The Fury X is finally upon us and we get a chance to see how the High Bandwidth Memory coupled to the latest Radeon GPU fares against the stiff competition.

I don't think they made it so small to show off, they made it small because that's all the size it needed to be because they didn't need to spread it out to fit the memory on it like they used to, from an engineering perspective and from a customers perspective there is no reason to make something bigger if it doesn't need to be.. it would just be a waste of material and a waste of money.
£509 on overclockers . but there is a £140 premium on the ones that are in stock

edit all sold out within 30min
and the 980ti is £509 this weeks only offer

Well im not as blown away as what i expected.
But its a good card! The fact it can out perform the 295X2 says alot, im hoping with drivers and Windows 10 this becomes a beast.
The card was all sold out in 6 minutes, i sadly never got my order in quick enough, but after reading the review, im happy to wait for a few weeks!

Watching on my lunchbreak, Great review so far with a haircut you could set your watch to.

Really wanted to see the overclocking headroom on this, wonder if the voltages will get unlocked so we can play around with it

Well seeing as the Titan X outperforms it in most things and REALLY outperforms it in others I might skip getting it and just stick with the Titan for the moment.

I've gone through about 3 reviews so far and my initial feeling is mehhhhhhh.
I didn't want a card that would slot between the competitions offerings, I wanted a card that would give Nvidia boys something to worry about.
£509 for the reference 980ti at OCUK, think my decision is crystal clear at this point.

I mixed feeling about this, it tick almost all the boxes but yet it still lose at raw power output. Hmm... Lets wait again for another 24 months.
But its a really good card I wont denied it.

Another cracking review Tom!
As for the card, it's performance is good and close to the GTX980Ti enough for me to say that it would be recommended by me for people who only buy AMD cards, but if someone wants the fastest single cored card then it's still going to be a GTX980Ti or Titan that gets recommended.
It's good though for AMD as they are getting more competitive with Nvidia in terms of performance alone at the top end again.

So it basically matches the 980Ti at a slightly lower price point which kind of continues with the "budget option" that AMD want to leave behind. Meh. I really really hope though that AMD is making a decent amount of money for every card sold and they can carry pushing forward.
It just isn't enough to tempt me away from Nvidia and sacrifice the small number of programs that I use which are CUDA only and use large amounts of Vram.

Just remember, it ain't over yet. AMD are going to have to drop the price again. Remember, at launch you could spend over a grand on a Titan X.. Now they're £799 which is still a massive urine extraction.
However, this is the price of cards that are really hard to make. Once AMD get the production lines going in full swing they will drop. Why? because today the 980ti dropped to £509, matching the Fury.
So that means AMD need to drop the price. However I will be fair and say that the equivalent liquid cooled 980ti costs £650.
It all depends on whether these cards can be overclocked. They definitely have all of the needed things. 2x8 pin? check. water cooler, check. And so on.
