The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

Boomstick777 said:
In my specific case, (I can't comment on other Fury X owners) I was told by the retailer that AMD have told them they do not consider pump noise a fault, R:E not to accept RMA for fault based on pump noise. They have said the comments to reviewers are not an official statement regarding return for pump noise.

If this is correct I shall not be purchasing another AMD card.

If they classify an absurdly high pitch constant whine as a feature, but one which they in the background replace from the second revision because it's killing sales - that's just a joke.

This is exactly what i was saying earlier. The images posted are in no way any indicator to the image quality either card is capable of delivering. You need high res images and video to make a comparison.

If you are comparing the MAXIMUM detail then yes, still images are better. But we are looking at objects that are of obvious low quality to begin with. And objects that are entirely missing.

while final verification and checking can come from still images. at the beginning of the video there are details missing in the titan x video before Greg starts moving.

The videos were captured with the same recording device. If something appears in the Fury X recording then it should appear in the titan X recording. If they appear in one and not the other then its a rendering issue with one of the devices.

It is funny all of this. If it was the Fury x that had the image issue the usual peanut gallery would be all over it. And if that was the case, the video would be perfectly fine as proof for them.

Thats a real **** take if amd have told them that. Telling reviewers one thing then changing their story just in case they get an influx of returns. Hardly the consumers fault they sent out cards with gimped pumps. And realistically they could just do an exchange for ones with the upgraded pump, change the pumps on the returned cards and put them back out or sell them on to oem's as refurbed units.

Then again it would sort of tie in with amd going totally silent on the issue, their twitter and facebook pages have quite a few queries about the noise to no response.
 
Why on earth ruin a reputation from a very small number of shipped cards I'd like to know?, surely it can't be worth a few rejected after 14 day returns?.

Again, the lack of concrete comments directly from AMD (mixed online comments is all we've had) really isn't helping their reputation on this.

I understand what your saying but i still maintain that it's not a fair comparison. You need the uncompressed source image. Doing it from a low quality recording introduces too many variables.

@ Gregster:

If Titan X and Fury X were at same setting in your video, why is there detail missing from Titan X version? Plus draw distance looks reduced..

Wow, thanks for this Boomstick/Greg. The AMD FURYX has a much higher quality image - glad I didn't go for a 980ti now :)

Hopefully the big review websites will start testing this and expose NVIDIA's cheating once more.

Literally just from the first second of unblurred in game action when paused there are very large differences. First off the draw distance problems are not surprisingly still there and also not surprisingly the tree definition improved. As I said that is the kind of thing you'd expect to lose definition on lower video quality settings.

I would say, lighting and draw distance are very clearly using very different settings. As before the question is, is Nvidia 'optimising' these settings which is boosting performance while dropping IQ, or is it the game bugging out and not enabling certain things.

The tree at 16 seconds, 38 seconds as well, along with the wall and the areas of light rays on the building, they look so so much better on the Fury. I think it's fair to say the performance gap would reduce noticeably with better lighting and higher draw distance enabled on the Titan, how much and what the IQ differences would be then, who knows.

haha, head to 52 seconds in or so, on the Fury you can see the zebra crossing type marks on the far side of the crossing, then click back and you can see it appears in low quality at about 48/49 seconds and is clearly visible at 50 seconds. On the Titan this literally a white smudge till 53 seconds which is the first time you see distinct white lines appear and fully 54 seconds before it becomes clearly visible(though still a bit more blurry). Even worse is the Titan video is about 2 seconds ahead at this point. So pretty obvious large detail is appearing basically 6 seconds later on the Titan while the player runs at full pelt. That is pretty terrible.

A good way to visualise that is that on the Titan you can't see the second zebra crossing till you are standing on the first one. If you go back to 50 seconds you can see how far away the first crossing is and you can already see the second one on the Fury and at that point you're pretty damn far away from it.


38fps more(at that particularly point, but the IQ sucks balls.

Great explanation, fully agree.

Guys, I am more than happy for this discussion about IQ to continue but could someone start a new thread, as this really isn't the place. :)

As much as I for the moment atleast believe something is awefully wrong with this comparrison i do agree.. This convo is for a dedicated thread not the FIJI owners.. so lets continue it somewhere else.

I don't blame you.

Firstly you may get a duff card, secondly they may reject the return. Until they state otherwise & pass this information on the retailers it's just not worth the risk.

On the other hand the 980ti G1 Gaming is reduced this week... :p, damn you OCUK for tempting me away from team red....

Tempting, though it is over £100 more.
 
Such a shame, seems even the AMD die hards are switching across to Nvidia.

Doubt I will ever get AMD, they constantly ignore their customers, fail to release crossfire profiles for new games consistently, and now this whinegate business, a decent company would release a statement putting the loyal customers who bought their card's mind at ease by offering to exchange all cards to the revised model but noooooo not AMD.

Its like they want to go out of business, as much as I like Nvidia cards I would not want them to have no competition but I think this will happen, it is only a matter of time,
