This doesn't look like it's active adapter and that's a problem for me. i need active adapter and that's expensive. Oh and it must be Active DP-DL-DVI not Single link dvi.

But... but... how about 120hz monitors that utilizes dual dvi ports ???

i must also say I get why there's no DVI cause this is not where what this card is designed for. Remember they will have a Fiji Watercooled and air cooled version so maybe the aircooled will come with DVI. They thought well if you still runing DVI with this card you doing it wrong. Let's just see and hope that they will bring a card with DVI out but it doesn't bother me that much cause how AMD is doing and the recent thing about the drivers being way below par it's a no brainer for me to go Nvidia. I'm not fully against AMD cause I know they can do better. If only the drivers was on time and they at least had better PR and not worried about this "The fixer" nonsense then I will be happy to buy AMD card again.

one of my clan mates went from r9 290 3 way crossfire to gtx980 and playing on rog swift now and he told me it was so worth it.

What "recent thing about the drivers being way below par"...? I'm not familiar with that--I've got ~40 games installed in my current Win10 10122 build at home, from very recently released games to 20-year-old-games +, and I don't have a problem with the Catalysts--they run great in all of those games--don't have single one that simply won't run (or run optimally) because of the current Cats (and I'm running a beta WDDM 2.0 driver from AMD at the moment--the WDDM 1.3 drivers are even better, imo.) But I don't have xFire, either (I used to have it--a pair of 4850's, until I bought a single 1GB 5770 that performed as well as both of them in xFire.) From what I've read, the grass for xFire is no greener at all with SLI, as nV certainly has its own set of problems. What do you expect him to say?...;) If I'd lost my shirt on a lateral move like that, I'd want to say the same thing--but then, I'd never have done that in the first place...! Heh...;) My driver support from AMD is great at the moment--everything is changing with respect to SLI/xFire with DX12--but I'll admit I don't see things from a multi-gpu perspective anymore, either...

Pretty bloody sad effort that it only has Display Port 1.2a... So as we are moving into the 4K era AMD release a top of the line card that does not support monitors already released with Display Port 1.3 that could allow high refresh rates or 3D at 3840×2160... Seems pretty retarded

There is no problem with just using an DP->DVI adapter. Like this one for example.

I am and I will 😀

Wait, this reminds me of somebody.... 😀

If that ROP count is true... I questions how well it will do in 4K vs. GTX 980 Ti.

I thought Hilbert said HBM1 could only do 4GB

HBM as a spec can scale out to 8 stacks. However whether AMD’s implementation supports that is another matter entirely. AMD is hinting at the fact that this will only be a 4GB card, though that’s something I’m reserving judgement for until the official specs have been announced. Both AMD and NVIDIA are known to engage in misdirection when it serves them, and in either case there’s no rush to judge. The HBM stacks themselves only come in 1GB currently, so you have to go with 8 stacks to get 8GB.

I thought Hilbert said HBM1 could only do 4GB?

I think there was something else though about HBM1 and the memory, as in it can only do stacks in certain configurations such as 4x1024 stacks, or 8x1024 stacks? I'll have to find that slide and info from AMD again.

An obvious concern is the limit of 4GB of memory for the upcoming Fiji GPU – even though AMD didn’t verify that claim for the upcoming release, implementation of HBM today guarantees that will be the case. Is this enough for a high end GPU? After all, both AMD and NVIDIA have been crusading for larger and larger memory capacities including AMD’s 8GB R9 290X offerings released last year. Will gaming suffer on the high end with only 4GB? Macri doesn’t believe so; mainly because of a renewed interest in optimizing frame buffer utilization. Macri admitted that in the past very little effort was put into measuring and improving the utilization of the graphics memory system, calling it “exceedingly poor.” The solution was to just add more memory – it was easy to do and relatively cheap. With HBM that isn’t the case as there is a ceiling of what can be offered this generation. Macri told us that with just a couple of engineers it was easy to find ways to improve utilization and he believes that modern resolutions and gaming engines will not suffer at all from a 4GB graphics memory limit. It will require some finesse from the marketing folks at AMD though…

Don't expect 8GB version, unless AMD decided to keep both intel and nVidia in fog unexpecting any competition, and then sudden blow in the balls with both carrizo and GPUs. I only want to see how will be Fiji's 4GB vram utilized vs r9-290x 4GB while running same settings in benchmarks/games which go close to 3~4 GB. (And even if it is same, it would be enough for me - but I would be pissed on AMD to throw "improved utilization / buffers" sentences at us.)

AMD’s upcoming Titan equivalent flagship Radeon graphics card is rumored to be dubbed “Fury”. R9 390X to be based on enhanced Hawaii. We had previously pointed out that AMD’s 300 series naming structure would simply not allow for a 300 series Fiji based graphics card to exist.

I actually kind of wonder if AMD will have some special kind of AA available that uses the increased bandwidth to it's advantage. That would be neat. But yeah I'm not really expecting an 8GB card, I just think it should have been 8GB. And I know for most people 4GB is plenty, but I was just kind of hoping I could finally go 4K with this card and be happy with it.
