Fury X still OK?

[FredFlint]

Activate HBCC if still an option on the drivers, as it was few years ago.
FuryX supports memory compression, you shouldn't have issues tbh except on really horribly optimized games.
Also make sure it has the UEFI bios not the original one. It would improve performance and overclocking.

Don't think the Fury X supports HBCC, think that's Vega cards. I did update the BIOS to the UEFI one. Most game ran really well, RDR2, Borderlands 3 and lots of others, its still a very usable card, just felt like upgrading. Diablo 3 runs much better on the Fury X than a 5700XT, probably a driver thing as its an old game.

The seller who is local to myself refused to show me it working as he didn't want to reinstall it.

I asked him if he mind delivering it me, and I'd install and test it while he was here, he declined.

Now he wants to put it on eBay as he thinks he'll get more for it!

Oh well, never mind

As much as I liked Fury/Fury X I'd say your better off waiting/adding to your budget and getting something else. Armageus is suggestion is probably best. My suggestion would be wait to see what occurs with RX 5600 XT release, perhaps some shifting on GPU prices may occur and or perhaps it maybe within your budget.

Yep Vega thing.

Fury X = 4gb of VRAM

I have four of them and would never consider selling as they are just not up to running modern games.

Price/performance seems like the current OCuk deal of PowerColor RX 590 @ £155 with choice of a game + 3mths Xbox pass is a decent buy. I reckon you could recoup ~£75+ from R9 390X sale, adding only ~£80 to upgrade.

4GB Vram is a huge limiter IMO. Better to get a more modern card.

Thanks all for the info. I'll do some research and see what I should get.
I don't mind spending some money if it'll last a few years

Bullet dodged IMO. And in any case you don't want to be buying anything with less than 8GB of VRAM these days.
