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

So you're saying we have had more driver updates and fix's this year then last? that would be a no.

You are a funny one, you quoted my whole post and then you write this underneath it?

Made no mention of fixes or updates. I don't use the driver update notes to weigh up my driver experiences. I am saying that i haven't had any driver issues for a few years. You are talking about support for YOU, just because your favourite games didn't get the love and attention you wanted from AMD, doesn't mean everyone else's experiences are bad.

I have found AMD drivers to be great and so have others on this thread, you disagreeing with their statements doesn't make it any less true. The more you moan about it, the more i'm inclined to believe the fault is probably with the user :p

Personally as i've seen in the last few months NV had more problems with their drivers than AMD...freezes, many people needed rollback to more stable drivers, need to turn of hardware acceleration in browser to avoid crashes, bad performance in games etc...

Mostly because the advantage of an AIO cooler is the impressive over-clocks they can reach. At this stage we don't know if this is worth the additional cost or not (if it over-clocks like a dog, there is no point to it having an AIO cooler imho)

You can get almost silent air cooled after-market cards already, so the noise isn't a huge seller on it's own (it also has a greater fitting requirement).

I'd rather have no driver updates than broken driver updates!

Yup, not a popular game at all. Only 500k copies sold by April (and obviously rising!)

Its besides the point as when NV was having the Psychedelic and Artifacts issues with BF4 for a long time [which is a bigger issue than no CF] i could have used that as a bases for the same argument because BF4 is the game i play the most, but i dont pretend that everything revolves around BF4 for others and that NV drivers are poor in general because of BF4 issues.

Some users have a difficult time separating drivers in general to MultiGPU support.

Yes, it does, but personally I fail to see the point of an AIO on a card in the first place that can't be overclocked. I will be waiting to see if software changes this, but if the Fury X ends up being locked in this regard, I will consider AMD a bunch of flagrant liars having initially presented this card as an "overclocker's dream". I have to believe something will change and we'll be seeing these cards running with healthy overclocks in the near future, but in the meantime AMD's silence on the matter is surely only pushing more people to Nvidia.

Sorry but when your whole argument comes down to one game and Mutli GPU for that game then your point is lost.
I dont play Elite so im not experiencing your issues and in the games i play AMD drivers has been great.

See you're a 100% kickass fan boy :)
I look at the whole package and what is happening to other users.

Waiting for gibbo's review. I will most likely go back to NV with a TI G1.

Which just means AMD marketing has messed up even more.

AMD talked about the card being an overclockers dream,it has an AIO and also a power section which is quite beefy. Yet,the software support is not there from day one.

Honestly,what are they smoking?? They should have just waited a few more weeks until the Fury launch to actually launch the card with better game drivers and overclocking support from day one.

People might say Nvidia did not have proper overclocking support from day one too with some of their cards,but AMD is launching its new card into a market where GTX980TI overclocking support is well defined.

Or at the very least dropped the RRP down to £450,for what looks like will be a limited run of cards anyway.

Most of this is entirely the fault of AMD themselves. They could have come out of this much better,but seem to be stuck in a reality distortion field.

Seriously,dude what res are you running ED at??

Everyone I know who runs it,is fine with sub £200 hardware. Its not that taxing for a game with such scope and is well optimised.

Oi, I have a 3770k :p

Also, in one breath people on here are bleating on about how cpu's haven't moved on and all you need is a 2500k/2600k still and then in the next people are complaining about a 3770k being used in a review :p

Love this place :D

I do also and i keep seeing that the drivers are great, but the CF profiles are lagging behind but the majority of users dont run multi GPU so the majority are happy.

Because a lot people don't want or need an AIO cooler. For one, it could be problematic to fit for some. Secondly, a lot of the aftermarket air coolers on the 980Ti are just as quiet, if not quieter.

Yes the AIO cooler might give more overclocking headroom but at the moment voltage is locked so no one know whether the AIO cooler will be beneficial or not.

The issue is when using CF it seems to screw the game up.

Single card it's fine but crossfire introduces flickering and stutter.
