According to a new report, it appears that AMD will not allow memory overclocking on the upcoming Radeon R9 Fury X graphics cards.

Counted as one of the biggest features on the upcoming Fiji GPU based Radeon Fury series graphics cards, the High Bandwidth Memory, which is stacked next to the GPU on the same package, will not be overclockable, according to the report from Legitreviews.com.

Featuring 4GB of HBM clocked at 500MHz and paired up with a 4096-bit memory interface, the Fury X will end up with a 512GB/s of memory bandwidth, higher than anything we have seen so far. Unfortunately, it appears it will be as highest as we will see, at least for now.

According to the report, AMD feels that the memory technology is too new and there is more than enough bandwidth so the memory overclocking will be locked in AMD Overdrive.

Hopefully some overclockers will find a way to push it further as we would certainly like to see how far it can go.
