To be fair they should really limit stock to maximum of 2 per paying customer... otherwise we see things like one customer with 4 and one with NOTHING, which really isn't fair at all.

Good idea and personally think for the first week or so this should be put in place but then there would be people moaning that they can only spend a measly £1200 on GPU's ergo we enter anorak territory

I tell you what. If OCuk limit stock (they wont) then I'll personally give up my FuryX order to someone else

Look AMD like to do things in reverse, OK!

Bet Matts had 4 for weeks. Surely you get given them? Just being polite so folk don't ask questions before NDA lifts. Won't be mashing f5 today though got the £ want to see benches first. Take bets on which site has 1st review up? Videocardz I reckon. Where will you guys look first?

My concern with amd and this review nda feels a little off. If something doesn't feel right, it normally isn't right. It's a bit like game DEVS not allowing reviews to go out before release of a game. In the last year or so, we've seen in a lot of those cases, the game has been pretty poor. To me, this feels similar, are AMD just hoping they can shift masses of cards on hype alone. I want one as I'm moving from older cards than a lot of you, but I'm not prepared to get caught up in obvious price gouging from retailers on a product what have yet to see the full SP on. Hate analogys and all that, but do we ever buy something expensive without trying it on, driving it, using it, playing it etc?? If they are over £600 today, I'll sit back and watch how things go.

Some bench marks out last night seem to support your concern

Yup of course he gets them given to him...

I would like to know if he's tried the new Batman game. 6GB memory usage is being reported and it seems only the 980 Ti and Titan X's can handle it (my SLI 980 system drops massively when driving).. so how does the 4GB Fury X hold up?

You can't say that and then not link to proof...

From what I have seen it doesn't look like something you can ditch easily and there are no waterblocks for the cards yet anyways. Also I don't want to buy another monitor... I'm happy with the one I have which my wife bought be for Christmas.

I've also just spent 4k on a build... you can see some of the stuff I bought on the watercooling forum here! I'll post a full list and pictures when it all arrives. Most will be here this week and some will be here when OCuk get their arses into gear and get the stock in

what would you need a waterblock for ? the AMD loop, cools memory, chip and VRMs if am not mistaken.

And how would I connect my tubing to it?

I get a lot of free hardware for sure, but I've paid for 4x Fury X out of my own pocket.

So why did you have to pay for the Fury X and not the other stuff? I believe you I'm just wondering what changed?

Josh · 24 Jun 2015 at 08:08

I just want to see the Fury X vs the 980Ti in 1080p and 1440p benchmarks. Think a lot of people are waiting for the same thing.

Good luck all trying to get one today, may your F5 key remain unbroken and your wallets be empty come 13:02pm. For those who are about to step blindly into the beyond - we salute you.

Hope they are cracking cards though!

lol that i wouldn't know, never had a loop setup as i said before but here are some pics of FuryX teardown, to see what can be done

Exactly. There isn't a way currently you can mess with that. Everything looks pretty much soldiered into place... The only way is to buy the normal Fury and take the fans off and put a waterblock on it...

And who did you buy them from? AMD at a discount?

No, that is the point, you couldn't without ruining the stock cooler meaning you wouldn't be able to refit it later in case of warranty or resale

Corrected, again. Thanks.
