What did he expect? Titan eating monster? One only needs to look closer to shafting that was done by foundries to realise that AMD is just trying to get the best out of this crappy situation.
Also with recent reports of AMD behaviour I wouldn't be surprised that everyone who already has Fury X for reviews or sales do not have full package. Let's say for sales they packaged the card with 15.15 drivers, which might be meh, but workable to boot, but when the release is up they just get them 15.20 drivers out.
Obviously I am just speculating here or hoping, since I am already committed to couple of them

Pretty impressive gains from a driver considering it's the same pipeline.
Wrong thread bro.
i havent nope, not outside e3
and i havent seen the fury air version at all, there was gossip that is a triple fan? did they show that? cant remember lol
They're being listed here at 1pm Wednesday, apparently very limited stock and a chunky price premium because of this.
hm, thanks, will keep an eye on that. Hopefully Fury release will be nothing like recent Air Jordan shoe releases in Europe

The XL2730Z is TN panel. 144hz is very nice not much difference over 120hz though.
Yeah I use Freesync for most games now, only odd couple I disable it. I can notice a great deal with smoothness with Freesync enabled thats for sure. The Range on BenQ is 40-144 but PCper had it go down to 37fps before switching off. I never put myself that low of a frame rate though everything I do I aim to stay above 60fps.
Am about to send my BenQ Monitor back to BenQ free of charge to get updated so they fix the AMA setting when Freesync is enabled am really interested on what this will mean to me, going by the BenQ thread Version 2 firmware is a big deal..

Don't want to keep off topicing, so I'll leave it after saying that I was considering that monitor, but I really need 2 DisplayPort inputs (or 2 inputs that can do 1440p @ 144Hz preferably with Freesync).
Fury appears to be a very well balanced card for 1440p.

So to sum this up, What additional adapters will those of us need running 1080 60hz screens. As many will have triples, so this card only having one HDMI will need two DP to DVI or HDMI , to run the side screens, and will there be any additional lag?
Dp to dual link dvi id say, doubt there would be any lag, my 6990 had to use adaptors for eyefinity and it was fine.
I don't care what company achieves it, in 5 years time you wont be bothered about monitors, you be playing games in VR at 8k each eye. Running 16-32GB HBM memory, I see the future and it looks very nice. 
Then when it becomes really good in 10 -15 years time. How do we not know if we are in VR anyway! Crazy paradox.
Think of the best game graphics 15 years ago, now look !
HBM is to VR as is bread to butter, perfect match from a technological point of view!

Thanks Gerard. I think those of us running 3 screens at traditional, at least for a long time mainstream resolution will not understand the logic of this card running only one HDMI and not just a single DP instead.
Correct me if im wrong but the point in the DP is to run 4k through that one port to a single screen. Will this card actually be able to run basically 12k through 3 screens? If not would not it have been better to just have a single 4k output and all the others the usual DVI, HDMI ect ?

I hope we're not using VR!

The scientists claim its 50/50 so flip a coin!
Should have been clearer. I hope we WONT be using VR any time soon!
The Fury X seems to be the best card to date to have in 3 or 4 way crossfire due to not having any fans to worry about blocking. Really liking that fact.
The price will make it the most expensive card to go 3 or 4 way with (since the 295x2 at launch). Also the mounting of the fans may be an issue for those that didn't plan ahead and buy a massive case!
Of course if performance is so good, there may not be any need for 3 or 4 way!
Really Neat Looking Card
If I edit out your links as they are hotlinked, do not place the same link back in.
it's from PCGamesHardware reported on Videocardz more photos in this link, but mounted Fury looks EPIC, definitely my next card.
beside with the swappable front, i wanna see how ppl will custumize it with 3D printed ones, really hope this card delivers on perf and overclocking capabilities.

Was hoping we'd hear more about aircooled models by now, get the feeling if you want to custom wcool at launch you'll need to take off the scary newfangled liquid stuff. Would feel much better stripping down a regular copper HSF assembly like I've done a dozen times already.
