Did not know about them, when are they scheduled to release? If you know that is.
 
And question for Nateman, You doing vanity plates for the X99 classified blocks?

Pure rumor about 980ti. Suspecion is waiting for 390x to drop first but amd seems to be waiting for 980ti first. Its a losing game for amd though. While they hold back their cards nvidia sells the 980. If they release their cards, nvidia will trump them.

IDK, I heard that AMD is working on some new RAM that will blow DDR5 out of the water.

The numbers that are popping up for HBM are pretty incredible for bandwidth (640 GB/s vs 224 GB/s on the 980), but don't know how well the first generation of it will do, http://wccftech.com/amd-20nm-r9-390x-feautres-20nm-hbm-9x-faster-than-gddr5/
Also getting the fab down to 20nm could lead to some big performance increases, been a lot of shady benchmarks out there but will have to wait and see

Up next, GTX 980 Classified?

No worries, they will be out in 10-12 months.. LoL. Get the 980s and sell them later. They hold their value fairly well.

Also, the AMD memory thing.. I hope it is true, but will the card have the power to handle it and utilize it properly? If not, it won't matter enough... I hope it does, as that would be fun to see. I would actually consider building a mud blood step brother build again.

Man, I still have an X79 rig with a 3960X and two 680 Classifieds on it that I need to sell. lol
Doubt I will be able to sell it.

I dont think you will have an issue selling it. There are late adopters looking around all the time. Just think fair pricing or be willing to bargain a little.

May be able to sell the whole kit or break it into pieces and sell the 680 as a SLI set to someone and the board/chip to someone else, nothing wrong with any of the parts in terms of actual performance and still better then most gamers out there but since this is a hardware forum the average here tends to be a little higher then normal  lol (http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/)

Yeah lots of questions on how well it work, but even if they can't fully utilize it right away removes one potential bottleneck for future, will be interesting to see the effect this has on high VRAM situations, 4k, SLI/xfire, but as per usual have to play the waiting game for it

According to all the leaks it appears to be 28nm. Linkdin accounts for their developers showed a few things about a 28nm computer card using first ever 500gb/s ram that uses 300w. It also appears the chips have been made and ready to ship but havent yet.

Yeah think the first one is going to be 28nm, would make sense for the small increase in TDP from the 290X, and would also explain why they are talking about shipping with included liquid cooled units, didn't realize that the article I checked was 4 months out of date, sorry about that
