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

All these reviews are well and good but surely directx 12 is where this card will truly come alive :)

But by the time lots of DX12 games come out, Pascal and AMD's die shrink cards with HBM 2 will be out and this will look slow in comparison.

I certainly wouldn't buy any card right now with my sights set on Dx12.

I think that is harsh, although if you just look at 1080p they have a point.

This I though was spot on though and covers what I was saying early:

"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? The AMD Radeon Fury X is a confusing product, like a technology demo not fully realized, a showcase for HBM only but with no real substance. The AMD Radeon Fury X looks to be a great marketing showcase, but its prowess starts waning when you consider its value to gamers and hardware enthusiasts."

I think fair play for not giving it a gold award like TTL did, Hardcop actually didn't even rate it.

Your right about 1080p looking at the techpowerup performace chart the GTX 980 is only 5% behind the Fury.

Some make it sound that when DX12 is out NV will have nothing ready.
 
Performance is generally in line with what I expected it to be - holding its own against the 980Ti/ Titan X, although ultimately being slightly slower than both of them. I have to say I was hoping the Fury X would beat them both, just so that AMD could be on top for the first time in what seems to have been ages, but I suppose at £510 it is relatively competitively priced anyway.
 
Its another 2900, it won't be out long before their newer cards, they just had to bring something out, they just couldn't go with nothing till those new cards, as Nvidia are absolute decimating them, ala 2900.
