I must have had 5 or 6 closed loop coolers now and none have ever made this expected sound they claim is always there. Never had a cooler master one though...

Seems to be going by pics of the card opened up. Though its a high speed pump for a reason so wouldn't be confident in messing with it. The whine is affecting some retail cards, not that many so far. So hopefully an isolated issue.
Should be crossfire reviews pretty soon, dual is bound to be on par or slightly below.
I have always liked their air coolers, but this will be the first and last time i buy a water cooler from them.
Quite like the look of this Antec

yeh hard to tell when so little stock
i just thought in that vid the fan was hardly spinning the pump didnt need to be making all that noise lol
they did a good job on the cooler, they not having a lot of luck
nice to see the 295 is still top of the pile- FuryX x2 will be a beast
well yes of course........because even 4 months ago it was pretty clear that the card to go for will be the FuryX2 Dual, because this Fury X was always going to be about the same, maybe 10fps faster or slower.
people are misunderstanding what's going on here, you have actually got the card that AMD promised, unfortunately it's slower than we would've liked, but it's still well within ``Tolerance``.
u cant changed the fan on them tho right?
that would worry me lol
i thought silverstone had the best looking one but duno how they performed
1st chance I've had too look at these reviews and I'm very Disappointed was expecting near titan x/ above 980ti like the 290x was and what a good gpu that was at the time.
Glad I bought a titan X on release now, just goes to show playing the waiting game isn't the best as I've enjoyed gta 5 at its a high smooth framerate

Is the main reason everyone finds it disappointing, and expected more, because its been nearly 2 years since they released a high end card, so people are thinking, 2 years, thats a long time between cards, it should be annihilating Nvidia, they've released 4x in that time unanswered ?
Its competing with the Ti, wins some, loses some, thats good enough for me.

Well AMD never did compete with the titans from nvidia nor come close to its king of the crown GPU so that AMD have done this this gen is quite something for AMD but the hype and time taken to get this GPU to our fingertips led us to believe AMD could have took the crown. This is why people are disappointed but shouldn't be too disappointed. I just think AMD are too proud of their accomplishments and are currently pricing their card a little too high just a nidge under 500 quid sounds about right to me.
i doubt the fury x will be retested. The reference 290x never got retested in most reviews results. Was also annoying when i saw new nvidia AIB cards being tested against 290x reference quiet and uber modes....
We all knew the reference cards sucked but reviews always used the old results.
Not just that most of the reviewers don't get to keep the review sample cards they send them off to either other reviewers or give them away. So its most likely they wont get retested with newer drivers.

I dunno, i think the price is fine, £509 (thats not much more than i paid for my 290X), comes with an AIO cooler, thats got to be around £100, if you want an AIO cooled Ti, you're talking £650.

That is true with the AIO actually. Does add value to the card!!
sometimes i keep forgetting about the added value of the AIO lol. Would be good to see when new drivers hit and voltage becomes available to see how the Fury x overclocks against the 980ti reference overclocks. Then it will be reference vs reference.

I think they do retest but they still test with the reference card which is daft. If you look at the testing methods which i do a lot of the time it usually tells you which drivers were used. That's why in most reviews you see Kepler cards failing so bad against the 290/x these days.

Yeah its going to be interesting when its gets some more drivers, as its only got its 1x set of release BETAs hasn't it ?
The voltage unlocking should also bring good things (hopefully).

A decent set of drivers and voltage control should see Fury X looked upon more favourable when the Aio is factored in with the price. This should all have been ready for release as AMD have now tarred it with a not so good card moniker in a lot of people's minds.
Me too. I do appreciate the nice cooler and all, I see that as a nice freebie but when I'm reading a review my go to page is always the games performance first, then tempts, next overclocking and finally power consumption .
This is a textbook example of marketing brainwashing... 290X was faster.

Maybe not on release but the 290x certainly is beating the original Titan now.

The non X will be interesting as well, if thats like the 290 to 290X, and priced decently, that could be the go to card, as that'll be air cooled, will come in all the Gaming, G1 varieties etc..., and OC'd models as well.
