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

I love the way everyone was harping on how it was going to destroy the 980ti only a matter of days ago saying just wait and see!!!! and now it has been rather embarrassingly trounced those same people are now saying wait until the drivers mature!

Wake up call folks: This is AMD, drivers and mature simply do not fit togther

They will do what they did with the R259x2, NOTHING!!! simply move onto the next money spinning project with fingers in their ears while occasionally throwing crumbs to all you lucky Fury owners.
 
How old is faildozer? People still ridicule AMD for that, consumer perception is everything in a sales driven industry. Perception of AMD is now about to take another battering.

People already say and rightly so in some cases that they cannot compete with Intel, and now you can pretty much garauntee the same will be said about them and Nvidia.

For every person who has a single positive to say about AMD you can now garauntee there will be atleast 5 people who can rightly say atleast 3 negatives about AMD.

Unfortunately I think the FuryX was needed to be a hit for them to bring some credibility back after the huge delay getting it out amongst the hype over HBM too, doesn't seem so far that this will be the case.

So many missed opportunities, this card should never have been allowed to see the light of day in its current form, locked over clocking potential, overpriced, under performing and if indeed it gets better with drivers the question remains why were these drivers never available at release?

I don't think AMD can win anything or salvage anything from this one

THIS. AMD is always behind it's never leading the way. People are always backing it.
 
Can see their driver release notes now, known issues, XXXX - some users may observe poor performance, we are working with the developer to address this issue, with a gasme patch, so that we can then tune it.

I think people are getting hysterical over this, I've scoured the reviews and it beats a Ti enough times to say it trades blows, I don't know where this "struggles to beat a 290X" is coming from. If you see an anomaly like that it's a safe bet to disregard until 2 or so driver releases.

A point I haven't seen raised except once on another forum is the complexity of writing drivers for HBM-equipped cards. I know it's a cop-out to say wait for the drivers but that's the cold harsh reality of our hobby. This is all academic btw, I am not advising anyone to hold off on a Ti or TX, rather just reserving judgement on the Fury.

Agreed, if their are people saying that Fury X struggles to beat a 290X it just shows the mentality. It trades blows with Ti and TX and does beat them in a fair few games.

I think it's that point where Nvidia have done such a good job with marketing etc, that no matter what Nvidia do they can do wrong, and AMD can do no right.

I think it's a shame for the guys that worked on these cards. They are actually pretty good. A smaller company getting some wins against the Titan X isn't an easy feat.

AMD might have more luck with Fury (Non X) and Nano.

Anyways, I'll try the Fury X and see what's what. If it's decent I'll keep it. If not I'll pass it on.

Only in your own mind did this happen.

It's like saying AMD hyped it for months, when in fact they kept schtum. Another fallacy the closed-minded love to spew.

Twas a good job AMD handpicked only their most favourite reviewers too. Imagine the reaction if they had let those nasty anti amd reviewers get the cards? !?

PCPer is quite balanced to be fair, they were saying it lost to the 980Ti on most benchmarks in the nicest possible way. If you were a reviewer, you wouldn't want to lose the opportunity to test another card in the future by being too blunt about the results :D

I found people to be negative as a life thing.
Its sad for them tragic even.
I check the fury and it owns the Nvidia stuff for what I use my computer for.
I am super happy with the first fury x now I await 3 long weeks to the 14 of July not sure if I can stay happy until then?

YES! I can :D
 
Seems like a solid release that's competitive with the 980 Ti and comes factory water cooled for the same price as an aircooled 980 Ti.

Whilst I'm not in the market for a new card right now, happy with my 970, it would be a toss up choosing between the two. Looking foward to see what becomes of OCing and voltage unlocking as even with a small overclock the card seem to be responding well with improved performance in game.
 
If Fury X had been 10% faster than the Titan X people would have said it wasn't enough, not conclusive enough etc (kinda like they did when the 7970 spanked the GTX 580).

Had it been 20% they still would have been upset.

It's within a margin of error of the 980ti IMO. 4 FPS isn't really a loss. Then there's the fact that you can't overclock it AT ALL yet and the fact they're running on day one drivers.
