Poll: Fury X Owners. Would you buy the Fury X again if you could do it all over again?

[Howling]

Depends on the question.
Would I buy the Fury X again back when I bought them? Yes.
Would I buy the Fury X now? No.
So i dunno what to vote tbh

 

[LoadsaMoney]

I wouldn't, bought about 4, and returned them all due to EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEing like a bitch.

I agree with this and voted Yes.

If I had the choice of buying another one now I wouldn't but only because of the imminent arrival of Polaris/Pascal. Anyone who buys any top of the range card right now is either bonkers or just rich enough not to have to care about it.

I may be a bit bonkers, but I'm definitely not rich enough.

Cant wait for new CPUs, GPUs and VR from all parties concerned.

Yes, sold a 980Ti, went to lesser cards then bought the Fury X to try it out. I'd definitely buy another, if crossfire worked and new cards weren't on the horizon

I love it being an AIO cooled card, it's silent, I love it and works great in my ITX case.

Luckily mine has no whine, thought it did but was my CPU AIO

Good news Sam!! Let's hope Crossfire issues are mainly sorted when DX12 comes along

Did you own a Fury X?

 

[r7slayer]

Didn't own one and still don't plan on getting one. From what i can tell the performance increase going from my nicley overclocked 290x to a fury x isn't a massive leap tbh. And the price was quite and still is quite high. Personally im waiting for next gen to hopefully see better gains!
It's all about those gains!! BEAST MODE! sorry


FYI not voted either.

I told you i didn't hear anything from it!

In regards to the OP's question, in all honestly, no, i'd not buy another Fury X, but not because it's a poor card, it's a beast in all the games i tried, but the issues i had with crossfire, Extremely buggy AMD drivers and the total BS AMD gave about it.

Since moving to a single X @1440P with Freesync it's been much better, although the chances are i'll be going Green for the next round.

To this day the best card i've used has been the 980 Sc's i had, just the whole package (Shadowplay etc) was very impressive.

I loved my eVGA 980's (ACX 2.0) tbh. Coming from a 295x2 it was a MUCH better overall experience, something that benchmarks don't always tell you

Really? I found when I went nVidia the drivers were always a pain, shadowplay never worked, constant updates, driver crashes. Whilst the AMD side looks pretty bad I rarely look at it and it just does what it needs to. They both have their flaws and the only nvidia card i've had was the 980Ti. Maybe I was just unlucky.

Either way, no brand loyalty here, i'll buy whatever is best or I fancy trying!

I was rather ****ed off with Crossfire issues at the time, and gaming seemed to be so much better overall for me.

I'd had AMD/ATi cards in the majority tbh up until recently, and I'll be giving them another shot in 9 months or so once the big boy comes out

The ~OPs question is not would you buy another one to go with the one you have for CF the question has nothing to do with CF or owning 2 cards.

The question is having owned one and with the experience you have had with it in hindsight would you of still bought it knowing what you know now.
Its a simple and common question.

 

[Final8y]

My methodical testing stunned me. Sure my TX is an EVGA SC but it kinda ripped the FX a new one

Sorry but your definitions of methodical is clearly very different from mine.
The glaring image rendering differences should have not needed to be pointed out to you by others, it does not matter that it was the NVCPs options setting fault, that fact that you didn't notice the rendering difference is your fault so i have no faith in your testing, it stunned me that you didn't notice.

If i let anything like that slip through at work they would have me up in the office in no time.

 

[Scougar]

TBH... that's a bit pants as anyone can vote, even if they don't own the card.

+1

It is interesting using a custom waterblock(s) on the Fury X as they run a fair bit cooler than NVidia cards and seldom get above 35c. Even the GTX 980 which uses a lot less power runs hotter.

 

[FuryXGuy]

Would the OP like a forum pole as Cat suggested, If so I shall request one.

Sure. That would be great! I was originally going to create a poll on the forum here but didn't know you could do that (at least for a regular user like me).

So go ahead!

To make it a bit more interesting perhaps you could include regular Fury owners and not just Fury X owners.
So, something like: Fury and Fury X owners. If you could do it all over again, would you buy the Fury or Fury X if you could?

Yes this exactly.

As for me. I got it $60 - $70 cheaper than the 980 Ti. That's the main reason. I get comparable performance as the 980 Ti and slightly better performance at 4K. Plus, the fact that it's liquid cooled was a nice addition.

I will say that you kind of have to see it in real life to appreciate the card from a looks point of view. With the Radeon logo lighting up and with red LED's lighting up showing the load of the GPU was a nice touch. Especially if you have a see through case.

It's definitely the best looking card I own. The pictures don't due it justice.

 

[nashathedog]

to me AMD made few mistake during Fury's launch, launching fury X before fury with drivers not ready, when basicaly both cards performed the same.( launching fury before furyX would'v been better)
one other thing that bothers me after release, why is AMD acting so stupid, by forcing other manufacturers to use coolers too big for the PCB of the fury, or plainly not allowing costume FuryX or Nano, yes we got it AMD managed a small factor GPU, that doesnt mean you have to force ppl to buy a product with an average cooler (yes they are not bad, but they are not great either), this kind of behavior i would have expect it from a competitor but not from AMD, it's so out of character, i hope they change this.

What would have been better is allowing us to buy cards like the Fury Tri-x with the full chip rather than a cut down one. I waited ages to replace the terrible non-reference 290x I had and when the Fury finally released you couldn't get one that was not faulty, Over a month later it was no different so I ended up with an air cooled card that did not have the chip I really wanted.

At the end of the day I could have bought a non reference 980 more than 6 months earlier and got the same performance overall. It's all been a very disappointing experience with AMD and that's been two in a row.

Can I ask what resolution you game at? I only ask because your experience of 290X/Fury and now 980 relative performance is totally different to mine. I game at 4K and the 290X and 980 I owned come nowhere near the same performance as my Fury.

Neither the 290X or the 980 (even when overclocked) were playable at the same settings I can get ~40 FPS+ on my OC Fury at 4K.

Thanks. Good job I only do it for fun and no monetary gain otherwise I might get lambasted!
