No. I have the Sapphire Fury Tri-x and as good a card as it is if I could go back I'd stay on the (not much slower performance when overclocked) 290x I had and wait for the next gen.
 
So, looks like 28 people voted.

I would like to know the reason why most people wouldn't buy it again? I found that interesting.

So, if you can state why you would buy or not buy it again if you had to do it all over again.

I voted no.

I bought a used Gigabyte Fury X and it had the horrible grating pump whine that rendered it unusable for me. I got a refund and went for a Fury Tri-X and contrary to Nashthedog's experience I find it to be a significant jump in performance over the 290X Lightning I had, at least at 4K.

I wouldn't touch a used Fury X with a barge-pole unless the seller showed it had a revision 2 pump and assured me it was silent.

Because many who voted, might not have ever went close to a FuryX, and the question looks to them "Would you buy the Fury X?"

And in a forum where Nvidia is religion for many, clapping at Nvidia who sell them the GTX970 instead of throwing at them rotten vegetables and eggs for the marketing scam, says a lot about the No votes also.

So from the 5 people here who answered.

2 said yes.

3 No with reasons :
"rather to stick to the 290X to avoid the expense since new gen is around the corner"
"no comment" (Gregkster) :P
"the second hand I bought was faulty".

Take your pick. Or better go to the fury X discussion and ask the question.
 
Best to rephrase the question to 'would you recommend a Fury X?'.

Most people who had bought a gpu probably wouldn't buy the same one again. They would go for something newer or faster.

I did give a fair reason but to elaborate, I kept the fastest GPU out of the Fury X and Titan X :)

Also Dicehunter ended up switching from the FX to an eVGA 980Ti (with a good clock out of the box I may add) and was pretty stunned at the overall difference :cool:

Hopefully the FX would have caught up to a stock Ti with drivers now :)

My methodical testing stunned me. Sure my TX is an EVGA SC but it kinda ripped the FX a new one :eek:
 
to me AMD made few mistake during Fury's launch, launching fury X before fury with drivers not ready, when basicaly both cards performed the same.( launching fury before furyX would'v been better)
one other thing that bothers me after release, why is AMD acting so stupid, by forcing other manufacturers to use coolers too big for the PCB of the fury, or plainly not allowing costume FuryX or Nano, yes we got it AMD managed a small factor GPU, that doesnt mean you have to force ppl to buy a product with an average cooler (yes they are not bad, but they are not great either), this kind of behavior i would have expect it from a competitor but not from AMD, it's so out of character, i hope they change this.

In fairness to AMD, they had to launch as Nvidia did bring out the 980Ti and Titan X with no real answer other than the 295x2 and were probably rushed into it to stop the competition. The drivers have given some nice gains as well but like you say, would have been better at launch and would have made pretty much all of AMD's range far more attractive. With Raja heading up a dedicated GPU team, I can see them being more on the ball now and really looking forward to Polaris personally and seeing what it can do.
