TAKE MY MONEY!

AMD is doubling-down in its efforts to attract prospective virtual reality users with a brand new flagship GPU.

 

The R9 Fury X is a dual-GPU card that features an ace up its sleeve – HBM.

 

HBM stands for 'high-bandwidth stacked memory', a new design for graphics cards that AMD is introducing for the first time with the Fury X.

 

The R9 300 lineup is due for release on June 18th with the R9 Fury X following on June 24th. The Fury X will be priced at $649 (£408).

Err, you forgot the VAT.

 

$649 = £496.37.

 

The Fury X costs £509.99 on Overclockers website and Scan are selling them for £546.62.

I think I would rather have a 980 Ti since it's pretty much the same price as the Fury X, it's slightly faster overall and you don't have to worry about driver issues.
