Fiji GPU we take seen everywhere. Nosotros also know that triple fan variants are going to be present at the launch anniversary. Looks like AMD is gearing upwards for quite a launch at E3. The report also states that the Republic of the fiji islands flagship volition be trading bows with the GTX 980 Ti. The price point of $899 is mentioned again. Infact, the same price signal was mentioned recently by Hermitage Akihabara who accept stated that AMD is notwithstanding deliberating on re-adjusting it based on the GTX 980 Ti'due south performance levels.

If AMD does not reduce the cost and so the top tier Fury GPU could have that price tag while the other models are priced significantly lower. This pricing strategy, if information technology turns out to be truthful, will allow AMD to deploy marketplace skimming also as undercutting Nvidia pricing at the same time. The only problem with this strategy is Fiji's limitation of 4GB vRAM compared to the 980 Ti'southward 6GB of vRAM - information technology remains to be seen what affect this will take, if any, on actual operation and consumer perception.

Equally far as what we can deduce from the naming strategy, the Nano is the most easily guessed at. The term Nano possibly indicates the super modest 19cm footprint of the water cooled edition of Fiji. The XT and PRO variants will probably be air cooled and the triple-fan air cooler nosotros have heard so much about probably comes into play here. We likewise know that custom AIB variants of atleast one model are expected - the Fury PRO being the virtually likely candidate in this case. In whatever case, speculation is pointless since the release is practically a few days abroad now. The reveal of the Fury Nano naming scheme notwithstanding - is worth talking about. Assuming the written report is authentic ofcourse.
