fury x or wait for the fury x2?

[toodoo9011]

hi i am considering buy the fury x for hardcore 4k gaming.

should i buy 2 fury x's or should i wait till september for the fury x2 (dual gpu version)?

i thinking it would make sense to go for 2x seperate fury x's because it will come with 2 watercoolers so will run much cooler than a dual gpu card.

and if it breaks down only one card breaks.

does the fury x2 also come with microstutter as it wudve in crossfiring the furyx?

Ultra 4k gaming WITH fxaa or 4 msaa on coz i always notice a huge difference with them on and prefer to have em on.

To elaborate on Booms points - Bear in mind too that any crossfire issues will still exist with an X2 (dual gpu on one pcb) card.

So lack of crossfire profiles/ drivers and any microstutter issues, will still be present. I had an ATI 4870x2 a few moons ago.
If you have the case space and motherboard, I'd be more tempted to go for 2 separate cards. The performance is usually higher too, as they clock down the dual cards.

And before any AMD fanboys bite my head off too, it's exactly the same for SLI. Although at least Nvidia release **** drivers more regulalry

Really oh wow ..no point waiting in this case

the 24 of June it is then for review before decision made

Sure no rush ive been without a gf for 9 months now..

My mobo allows only single x16 pcie slot or two 8x slots.

My mobo
Has Expansion Slots
2 x PCIe 3.0/2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8)
1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x4 mode, black)
3 x PCIe x1

Its what happens when you start reading leaks on graphics card everyday and you end up never buying anything as your always waiting for the next gf

 

[toodoo9011]

But what about when they say that 2 graphics card doesnt mean your gonna get 100% extra performance but rather 75% extra performance.is this still gonna be the case with crossfire?

 

[toodoo9011]

Just saw the bench for metro last light for previous cards 290x xfire 26fps and 295x2 is 45fps....


Seems like the xfire disadvantage will always be there

 

[toodoo9011]

Looks like im gonna have to wait for the x2 card...coz you need 16x pcie lane.

 

[toodoo9011]

looks like im gonna have to wait unless i change my motherboard as its only got one x16 pcie lane or two x8 lanes.


since its hbm i think it will matter otherwise i wouldnt bother for gddr5

 

[toodoo9011]

flop this im just gonna get 2x fury (fan cooled version as i doubt it very much the water cooled version will make any difference,despite the rubbish watercoolers on it.)
