AMD Radeon R9 Fury X Photo Album Published - GPU-Z Screenshot Shows 128 ROPs Instead of 64

It's non yet the time for Fury X operation reviews simply we have a beautiful photo album of the new card and a peculiar GPU-Z screenshot. Notably AMD has already seeded R9 Fury X cards to the press and reviews are coming on the 24th. One such member of the press decided to run GPU-Z and lo and behold, it's reporting 128 ROPs instead of 64. Only before nosotros get into this interesting finding permit's briefly revisit Fury X's specs.

AMD R9 Fury X , R9 290X The Radeon R9 Fury X features the "full fat" version of AMD's Republic of the fiji islands GPU. Code named Fiji XT this bit is 596mm² big making it the biggest GPU AMD has created by far. In this vast silicon surface area over 4 yard GCN stream processors reside besides equally 256 texture mapping units and a massive 4096bit retention interface. Substantially giving each GCN stream processor its own lane by which it tin access HBM. This next generation High Bandwidth Retentivity is vertically stacked on an interposer and provides a whopping half a terabyte per second of bandwidth.

GPU-Z Screenshot Reveals 128 ROPs Instead of 64 Inside Republic of the fiji islands

Diligent Wccftech.com readers will point out that we in fact reported, exclusively, that Fury 10 would launch with all of the previously mentioned specifications a week before AMD's event at E3. Incidentally we also reported that Republic of the fiji islands XT features 128 Render Output Units, instead of the 64 figure disclosed by AMD. This is considering GPU-Z had reported, and all the same reports, that Fiji XT does indeed feature 128 ROPs.

Nosotros don't know exactly why GPU-Z is reporting this number of ROPs. It'southward just a false information entry in most likelihood that should be corrected with a time to come update. Since the memory bandwidth, texture make full-charge per unit and the pixel fill-rate are besides reported incorrectly. Regardless of what's beingness reported past GPU-Z it's worth noting that not all Render Output Units are created equal.
Both of AMD'southward Tahiti and Pitcairn GPUs share the same number of ROPs. However the ROPs in AMD'south Pitcairn GPU are notably smaller and less capable than the ones within Tahiti. It's non implausible that AMD could have engineered each of Fiji's ROPs in such a way to provide more than throughput than a Hawaii ( R9 290X ) ROP. I'm certainly not implying that this is the case equally we don't really know for sure yet. We may exist able to notice out on June 24 after the diverse reviews become online.

AMD did not reveal whatever substantial details near Republic of the fiji islands'south architecture and how it compares to Tonga. Which powers the R9 285 and is AMD's latest and just GCN 1.2 GPU. We have reached out to AMD to find out why no architectural details were revealed at the E3 consequence. We've been told that information technology was simply likewise difficult to parley this type of information over a power point presentation due to time constraints. As it happens none of Fiji's architectural details are really embargoed. So nosotros'll hopefully bring you some of those juicy $.25 soon.

In the meantime, and while you're waiting for the Fury X reviews to pop up on the 24th hither are some loftier quality R9 Fury 10 photos to relish.
