I gave my Fury a bit of a test in UT2004, which is still one of my favourite games. With VSync on to keep it at 60fps, the fan didn't even turn on. It's a bit of any easy test (GPU-Z reported an average of 1% GPU load), but it's still pretty cool to be able to run a high-end GPU fanless while gaming at all.

I played Half Life 1 on a R9 285 a while back it didn't even get out of 2D mode with a silly number of FPS. God the game look terrible though, even at 4k.

Noticed a.n other retailer 1 claims to be receiving the Asus Strix Fury DC3 tomorrow, a.n other retailer 2 shows end of August, wonder if Ocuk are due any ?

Would quite like one, but not prepared to pre-order at the mo without some idea of whether they'll ever arrive.

Had the most fun on ut2k3/2k4 that I have ever had from gaming. UT3 took all that away and I've never been able to recapture that kind of feeling. The invasion mod in 2k3 was just amazing fun, it didn't seem that much fun in 2k4 sadly. Nice to see people still enjoying the game

Got mine today. A nice improvement in performance over my 280X, while using the same power.

And a gratuitous third shot in fiery AMD red.

Very nice!

No mention of the partial unlockability of the Sapphire Fury cards here yet? An overclock.net user by the name of TX12 managed to get the card working with half of the disabled units activated, resulting in 3800 something shaders. He accomplished this in a "lab environment" but he also reckoned this will quite possibly become available as a bios mod soonish.

Can't be bothered to dig up the thread right now but it's the big Fiji-themed one near the top of the AMD cards section.

That'll be lucky since it has a BIOS switch

IainR · 1 Aug 2015 at 18:50

Got mine today, pleased with the performance increase from my 290, especially in Witcher. GTA V with most settings cranked and 2x MSAA was lurvly! Happy with my purchase! New PSU aswell for xfire in the new year.

Nice fit in my Fractal R5, I had removed the middle cage as it was unused and to improve airflow, but it wouldnt have been necessary, which wouldnt have been the case in my antec 902 i just got rid off.

Just read the topic and a few users already managed to kill their card by unlocking disabled cores. Not even reflashing the stock BIOS helped.

He has mentioned to not flash cards until they at least get the boot up issue fixed as well.

Thank you!

Coming from an MSI gaming 290, having a card that runs both cool and quiet is something of a revelation, so maybe not quite so crazy

Orangey · 2 Aug 2015 at 13:11

Look forward to a year of "bought a Fury pro hoping to unlock, now how do I do it?" "doesn't work anymore m8" posts.

LoadsaMoney · 3 Aug 2015 at 13:11

They selling, down to 9 in stock

to be in the front means to take casualties now and then.
expected people to kill their cards with that.

Not to bad if there were hundreds in stock like gibbo was saying.

Lokken86 · 3 Aug 2015 at 14:11

He said there was a couple hundred and another big delivery was coming soon a few days after it launched. AMD are soon learning they can overcharge and get away with it yikes.
