Trolls will continue to troll
Fury X is a great card, however I'm waiting for something like the Nano to come out, that should be an even bigger steal.

I have not read most of this thread but as an NVidia user I don't have a problem with negative comments as long as they are based in fact.
A good example of the above is the latest Batman game where one of the first things you see is the letters TWIMTBP and when the game runs you find out it is a total mess. People need to hold NV or AMD to account when they get it wrong but this is different to being blindly brand loyal.
I would like to type some more but I need some more Bacardi !!!

Same with AMD, only problem is that it is AMD and people nearly all view AMD as a joke. So more often than not it's based off nothing but stereotyping (can't think of a better word) their past and applying it to now.
Honestly imo the Fury X was designed to beat the 980 and give the TX a run for it's money in regards to price/performance. I also think they achieved that but it was sort of overhyped into beating a TX and Nvidia getting the 980ti out the door so quickly aided into making it seem little less worthy of the value it actually holds. It can give the 980ti a run for it's money as it's right on the heels of it, so while it was intended originally for that, it sort of worked out for AMD. The only thing I wish they changed with Fury X is unlocked voltage control or at least limit it and give a reason why it is limited. No other issues that irk me with it, it's a great product and should help aid them in market share no doubt.

I have not yet seen the video, but since I can now see this card coming in at the same price as the EVGA 980Ti card I got (only 1 or 2 that are cheaper), I got the 980Ti.
For a number of reasons, but won't say them here as it's no point. But 2 major that were for me is the AIO, I don't like them. Don't like the look of it nor does it go well in my case. And I like the look of Nvidia's reference and the major part, it's blower style. All the heat goes out the back.
So it was a no brainer for me... since this is my final purchase for my PC now, since I will use this for a few years now, I went a bit hard on the money (I've been using an 6950 since 2012).
Will look at the review later on today
And also good on you Feronix for stepping in on the out of topic part... I'm no better at it, but I don't get how almost every thread goes out of subject lol.
Saying opinions etc is everyone's right, but being so picky about things that other people say and always trying to be right, just isn't worth it in my opinion... and trust me, I've been one of those people that were really keen on it.
Anyway, hope that those who get this card will be happy with it
Good to see AMD getting on the market again, hope it will do them good this time around

I was really looking forward to see what this card could do, and I was hoping it would be able to at least equal a TX (not because I am an AMD fanboy (I currently have a 780Ti) but because competition is good for us users). I think I will stick with what I've got for now, as it is good enough for me, and see what the next gen of both AMD and nVidia have to offer.

"I think AMD is literally ran by millions of seagulls."
Look, a wrong opinion. What you think about something can be wrong, so try to be open to the fact that what you think isn't always right and some people may point that out. Again, stop being allergic to criticism. AMD has released a card that is "fine". Nothing more, nothing less. Drivers will not fix it. AMD drivers at any rate tend to be problematic so to expect them to be a solution is nuts. I think the Fury may be more promising but again it depends on price point and from what I can see, AMD are priced around £50 too high from the 390 upwards.

So how will new drivers NOT fix the issue :cussing:

For the love of god peeps, can we just please stop picking on each others opinions?... Everyone is entitled to their opinions yes, not saying anything about that. But the more anyone starts to question that or comment on that, the deeper that discussion goes and therefore more away from the actual subject of the thread. Which is about the review of the AMD R9 Fury Review itself.

But neither is how a company's products performs. There are plenty of ways of measuring this - benchmarks being the best one, as well as driver support etc. To claim that Nvidia are a crap company is based on nothing uptodate or factual. The benchmarks clearly support this, and their pricing is very competitive. To say it's relative whether Nvidia are crap or not simply is not true if we are talking about their GPU's. If we are talking about something like managing holiday time in their HR staff, well I think that'd be a metric far harder to argue, but that isn't what is being said...
Considering AMD have tried to meet the 980Ti price range, I think this is a good example that market pricing is very healthy and hopefully the 980Ti and Fury X pricing will float together.
I think one thing that needs to happen is allowing Fury X to be OC'd as they promised and I don't know if drivers can do that, plus I think it may be reasonable to assume that drivers may only give a few frames bump in games rather than pushing it into the zone of equaling or besting the Ti. Also if AMD can improve frames, doesn't it only make sense to think Nvidia could do the same?

That one?
You can stop with that police state malarky right now. As for the heavy handed mods youve been given a lot of leyway and Ive personally tried to make sure everything has been spot on. So dont start pushing those buttons fella.
