hi i am considering buy the fury x for hardcore 4k gaming.

should i buy 2 fury x's or should i wait till september for the fury x2 (dual gpu version)?

i thinking it would make sense to go for 2x seperate fury x's because it will come with 2 watercoolers so will run much cooler than a dual gpu card.

and if it breaks down only one card breaks.
 
Wait IMO for the 8GB Fury X. (if they come out)

You are going to be running very high settings @ 4K so 4GB *might* not be enough.

I mentioned *might* so some AMD Fanboy doesn't bite my head off.
 
Next week we should get reviews and some user feedback. Best to wait until then to see how 4GB HBM copes at 4K etc.

The dual AMD card will likely end up with a beefy cooler so you should be set for that or two separate Fury X's. Depending on how long you can wait as the dual Fury X card isn't due until later this year.

Get the reviews first though than can make a more informed choice between Fury X and 980 Ti for 4K.

does the fury x2 also come with microstutter as it wudve in crossfiring the furyx?

Micro stutter is present with both Crossfire and SLI. Something to consider if you are sensitive to it (I stopped running dual cards because of the stutter).

Regarding overall dual card experience, I always found Nvidia SLI better. Next week we should get single card and dual reviews. See how they stack up against Nvidia's 980 Ti and 980 Ti SLI.

To elaborate on Booms points - Bear in mind too that any crossfire issues will still exist with an X2 (dual gpu on one pcb) card.

So lack of crossfire profiles/ drivers and any microstutter issues, will still be present. I had an ATI 4870x2 a few moons ago.
If you have the case space and motherboard, I'd be more tempted to go for 2 separate cards. The performance is usually higher too, as they clock down the dual cards.

And before any AMD fanboys bite my head off too, it's exactly the same for SLI and Nvidia 'x2' cards. Although at least Nvidia release **** drivers more regulalry :D;)

Well, I'm pretty sure the fundamentals of dual cards (2 GPUs on 1 pcb) haven't changed since the 4870x2 days. ie you are still at the mercy of crossfire support / profiles and drivers.

I'll stand corrected if someone knows otherwise and things have changed :)
 
But what about when they say that 2 graphics card doesnt mean your gonna get 100% extra performance but rather 75% extra performance.is this still gonna be the case with crossfire?
