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

Yeah that's largely being ignored though lol.

Looks a cracking lil card. Will put it head to head with my Titan X soon.

It is good at 4k, we know that. Trouble is, that is a very small percentage of the market.

On an unrelated note. Will there be no non reference or factory overclocked Fury's? I cannot see any in the Overclocker's product page.
 
Based on what, a wing and a prayer :D

Based on Mantle being entirely about parallelisation, individual workloads for shader units, throughput, and almost removing CPU overhead entirely (for all intents and purposes) at higher resolutions in most games.

Mantle heavily influenced both the conception and production of DX12 and forms much of the code base of Vulkan.

Until Pascal, NVIDIA don't have a GPU architecture that is designed for the above, and their drivers (to their credit) had less CPU overhead than AMD in previous DX versions.

It's not pie in the sky. Fiji (and GCN generally) are a vastly better fit for the new APIs than anything NVIDIA have.
 
Pledge couldn't mak this bugger shine.

:D


To be fair, I think this is a good card, just not as powerful as I thought it would be. It's the look of it I don't like that much, though I applaud them for their innovation and the smaller size of the card. Noise and power consumption looks to be fine, too.
 
Yeah same here, another good review for it that, but at the minute its all, reviews having it equalling the Ti, reviews having it getting smashed off the Ti, and even getting beat of the 980.

But even at 1440p it appears competitive against the 980ti and Titan X, depending on where you look.

All hail Kaapstad and BoomStick!. We'll find out soon and they both have Titan-x to compare.
 
Looks like I'll be keeping my 295x2 and 290x's me thinks. Nice card, not as powerful as I hoped and the omission of HDMI 2.0 is a joke... as is DVI... these to me, will stop certain people buying... for one... me.

I was gona spend over a grand on one, as was going to get a new monitor to go with it! LOL
 

lol no really
oc3d say its no faster than a 980 but still give it gold
which i dont understand
then other reviews say its as fast as a TI but dont rate it so high
there's more drama on the way my nose is itchy
means more drama!
 
I think if you have the case for it, and the money for a few of them, the Fury X will clearly be a good multi gpu solution for 4k.

Instead, the Radeon R9 Fury X delivers performance surreally similar to Nvidia’s 980 Ti. Sure, the GM200-based board tends to finish ahead at 2560x1440, while the Fury’s massive memory bandwidth gives it the advantage at 3840x2160. In either case, though, you’d have a tough time telling the two cards apart.

Well there must be something about these cards that AMD feel they warrent the price tag.

Maybe the memory bus or something will come good (like the FX CPU) once DX12 drops...

If not, then AMD have not a scooby do what their doing.

I don't know, most reviews I have read put it between the 980 and 980Ti at 1080p. Then at 1440p it starts to catch /match the 980Ti and then at 4k it starts to match or even beat the Titan X.

Cool story

He gives most things gold or performance awards.
