The AMD R9 Fury X Review; Fiji Arrives. Comment Thread

I think he meant the VRMs, there's a bank of them on the back of the card that have no direct contact to the backplate.

DVI was declared legacy in 2010. It's 2015. I was likely one of the first to procure a Korean monitor, as I had to go through brokers before the explosion of availability through eBay, so in that regard mine has already seen plenty of use and needs replacement, but on the other hand I paid significantly more than most people as well.

I use that as an intro because I hold absolutely no sympathy for anyone who purposefully bought a DVI only monitor from Asia to save some money and now for some reason feels burned by AMD.

Yeah my monitor is DVI and I am still fine with ditching it. Everything except Hdmi and Displayport can go away...it's time to move on.
 
HDMI still has backward compatibility to DVI with an adapter doesn't it? I can see complaining if there wasn't an option that would connect to DVI at all, but adapters are relatively cheap.
 
The argument is the adapter won't reliably work with the 96hz+ overclocks people do with certain panels.

Unlike 3-4 years ago, 120hz+ panels are plentiful and available in various panel types and resolutions though, so again, no sympathy.

As I recall HDCP information is not transmitted through that kind of adapter though, so copy protected signals fail.

This may affect some, but probably a minute amount of people considering I dont know one person that worries about CP from a PC with so many ways to remove it...but yes, it is one more consideration I guess?

I'd also like to point out that the HDMI adapter you have linked won't do 1440P / 120Hz as it is not Dual Link compatible.

The point was more that they existed, and can be found on the cheap. If you'd like, I can perhaps link you to a let-me-google-that-for-you link for your viewing and purchasing pleasure? :whistle:

You're both kiling me. Picking at the minute of the argument and ignoring the 99% factual portion. The fact is is only HDMI+ is irrelevant, as are adapters since they exist for cheap.

You should both be politicians. :haha:

I have yet to see a fully supported HDMI 1.4 to DL-DVI adapter.

The only adapters that I have seen that support 2560x1600/60 are ACTIVE ($$$$) DisplayPort to DVI.
