Will the reviews etc be released tomorrow with the GPU launch?

Hopefully they go live tonight after midnight. Might get a few slip through the net early.

Biggest concern with Fury X launch is just how much will Titan X lose in value. Considering the 12GB of vram maybe there will still be people interested even if Fury X is a bit faster?

 

[Boomstick777]

Its a toss up. £600 on a Fury x, £650 on a 4k 40" Phillips or a JMS Intake for my Clio 172 to get more POWARHHH

Get the Fury X because then you can sell your 290X's and re coup some money.

this place is going to be hell at 13:00pm tomorrow....especially if Kaap buys up al lthe stock....curse you Kaap.

Best be ready with the F5 key tomorrow. Fingers on the triggers

This is a really smart cooler design. No wonder it runs so cool. Nice one AMD.

 

[Boomstick777]

^^ Yup Nvidia went with the cheaper option. Nvidia's CEO said HBM would be to expensive for this year, and will introduce it next year when it is cheaper.

Huang said that for now HBM is too expensive

in the next year or so we'll be able to take advantage of that technology.

[Boomstick777]

yes, well done, but what happens when nvidia have a process improvement AND HBM and AMD have only the process improvement to rely on?

You don't think AMD will also have a process improvement?

Could you elaborate?

 

[Boomstick777]

Boom that top image almost looks like someones DIY project but I like it

I think the design is genius.

The core and memory all water cooled. That metal plate / copper pipe cooling the rest of the card.

Really nice design, I bet temps are awesome.

 

[Boomstick777]

Me too, Fury Nano is probably the one for me, unless it ends up less bang for £ than the Nvidia cards.

I think that is literally impossible.

 

[Boomstick777]

Well ive got this coming tomorrow

Now just got to get a Fury X

Nice.

Hope your F5 key is at the ready !!

 

[Boomstick777]

you cant polish a turd mate

What is the turd in reference to though? I said I like the design so that can't be the turd..

Do you mean Fury X performance? The last 4 Nvidia drivers? Gameworks? Fury X HBM? GTX 970?

 

[Boomstick777]

More than likely how the fury card looks, he's been going on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about it since the first images.

*I need some attention*

Haha, ok I'm with you now

 

[Boomstick777]

AMD's launch timing worked out well, Nvidia have released another system crippling driver and lot's of peeps are now considering moving to AMD.

Which when you think only a few weeks ago they wanted to move from AMD to Nvidia because why? Drivers lol.

Will base my purchase on whoever has best hardware, if AMD's Fury X has Titan X level performance and can really run at under 50C I will def pick one up.

Roll on reviews !

AMD Joe can you just tell us if Fury X beats the Titan X across most games?

 

[Boomstick777]

It's awesome looking imho.

 

[Boomstick777]

Right gonna give this fan config one last go lol.

Would this work?

 

[Boomstick777]

Why a nope? Lol.

 

[Boomstick777]

Fury X won't fit at rear as H105 sticks out so only a single 120mm can fit in the back.

Lol this is a nightmare

@ Davedree PSU at bottom of case, would be next to the FURY X Radiator.

Why a nope? Lol.

As not much gap below, and sitting on a carpet.

Probably worth a try, but with it only being around 2.5 inches all in (fnarr fnarr ), i'll be able to get it at the rear, as got just under 3.5 inches gap to squeeze it in, or i could see (which from looking it may do), if i can squeeze it into my 5.25 drive cage, as im only using the top slot.

Haha, got you.

Meladath Oh... great.

Maybe what you have now but spin the back 120mm around pulling cool air in? That way you can cool both the CPU and GPU with fresh air from outside and quickly exhaust it out and no low pressure problem again.
I see its very common to have that back fan sucking air in with a 2 rad CPU AIO.

This sounds like a plan, I imagine I will get a ton of dust in my PC though lol. I think when I do pick up a Fiji I'm going to take case apart clean everything and re think the fan setup.

May even move the H105 as front intake or something with some case modding. Then get FURY x at the rear. I refuse to get a new case lol. This will work dammit

My F5 key is ready.
