****Official OcUK Fury X Review Thread****

We were saying weeks ago that the TI was gonna beat 390X ( as it was called back then) the mistake AMD made was to NOT RELEASE the Fury X when the Titan X was in short supply for so long...... it was out of stock for bloody weeks on end :mad:

the only way out of this now is for AMD to drop its prices and extremely quick too, which is something that they're not good at ( 290X vs the GTX 970)

What also doesn't fill me with confidence is this :-

Note that HBM and GDDR5 memory sized can’t be directly compared. Think of it like comparing an SSD’s capacity to a mechanical hard drive’s capacity. As long as both capacities are sufficient to hold local data sets, much higher performance can be achieved with HBM, and AMD is hand tuning games to ensure that 4GB will not hold back Fiji’s performance. Note that the graphics driver controls memory allocation, so its incorrect to assume that Game X needs Memory Y. Memory compression, buffer allocations, and caching architectures all impact a game’s memory footprint, and we are tuning to ensure 4GB will always be sufficient for 4K gaming. Main point being that HBM can be thought of as a giant embedded cache, and is not directly comparable to GDDR5 sizes.

They've been struggling with drivers since last October.

I wouldn't go backwards to a 290X, save your money and get the Fury X2 Dual card instead...........because that's the card to get anyway :eek::eek: even if the Fury X was fast !
 
LOL AMD and OcUK. What a utter joke of a price for release. The card itself is pretty impressive, performance is about where I would have expected, behind the 980Ti but the price is utter madness. A standard GTX980 can be had for £350 and now a 980Ti for £509.99. Why you would choose the Fury X for £650 over the Ti I have no idea. I guess as long as there are people who will buy it they can get away with it.
