Absolutely! With 980s available at close to £350 this card doesn't make sense at anything above £400 really.

have they held back the 1pm release? thought it was today....
OCuk clocks are obviously running a bit slow. It's available at competitors though

Probably checking competitor pricing/availability. There is no rush, I don't think people will be flashing the plastic for these.
Soldato
£450 on Ocuk too.
Soldato
yeah have to agree, at the prices I have just seen.....no thanks AMD 
which is quite gutting as they good have made a new mid range king if the price was right.

Stock availability of the Fury cards is terrible.
They probably don't have much choice these cards will likely be expensive to manufacturer. IMO AMD would've really have just been better updating 390 series to GCN1.2 and selling them at much more affordable prices (~£300) rather than trying to compete with NVidia at the high end.
I am pro AMD and prefer them over Nvidia, but never to the point where I would throw money at an overall inferior product.
I can understand that AMD are no longer happy to be considered cheap alternatives, but surely they have to at least be a viable alternative if they are priced similarly. 290X was only marginally slower than 780Ti and even had the benefit of 1GB extra VRAM. Yet it was considerably cheaper. Fury on the other hand is considerably more expensive than a similarly performing GTX 980. WTF AMD
Fury truly does defy the odds by being a GPU that offers nothing over a considerably cheaper alternative. Couple this with the fact measurably faster 980Tis can be purchased for only £50 more is a massive nail in Fury's coffin. It's ironic really as when Nvidia do this the Nvidia fans still lap them up (780Ti vs 290X AIB).
Fiji is a failure as far as AMD are concerned. This is the 1st time I can remember a GPU launch actually helping the opposition. Fiji is so lacklustre people are flocking to purchase superior Nvidia products.
390X - rebrand of 290X with a massive price hike and extra 4GB VRAM = Meh
Fury X slower than 980Ti, pump noise issues, locked voltage = Massive advert for Nvidia products
Fury Pro massively overpriced and offers nothing tangible over nine month old GTX 980. = Pointless
Poor stock levels at release.
Even the majority of AMD partners are avoiding the Fury - MSI, XFX, Powercolor, HIS and Gigabyte, let that sink in folks.
At least you fixed the poor stock cooler debacle that came with 290X. Go AMD
Even AMD fans are reeling at the utter mediocrity their current GPU releases have brought. Only utter fanboys and AMD employees would purchase AMD over Nvidia this round. Lol, maybe driver improvements will make it all better.

This is like watching a car crash.
by this point most people probably have 980tis already or fury x on order
I can see this selling well in 6 monthes time if it drops close to £300
for people that are still using weaker cards like gtx 670s, r9 280x etc
but I dont see why you wouldnt go for full enthusiast if you are willing to pay 450

ocuk looking like they're trying to force price down across the furys?
Yep, I had earmarked one of these to replace my 580, but with the price as is there's no way I'd go for it. The 390x/980 or going the full way to the 980ti just makes more sense.
