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

Great review. I am just a bit dissappointed that it was beat by a hair by the GTX 980 TI on most benches. But I was surprised how it performed at 4k. All and all. I looks like a good win for AMD to finally get out of the trenches and charge forward. Hope when the drivers are matured that it will see more performance gains!!!!!
 
I read fast :)

I'm LOVING the price point.

I'm VERY concerned about the 1440p performance. How the hell does this thing shine at 4k against a TITAN, and fail against a 980 at 1440? Is this drivers, or architecture?

This card feels like a Bleeding edge 1st generation not-quite-there-yet test. I have a feeling the follow-up revision (490x? Fury 2 X?) will have a LOT more balls as AMD learns more about HBM and their architecture. Which leads me to my next point: As a guy who games currently at 1440p, and wants to upgrade from a 970 to this or a 980ti...What do I do? I'll say, this card has me debating holding off for some driver updates, or remake, or price drop of the 980ti, or...

Sigh. This didnt make my choices any easier. Stupid AMD. :haha:
 
Any plans on running compute benchmarks on the Fury X? Would appreciate a follow-up when retail samples begin shipping to see how much the new pump bearing design affects noise levels.
 
I would love to get this card. If I was single and had no major bills like a house mortgage and car payment. etc. I would have 2 of these just for the fun of it. lol. But I am happy to see AMD competing again. Hope next year that we will see HBM on all the upper half of their cards!!!
