The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

What issues? The only game with Gameworks I have is pCars, which I bought by mistake not knowing it has been supported by nvidia. Other than this I haven't actually owned any other Gameworks title. So I don't have 'my' issues with Gameworks ;)
The only issue I have with it is that I laugh quite a bit about the issues other people have with Gameworks and all the stories which come with every Gameworks game. I know I should feel sorry for people who get caught with the issues, but I cannot help it ;)

So just ignoring the rest of what I wrote. So you only have experience with one game, and yet condemn them all?

By that logic anyone that's had an issue with a Gaming Evolved game should follow suit and never buy them all as well? I mean I was kinda upset AMD got the devs to block TressFX 2.0 from running on NVIDIA hardware, but that's hardly going to stop me from buying a game if they're involved.

A game that's badly made is the fault of the developer, and most of those were Ubisoft games. Which have always been bad performance and stability wise on PC for over 5 years, never mind their terrible QA/QC and dropping support with games with known game breaking bugs.

That's hardly NVIDIA or gameworks' fault.

Personally the only gameworks game I've owned that has been a mess was Batman Arkham Knight, and that's entirely down to the PC developers being Iron Galaxy; a team with all their experience in porting game to the PS3 and Xbox 360.

Because each card is its own lottery. Having had three before that were bad his chances of having a fourth that was better were not really significantly better than when he was waiting for the third. That being said we can say it is very bad luck and perhaps evem indicative of a bigger problem....but 4 remains a small number of graphics cards.
Understand I had one that was noisy and was sent back and I fully note that this is a bigger issue than AMD let on....but it is still only the first batch with the vast majority of retailers expecting stock at the end of the month...I would hesitate to pick up any fury x in stock at the moment as it is very likely the first batch and this a risk....

Hey, stop bringing probabilities into other peoples misery :D
I would flip out after 2 cards, let alone 4, and I am AMD GPUs only shop here ;)

I only go by what I hear from people who play these games on normal computers. And every gameworks game of recent, starting with ubi**** AC disaster we hear this lovely information on how Gameworks are brought into the game devs attention several months before release. How about Ubisoft Watchdogs? Do we forget that it was AMD title right at the beginning of development, we got these glorious screenshots of super cool graphics. Then at some point game gets pushed half a year, amd is dropped as partner, we receive another game trailer with reduced graphics, and we find out that now it is nVidia title. Somewhere in that period Ubisoft start talking nonsense about AMD, Watchdogs get released with all it's broken bits.

And remember, you have super computer. You look from perspective from which other people can only dream of. So if you don't have any issues, it does not mean no one else doesn't

I'm just playing the waiting game, can't be bothered going through the hassle of ordering and returning cards. There really needs to be some sort of marking on the box indicating pump revision to sort out this added card lottery.

If they were all bought from the same place then I'd say it's actually more likely having already had one - they get a batch of the noisy ones then ordering several from it won't help. If they were separate places then it's getting unlucky 4 times. Anyhow, I'd agree 4 is still a small number of graphics cards, though as that individual I'd be a bit upset!

So your issue, and the main issue is as usual bad developers; in this case Ubisoft.

I also have "supercomputer" now, I didn't always and even then I only has issues with bad games from bad developers. Last year I had a 280X, before that, GTX 660, before that a GTX470, then 4870X2, and 2900GT.
Hell for a month before I got my SLI 980Ti's I was playing the Witcher 3 on a GTX 580 at 1200p medium settings.

Bad developers put out bad games, simple.
Ubisoft is the one in all your examples that was lying about performance, features, and visuals, and they shipped broken games, and tried to force the PC version of Watchdogs to look like console versions by disabling features. Features users then turned back on.

It was also Ubisoft that dropped support and development on Might and Magic X Legacy after 6 months while it still had game breaking bugs. That's when I stopped supporting them and buying their games.

How does this make NVIDIA and their games technology evil? It's the developers themselves, and by extent their publishing company in cases.

It makes your arguments against Gameworks even worse after you go and state this "I only go by what I hear from people who play these games on normal computers."

The PowerColors been there weeks, msi will be as well now at those prices :D

Would be an idea, a simple sticker on the box would suffice, v2 :p

Just gona leave mine on order, has to be a revised one by that time surely :D

Possibe heat and noise issues putting me off going Fury Xfire now.

Its ******* ridiculous this.

I wouldn't worry about heat and noise bud, as long as you have decent airflow it'll be fine, custom fan profile on AB and mine never break 50c.

Yup, seems the odd drip of stock shows up and its more often than not one with a gimped pump. I could go and order 2 from caseking now but i'd do my nut if i got them and they had the pump issue. Since some of these cards have literally just showed up for the first time there, (powercolor and vtx) you'd think that they would be the revised units. But its not something i want to put to the test. :(

Funny when you think about it, amd badly need sales, theres cards to be had but people are reluctant to buy them because of dodgy ones still doing the rounds. :rolleyes::mad: You'd think the the obvious thing to do would to be recall affected stock, get the pumps sorted and get them back out but nope.

Any news as to when stock will be available and not just 20 or so like we had on launch day ?

Well at the minute the fury x along with other cards are all "overdue" so doesn't look like anytime soon. :( The powercolor fury x is slated for friday but likely it'll be overdue as well.

Maybe Humbug was correct and they are supplying the Asian market and ignoring the rest of the world? Stock is a joke here and the US.

Don't think so

Just done a search on the Firestrike website for the number of results and there are 1731 scores. This includes multiple entries by individuals for example quite a few belong to AMDMatt. The figure also included 1, 2, 3, and 4 card entries so again the owners are getting counted more than once.

I picked out Firestrike standard as it is the most popular benchmark.

If we discount the multiple entries and configurations the actual number of owners on there is probably around 300.
