The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

[spikerules]

Probably just his opinion. We all have one.

IMO he's talking sense... yes it would have been nice for a bigger gap between 980 Ti and Fury X, but I believe the pro's are too good to ignore.

I don't understand how with everyone making HBM such a huge deal that it fails to deliver in benchmarks.

Overclocking regular DDR5 doesn't result in significant gains outside of synthetic benchmarks. I don't think memory bandwidth is a great bottleneck yet.

However, HBM is definitely the future, once we have GPUs that can process data fast enough to properly leverage the bandwidth.

I'll be buying one who every shows up first at around £500.. couple weeks I guess.

I just want the smaller form factor, quite and cool running PC. I dont care if a 980ti is 5/10fps faster in a game. means nothing to me..

All personal opinions here..

 

[chroniclard]

No rush for me, will wait and see if drivers and software can improve performance/overclocking. If not will go for a Ti.

 

[spikerules]

Just phoned the company I bought two from wondering why no delivery yet and they told me they screwed up and don't have allocation for the orders that went through! So I canceled...

Somehow i see the roll of honour in this thread being pretty small =/

Not sure its a honour if they paid the inflated asking, I definitely would not want to brag

Ehh what an anti climax..

Glad I've got a G1 980ti now.

I don't understand how with everyone making HBM such a huge deal that it fails to deliver in benchmarks.

Unless with new drivers and potential overclocking makes the Fury leap ahead of the 980ti

Might be possible

That card cost you how much more than the fury?

I dont see why people are sayings its worse than the 980TI, from what i can see the performance is much the same.

BUT you get DX stuff thats 980TI doesnt have, You get a 3" shorter PCB, You get a Watercooled card.

All these are a Bonus and things i would rather have... Saves me £100 on an EK waterblock for a 980TI.

The 290x has more (games usable) vram, and is faster than the 970 at 2560 and 4K, and trade blows with it at 1920 res, yet people on this forum still insisting passing around that the 970 is faster than the 290x, so it's not really that difficult to understand why people would tend to big up the advantage of Nvidia and slight disadvantage of AMD...it is a simple habit

Funny enough nobody wants to bring up that two reference 980Ti in a case will be loud as hell, and SLI 980Ti on MicroATX is not really an option except for going for proper watercooling People can stick two Fury X in MicroATX case such as Phanteks Enthoo Evolv, but two 980Ti is not really an option unless going full water.

 

[old gamer]

i remember reading the same dissapointing posts when the 7970 launched, then when it got decent drivers it was a whole new ball game

 

[theor14]

At least we have duel bios as I imagine ill be tinkering a lot for a voltage boost.

 

[balth_dire]

I don't wish to fan any flames and in spite of the underwhelming truth I do believe the Fury is a both a marvel of engineering and a worthy performer (at the intended price). Nevertheless, in hindsight, this piece of reckless rabble rousing makes for rather poignant reading...

"These results were provided by AMD, although I have no reason to believe that they are in any way disingenuous or inaccurate. In fact I was quite surprised by the selection of games AMD had chosen, many of which are Nvidia optimized titles. Yet the R9 Fury X comes out on top in every single one of them, although in a number of games the result is much closer to a tie. And based on what we know of the 980 Ti’s and Titan X’s performance, substituting the 980 Ti with a Titan X will not do much to close the gap. Granted the Titan X will edge out Fury X in a handful of the tested games, but that’s not going to be enough to change the outcome.Fury X would still end up with more wins than losses."

I think everyone should just stop bloody moaning and appreciate what they already have!

Only kidding

On a serious note... I'm coming from a GTX 770 and moving upto 1440p. So at the same price, a 980Ti would be the better choice right?

I dunno, a Fury X and a 1440p Freesync screen could offer a significant saving over a Ti and GSync screen.

Great thread Kaap.

I'll be joining the club, when i get my hands on a one

Im afraid i wont be joining afterall

 

[Greebo]

What results have you been looking at? 980Ti is ahead by avg and min fps quite a bit in 1080p and 1440p from what i can see, it's only close at 4k.

Cause im looking at 4k.

I already have enough gpu power from the last gen for 1080p and 1440p

And Nvidia users instead of bashing Fury X, they should be thanking AMD that 980Ti is at a price point that they can actually consider buying (£500~ instead of £650-£750)

Where are you getting these prices from lol. i swear every day card prices in these threads magically increase..

Didn't you just recently buy a Freesync monitor?

 

[crasherkid]

980Ti's down to £509 now.
