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

[pmc25]

Well it might, I mean Nvidia have an extra year to make sure it works compared to the competition. Plus to be fair if they release something even 10% faster they win because they already won.

AMD have been on a parallelisation / independent shader units / throughput minded architecture for years now (GCN). They also designed HBM with SK Hynix, and have a product out well ahead. They've also been working with interposers far longer. NVIDIA didn't even intend to use HBM until Volta got hugely delayed.

AMD's big thing for Arctic Islands is shrink, move to FF from bulk planar and almost certainly moving foundry from TSMC to GF/Samsung (I trust Samsung's FF process far more than TSMC's).

NVIDIA's big thing for Pascal is absolutely everything is new.

they using different drivers?
or possibly bad review samples?

Most of the reviews are the same. Boomstick just keeps posting mostly carefully selected 4k benches where it wins with a few 1440p ones as well.

I could equally fill the thread with loads graphs showing it being beaten by a 980 but I can't be bothered.

I'll wager it won't be a damp squib

Sorry if it's a silly point, but all these comments about how well it runs 4K, I wonder how DSR/VSR runs? Could be interesting to see 4K on 1440p (that's what I play) with AA turned off.

Judging by those cherry picked results it seems not too bad at 4k, would have been tempted but I would need 2 for 60fps in most games, but AMD's reputation with crossfire is not the best. (that is being kind)

Oh yes I can't game at 4k as AMD appear to be stuck in 2009 and inisist on sticking with HDMI 1.4, great job guys

I for one admire his dedication.

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. Nice card and looks great, can't believe how small it is... suprb and great decision to do seperate cooling... Shame, but not quite there me thinks. Be interesting to see how it copes over next 12 months to the current gen on 4k gaming...

I can understand why DVI has been left out.. its an outdated spec that has no place on modern hardware. HDMI 2.0 i sorta understand people missing but then again it is easily fixed with a converter. DP is the way forward as it matures much faster than HDMI ever has.

Very disappointed.

I guess we look forward to paying £500 for a mid range Geforce GT1050ti next year when AMD go bust.

Don't think there are any DP to HDMI2.0 converters actually available yet?

Sadly,unless you are a blind loyalist,that may be the case for a lot of people. I know three people who were all waiting for todays benches to drop who have ordered Ti's instead.

Yup - my card history is AMD predominantly (AMD 9700, AMD 9800XT, AMD X800XT PE, AMD X1950Pro, Nvidia 8800GTX, AMD 4870 (CF), AMD 5870, AMD 7970 (CF), Nvidia 970 (SLI) ) but Nvidia are just winning atm.

Again though, loads of people still use DVI and loads want HDMI 2.0 functionality. AMD seem to be jumping the gun a bit.

There is leading the market, and then there is this. I think if they want to make money, they need to release things people want now, not in a few years time.

We will all be playing 4k through display port in say 3 years time but what good will the Fury be then?

hmhm not convinced yet either way, u can call me dum i dont mind x_X
anyway f00dies!

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Just thought, there is a bit of good news in amongst all of this.

The Xfire FreeSync drivers will be released now, as they've been holding them back until they got the 3s and the Furys out.

Nope, they were lazy ****ers and preferred to use Tonga as a basis for the Fury GPU. Let's *hope* they put those pennies towards the next die-shrink design!! Because if not, nVidia are gonna bury them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a bunch of tossbags

They must have pulled in Matt AND Joe in on driver duty

Great post.. Keep them coming.

I've provided far more creditable posts in the fury and 390 threads and other threads. I predicted the fury was Tonga scaled up by X2 almost a year ago.
