Is it important though?

With most upcoming PC games will be ported from console, probably not important at all.

Mantle 'push' Microsoft? No such thing.
DX12 is already in development long before AMD announced its Mantle initiative.
Beside, the so called Mantle low level is kinda useless because Catalyst driver cpu overhead.

DX development doesn't take one year to finish, it takes several years for testing suitability, acceptability and feasibility.
I think Mantle kinda rushed to the market. If you take a look on the mantle documentation, it is kinda......messy and feel rushed.
Really wonder how DICE is able to use the mantle renderer.

Mantle is destined for failure in first place.
Reason, AMD has somehow low discrete gpu market share.
For console argument;
PS4 dev tool uses PlayStation Shader Language (PSSL).
Xbox One on the other hand uses DirectX HLSL with dx 11.2 API.

We don't expect Sony to support mantle or microsoft to use its competitors API, no?

Reason for people saying some documentation from mantle is similar to dx12 documentation?
Simple, AMD contributed some of the code to Microsoft to review and included in DX12. It is not copying.

Hmm that 8.6 teraflops of single compute is no joke.

Looking at the math
4096/2816x5.6= 8.15. So theres extra .45 from fiji that indicates new gcn improvement.

Really need to see the new gcn feature level support. If its tier 3 on all categories seriously interesting.

This card is perfect for a itx build.

About the pricing though, I read at some forum mentioning someone from reddit will eat his shoe or sock if the Fury X costs less than USD 650........which AMD priced at USD649.....so.....

Both freesync and gsync really costs a bomb.
Wouldn't recommend you to buy it yet.  There are some issues associated with variable refresh rate for both.

ruffstuff ASUS MG279Q?

BTW, looks like Fury Nano would be my choice - I always found out that my case is too small for long graphics card...

so strange... hmm is this Nvidia GTX or AMD R threads ... ?? oh my when AMD R9 Fury X out somebody need to post a lot story about Fury on  Nvidia threads   on their First HBM memory GPU... on it  Sleek small form AMD R9 Nano..  hm too bad competitor wait next year to bring out gpu with HBM..

The problem with that HDMI1.4 versus HDMI2.0 at running 4k60 is on TV sets here its either at 4K30 on HDMI1.4 or 4K60 on HDMI2.0. Nothing in between. Unless there's a 55inch and above PC monitor Running at 4K60 I can use as replacement for a living room TV, it still affected the decision of those who sees Nano and Project Quantum as a viable HTPC solution but let down by AMD's lack of foresight.

I think you guys should chill down - It's good to have your own opinion, but do you guys seriously need to go that far? 

Anyway, it's good to see that Freesync is taking off:
