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

[Nutella33]

Annoying how pepole forget to mention it's watercooled and limited overclocking wise. This is ocuk most users oc

Most users would remember Tx was voltage locked on release as well and would perhaps rein in their diatribe until overclocking has actually been tested properly.

On what planet is this Bulldozer. I literally don't understand, are people choosing to be blind today? Actually look at the numbers below (Click Spoiler). The Fury X has to be the first GPU ever to be winning in a big variety of games and be called Bulldozer..

Spoiler

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.

Hey mate can I get your thoughts on this:

http://www.pcworld.com/article/2939...iew-amds-thoughtful-4k-powerhouse.html?page=2

using the Ultra HD Texture pack and manually cranking every graphics option to its highest available setting, which Shadow of Mordor’s Ultra setting doesn’t actually do.

This is the most VRAM hungry game out there, but Fury X equals GM200 even with the 4GB. So the memory management must have been improved.

Yeah when I said trolling, I mean all the stuff aimed at AMD. It will be easy for people to miss the fact that the Fury X is actually beating the Titan X in a few things. It's cringe-worthy some of the posts because they don't acknowledge this at all. It's literally like their eyes will not acknowledge this.

People calling it faildozer etc. But we have here a GPU that trade blows, loses some and wins in others against Nvidia's GM200, but that will be forgot because of the overwhelming amount of anti AMD rhetoric being posted. Which is a shame, think they should get some credit for what they have done.

It is what it is, have to hand it to Nvidia they have perfect marketing. Even if AMD had beating the Titan X across the board. I still think it wouldn't be enough. I.e if it was much faster but more expensive than that would be a problem, people would say just get the Ti. There will always be something. I don't know how AMD get out of this situation.

Maybe they will have more luck with the Fury (Non X) and Nano launches. Hopefully.. I want AMD to stick around. No working driver from Nvidia in months, Gameworks ruining big games. We need competition for Nvidia because otherwise PC gaming could get a lot more expensive / worse.

Glad I was correct about your intentions Boom . The thing to realise here is perception, it matters not what people think, only what is and when you and Kaap have the card in your hands (machines) then we can see what is really going on. Also with driver releases and hopefully voltage control, it's another thing to be optimistic about so let people perceive what they want and try not let it derail your optimism as in a world full of glass half empty people, your stance is refreshing.

I look forward to your benchmarks and opinion.

Mods need to clean this thread up.. So much trolling going in its a total joke.

 

[uksoldierboy]

Card looks awesome to me, can't understand all the hate

Looking forward to testing it tomorrow.

 

[Orangey]

Ok never happened, EVER! got it

Enjoy the card

Thought I already mentioned, I am waiting for the full range before potentially buying anything from it. We still don't know the config of Fury non-X.

Agreed! I don't overclock, but am sure msi afterburner will get back on this and tweak it.. Amd driver never allowed voltage control anyways..
Third party program is needed.

Put the handbag away Boom, you got me all wrong. The point I was making was that we waited a bloody long time with no information whilst hyping it up, only to be presented with a product which doesn't meet our hopes (ie. not expectations). We all wanted this to be a TX smasher but we're a bit disappointed. That's what I meant

Yeah that's it change the narrative . With nothing to add that's logical, nice one . Stop talking about handbags for a sec and look at the numbers I posted, it is beating the Titan X in a few things what do you say about this?

I feel it's almost like people are choosing to ignore this. I don't if this is a bias thing or what. But it's like I literally don't understand people calling it a fail while it's actually beating the Titan X. Nothing logical to contribute other than FUD and Trolling.

Here is the Fury X destroying the Titan X in Far Cry 4 at 4K? Your opinion?

Here are benchmarks showing epic Fury X performance, what is your opinion?

Instead, the Radeon R9 Fury X delivers performance surreally similar to Nvidia’s 980 Ti.

But still, if you compare the current price vs the 980ti performance per dollar is strongly I'm the green camp. It's fact, I'll wait for the results to come out but let's be honest with the aio cooler the fury x is balls to the walls. Where the 980ti has plenty of headroom. These cards are at the same price point.

4K bud, i'm sure with newer drivers lower res performance will improve too.

Agreed, I don't know what's going on lol.

They look really good. Looking forward to testing tomorrow as well

I don't understand though while it performs so meh at 1080p and only really gets better at 1440p but seems to be half decent at 4k, normally the performance is the opposite where it excels at lower res and struggles the higher the res goes.

For me it's simple, I cba overclocking my gear, my 4770k is stock so is my 290 tri-x, they both work brilliantly at 1080p In the games I play, however I want a 27" 1440p screen but I know my 290 will struggle so I need a better card, was hoping the FuryX would dominate at 1440p and be near Nvidia cards at 4k (which I have no interest in) but it seems the card struggles at 1440p with current stuff so anything coming in the future is likely to struggle also, so should a new MMO come along there's a good chance it won't compete with the Nvidia cards in the same bracket.

That's my gripe with this whole thing, I was expecting the card to be a 1440 monster, it seems it's not

Bandwidth. Ask Kaapstad, he knows best. The 290s perform better the higher in resolution they go in comparison to Nvidia. The FuryX from all these varied benchmarks show the same but it's too early to compare to the 290s.

Btw are the Mods asleep? can't they move the green goblin trolls along?

Boom you are correct it looks capable at 4k but that's a niche market still, personally I'm interested in its 1440p performance and to a limited degree it's 1080p performance, what I don't understand is why it seems so lacklustre in those resolutions ?

 

[easyrider]

My wig says it all...

 

[Boomstick777]

Haha

 

[rolypolyman]

Like I said before I await the user reviews from the guys on here who have cards from both camps and therefor no axe to grind. A lot of premature drivel on here based on rather dubious reviews to say the least. I certainly hope the Fury X succeeds as I cannot contemplate being a pc gamer with only Nvidia producing cards at extortionate prices.

 

[uksoldierboy]

Boom did you get just the one or a few? trying to find windows 10 drivers too.

 

[old gamer]

well the card runs cool and quiet and has decent performance, cant see the problem, it may be not as fast as a 980 ti in some games at some res but its not the end of the world
