****Official OcUK Fury X Review Thread****

[J.D]

So much for the No Baiting/Trolling rules..

I know . I've reported the user as he/she is becoming overwhelmingly obnoxious about the situation. Care cup is spilling over it seems.

If this was available in quantity now for £450 if would be a lot more appealing, Losing 2gb over the titan x and being the same price is what makes it a bit meh.

Honestly joking aside this card should be £350-400

Unlike you I'm not an immature fanboy, I have a TX in the rig I'm typing from.

Fact is you're saying things that didn't happen.

Yes it never happened,the R295x2 was of course HDMI 2.0 same the the Fluffy X is.

Those crossfire drivers were coming so darn fast n furious back in the day I could not keep up.

You here that folks, IT NEVER HAPPENED!

When its performance is actually competitive at 4k. why is the RAM amount the issue here? Genuine question as it clearly performs in the cases where the RAM should be a problem.

Is it just a case of bigger number? Whats your reasoning on the 2GB loss comment?

People calling it faildozer etc. But we have here a GPU that trade blows

Yes it trades blows but then the TI knocks it out of the ball park.

The fury x should have been a winner, AMD knew they failed before they sold it. No HDMI 2 and don't even think about getting drivers.

Farcry 4 does ok @ 1440p according to hardcop.

Ouch! Just read their results and conclusion. Pretty much the same message on all review sites that the 980Ti is better than the Fury X in the majority of benchmarks.

[Nobody Dies]

At £420, I would buy one.

 

[Strife212]

It's not that bad at all, 980Ti has just made it kind of pointless.

 

[Orangey]

Haven't seen this mentioned so far and I think it's a glaring oversight, Fury X's performance in 4K SoM ultra pack means their VRAM memory management tricks are true?

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2939...iew-amds-thoughtful-4k-powerhouse.html?page=2

There's one confirming they are using the pack and pushing settings to full. Equal with the TX and Ti. Surely if they were lying the Fury X would be a slideshow at those settings? Thoughts?

I did say on the 23rd of March this year that this would be Bulldozer all over again and sadly my hunch turned out to be roughly correct. I really wish it wasn't.

On what planet is this Bulldozer. I literally don't understand, are people choosing to be blind today? Actually look at the numbers below (Click Spoiler). The Fury X has to be the first GPU ever to be winning in a big variety of games and be called Bulldozer..

Instead, the Radeon R9 Fury X delivers performance surreally similar to Nvidia’s 980 Ti. Sure, the GM200-based board tends to finish ahead at 2560x1440, while the Fury’s massive memory bandwidth gives it the advantage at 3840x2160. In either case, though, you’d have a tough time telling the two cards apart.

 

[Diddums]

It would be nice to have a reasonable discussion about this. Can we have a new thread and leave faceboy and his kin to play here with the other kids?

Again you're ignoring me and just plowing ahead with what's already prepared in your head.

You said people were claiming en masse that Fury would destroy Nvidia, that didn't happen. Most were quietly optimistic and realistic, hoping for it to trade blows and come in at a decent price.

 

[Freddie1980]

Why would you buy a FuryX at £510 when you get this for another £15? Crossfire drivers can't be that bad, surely?

Ok never happened, EVER! got it

Enjoy the card

Annoying how pepole forget to mention it's watercooled and limited overclocking wise. This is ocuk most users oc. I'm more then certain if nvidia put a aio on their gpu they would eat the fury x. any graphs for oc 980ti vs fury X oc?

Put the handbag away Boom, you got me all wrong. The point I was making was that we waited a bloody long time with no information whilst hyping it up, only to be presented with a product which doesn't meet our hopes (ie. not expectations). We all wanted this to be a TX smasher but we're a bit disappointed. That's what I meant

 

[SiDeards73]

I don't understand though while it performs so meh at 1080p and only really gets better at 1440p but seems to be half decent at 4k, normally the performance is the opposite where it excels at lower res and struggles the higher the res goes.

For me it's simple, I cba overclocking my gear, my 4770k is stock so is my 290 tri-x, they both work brilliantly at 1080p In the games I play, however I want a 27" 1440p screen but I know my 290 will struggle so I need a better card, was hoping the FuryX would dominate at 1440p and be near Nvidia cards at 4k (which I have no interest in) but it seems the card struggles at 1440p with current stuff so anything coming in the future is likely to struggle also, so should a new MMO come along there's a good chance it won't compete with the Nvidia cards in the same bracket.

That's my gripe with this whole thing, I was expecting the card to be a 1440 monster, it seems it's not

Can see their driver release notes now, known issues, XXXX - some users may observe poor performance, we are working with the developer to address this issue, with a gasme patch, so that we can then tune it.
