The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

muziqaz said:
So in past couple of days was toying around with luxmark 3.1.
And since I had some time, and was brainfarting, I thought hey let's push one of the cards to the limit.
Final GPU clock(through CCC) 1197Mhz with obviously stock volts and +50% power limit (power limit +35% crashed the drivers during one of the runs). End results:couple of best results in luxmark leaderboards, and coming quite close to superclocked 980ti (ran in linux). Though it has been reported, that nvidia's new suggested compiler options and optimisations are causing some artifacting in real world rendering, but they pass the 3 scenes in benchmark, so have no problem with that.
I was experiencing quite a bit of throttling, I am suspecting VRM, since the GPU itself was under 60C all the time. I do remember someone theorize that VRM cooling might not be perfect (bad contact or something). I kinda agree with it, but future will tell how it is. Because clock scaling was not the best. Also, clocking fury x, now is a bit easier, I mean it clocks a bit higher. During 1st weeks of testing I could stably run only 1113Mhz. Now I see myself clocking GPU to 1129-30Mhz range. Not a lot, but still. Maybe it is colder weather, drivers, or something else.

But I guess TLDR, let's get back to usual 10 year old stand up comedy central ;)

For best results on the Fury X you need to keep the temps as low as possible as they are very sensitive to heat. Going from the stock cooler to a custom waterblock gave me an extra 20 to 30mhz (1140mhz to 1150mhz) on each card. My cards now run at 36c when they are flat out. Have you ever noticed how the non Fury X with an air cooler overclocks worse than the Fury X despite having less active silicon. I think it is all down to temps of the GPU core.

Yea I noticed that too I get artifacts even when the temp are still very low (60-70 I think) if I try to go over 1100mhz core.

yes, I noticed that. with every such session (which unfortunately I have less and less) I learn more about behavior of fiji.
regarding the heat, I still believe that VRMs are the cause of it. And your clocks of 1140-1150Mhz are already great for stock volts with such big GPU. I remember I was never able to clock my 290x to 1100Mhz on stock volts, even though I had quite good arctic cooling extreme cooler.
I will be going custom water probably next month, when I finally manage to gather all the info on fittings and pumps and tubes and other crap from EKWB ;) So it should give some more room to play around
 
A friend of mine ordered an air cooled fury (non x) from a danish retailer and got a fury x :P water cooled and all.. He has never been this happy.. never been so few complaints from him as there is now.. It just works for him. Should note that he can kill anything..i wouldnt let him near my pc :P

so unappealing and impossible to sell fury x is again out of stock :/

Who called it that?

It's a great card it just had a rubbish release due to someone's incompetence,

ie: not letting manufacturers offer air cooled versions, allowing the first batch to be released with faulty pumps and then trying to lie about just how widespread the faulty stock supply was.

I don't think the pumps where faulty, they just made more noise than people expected. Once it became a big issues people just became hyper sensitive to it. Also when i installed mine it was loud but after moving the radiator about it got most of the air out of the pump, its now much quieter.

Always the way - get a new monitor release and 1-2 people have bad backlight bleed then suddenly everyone buying it is hyper sensitive to backlight bleed :S

AIO pumps in my experience are often hit and miss - I've fitted a few corsairs to people's systems and had a huge variation in levels of pump noise without them being faulty - my antec was hideous whereas one of my older AIOs was dead silent and my swiftech kit very quiet.

If you don't know why air cooled versions were not allowed, then you obviously didn't read the reviews.
