**AMD Fiji Thread**

To be fair thats not quite true. The new drivers for the 300 series work fine with the 200 series by just modifying the inf.

People are reporting 10 fps more in Witcher with their 290x cards which is a 20% gain.

I cant see any reason why these couldnt have been released as beta for the 200 series now.

I'm not so sure, i think this is just a situation that's game related.
In this link they proved the 390x clock for clock is the same http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/06/18/msi_r9_390x_gaming_8g_video_card_review/9#.VYM5uEZiMvx

So Gimping the 200 series to make the 300 series look better than they actually are hey!

Do you have proof and testing for this? A handful have flashed to the 390x BIOS, I know that much.

 

[Combat Fighter]

Does anyone know if you can disconnect the tubing on the AIO cooler and refill it will coolant again or is it a completely tamper proof design?

 

[Superpatsy]

I misunderstood the original question slightly Superpatsy but yes, 2xx will not be going legacy anytime soon.

Good stuff! just hoping I can still get a good sale on both my 280X's to soften the blow of the Fury X!

Ive just run a small overclock at 1100/1300 and now beating some overclocked 980Ti on here

Amazeballs. Will give it a go. Hopefully my memory is up to it.

Thanks.

Is there such a thing as overkill? One begs to differ Sir Taken.

Embrace the Fury X and experience something new, something different, something cool and something quiet. Oh, and something fast.

I'm not sure if my wallet is as willing to Embrace the experience as I am

Depends how you want to play frankly, though with a 1900x1200 screen I'd guess it's not 120hz+?

The monitor is a SyncMaster 2433BW

I've not flashed the bios, just loaded the modded inf. 3dmark strike scores up 9.1%.

Ive just run Mordor on ultra in 4k with the texture pack and got the following

Max 140 fps
Average 77 fps
Min 21

It did dip twice right near the beginning to 21 fps but never again during the benchmark.

Im quite happy for 2 290x cards which cost me £260 for the pair

The similarity of those graphs is uncanny.

it's funny though as nutella and others who were cherry picking the witcher results claiming improved tesselation isn't due to clocks, or memory timings.
Forgot to mention this clock for clock page.

I'm going to buy the air cooled Fury when it gets a little cheaper. Not too fond of watercooling.

 

[nashathedog]

It's interesting how the Fury wins every test and then loses every test once both cards are overclocked.

[Wah007]

So, better drivers they been working on they could have released for 200 series users?

Glad I left amd in my rear view mirror.

You left it in your rear view mirror and now it's infront of your windscreen.

 

[eyetrip]

so why are you posting in this thread if you got no interest in AMD cards?

I may not be buying it, but I am interested in seeing what it has to offer.

And I'm not saying I won't go amd again. I just won't for a long while.

the way they have presented the overclocked results is super confusing to me, sometimes not using the same ingame settings, sometimes they are

kind of makes it a bit pointless...

tell me if im wrong, happy to be corrected ^^;

Hmm, let's be honest the fury x is basically on par with the 980ti.

So buyers choosing the fury get an nice cool and quiet AIO cooled card whist with the 980ti you get gameworks that is in some big AAA titles and an extra 2GB vram. Tough choice, I would probably go with ti for the better feature set.

 

[nashathedog]

Well the new 300 series/fury 15.20 drivers rock!

Installed on my 290x and seen a 9.1% gain in 3dmark already.

Going to test in some games now.

can I have a link to 15.20 please

The Fury is only overclocked by 100mhz from what AMD said. We don't know what the gtx980ti overclock is. It could be way higher but we should know better when decent overclockers get a hold of them and add some voltage. Memory overclocking is going to be interesting as well.
