AMD

It's AMD and there's no blower.

>>57444598
Good question.

>>57444598
Price. And 28nm.

Like everyone keeps mentioning, price. I mean I understand it uses 1337 uber fast vRAM but to make it cost more than 2X as much as an R9 Fury is fucking bonkers.

>>57445226
Holy fuck literally what?
Didn't see the price before, was expecting as much as 450
That's insane what were they thinking

>>57445246

I bought mine at $475, they dropped the price pretty quick out of the gate i believe.

the price at launch was not bad, this was an extremely high binned fury x that was so efficient it used what, half the power of a normal fury x, in a form factor that had no answer to it.

the price was shitty, but fully understandable.

>>57444598
Too expensive, too little stock.

If it was max $300 then it would've sold a ton - even if it was a binned unit with less shaders.

>>57444598
They had absolutely horrible yields due to HBM, so they had no choice but to premium price it. Which made it highly uncompetitive, unless you wanted an extremely small form factor gaming PC.

I'm only hoping that they got enough engineering experience with it that they can do HBM2 much better, like back when the 4890 allowed them to pioneer 50nm and get the 5870 out the door a year before Nvidia.

>>57444598
it's made by AMD
poo in the loo rajeesh!

>>57447350
It's $300 now

>>57447350
thing is the nano was objectively better binned than standard variants, that fucker ran cool as ice

Availability.
Literally every product AMD releases is almost impossible to find for months.

you could say the same shit for nvidia, paper launches out the arsehole with this gen
