**AMD Fiji Thread**

So what we can surmise about this card so far given the evidence available:

- Excellent and quiet cooling.
- Decent price when at MSRP
- Not quicker than a Gigabyte G1 980ti
- Average overclocker - probably no big surprises unless users can increase voltage.
- Stock probably slightly faster than a stock 980ti, but similar to most models with a modest factory overclock.

I don't think I'm disappointed, but seeing the review of the gigabyte G1 takes a bit of the shine off the Fury X in my opinion. The G1 is already like a 980 compared to a 970 in excess of the reference 980ti and only 80 quid more. Overclocked it's an entirely different animal. I hope there are one or two pleasant surprises still in store with the Fury X.

New tech HBM with Fury
DX12 built on codebase AMD developed with Mantle ensure perfect fusion between software and hardware on Fury for windows 10 greatness.
Smaller and cool and silent Fury.

Hot noisy 980ti draws lot of power making it a cringy product at best.
Cant say I am impressed with the 980ti as it seems disappointing at best.

Not to difficult to understand that the future belongs to AMD.:)
 
If the above is true and it's about even with a stock 980Ti but struggles to OC, then I'll probably be going Nvidia. If the Fury was 549 or less, then i'd buy it. But knowing it will likely be around £649 on launch, I can't think of many reasons not to buy a pre overclocked 980Ti.

If it's on par with a 980Ti, and the same post-gouge price (£549), then the fact that it's pretty much silent running, with £75+ worth of AIO, would swing it for me.

Oh, and yeh, it just looks soooo much better aesthetically!

Wait and see, only 2 days to go.
 
Surely it's unwise to operate under the assumpton that the Fury X can NEVER be overlocked, as some people seem to be doing here? It's brand new tech, so I can understand AMD being cautious out the gate, but they did say it was an "overclockers dream", so I am certain they have tested it in-house and know what it's capable of. In time and with updated drivers etc. it's surely inevitable people will be getting very healthy OC's out of these cards.

At the end of the day, it just strikes me as a far more interesting and exciting card than the 980Ti... which seems a bit 'meh' to me.
 
Wow, the two most used quotes on the web at the moment are as follows

"From AMD Rep.

"Fury you can't clock the memory full stop and on stock voltage Fury does not clock well at all."

Also EVGA got a headsup, from same person.

"Only cards I can see beating that this year are also Maxwell such as KingPin, HOF etc.""

:D Looks like every Nvidia pro site are just quoting these two is isolation

I've seen so many comments that this is the death of AMD now ;)

I do not like these website who quote just segments of what I say to bend the truth.

I am not an AMD Rep or a NVIDIA rep, I work for OcUK. Fury is very early stage with voltage and new drivers it could batter Maxwell, it is way to early to know yet.


Now I wait for some website to just quote the part where I say batters Maxwell.

Selective quoting infuriates me, quote the truth in full or not at all, scumbags.
 
Yeah its kinda funny that if it beats a 980Ti or a TX than the comparison swings to the highest boosting top of the top custom 980Ti...now that is the one the Fury needs to beat.
OFC it needs to beat it a stock. :)
 
AMD may well let you overclock it in the future, which will be great for anyone that owns the card.

I will be making a decision on Wednesday, what could be possible in the future won't really concern me, my decision will be based on tangible positives and negatives on the day of purchase.
