Honestly not surprised so many very early adopters are having issues with them. They're all from a small batch test run, and not full production run cards.

So you essentially paid for early test cards.

Pretty much mate yeah lol. Now i'm just waiting like everyone else.
 
so, i am not the only one who had to return the card due it being faulty!
I guess i will cancel the order and never to pre-order again, might just get a reference card or 1060

I ended up putting a €100 towards a Fury X instead, since after a month of waiting that extra 100 isn't so bad for a much faster, quieter and cooler card.

If you don't want a reference card ( which I would avoid ), the only other option is a 1060 in the same price range.

The GPU scene just goes from bad to worse, 970 VRAM scandal, outrageous pricing for performance from yesteryear, test run cards, cards ordered that don't exist, ASUS/OCUK offering a lesser card for the same money as a 'replacement' for cards that don't exist after taking people's money....that was absolutely disgraceful.

Very very poor form from NV and AMD IMO.

:(

Oh, wow. Did it even power up correctly? (Fans spin, LED logo light up)

yes, it powers up and fans spin but still not recognized, it was very strange, wasted the whole weekend trying to figure out whats the problem, then gave up and returned it, now I don't know when the replacement will arrive as there is no stock, might just go for a 1060, although I have a freesync monitor and would have prefered and AMD card

Yeah Fury is a good buy. I'll just wait for the RX 480, it was powerful enough for my needs till high end Navi shows up (first half 2018 hopefully).

Although it's frustrating you would be mad to get a 1060 with a Freesync screen.

Just ordered a reference rx480, to be honest after checking all the reviews its not much different when it comes to overclocking, the reference cards when overclocked are sometimes faster than the AIB cards, only down side is the higher temperature and noise levels which I will have to live with.
