The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

Sadly not everyone can have this neutral standpoint, Thing is people NEED to pick sides, It's pathetic I know but people generally are pathetic.

Kaap is fortunate enough like some people (and me, I admit) to own both. And not just both brands but high end versions of both brands. This tends to make you far more neutral.

I run a Titan Black @ 1080p in my lady's rig and I use a Fury X @ 4k in mine. Both are great rigs, both have more than enough brawn to get the job done.

But those who are less fortunate are then forced to pick a side, and of course human nature being what it is feel like they need to belong (leave me out of that, I'm autistic) and thus tend to join a side.

It harps all the way back to the playground days, where you either had a SNES or Megadrive or Atari ST or Amiga 500 or Sinclair Spectrum or C64.

Most people tend to grow out of it and not give a crap but I guess it just stays with some people. Maybe what I said about being fortunate to own both mixed with a little childishness is the answer?

I am brand biased. I think Nvidia suck and I prefer AMD but at the end of the day it's horses for courses and all that happy stuff. Same goes for CPUs. I don't particularly like Intel (in fact that's a huge understatement) but I will use them.
 
Unwinder posted this on the 11th (over on Guru) about getting sent a Nano to be able to sort the VC.

He should have it now so hopefully we'll get an update for AB soon.

its a Fury non X with a Fury x's AIO cooling

Wow I missed that, To think I bought a Fury pro to avoid the AIO cooler issues, Let's hope this doesn't suffer from them.

EDIT: Ahh it was a mistake they edited later, I don't see why anyone would not go for the full chip if going AIO.

If I could afford it I'd jump on one to try crossfire with my Tri-x and then once I tired of dual card issues I'd sell the Tri-x so that I had the full chip. It's really annoying that they didn't just have issue free Fury X's on release.
 
Any Fury/X owners using windows 10 and that are successfully playing DX11 games without a driver crash?

I'm using a Fury pro and Win 10 pro and have no problem with DX11 games. For example I play a lot of Call of Pripyat and the stand alone Call of Chernobyl both on DX11 and both are fine.

Are there any particular games you want me to test?


EDIT:

It seems some games are causing trouble, Shadow of Mordor seemed fine but about 5 minutes in I got killed and then when it went to the enemy combatant screen it all froze.

Mad Max and Dying Light are running fine.

AMD R9 Fury X Could Be Impacted by Liquid Cooling Lawsuit

Liquid cooler manufacturer Asetek, the company that supplies many of the industry's best-known coolers by Corsair, EVGA, and NZXT, saw victory in a patent infringement case against Cooler Master (CMI) in 2014. In that trial, the jury awarded Asetek a 14.5% royalty on all Cooler Master liquid coolers sold in the US.

I wonder if this will see the price of the Fury X raise or if AMD will swallow it?
 
Can't see either of those happening tbh. AMD will have had a contract with CoolerMaster for a set price, CoolerMaster will have to swallow the loss. Though tbh it only affects the US - which is not a small market but it's certainly not crippling for a global company like CM.
 
Worst thing that could happen is AMD will allow AIB partners to use their own cooling solutions.

This could lead to lower prices and higher availability leading to higher sales of the Fury X.
