Can't wait for Gregster or Kaap to run some tests between Fury X and Titan under Win10.

G sold his FuryX

More precisely: They will not optimize old games for the new chips. Its not the same as not supporting it.

That is a semantics discussion, AMD don't support Mantle drivers for Fiji chips, which is why the performance is all over the shop. Not supporting driver development amounts to the same thing as not supportingthe APi on Fiji., unless you want to write your own driver...

Mine has arrived!

Unfortunately I won't be able to use it for another couple of weeks as it's going in my new build, which I don't have time to start yet.

Going to be mounting my EK block on it, but seems a shame to remove the awesome stock cooler.

Congrats!

GPU temps lower than CPU

That's a regular feature with the Fury X, even with four of them sitting on top of each other.

Ash0787 Gregster ran 3D heaven benchmark and my overclocked 290x is 2fps off fury X !!!!! TWO FPS GAIN..... So with OC fury X I would be looking at 3 maybe 4 FPS more over 290x !!! That wont cut it better off buying another 290x..... Even tho i hate Xfire

so you play heaven benchmark all day. That's so sweet

Gregster · 30 Jul 2015 at 20:18

Zed is a good guy and comments like that are not really needed, Muzigaz. Very often things like Heaven/3DMark are used to gauge the speed of a GPU and its capabilities and used as a benchmarking tool for HWBot.

Greg, I did not mean to be mean with my comment, just a bit teasing

I do not have any problems with benchmarks, but I do have problems with Unigine ones, since those are absolutely useless to check on AMD performance capabilities

and hwbot uses several types of superPI alternatives which are basically superpi clones, so hwbot using heaven as a benchmark does not mean that that benchmark is representative of anything

Nice , any pictures of it out of the box ?

I'm sorry what? I have two of them, and 930rpm is minimum, and they are completely silent. During heavy load they speed up to 1000rpm and that's all :/
How is it even possible that single 950rpm fan can be loud to some? Seriously do some of you guys have a microphone inside of the case which leads to your headphones for you to listen?
I sleep next to my pc with 2 fury x folding proteins. That's how silent those things are :/

Some people are sensitive to noise, it doesn't have to be loud but just 'there' and constant is enough to annoy, my rig is totally passive at idle/non gaming so yeah, 950rpm fan is fairly noticeable to me.

I am sure you didn't mean any offence and SuperPI is just one of many CPU bench runs that is part of the scoring system on HWBot, as is Heaven for the GPU scoring sysem.

For the record, the Fury X was horrendous in Catzilla as well

I'll take some at the weekend

LoadsaMoney · 30 Jul 2015 at 22:05

These are not that sparse now, someones just got a few more in, to add to the ones they still got from weeks ago, they'll never shift em at that price, going to end up with a healthy stock of them before long

Unless thats their strategy, keep that ridiculous price so no one buys, then when they are the only ones with them, people will cave and bite

Catzilla is screwed.. I score more with the Fury than Titan Black SLI.

HWBot don't use Heaven 4 as it takes away a lot of the advantage LN2 benchers get with older less demanding versions.

When Heaven 4 there is more emphasis on GPU grunt rather than CPU clockspeed.

By the way guys dont try to use this adapter with the fury x, I've used it for a week and the adapter seems almost broken, it will hit anything thats plugs into an adjacent port which causes the usb to bend away from the body so if you had 2 of these you are limited to using 2 monitors assuming you only have 1 graphics card. Also the length of the thing and the weight of the DVI connector causes it to bend downwards and it obstructs your vision of anything below the graphics card https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-086-OK&tool=3

better off using this cable which seems to work quite well although its expensive if you need 2 or 3 of them https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-051-SR
