Official OcUK Fury X Review Thread

2 things put me off, pretty average figures in benches, and ocuk blatant price milking when cards where £100 to £150 cheaper at other etailers...im in no rush actually, will look to see what happens with drivers the next few months...all kinda meh really

Well that was anticlimactic.

So the posint of HBM is...smaller cards.

I'll probably get slated for this but the first thing that comes to my mind is that we're at a point now where Nvidia with GDDR5 > AMD with HBM... and with a lower power draw (supposedly the main advantage of HBM). Crazy stuff.

AMD need to lower the price of these cards ASAP.

Pretty underwhelming. Amd should drop the price on this straight away or they need a performance driver to bring it in line with the gtx980ti. Maybe Voltage control can save the day.

why would anyone spend 650 on this card?

Wow I really expected this to beat the 980 Ti.

At least match it more consistently.

RRP is meant to be around £500 and only mad people would spend £650 on this!

Lower than £509 a card?

MMMhmmmm no.

Overall a decent little card, loosing out to a tx with a 980ti just edging it, driver improvements should see it comfortably trade blows with the Ti. Looks to be priced accordingly too.

Only read the hexus review so far, surprised to see they only managed an extra 90mhz out of the core!

Given the GPU on the Fury is 5cmx5cm, I'd imagine yield is an issue which would make price drops unlikely.

And why is it not avaible for reviewers to try out?

Because AMD have no confidence in its OC ability and or don't want to risk hardware failure.

I'd pay maybe £299 for one..................actually nah I wouldn't lol if I won 4 of them I'd get shot quickly.
