My R9 XFX Fury X review

Here is my 290x reference no overclock and 3770k @4.5ghz ultra bench of Dirt Rally

Nice review Gregster.

When you got time to play, could you test some game like Batman or project cars by switching "Enable unified GPU usage monitoring" from MSI Afterburner. Your gpu usages on videos show extremely high usages on fury in videos. Where it doesn't match Anandtechs review at all where they are hitting easily cpu bound situations. I was just wondering if this could be the reason.

Nm, your Thief benchmarks shows heavy cpu bottlenecking, so I quess it's showing right usages.

Was actually really nicely done dude, have subbed and liked it too :p (I never usually like videos so feel honored). I watch a lot of tech youtubers, like JayzTwoCents and LinusTechTips for examples and they are professional creators, and it was on par with them IMO!
 
This is what AMD should have done in their presentation for Fury.
Its a smooth great experience owning the card.
Looking forward the Fury 2 even more now dxxn you gregster dxxn you :D
 
Wow! Thanks so much guys for the kind words and it really is appreciated. I don't believe in doing scripted and tell it like it is.

You guys have made my day :)
 
You mentioned you wanted the MSI version but its not available until the 10th ? does that apply to OCUK too ? i was hoping to get mine in the next few days

Not sure bud but send OcUK a message in customer services and they will let you know.

Mate, I fired up SoM at 1080P and thought "this will hurt it" but nope, so just out of interest, I fired it up at 1440P and was having a bit of a Doctor Evil laugh whilst as it was loading but again, no problem. :D

Guys, truly humbled by the kind words. Nice to see some people enjoyed it :)

One reason of many I dislike benchreviews are due to it wont tell me how good experience I be having when I have the card in my machine.

This review does.:)

Sounds like the 4GBs gona be fine :D
 
Good review tbh, I liked the style, the endless graphs bore me, so this card beats that card by 2fps in this game at that setting - who cares? only the fanbois.

Basically anyone who has half a clue knows that cards with similar specs in most games are going trade blows and performance would be reasonably close.
Tell me what the gaming experience is like? is it quiet? will I have a free oven under my desk?

Good job Gregster.

PS - You did deal with HBW memory thing that had me perplexed - seems it's a excellent innovation.
 
Good video mate. So close to ordering one of these or a 390x but iv decided to wait til the air cooled fury arrives before I buy anything.
