**AMD Fiji Thread**

[Ferrari100]

I thought Vulkan was literally a fork of Mantle. I could quite easily be wrong, though.

Mantle evolved in Vulkan. Thats a good thing!

Thinking about it, id have it blowing out the bottom, and its sitting on a pretty thick carpet, so i think ill just take the 120mm fan from the rear, and mount it there, be on the safe side

Reviews will reveal if stock Fury X is faster, or trades blows with stock 980Ti. Remember Custom cooled 980Ti cards are faster than stock. I would assume (maybe wrongly) that AIBs can customise their Fury X cards with custom PCBs, higher stock clocks and even better AOI coolers.

Interesting times ahead for both Nvidia and AMD.

I don't think they can change them, ala the TX.

Well, if I recall correctly the fury is slower than the fury X, but there will only be one design for the fury X.

This is why some tricks will be needed from ATI.

I'm directly comparing it against the 980-ti because I'm sitting on the edge of a full new build & it's between SLI 980-ti & Cross-fire Fury X. Deep down I want the Fury X to edge ahead because I do like AMD, but if the performance of the 980-ti (G1) is noticeably better then I'd have to go that route.

As mentioned earlier, it all relies on unlocking the voltages & what the Fury-X can handle. It touted as being an over-clockers dream. The question is, was that marketing BS or are they waiting with an ace to reveal soon to knock it ahead.

The framework of the incredible cooling & high power capacity is there, it's down to the chips resilience, ATI's lock down & the silicon lottery.

Guys. I've a 780T case, with a Corsair H105 in the roof, the radiator of that occupies 2 120mm fan positions leaving room for a 120mm fan as shown below

Would it be a good or bad idea to put the FuryX radiator and fan to the right of the H105 in the roof so all my rads would be at the top? see below, it's really cool up in that corner just above the DVD Drive.

stick it where the back fan is ???

Refining as in getting better yields. If they can't do that then did Nvidia intentionally release the 980 at lower speeds to milk the buyers before releasing the 980ti? They are on the same process after all..

edit: Maybe AMD have released the FuryX at an intentional lower speed to match the top end Nvidia cards for now and then release a superclocked Fury later on to deliver a killer blow...Interesting.

The 980 is a completely different chip GM204, to the 980ti GM200

Pretty sure its just a case the likes of afterburner havent caught up yet.

Wasnt Afterburner not working with Titan x voltage until first day of sale?

This. Put it in the back.

 

[Bonjour]

If looking to go SLi or crossfire, I'd look for a reference design if not planning on water.

It can get a little toasty otherwise.

you mean like the fiji pro and fiji xt ? It's a maxwell core so a number in the naming scheme is not gonna change that

 

[toodoo9011]

Lets say the benchmarks are real for a moment.what will the performance difference be between fury x crossfire and fury x2 ...i want to justify for waiting for the next top amd card . I know it will have double the vram but what else?

 

[IT Troll]

My home machine is 1080P and the games I play hardly tax such cards.

You need to get that sorted. If only there was somewhere you could go to get something with more pixels.

Guys. I've a 780T case, with a Corsair H105 in the roof, the radiator of that occupies 2 120mm fan positions leaving room for a 120mm fan as shown below

I have the case and am running a triple rad in the roof (custom loop) - it might fit but it does depend upon how much if any overhang the existing + the new rad has (i.e. they may not fit nicely next to each other).
Even if it does fit what quality of air supply will the fan/rad nearest the front of the case have - if you are running a dvd/bluray , it does act as a bit of an airflow block.

You could always use :-

The rear 120/140 mount

One of the 2 front 120/140 mounts

(n.b I am using all of the above with 140 fans so cannot say for sure that the mounts for 120 are in situ but am confident that they are)

If you remove the drive cage it leaves enough space for , up to, a 240 rad with fans.( I have removed mine as I now only run ssd's - with a larger external hd added when wanted) - Airflow is therefore uninterrupted - and have a single rad with 120 fan pushing air out of the case)

Hi, currently there is nobody here that would be able to answer that for you. The specification for the Fury X2 are currently an unknown, it could possibly be lacking the same shader count as the Fury X or be limited by TDP. Also Fury x2 will very likely be limited to 4GB HBM per core as are all Fiji products. VRAM does not scale with Crossfire.

Im sure someone else can answer it better than you have.

Could you not remove the Drive cages and find somewhere else to mount the mechanical HDD like at the rear of the case, leaving you ample room at the front to mount the Fury X cooler or even two in crossfire?

Hi,

About a product that's not yet even come to market or even close with unknown specs? Not sure where you are failing to understand that, but ok.

This do what I did and mount 3.5 to 5.25 converters all my hard drive are mounted inside the 5.25 bays.

 

[Boomstick777]

Hopefully someone here can answer this, can the fan be switched on the radiator? Read some things saying that fan has some kind of groove so may only fit one way?

If can switch fan around could use as intake like in pic below. I'm using CM 690 III case. With front HDD cages removed.

Top and rear are occupied by H105 and single 120mm fan, radiator wouldn't fit as it H105 takes up some space. Single 120mm fits fine though.

Only other option would be exhaust at bottom of the case, with little room under the case for fan to push the air out of, would this work?

Do you mean to say fury x2 will not be 8gb but rather a measly 4gb ??????? This was not the case with 295x2.
