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

Its brand new technology, drivers could release more performance for sure, how much who knows.

But there is no over-volt tool yet, this will also help with overclocking vastly potential, if such a tool ever becomes available.

Lets see how Fury is performing overclocked in a months time when hopefully such a tool exist and drivers have matured a little. :)

If Amd can get big tonga fixed in time of the Nano release, then i'll be looking at again. Fury is performing as expected in some areas and badly in other areas.
But there are far too many negatives about this launch which I don't need to repeat.

Unless they can drop the prices, I really don't see how any of their new line up is going to sell to be quite honest.

All the cards below the 390X are cheaper and faster than NVIDIA's offerings - much faster in some cases. 390X if you exclude outliers like Project Cars / CoD / WoW competes directly with 980 in all but power consumption.

Halo product is slightly slower, but offers much smaller form factor and a design that'll appeal to a lot of people. The Fury and Fury Nano will fill more price points or market positions that NVIDIA doesn't currently inhabit and probably won't (definitely won't in case of Nano).

The next iteration of drivers, is likely to offer massive performance uplift across the board (including Fury), unless something goes horribly wrong between the leaked drivers and beta / whql.

I doubt Maxwell will be competitive with Fiji in DX12 or Vulkan.

Compute is mostly appalling on Maxwell (hence why you don't see it in any reviews). A lot more customers for halo products do rendering or video editing than graphics card buyers as a whole.

In my view the biggest problem is still the HDMI2.0 omission (at least for the Nano). Second biggest problem is the prospect of more GameWorks crippleware laden titles, though worst case scenarios like Project Cars may actually alienate more people from NVIDIA.

This entire launch has been fail from the get go, Rebrandeon 3xx series which are hardly any better than their predecessors and now the flagship gpu which is hardly better than the 3xx cards

On top of that they boast about 8gb on the 3xx and how future proof for 4k it is then release their halo card with 4gb?? Keep the reviews under wraps until they are ready to sell the products and now we know why..

So many people tried to hold out for this card and went with the 980ti, which now looks to be the best single gpu on the planet, and those that did wait are either jumping ship to Nvidia now or hedging their bets on this underwhelming card

I'm not a fan of the AIO either, but the Fury non X version which will be air cooled and probably lower clocked than the FuryX is going to be even worse than this card, will it even better the 390x???

I think AMD need to explain themselves as this is a joke right now, they have a halo product priced higher than the competition that does not compete with the competition at stock in most areas and ontop of that is locked down from most overclocking options, which is laughable as it was stated as an Overclockers dream, has the cooling to cope etc

Right now I'm puzzled wtf is going on at AMD? Surely the out wait can't have been just for this underwhelming effort? Surely AMD have some secret sauce up their sleeves ready to deliver and unlock this cards full potential right?

Seems everything AMD do is flawed, Freesync on rubbish ranges, stock blowers that could get work in a hair salon and now new tech that leaves people scratching their heads as to the actual point of it?

Unimpressed of Rochester
 
Is AMD's excuse for everything "Wait for Drivers?"

You'd think for a flagship product launch they would have released a mature set of drivers otherwise what is the point on buying the card on release?

Indeed...this is nothing but fail by amd...late to the party with a card that's slower than the ti and a rebadged 290 series

Down clock a 390x to 290 x speeds and what do you get?

390 offers nothing over previous gen that's as old as the hills...

Extremely disappointing.

AMD's future now completely hinges on their Zen CPU's - if they turn out to be another Bulldozer, they really will die this time around, or be acquired by Samsung (and loose the X86 license).

All hail NVIDIA - now we can expect £600-1000 GPU's every 6 months, with 5% more performance.

Or worse if Intel acquires AMD's graphics division... No more PCI-E slots.... Integrated graphics for everyone!!!!!!!!!!
 
** quote removed **

Except if you go to the Guru3D forum, you will see that june 8th 200.1040 drivers give a decent performance boost over 15.6 and 15.15 ones.

Quite a few people are seeing a decent 5 - 20% uplift in performance across the board, especially in min and avg fps.

Hinging the performance of the fury on drivers is lame...it's a crap card for the money

Never Settle drivers?. Before those lovely drivers arrived, the GTX680 was king and then with one driver it was removed and quite considerably too.

I know, it's not always the case and to hope on that anomaly, it's quite a stretch to think the same will happen again but, you can't rule it out completely.
 
We heard the same spiel with the 2900xt "oh its held back by drivers, wait for them to fix it" then wait some more....and some more....then your new card is replaced by another series.

Theres no way amd would have launched this card if the drivers weren't up to snuff and giving a good representation of what it can do. We just have to face the facts that its not the performer we expected.

Interesting to note that pre-order prices on ocuk have dropped on a few models from £649 to £599.

Yeah the 7970 smacked the 680 into next year with that driver. So may happen again..
 
Thing is banking on drivers is amateur at best especially when the drivers aren't released with the card. AMD have had long enough to get the drivers ready if they offer some magical 20% performance increase, now the damage is done and people like myself are already pricing up 980ti and Gsync options instead, which means I'm locked into Nvidia for the next 3-5 years really, that means I will only buy Nvidia cards for the next few years, and I bet I'm not the only person going this route, normally I only buy AMD, this is what will cost them the most, their fanbase switching sides not for just 1 gpu but for many as they lock themselves into the competitors hardware
 
i think gibbo was just saying wait before you dam its performance
not wait to buy or anything, he wouldnt say that lol

drivers and overclocking could see 20%? more?
*shrug*
