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

[Perfect_Chaos]

I went through those benchmarks at 1440p (as im moving to that), and the same happened, good/better than the Ti, so its not just at 4k.

In a few of them, it was down into 3rd, with the old 690 above it on Standard as well, but once id whacked the AA/AF on, it shot to the top.

EDIT: Weird one.

Hitman Absolution 1440p, Standard, its below the Ti and 690, whack the AA/AF on to 4xAA/16xAF, it goes to the top, but if you then change it to 8xAA/16xAF, the Ti goes back to the top, pushing it to 2nd.

I still don't see anything that's making me want to cancel my 980Ti order though, was hoping there would be. Future performance with drivers is also an unknown.. Not sure tbh.

after telling myself to stick with my 980 sli and not waste anymore money, im now getting uncontrolable urg to buy a fury x and dont know how much longer i can hold out

As long as AMD keep making one card per day you'll likely hold out just fine.

I'd love to get one for the weekend and there is absolutely nothing anywhere, there were a total of 6 showing on the store when the NDA lifted.

Anyone would think it was a Victorian trinket.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

I can wait for mine, might be a better driver out by then

 

[andybird123]

Well, that's the point I was making.

It shows that the card has more top end grunt capability even at 4k & it appears that the 4gb memory limit isn't causing issues.

To me this implies that if the core clock can be upped by a reasonable amount with OC/voltage we will be looking at something quite special for high detailed 4k gaming.

No, you've missed my point, FXAA is a blur effect applied after the scene has already rendered, takes a fraction of an fps, it isn't really AA in the traditional sense

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yeah. FXAA has next to no performance hit, literally one frame if you're lucky. There's no witchcraft there. What is 'standard' anyway? Not played that game in awhile.

 

[Lokken86]

Kepler cards have went backwards in the pecking order due to whatever reasons. A 390x is now competing with a gtx980. Amd's new drivers seem to have given a decent boost to all GCN cards which puts them in an even better light. Most reviews were using the 15.5 driver with others saying there's an even bigger performance boost on newer leaked drivers. It's going to be interesting after all the reviews are done and AMD releases this driver for the whole Gcn range which will make the 290/x an even better buy.

Thanks. Aye, rebrand or not I really can't see past the 390 for 1080p gaming for the price. At least amd are quite good at increasing performance with drivers. There is hope for the fury x yet. Just disappointing they can't do it off the bat.

By bad misread your comment as AA, many of the games on that site have AA applied to 4k & the Fury pulls ahead of the 980ti.

 

[nashathedog]

Went through all the benchmarks on that one, swapping the res to 1440p, seemed to be on the heels of the Ti, and when you ramped up the AA/AF higher, it went ahead.

No it didn't, It got a lot closer and practically matched it here and there but it never went ahead once.

You can't presume the ram isn't causing issues because you get decent averages, The 780ti running far cry 3 at 4k hit the same averages as a Titan Black but unlike the Titan Black the 780ti's minimums went down to single figures which made the game unplayable due to the stutter.

Averages do not give us enough data.

 

[BaDBoY_uK]

Wow I really expected this to beat the 980 Ti.

I didn't. AMD have always been a let down for new cards coming out

 

[Dygaza]

Why does the Fury perform so badly in GTAV though? This seems to be the case in most benches. It can't even beat a 980 in GTAV until you get to 4k.

Very drawcall heavy game. Especially if you use advanced features for draw distance and shadowdistance.

 

[LtMatt]

Id be interested in that MAtt

Btw, i notice you have some of the pumps at the bottom of your case, so how are they like that, as not recommended by all accounts ?

I think it's optimal to have the pump above the gpu, but it does not matter having it lower, as evidence by my setup. The two rads at the bottom of my case are the coolest, though that might be because they're nearest my intake fans.

I wouldn't go that far, they have released some very good cards in the past. This one i am a bit disappointed with though, i would like it much more if the 1080p and 1440p performance were better.

Go for it, it's a nice card. Really quiet and cool running.

Looking at mine as something to play with until Pascal next year.

Have a feeling Nvidia's next flagship is going to be scary and make all the current stuff look old and dated anyway.

Indeed, people have found that the 780 Ti 3GB stutters in SoM with the textur pack, the 980 at 4K will also stutter but a bit less, ans the developers explained that is due to vram being less than the stated requirement and the stutter is because it is pulling resources out of system ram. The 980Ti doesn't stutter as the vram caps out at less than 6GB.

 

[humbug]

A clocked 390 would be flying here. Someone tell me what's up with that I thought it was just a 290. Surely the 780ti would be doing better then that too.

Its not just a clocked 290.

Thanks for that Matt, i'll see how i get on trying to squeeze it at the rear, least i know if im having a faff on, i can always go the bottom route, see how it fares there

Isn't that a huge fault for the Fury X? Would Direct X 12 help to manage it?

Maybe this is the reason why Fury X fails. AMD didn't improve a lot from the polygon throughput of the 290x [Link]
