[OvEr_KiLL]

ok so i will get an active adapter guys! but what about my rm 650w? will i need say an 850w? and it will run smooth with my 8350?

The 650W will be fine, as long as you don't want to overclock the card. Your 8350 will bottleneck it in some Direct3D 11 games. But it will not in Direct3D 12.

It is called progress my friend. Display ports can do far more than Dvi ports overall and take up less space.

Pfft bring back d-sub !

You do need an active adaptor, the cheap £8.99 single link adaptors won't work for you with 120hz.

OcUK don't seem to stock them so I'll put an amazon link...

Not cheap I'm afraid!

They will still be expensive regardless of the site you buy them from.

i would not be supprised if the fury comes with a dp to dvi adaptor, my asus 7970 had one in the box

Oh dear, must be getting old..

Lol good explanation (answer that you gave).

That would be a PASSIVE adapter, they only work in single link mode. You need an ACTIVE adapter for dual link DVI.

 

[old gamer]

the one i got wirh the asus 7970 is active

 

[Poneros]

Well, we'll find out soon enough I guess. Just don't order before you know.

 

[Stas823]

Seems crazy, keep your 290 and spend your money on i5/z97 instead.

will my specs in my signature bottle neck the fury x water cooled version to you reckon specifically the 8350? and will the corsair rm 650w be enough? and will there be gigabyte, saphire, msi etc. versions of it next week?
cheers guys

In Vulkan & DX12, to practically no extent whatsoever in 90% of games.

In DX11, depending on the game, sometimes significantly, sometimes not at all.

IMO now is a bad time to upgrade. Skylake launches later in the year, and Zen probably before the end of Q1 next year.

Broadwell is dead on arrival, and Haswell is 2 generations old as of Skylake's launch.

Either way, just getting the FuryX, you should see a pretty massive uplift in performance in a lot of titles.
