The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

Some information from unwinder regarding the fury x voltage unlock, he's still waiting for a card I believe (I'd have thought they would have sent him one on release but sadly not!).

"It is not a question of "strange decision by AMD" at all. It is a question of very limited AMD ADL API. NVIDIA cards simply have unified GPIO/VID based voltage control functions inside NVAPI, so it is very easy and fast to support voltage control on new cards (within driver allowed voltage control range of course) or even provide voltage control for future cards without even seeing them.

It doesn't apply to AMD. To support voltage control on new cards developers first need to implement low-level I2C aceess support for each new GPI family (which can be troublesome for new GPU architecture), then provide support for each new voltage controller model. That's not the task that can be done without hardware."

greggster Im looking forward to yours and kappstads thoughts on the fury x, even though you have an obvious bias towards NVidia I thought your review of the 290x was fair

I always try to be as fair as possible bud and I love hardware regardless of vendor. I just wish AMD did ShadowPlay, as that is so easy to work with but a capture card is the best, as it doesn't come at a cost to performance, so will show fairly what is what on both AMD and Nvidia.

My 4K capture card will do the job nicely :)
 
To those who still claim that DX12 will give just as much of a boost to NVIDIA / Maxwell / Maxwell2 as GCN / Fiji, or some of you even claiming it'll give more of a boost than for GCN ... here's the first review with DX12 driver overhead tests. NVIDIA wins easily in DX11, but gets absolutely pasted in DX12.

This replicates the results that were so evident with initial W10 drivers (which people claimed wouldn't be the case closer to launch).

Gap has widened if anything.
 
Or just save little money and use Raptr for AMD and ShadowPlay for Nvidia.

But in saying that a capture card in doing what he is doing full time Youtube is prob the best way to go anyways in the long run. and it should give better fair results.

Greg are you capture to a second capture PC? or you be using it on the PC you game on? If so just a little heads up that Capture cards tend to hit your SSD or HDD very hard.

Out of interest, Greg, why would someone need a capture card if one records with, say, ShadowPlay (or whatever)? Are they expensive (capture cards)? :)

There is a performance hit of around 2% with ShadowPlay and no idea what the AMD thingy is in performance terms but there best way with no performance hit is a dedicated capture card. HiVizMan sent my a 1080P one but I want to record at 1440P and there is just no way around it other than getting a new card.

The one I have coming is a Blackmagic Design PCI Express Intensity Pro 4K and that will cover me even if I go 4K again. Not to bad in price either and was £164.

I have a Blackmagic capture card coming and will be recording gameplay when my Fury X gets here. I will be recording the same runs on my Titan X and my Fury X and then split screening the runs with Vegas to show what is what on each card. I am expecting good things from the Fury X :cool:

Oh you bought one? cool man. :cool:

I've very loosely started saving for two now. Thing is even if I had the cash to jump right now it would be daft, because price will drop soon enough.

No probs and amazing that ShadowPlay is far more versatile than even the expensive capture cards out there. I didn't see any of them offer 1440P 60 fps, let alone 4K 60 fps :D

I could talk all day about this sort of thing (really, I'm still getting my feet wet - so to speak). That said, I'd better leave it for another time as it isn't thread related. Ta. :)

Interesting, ive got a 5930K @ 3.8GHz, and with my 290X at 1080/1250, i get a score around 10785 in FS. :p
