Anyone see AMD's new graphic cards they're coming out with?

They've got updates to their main line at quite good prices - I had my eye on an 8GB 290X but it's more expensive than the new 8GB 390X! So that's cool

But the cool thing is their Fury cards with HBM. Should be ultra fast memory in those cards which could make them quite good vs higher end nViDIA carss like Titan.

All in all, still gotta wait for benchmarks but it looks sick and should bring sim great competition.

Hmm, Interesting.. I have historically had mixed feelings on AMD cards, but I will keep my eyes on these.

The new HBM cards are supposed to have 8+ times the memory bandwidth (4096-bit bus instead of 512 or 256).
