There was a lot of stock on the Titan X at launch but not that many posted on the ROH, so it is the same both ways.

If anything it paints a very very limited picture. In a similar way that the amount of card users of a particular card on steam show how well said card is selling, when it doesn't take into account second hand users of cards already accounted for etc.

it isn't going to be accurate in absolute terms, obviously, but as a very rough gauge of proportions it probably isn't a bad shout

if one TROH shows 10 of something and the other shows 100, it probably isn't far off to say that one is outselling the other 10-1

Andy gets it. Whilst it isn't 100% accurate, it isn't a bad way to gauge how many are sold.

Sorry Gregster got to disagree - as we don't know the silent majority that buying.

Is it the ave of for every one 1 sold and talk about there is another 10 sold? Could it be another 20? 30? 100?

Its not a good way to gauge sales at all. Stats back this up - those that have the hard sell numbers won't say anything yet but the sells figures are going to be a lot higher than most will admit or realise.....

Guys as much as we love ocUK, they are not the centre of the universe. Far from it. Let's take competitor. They have forums as well and they sell Fury x. Yet there is not even a thread about it. So what? Does it mean they do not sell any furys at all. I bought two of them, so this theory goes out of the window straight away.

first batch had an issue with Fury x, since then its fixed.
asus had issues with dc2 cooler on the 290 but then they fixed it but the rumor stays.

I read of tons of people buying the fury x and its dead silent and cool.
best card in the world bar none with windows 10.

The 970 have big issue coilwhine and 3.5gb sold as 4gb.
you wont see much complaining about that for some reason.

This is the problem the forums got, lies and fanboying.
The issues with the Asus 290 and 290x have not been fixed you're still taking a risk of getting a card that gets reference hot, If it's been fixed prove me wrong provide Asus's we fixed it announcement, There's regular posts in many places from recent buyers still suffering from temp issues, That's the lies.
Why bring up the 970? What has that got to do with this? Nothing so there's no reason for people to keep turning these discussions into brand wars. I don't care one iota about the 970, I care about what I buy and what I want to buy so that's my experiences as a 290x owner and my hopes of getting a decent Fury x. That's the fanboying that we can do without,

Post the Nvidia/AMD rhetoric some place else.

They should block persistent users from certain threads.

Yes, there is no problem posting your finding once or twice. But not over and over and over again (SNIP)but man it gets very annoying when same person comes back a month or two after his issue and keeps talking about his issue which we already heard about.

And that's wrong because?
Did his issue never happen because it was a month or two ago? You're saying that if someone comes on the forum posting about how there thinking of buying a certain card those of us who have posted about issues with the card once or twice or experienced them a month or two ago should keep quiet and let him take the risk of suffering from the same problems.

If you do not like reading about it ignore it, It isn't being written for you anyway.

Gregster I get what you mean but its just too inaccurate and, um, wrong. go back to what I said about fury non x. Hundreds sold and all we know is 6 or 7 out of those people who bought it. Lets say there were 500 so 1.4% are on ROH. If say Titan X has 35 on ROH it doesn't translate that almost 2500 cards are sold.

I don't think it's anywhere near accurate, All you're getting is a small portion of sales belonging to the more fanatical PCers.

I never started using the forum at first and I've never joined a ROH club and doubt I will even when I (FINALLY) get my card. The ROH posters make up a very small percentage of OCUK's customers.

Got my fx yesterday, it's a screamer, got a constant high pitch noise coming from the pump, us not lid enough to bother me but it is there. Dunno if I can be bothered with the whole returns thing.

FredFlint · 6 Aug 2015 at 12:24

I waited to get a Fury X in the hope that it would be fixed by now. I only got one as i wanted a liquid cooled card that was cool and quiet. I knew it was a risk but found one for much cheaper than the normal £550 price so got one. The card is not that loud but its high pitch sound is like a dentist drill, sometime i feel like ripping it out and putting my 290X back. AMD always manage to **** up the coolers :mad:

arcon33 · 6 Aug 2015 at 12:44

Bit gutted people are reporting the new batches still have the same problems I've held out and not gone for the 980ti but I might just give in now. Are the upcoming nanos reference only or are they allowed third part coolers? as this may be the best bet for those of us wanting a decent AMD aio cooled card

Where do we know hundreds sold?

OCUK seem to be selling the cards they are getting in, even with the supply and demand price hike. This may slow down sales of the card but I'm guessing they have no motivation to lower the cost as supply and choice is still very low, they may be waiting weeks between shipments.

I'm suspecting at this point that the Fury/FX is the dry run, they are still working on the manufacturing side of things and this is what we are getting in the meantime dribs and drabs and the next gen is the real target.

I'm amazed that defective pumps are still hitting the shelves, are CoolerMaster still sending them defective pumps?

How is the pump powered, from the card or a fan header? Has anyone tried powering it from a different source?

I don't see chewie posting here every day reiterating same stuff.
Firefox35, how long ago did you return yours? Are you still buying them and returning them right now? What is D.P. doing here reiterating other people's misfortunes? Itnis fair to note your problems, but man it gets very annoying when same person comes back a month or two after his issue and keeps talking about his issue which we already heard about.

That is irrelevant how long ago I returned mine, LoadsaMoney had a new one yesterday and it still has the problem, so obviously the issue remains and has not been fixed, how can new cards today still have the issue? probably because AMD couldn't organise a **** up in a brewery.

If the issue still exists no harm in warning potential buyers about the risk is there?

If you want to paypal me the £37 I am out of pocket I will quite happily stay out of this thread

If this thread only had Fury X owners post it would be off the first page in 10 minutes and soon be long gone

Ash0787 · 6 Aug 2015 at 13:23

Its a shame that on reddit in all of the amd related threads the popular comments are all extremlely positive and no mention of the whine problem,
saw one guy a few weeks backmthat did a fair critique of the card and got like 20 downvote or something, lot of amd fanboying going on there thats for certain.

I think he's a little simple or something

As they were faulty - why didn't you push for a refund of the return postage?

Did not know I could, I was told the cost of returning them is mine, don't think I am alone Chewie reckons he is £80 out of pocket which sounds about right having to return 4 cards :eek:

No, but it probably does translate that more TitanX's have been sold overall, it has been out a lot longer for a start.

That is how ALL surveys work, you poll a certain number of people and then attempt to extrapolate... in this case the survey shows that more people have bought TitanX's in the last 6 months than have bought Fury's in the last one and a bit.

Maybe the proportions are a little off, but I don't actually have a problem with that as a conclusion.

if the product is faulty it's the retailers responsibility to collect the card (or at the very least reimburse return costs)
returns are only at your cost if the product is not faulty and you just want to cancel the contract because you've changed your mind

if people aren't mentioning that they are returning faulty goods then these cards might be just going back to be repackaged and then sold on still faulty, so not surprised there are still so many in circulation
