The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

5 finger discount :p.

Looking forward to a reviewer I know putting some benches online rather than a Thailand site I've never heard of :D.

I still have hope!

Price gauging is a part of commercialism I'm afraid. If you can't beat them, join them! Buy some OCUK price gauged stock then sell on ebay for silly ebay prices like the EVGA 980 Ti hydro Copper which is going for over 1k on ebay, 750 here and 630 from EVGA.

Not all retailers do that, watch the competition today and judge for yourself.
 
Im sorry for my lack of knowledge but why should we buy this card when it has 4gb memory, surely that's not enough with todays games?
Sorry I really haven't followed this card, so is the memory different some how?

Its HBM memory which works differently as it's higher bandwidth, but we're all still at a loss as to how this works out to better than more memory... I think the short answer is that is doesn't. If you want to run a game that uses 6GB of RAM (looking at 4k games I guess) then having 4GB high bandwidth memory doesn't fix that problem.

the same reason you wouldn't buy a GDDR3 card instead of GDDR5, add to that noise, temp, perf, price, size, looks, why wouldn't you really! for 2 extra Go, you wont need in 95% of the time... thats my opinion anyway

Are you gaming at 4k? Then definitely wait and see what happens. Arkham Knight pegs me at 4gb vram, but AMD are claiming their compression tactics and speedy memory transfer will allow them to not have an issue. 4gb HBM supposedly works similar to around 5gb - 8gb gddr5 equivalent.

(all rumors at this point).

You'll know this afternoon! :D

So if you like to play games at high settings your pretty screwed, it seems to be a midrange card at best then. It advertises 4k users but I think that's a bit misleading?

Who is this card aimed at for?

Well my 980 SLI setup (4GB) plays most games at 4k, because most games don't really utilize more than that at the moment. The recent batman game DOES use more than 4GB as it's poorly optimised and not because its graphically intensive.

Considering I've seen some games use upwards of 8GB at 4K, Probably because it's available not because it needs it but still I'm having my doubts about 4GB on the Fury X being enough.

AMD are probably just bringing this out because Nvidia are skipping HBM1 and going straight to HBM2 so want to be the only vendor out with an HBM card even if it's not totally up to snuff.
