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

Boomstick we get it. If you like to play Shadow of Mordor and Tomb Raider at 4k, then the Fury X is for you :p

WTF is it with AMD and high idle noise level!!???? Does my bloody nut in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(don't mind load level so much, as I game with a headset!!!*)

*Except dual reference 290X's, they were *awful* as I could hear them through my headset under load!!!!
 
It's doing good at higher res. Is anyone really buying this monsters to run at 1080p?! :p

It's doing ok at higher res - it's strong at 4k, but not really capable of driving a 4k monitor by itself. A 15% driver improvement would help but it's probably a bit late for most people who were hanging on for the review.

Someone with Fury X should try those modded W10 drivers from Guru3D. Supposedly they are some 15% faster.
 
But, but, but, HBM!!!

Man there's a ton of posts I'd love to quote that went around the last few weeks!

Still, not quite a lemon. Maybe a grapefruit?

And now we know that hbm isn't the second coming. Just it managed to keep their power draw reasonable.

First lol: Man some of you fan boys a true triers! Go you!

Second lol: let's keep posting a few cherry picked benches over and over. If they see it enough they will unsee all the less positive review?

Third lol: yeah, you keep waiting for those drivers... Been there, done that!
 
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?"

#REKT :eek:

They'll struggle getting future review samples from AMD after that!

Probably, they shouldn't be penalised for being honest though.

That is what annoyed me about TTL video review i felt like he was brown nosing a bit to stay in AMD's good graces.
 
So to my untrained eye, it would seem HBM only makes a difference at very high resolutions?

Good scores but disappointing given the hype about the specs :/
 
Day starts and it's all sad faces for those hoping for an AMD revolution and as it draws near to an end, benchmarks emerge that show a different light and raises hopes. My point?. Wait till Kaapstad, BoomStick and any other OCUK members bench theirs and then we can see what's what.

Patience is a virtue, so be virtuous :p.

Why are you on a cherry picking spree going through every review and posting the results that are even slightly favorable for AMD?

Cherry picking is useless. The average results tell the real story and that story says that the Fury X is slightly slower than the 980Ti.

Yes, and to be honest, I suspect AMD had to go with HBM despite the 4gb limitation just to keep the power draw down to acceptable levels/below 300w.
 
Censored hitler vid.


Always mastering defeat lol.

I quite like Always making disasters.

To be fair, There's nothing much wrong with the Fury X's. They were hyped up to the hilt and as always ended up a let down. Don't ****ing hype AMD up so much and their cards will be seen as pretty good.
