The thing is AMD are increasing their GPGPU share, their workstation cards are pretty good, powerful, efficient and what matters here' big.
Fiji will eventually end up a workstation card and with its massive 8.6 TFlops of compute power it blows NV Maxwell 6.1 TFlops GM200 out of the water for around the same power consumption.
Workstation GPU's is really where all the money is at as they sell them for 3 thousand £ + a pop. sell just 1000 of those and its £3m banked.
Its worth competing in that space and they can't do that without big GPU's.
Yey. It maybe beats a card that is nearly a year old and it costs more.
Not that impressed, fair enough if you prefer AMD and have been waiting for them, but I would pay the extra for the X variant.
Gotta give it this though Andy, it's a compute monster!!!

I think these cards will only begin to really shine once DX12 games are upon us
By day I am a user and purchaser of workstation cards. It's the single sole reason why I have gone AMD at home for the last few years. Nvidia's merciless gouging on their Quadro cards, just because they can, is absolutely inexcusable to my mind.
I can't speak for those working with compute tasks, but for industrial 3D workloads the FirePro cards wipe the floor with the Quadro in terms of more for less, and have done for a few years now.
What's sad is that even in the professional space there are so many who are absolutely unswayable in their belief that Quadro cards are the only option.
Fury 1133Mhz vs GTX 980 1517Mhz
I'm really impressed with the Fury here.
Very impressive performance from the Fury Pro.
The Witcher 3 @2160p looks a bit choppy though after playing it on a pile of TXs.

The Fury Tri-X, is quieter than the Fury X AIO cooled.
lol, not impressive as its beating a card thats nearly a year old, and costs more, yet the 980, which came out to beat a card nearly a year old, that also cost more, was, you just couldn't make it up
Good watch and I was more impressed with the 980 in truth. The guy comes across as genuine and seemed honest.
I would take that with a pinch of salt
My Fury Xs are the quietest cards I have ever owned.
I'm not clicking wccf so can only speculate they count the fanless idle mode as "silent".

18th September 2014 is 12 months ago?
Interesting when the Fury launched and beat the 980 people complained the 980 wasn't OC'd. Now it's at 1517Mhz and still being beat people complain. Poor AMD can't get a break.
Can't say I am, I don't OC my GPUs at all as running the software for it open conflicts with other programs I use daily and crashes games.
So for me it makes the Fury seem like much better value.
