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

Could you please confirm the power consumption chart? The text says Unigine Valley but the graphic shows Hitman Absolution.

Your figures show a contrary result vs. Bit-Tech and HotHardware who show the Fury using more power than the Fury X.

Yep, lets see what happens. Gotta love that massive cooler but still, the max oc headroom is a bit of a letdown.

I was also wondering why O/C room is so limited. Maybe it's how HBM works. But, AMD touted how you could O/C the hell out of the Fury X. And then we saw the results of that statement. Could be a software/driver limitation? Wo knows. I hope when we get HBM 2 that it will be better then this!!!
 
It is almost as fast as the Fury X, and most of the speed difference is in the clockspeeds.

To me this suggests that the hypothesis that the Fury X needed 96 ROPs and 12 ACEs seems to be correct.

I think the core of the chips is still voltage locked.

OC-ing the RAM won't do you much good anyways, so I'm not too worried about that.

Taking bets on how long till someone tries the software flash Fury X bios on to the Fury. Over Under currently at 3 hours. :haha:

I would hesitate to guess that the reference PCBs can be flashed. The custom ones though might be harder.

Also, another guess I will venture is that overclocks of perhaps 1200-1300 MHz are possible once the BIOS is voltage - unlocked, based on OC's of the 290X, which has a similar power consumption. Sadly that means though the 980Ti is still the faster card. :angry2:

Crossfire though at 4k might be different, where the Fury has the VRAM.
 
Taking this and the HardOCP reviews together I'm underwhelmed again.
I think my favourite part part of the review was this, "Drivers should be a solution, not an excuse."
Great quote Sky, so very true. I keep hoping to see a driver come out that'll increase Fury performance by 15-20%.
