****Official OcUK Fury X Review Thread****
- Thread starter CAT-THE-FIFTH
- Start date
The prices of 650 has nothing to do with AMD. That's ocuk. And its worked.... As they've sold out.
As it stands the "normal" preorder price is 40 less than expected...
Re: performance. Some reviews are showing performance much lower than the others. The plurality show it slower than 980Ti at 1920x1080, trading blows at 2560x1440 and faster in most cases at 4K.
Given the fact that driver optimisation for HBM and the completely new memory controller is still early, I'd say this bodes quite well. If Fiji only gets half of Hawaii's performance uplift over the course of its lifetime (even excluding the adapted 15.15 driver / Grenada), it will end up much faster than the Titan X by the time Arctic Islands roll around in a year's time.
Something to note is not a single review has conducted a single DX12 test (overhead / draw calls etc) or compute bench. I assume NVIDIA have begun actively embargoing compute result tests / comparisons for their cards now, rather than just discouraging it.
Only real disappointment is pump whine, but two of the reviews state that AMD say it's fixed in a later hardware revision which all the consumer units will be. Oh, and the lack of HDMI2.0, but we knew that already.

Its going to be like Xfire, instead of waiting 6 months + for profiles, you're going to have to wait 6 months + for them to tune the games for their memory.
EDIT: Thats now on top, so its a wait for profiles, and a wait for tuning.

I don't like the way TPU are showing additional average performance figures without WoW/PC (games that favour Nvidia) that's pretty shoddy/biased reviewing. They should have balanced it by also removing the scores for Batman/Metro (which penalise Nvidia).
Was quite surprised really as I have always liked TPU
Well they didn't omit it from the ref perf summary and also made the point to highlight an issue which is actually admirable. If you don't like the removal of anomalies/outliers like that in analysis and presentation, you will be absolutely disgusted with the way scientific research is conducted.
IMO you can, safely and in good conscience, still like them if you want.

All this fuss about the lack of HDMI 2.0, unless your one of the 0.1% of people that game at 4k and have a monitor/TV that can handle 4k at 60hz, enough already it is a feature that many don't even care about.

Anandtech not even up yet lmao! Place has gone seriously downhill since Anand cashed in...
Not as though I blame him

// For readers expecting the AMD Fury X review, unfortunately Ryan has been battling a virus this week and despite his best efforts it has taken its toll. The review is near completion but with a couple of key elements still to do - please keep your eyes peeled over the next few days for the full analysis.
Look on the bright side: the price might have come down by then.

So glad I jumped on that Zotac 980Ti. I would have been gutted to wait, pay £150 more for a card that competes with the 980. I am genuinely sad though as I wanted AMD to do well and get back to a competitive stance with Nvidia and Intel and keep prices down. Looks like that isn't happening now. Please 16nm be good and give some decent crads from both AMD and Nvidia.

Oh dear so wanted this to be good, looks like it's either the 980ti and Gsync or just a new Freesync screen and hold onto my 290 for now.
Much disappoint

This sums it up
Hardcop's Bottom Line
"Limited VRAM for a flagship $649 video card, sub-par gaming performance for the price,
and limited display support options with no HDMI 2.0 and no DVI port.
To be honest, we aren't entirely sure who the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X is really built for?"

Its a fuss because its at odds with the nano x. If you are marketing a powerful GC for use in small form pc's for the living room, then it makes more than sense to include hdmi 2.0 in your specs.
You only paid £359 for your Zotac 980ti?
Wow where from, i'll be on that like a shot!#REKT
They'll struggle getting future review samples from AMD after that!
Probably, they shouldn't be penalised for being honest though.
Installed yours yet?
And now where does anybody know that the nano might not come with hdmi 2.0.......................
It probably won't but thats not the card we are reviewing today.

There might be no AMD left to actually get samples from at their current rate of decline...
Yeah, I just read the TR & HOCP review and then read the GURU3D Review.
If I was going to buy a card I would be totally confused by now as the Guru3D review has a lot more data and is generally more of a positive picture.
As we saw with the 7970 release, due to drivers, the performance of the Fury X may not be seen for at least 6 months.
I would wait until OCUK forum members have hold of them (and the subsequent voltage controls).
