Id be very surprised if the voltage couldn't be unlocked, after they were claiming it to be an OC's dream, it is AMD though

Well at 40-50C stock temp i can imagine it can take a fair bit of voltage to OC.
My friends 290X with an AIO cooler runs 1.3V 24/7 no problem with good temps.
The "bad overclocker" hawaii could easily pick up +20% OC with + voltage

G1 is faster than pretty much anything, it is no regular 980Ti with such high boost clocks out the box and also cost more than other 980Ti's.
However bear this in mind Maxwell drivers are far more mature as Maxwell has being around for nearly a year.
Figi drivers are still very early so a driver update from AMD could transform performance, I am using 15.15B9 driver with Fury X.
What I like about Fury the most, it runs so cool it's crazy, sub 40c at all times, complete silence and it looks absolutely awesome, also zero coil whine as well.
But yes the card is very cool, so I can't see why voltage won't become unlocked unless of course core voltage could potentially damage the HBM, but I doubt that.

I don't think so..as they said overclockers dream i think they will enable voltage control.
Nice one, looking more like I'll just stick with Titan X until a die shrink.
This is appealing though, sub 40c while gaming. That is pretty epic.
So no surprises with the Fury X beating overclocked 980tis then
To be fair, it's the AIO that's one of the most appealing features of the card.

Silence of fan and no coil whine makes it very appealing to me, the MSI Gaming 970 i had before i returned it was very quiet fan wise, but the coil whine was noticeable.

Checking the 980Ti OC reviews if the Fury is indeed at Ti/TX performance, then it needs to pick up about 20% OC to run head to head with OCd 980Ti cards. Thats quiet possible with the AIO...as Gibbo said the question is the HBM...but i think (hopefully) it could take 70-80C as all memory ICs...

All this doesn't sound promising as to the performance of the fury x tbh, at this rate I'll just order two G1's.

Take away the slight salt pinch from AMD's marketing results and it makes sense that it would clash heads with a regular 980Ti.
It is a little disappointing none the less, would be awesome if it was a clear winner.
Don't forget Hawaii was voltage locked for the most part at launch, the third party tools need time to add the voltage regulator as it's completely new. Only GPU Tweak from ASUS had this available at launch with their BIOS.

Be interesting to see what drivers early reviews use,id imagine ones gibbo used would likely be pretty close,suppose we'll have to wait and see about voltage now,perhaps hbm being in such close proximity to the chip might not turn out such a great move?no idea really,but we'll see soon enough,without breaking nda it's good to at least get some info from someone with early impressions.
Seriously? Ever hear of the silicon lottery?

Not long to wait now for reviews, so if I was you id just hold out for a bit mate.

If the reviews on Wednesday state the card can't currently be overclocked and it therefore doesn't match, for example, the G1 then I can't see why I, personally, would buy this over a G1. The AIO does make it attractive due to the low temperatures but an EVGA hybrid has an AIO as well.
I don't want to be buying hardware where we "may" be able to overclock it in future or where we definitely will be able to but we have no indication as to how many months later that is. I understand it can be like this for new technology at launch though and perhaps if reviews give me enough to think about on that point I'll change my mind.
So all in all, I still don't know what I'm doing until Wednesday

So the Ti is faster than the Fury X and cheaper. This doesn't sound good for AMD

I don't get it why ppl are already stating that fury is doomed, OC 980Ti is king.
On TPU the G1 is about 10% faster than a stock TX, and around 20% faster with 1500mhz OC.
Those are far from groundbreaking uncatchable performance upgrades. I think with the AIO the Fury could do 10-20% OC as well.
Also keep in mind that it still needs its own optimized drivers.

No, the OC Ti might be faster than a stock Fury...hardly the same
