I'm kind of neutral on it to be honest, Just looks like a shorter version of the 295X2 to me.

HBM gives quite a big power reduction. It was the only way AMD could release sub-300W cards that compete with NVIDIA on performance.

Yeah totally, because GTX980 level performance for the same power draw 8 months later is really impressive.

Now the Nano might be worth a look!

I doubt it's quite 980 performance though...

There's one review that's live, but the site is getting hammered hard. Hopefully it'll be back up soon
Doesn't put the Fury in a good light I'm afraid.

Looks like they've removed it due to the hammering!! Was it good-bad or just bad-bad? Trading blows with the 980Ti?
Imo Fury X will shine in DX12 more than 11, looks to be made for it!

In my experience yes, I found owning the 295x2 a very very frustrating experience, I was constantly waiting for drivers for new releases and when they were released they were poorly optimised meaning I spent most the time tinkering in settings trying to find a compromise rather than playing any games.
Never again will I go crossfire, single card driver support is not too bad.

Agreed, I got pretty frustrated with my 295x2 too (esp once I moved onto late 2014/2015 games!
).Had hardly any probs with my 980's and they clock REALLY well (score roughly the same as a stock 980Ti SLi setup
)I think AMD will have a *lot* easier time with DX12, mainly due to the API being built with mGPU in mind
(and my guess is that they've been concentrating on their Win10 drivers for a fair while now and neglecting DX11 ones...)

If you make your own software a world standard I guess so
Yup, I enjoyed all the evidence for this that you posted in the last Fury thread. Thank you so much for all the multiple links of official statements regarding this....

I've not got them yet!
The sig will need updating soon though.
And the case - how do you mount 4 radiators - or is it very ghetto/just on the desk until the duallie comes out ?

I think it's a fantastic looking card. Happy that they have decided to stop "we haz the longest card" nonsense. I bought an expensive motherboard so I can see it in all its black and red glory! Not to be covered up by a foot long grahpics card.
Has there been a confirmed price yet btw?

As much as I'd like to join this club, I'll be waiting for Fury X MKII next year, with 8GB.

Well, that's because, you know, it doesn't go on sale, nor does the NDA get lifted until 1PM in the UK!
