The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

Jasonst888 said:
Well I had enough and sent mine back. It is an amazing card with cracking cooling but it is just to noisey. Would trade silence at idle for noise at load when I am surfing the internet with the headphones off the constant droning is silly. Never had any aio that was so noisey. (Should note I am making a mountain out of a mole hill and I am not saying that the fury x is really all that loud...just in a system that is otherwise silent it sticks out like a sore thumb!)

This is why I love my G1 Ti, complete silence at idle is a decent enough trade off for a bit of noise at load (when I'm either wearing a headset or the speakers are turned up loud) :D

As was said above (to me), when you're just surfing, and in your case, not wearing your headphones while doing it, thats not AMDs fault :D

:p

I get your point and I don't entirely disagree but with so many of the 980tis having zero fan mode at idle it is clear that Nvidia and its partners at least note that people value silence at idle. It is a shame that such a brilliant card in almost every way is marred by something so tiny, yet to me at least very noticeable. That being said for most builds I would have no hesitation recommending the fury x.
 
Nvidia shouldn't have zero fan mode on their cards at idle though, as when people are just surfing the net, its not their fault people don't have their Tvs, stereos etc... on, blasting at high volume, or even wearing headphones while they're doing it, so they wont hear their cards going. :p

If its about 3am, and your neighbours start braying on your door, as you have your stereo on full volume, just tell them to *******, as you're browsing the net, if you turn your stereo down/off, you'll hear your gfx card!

They have not stated it would be silent. Not to my knowledge anyway. There is an assumption that a hybrid model card will be quieter but pump noise seems to be a standard issue with all such cards....some worse some better.
 
It can be, that is the point. AIOs are variable, some louder than others. The retailers know this and therefore they often don't accept RMAs based on noise unless it is excessive or out of the ordinary.
 
SAPPHIRE R9 Fury Pro is silent when idle and very quiet under extended heavy load. Give or take a few percent, at a fan speed of 20% the card wont go over 75c

PC's provide more than just gaming. People don't want noisy Idling frequencies like the Fury X 247. We use our Rigs for gaming, work, and entertainment. Try doing your school work/office work with your Mum/Mrs hovering in the same room. It just doesn't work, you can't concentrate. for me the Fury X high frequency pitched whine while idling was to much to handle.. I couldn't stay in the room for more than an hour.
 
As noisy? definitely not. As annoying? absolutely if like me you get a card which has that disturbing high pitch sound.

None of the four cards I had were noisy loud if you see what I mean, but the tone/frequency of that high pitch sound they had was just unbearable. At least to my ears.

Fury x as noisy as a vacuum cleaner, seriously?

My second fury X sounded abit like a vacuum cleaner :p
If my computer room door was open. With my case door shut I could hear my Fury X two bedrooms down. Sadly I can't prove this as I've sent it back but you can listen to the Fury X I purchased with the case door open if you search some of my previous posts as I added a video.
Of course not all Fury X are noisy but a high percentage of the cards available have the high pitch whine and it's that frequency that's most annoying.

Looks like your nearly set on it lol. Tbh if your planning on getting 2 nobody can really argue that your better off with a 980ti unless your worried about the whole memory thing. You can always try a bios flash but personally I'm not too bothered about the extra 3/5fps since what im playing is running smoothly anyway.

How so ? can 2 980ti not beat 2 fury x ?

AMD scale much better than nVidia. And tbh if you're planning on multi-gpu with either card, you're probably running 4k - at which the Fury X is better than the Ti anyway -- so it's a double whammy with better base performance and then better scaling on top.

Depends what games you play;

I know matt has done a good job "proving" furyx scaling in Dirt3, but not everyone plays just that game

Errm, what? the Fury X is no doubt more competitive at 4K than it is at lower resolutions but it still loses out to the 980Ti in most cases at 4K, compounded by the contrast in overclocking capability.

Plus, would'nt go near 4GB for 4K you're better off with tri or quad 390/390X if Crossfire is on the cards.
