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

I would also like to know what your connection is with AMD and maybe the forum moderators should look into this as well.

This is now just petty squabbling. Take a break from this thread, it might be good for you.

It is not squabbling when what I am saying is correct !!!

Probably the first time i've ever read anyone say anything favourable about a TitanX in comparison to a 980Ti....
I've not a seen any benchmark where a good titan X beats a 980 Ti consistently in the majority of tests.

I use both GTX 980 Ti's and TitanXs and my 980 Ti's are very good indeed.

I also use Fury Xs so my comments about them does involve some hands on experience.

When you overclock both a Fury X and a 980 Ti to their max stable clockspeeds the NVidia card wins easy.

Another thing to remember is the reference 980 Ti is not a regular and typical card. Far more non reference 980 ti's are sold so they are more representative of the card.

I would also like to know what your connection is with AMD and maybe the forum moderators should look into this as well.

Certain 980 Ti OC has instability issues.

Besides, you can get better overclock with the Sapphire Trixx software now.
Remember AMD had locked down the HBM so people were not able to overclock. I for one don't understand why AMD didn't allow AIB partners to come up with their own custom boards with unlocked voltage and provide OC'ed Fury X's.

Just a theory but I think AMD was just testing the waters with HBM to make sure everything was stable before allowing AIB's to do their own high end version.

I hope we do see custom version of the top end Polaris boards

Fury X's also scale better than the Titan X's and even beat's Titan X SLI's when compared to a Fury X crossfire.

Regarding the furyx and the use of an AIO as a cooling solution. It would be interesting to see how one would run on a standard cooler. AIO coolers are very popular now for gpu's, either factory solutions or aftermarket such as the corsair bracket solutions. I currently own an msi gaming edition 980ti, a very quiet card that has actuallky been shown in some reviews to run quieter than a furyx. But, it does run hot on the stock fan setting, (75c) I prefer to use a custom 1-1 fan profie which keeps it sub 65c when gaming but still quiet.

Also, i suppose on the furyx rad you can swap out the stock fan/s for something of your own. And for anyone who has done so, i wouldnt mind hearing which fan/s you have opted for.

Instead of posting cherry picked and very dodgy third party graphs why don't you post some of your own results.

Use maximum settings as in the benchmark threads to remove CPU bottlenecks and see how you get on against people with TXs and GTX 980 Ti's.

The thing all your graphs overlook is TXs and GTX 980 Ti's are an overclockers dream.

A Fury X with a standard air cooler would be poor as the cards are very temperature sensitive.

With the AIO cooler the Fury X will clock higher than the air cooled Fury P. If you fit custom waterblocks to a Fury X it will overclock quite well on stock volts and reach around 1150mhz on the core. With a custom water block the Fury X runs around 38c which is quite impressive.

You really are clutching at straws.

I can write more and worse horror stories about my own Fury Xs if I wanted to but that would really be being petty as cards and PCs do get problems.

I also notice a number of your links refer to cards other than TXs and 980 Ti's and if you know much about GPUs you could see what their problems were.

As to overclocking Fury Xs TRIXX is rubbish if you have mixed cards from different AIB partners, AB is far better.

I just wanted to post some benchmarks. If you want a more average look at things then you can see here:

Anyone who knows about crossfire vs SLI knows that AMD scales better as they used XDMA.

No, it was just to show that Maxwell can't always hold 1200 stable but in general Maxwell does overclock well. Besides, I would like to post mine but I don't have much time but it is interesting to see what other have gotten with TriXX. Generally in the 1180 - 1210 core and 550 - 600 from what I have seen.

Stop quoting others and post some of your own.

Looking at some of the memory clocks you have quoted you don't seem to know how the memory on the Fury X works.

Anyone who has a Maxwell card that can not do 1200 would RMA it lol. My 980 Ti's can hold over 1500mhz all day on air in SLI.

Fortunately I have 4 each of the above cards and I know different to this graph you posted.

I tried running Shadow of Mordor this morning on a pair of GTX 980 Ti's and a pair of Fury Xs maxed @2160p and got reminded of something -

My GTX 980 Ti's managed 80fps stock and 90fps overclocked.

My Fury Xs managed 10fps stock and no point in overclocking. This was due to XDMA being an epic failure and the cards running out of memory.

Kaap, how is FX scaling if you don't overcommit memory? I know you like to do it, but just asking

It is normally very good but the problems come if it I not supported in the game.

At the moment both AMD and NVidia seem to be in some silly competition as to who offers the worst mGPU support. At the moment NVidia seem to be winning or should I say losing this by a small margin as they can not even get SLI right in TWIMTBP games.

If there are any games where you want to know what the FX scaling is like and they have built in benchmarks (and I own them) I will run them and post the results.

Not necessarily. A lot of people are happy with their stock 980 Ti's. I know a couple of them as it runs most games fine. It was to point out that not all Maxwell overclock well. It all depends on how well your ASIC is.

You do know that one game doesn't represent all FYI.

So, basically crossfire doesn't work on Shadow of Mordor?

I have a reference 980 Ti in my household with an ASIC of 65% that overclocks to 1480 on the core game and bench stable.

My Matrix 980 Ti is 78% and can do 1500, So not really that much faster.

ASIC is pointless to basic overclockers.
