I just love the minimalist, industrial design, braided tubing, topped off with load power LED's.
Gorgeous.
And I want one!
Just a bit worried about AMD driver support.

Confirms my educated guess of AMD bet on DX12.

Don't be amd driver are running great, no black screen crashing working as they should..
The only thing and need to work more on is crossfire support for some games but most of the time this isn't an issue..
Single gpu driver support is great.
AMD drivers are absolutely fine with a single card in my experience. Never tried Crossfire myself, but people seem to have more issues there.

DX12 is gonna be interesting
Its going to improve on crossfire with Dx12.
single card driver is awesome for what I used it for.
Not as impressive as everyone was making it out to be.

Lets hope the usual people dont feel the need to ruin this thread like they did the last one.
Although saying that, I think a lot of people cant quite handle how wrong their predictions were so are more likely to keep hushed.

I do genuinely think AMD have been focused on DX12 features for a long time, fighting to get MS to add them in before forcing the issue with Mantle.
I think in DX12 games pre Maxwell v2 stuff vs older GCN stuff will be a bit of a white wash. Fury x vs Maxwell V2, still think AMD have been building an architecture for that is optimised for such features for a long time and will have an advantage, time will tell.
It won't be relevant and I wouldn't advise anyone to buy a AMD gpu because of it either, but I'd like to compare performance of the 'current' architectures (Fermi through V2 Maxwell and GCN 1.0 through 1.2) on DX12 only engines. Games built from the ground up not to work within the confines and limits of DX11. Games probably 2-3 years away. As said current gpu performance won't be particularly relevant then at all, just will be interested to see how all these cards do on such games.

I must admit, I was expecting a bigger gap than what those AMD benchmarks showed. It's nice that people can now get TX performance for cheaper though

I'm interested in the Fury X but one thing I would like to know is are there going to be any after market water blocks (EK) as I really don't want to use the built in water cooling rad/pump combo. Not even sure if I have the space for it as I'm running all custom water inside my Phanteks Luxe.
The only place I might be able to mount it is where the rear 140mm fan is in my case, but then again it will be a tight squeeze as my case is jammed packed with radiators. Depends on how thick the rad/pump is.

Dunno if it's been posted but Hexus has some info from a FuryX presentation in Asia ft at is currently going on
Check the AMD slide on their benchmark of the FuryX in far cry4 vs the TitanX

I think both companies dislike HDMI as NV also snubbed it by only providing electrical compatibility and not adhering to spec.
I have a feeling they want DP to succeed so they pay less money for ports.

This is the crux (for me).
And or £549 v £650 (EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid), you're getting newer tech (HBM), better cooling, and a vastly (IMO) better looking card, designed from the ground up to be AIO.
