Hi there
Sapphire Fury Nitro is now in stock!
Would be nice if the Gigabyte Fury X was in earlier.. good price on those.
Any chance you will get some Sapphire ones in?

4GB is plenty for the next few years
Yeah, thats why the 390s, the next tier down, are their recommended cards now, as they can run at higher settings than the Furys, which isn't right is it

Here we go again
I've seen a chart of gpu ram usage that shows the hbm cards using less ram than their gddr5 counterparts at the same graphics settings. So 4GB might last longer than we expect. I mean that the cards might run out of grunt to deliver a good framerate before it runs out of ram.
Looking at the steam hardware survey it seems that 8 GB is far from the norm so games won't target this for a while

The Tri-x is the reference card, It's also the one that runs cooler due to the length of the pcb's, The Asus has a full length pcb while the Tri-x has the short Fury x length pcb offering less resistance through the heatsink. The Nitro is 3/4 length.
It made a noticeable difference between the temps, fan speeds and noise of the reference tri-x and the Asus Strix, It probably won't make much of a difference between the Nitro and Tri-x though. I was expecting the Nitro to clock better thanks to it's custom PCB design.
The Nitro's definitely the Fury to get.

I managed to offload my R9 290 to a friend for a decent Price, so I went ahead
and pulled the trigger on a R9 Fury nitro.
I hope I won't regret it since it is the most expensive gpu I ever bought
Done the same here, should tie me over until Vega comes out and drops in price (if its any good). Just seen I have the email telling me its been shipped

Having previously owned a 390 and a Fury Nano, running both at 3440x1440, I can say that is not true.
The nano outperformed the 390 in everything I threw at it.

Nano/Fury is minimum 20% faster than a 390, and in many situations around 50% faster.
That 4GB isn't going to hold it back for a while yet.

If you had no card and were offered a 390 Nitro and a Fury Nitro are you telling me you would take the 390?

Just picked up the Fury Nitro - hopefully a big jump from my 270x
It's not just big it's massive.

Yep, as the 390s are still cracking cards, and have enough vram, buying a card with only 4GB vram now, is a bad idea, imo.
The Furys were just a tester card (like that old 4 series one).
