It's about time you dropped the FX. Hopefully you can get no more problems and back to GTAV

I'm actually waiting for a few decent freesync 3440x1440 monitors.. Considering ridding myself of the 4k and going 1440 wide, but I'll wait till there's some decent freesync monitors in both categories and see for myself which way I prefer. My 4k is fine 'n all but I can't help but feel it'd be better with freesync :/
That first review is gonna draw some mad hate from the greenies though, benching against a 980 and not a Ti, not even a super overclocked Ti!!! MADNESS!!!! (though I think skipping the Ti altogether is poor form)
And that second review -- All green SLi options but no Fury xfire? O.o What?

Not at all, if anything that review makes the GTX980 look like a good buget buy as it's only single digit fps behind a FuryX lol
and in Thief and Hitman (both AMD titles) at 1080p the GTX980 is actually ahead of the FuryX O.o
makes the FuryX look like a really poor option for most gamers

Well bugger me silly.
When I played Far Cry 4 @ ultra detail on my Titan Black SLI set up it used to stutter like silly. I know at first it did not support SLI but my FPS were telling me it did, it just didn't work properly (game all updated etc).
Any way so far I have put in about five hours and it runs absolutely beautifully on one Fury X, ultra detail. I am getting 40-60 FPS depending on scene, sometimes as low as 34 but all completely smooth and stutter free.
I'm also amazed at how well Witcher 3 runs. Again, tried this on TB SLI and it ran anywhere between 34-45 FPS but it wasn't smooth. It's hard to explain but I was not getting stutter, it just did not feel smooth at all and was very jerky.
This was on mostly medium settings with high where I dare..
Now on one Fury X I am getting low 30s to mid 40s but on high and even though the FPS counts are low I am not getting any stutter nor am I getting the jerky motion. And this is without G-Sync so I am beginning to wonder if it was actually G-sync causing the flickery feel to the game?
Either way I must again laud AMD. This is one heck of a good card they've produced for 4k.

lol what a delusional bitter little man you are. People who have the luxury to explore multiple purchases make decisions based on their own conclusions. It doesn't take a lot of brain influence that based on current marketshare, user preference is becoming one sided. Not to mention coming from someone who posted a picture of a TITAN-X box and card and has never once posted a single result or benchmark, least of all an opinion - your own conclusion is incredibly rich.

Spot on. I was genuinely disappointed with the performance and questioned if I was doing something wrong after comparing frames with my TX. I feel it is a fairer option to pit it against a 980, as the Ti and TX are so far ahead.
Soldato
Ah I only looked at the 4k part where the Fury was significantly ahead.. I don't even look at lower resolutions anymore as it doesn't concern me :S
But yeah, everyone knows the 980 + Ti are better options at lower resolutions so that bench only further shows that if you look at it that way.
Soldato
It's not like any one of those games is unplayable at 1080p.
Soldato
No this is true, but people are obsessed with numbers and what 'wins'.
All very silly.

Its like:
Fury is slower at 1080p but keeps up at 4K->who cares for 4K, barely a few using it anyway -> lame AMD
Fury don't have HDMI 2.0-> But everyone uses 4K now -> lame AMD

Some people simply have to make themselves feel good about what they bought. The easiest way to do this of course is to berate the product you didn't buy.
Some just complain because they can't afford any of them, others just because they are bitter.
Whatevs. I absolutely love mine and at 4k (where it is supposed to be for those who don't understand the card) it's absolutely marvelous.
Soldato
More people defending it as not been a issue than people making it an issue. Quite ironic really
One thing I absolutely and utterly hate as an AMD CPU and GPU owner (my two main rigs run a 6 and 8 core Intel, mind) is the hate you get every time you log onto a forum.
I know there has been mention of AMD being in there with Microsoft but they have done that for years ! if it wasn't for AMD badgering them there would be no 64 bit operating systems.. So Windows 7 did not support the FX series? make bloody sure Windows 8 does. And the performance gains in things that support threads when you hop from Win 7 to Win 8 are quite remarkable. I got a good 15% more out of my CPU in Windows 8.
For an absolute age I ran a 8 core FX. I decided to skip Ivybridge I5s and Haswell and just go with an 8320. With a 7990 it made for a fine gaming rig and I was really happy with it.
But it's the same with the CPUs as it is with the GPUs. People just gotta log in and put some hate out there. *sigh*.
I absolutely love my Fury X. It's enabled me to game at 4k with pretty much no stress or caveats and I can't say how happy I am with it.

Budget. 4K desktop gamers are probably more likely to also be thinking of getting a 4K TV, 1080p gamers probably want the best card for their money.
It obviously depends what someone's objectives are, but leaving out hdmi2.0 and (more importantly) not optimising for 1080p are obviously going to limit the Fury's market appeal.
Its not that hdmi2.0 would boost sales massively, it just beggars belief that you would advertise a card as being perfect for htpc and 4k and then not include it
@Andy, its not hate, its criticism, if you cant handle people criticising your new pet corporation then maybe forums aren't for you

andybird, so you are saying that person who can afford 980ti and fury x cannot afford 4k panel? Or are you saying that people who can afford fury x and 980ti are too stupid to enable dsr/vsr in their driver panels and enjoy 1440p/4k without expensive 4k monitors.
I am on 50inch 1080p TV and am enjoying 4k gaming through hdmi 1.4 at 60+fps.
And for the love of **** can we have some ******* patience in regards to driver optimizations??????? Brand new card comes out with huge amount of shaders, new mem controller and memory system and people straight away are expecting AMD to have everything using 100% of potential. Look at 'rebranded' 300 series. How long ago 290x was released? And we still got huge boost in performance equaling 980gtx with a bit faster vram, and mild clock increase and new driver. Do we forget, that 980gtx was in the league of its own just several months ago, and then comes rebranded 390x and 980gtx suddenly has a competitor. what is not to say that AMD is working heavily on omega drivers for fiji? For a moment we have a card which is fast enough on 1080p beyond the point where anyone would ever care, we have great card for 1440p and we have very competitive card for 4k. I am sure if you manage to calm down your inner e-penis, you will be fine till that omega or other perf improving driver hits the streets. It is not like fiji is waaaay behind everyone :/

Lol VSR isn't the same thing as running native 4K, not even close. So you're not enjoying 4K gaming on your 50 HDTV. You're just kidding yourself, and jumping into a never ending line of people who'd take a bullet for AMD.
I can't even use VSR, because that'd require AMD to actually care about reaching parity with Nvidia in software.
Fury X is a great 4K performer (I still think overall the card's a bit "meh"), but the lack of HDMI 2 is just AMD once again playing amateur hour.
Fury X currently fits into a niche, of those running 4K on Display Port, and for those people it's probably the best single GPU available. But for a flagship, it falls short of overall expectations. But once again, AMD get a free pass from the typical fanboys.
And the GTX980 was never *that* powerful. The 390X reaching nigh on parity is nothing special to me (Because I never found the 980 to be anything special). To me, they're all disappointing.
I'm sticking to my 290X, because I feel that everything bar the 980Ti would almost be a waste of time, and I have no interest in buying a 980Ti.
I'm waiting until the die shrink now.

Well it definitely gets a pass from me, because I run 4k on DP 
As for giving nVidia VSR - **** nVidia, they lock down their tech tighter than a duck's ass and share nothing with AMD or anyone else that doesn't pay mad dollar.

Why would amd give vsr to Nvidia?. I though vsr was dsr but late and with less overall support
