Do we know the difference between the Fury and Fury X - is it just the cooler, air vs water?
For those with tiny miniITX cases may have difficulty with the Fury X and instead opt for the regular Fury - I'm thinking of the Node 304 as an example.
Or you know, up to about 2 weeks ago there was no way to play in 4k without spending 1000$ on a card. I have a 4k TV and I want to upgrade to 4k gaming in the near future. I'm sure there are others like me who have finally seen the price barrier drop to acceptable levels. However, no hdmi 2.0 pretty much limits us to Nvidia cards. It's not about what the demo was when price of entry s too high, it's about how many people want to jump in now and the near future, and they'll probably not go to amd.
What's the ETA? And do they have the Fury up for pre-order too?Already available in Spain (at least for preorder) at 680, better than I expected. Reference 980ti is ~720 here.
Here's more benches from Digital Storm. It also features the first Crossfire benchmarks as far as I know!

Supposedly the reviews are going to drop in about 15 minutes (NDA expires), we'll see how it goes. I'll post the first reviews I see if I'm still hanging around.
I'll make a new review thread if no-one has already planned one.
I'm looking forward to techreport/computerbase
Super dissappointing, if the £509 price is true then surely it would be better to put £50 towards a 980Ti?
If not, then it may lose out to the 980ti unless you really need a small or ultra quiet card.
so now we're getting reviews, I think we can move into the phase of 'wait for more mature drivers' and 'wait to see how well it overclocks'
AMD usually gets performance together with driver updates over time. Those looking at this card shouldn't be too disheartened. :-(
When run through our benchmarks the R9 Fury X shines at 4K resolution, almost matching GTX 980 Ti, with just 3% difference. NVIDIA's GTX Titan X is still 8% ahead, but the performance is extremely game dependent. Most of our titles have the Fury X head to head with NVIDIA's offerings, sometimes slightly ahead, but then there are some games where the Radeon falls behind a lot. If we cherry pick and exclude Project Cars or World of Warcraft, then Fury X almost exactly matches GTX 980 Ti - at 4K, but consider that the next game that comes out and that you want to play might have similar troubles. As soon as we start looking at lower resolutions, the performance gap suddenly widens. 4K, vs. GTX 980 Ti: -2%, 1440p: -9%, 1080p: -14%, 900p: -18%. This means that for anything below 4K gaming, which includes 1440p, the Fury X can not compete with NVIDIA's offerings. So if you are thinking about 144 Hz 1080p gaming, then GTX 980 Ti is the way to go now. For 4K gaming the Fury is good though, and it looks like AMD's driver team has gotten more active, too, a driver for Batman: Arkham Knight was released shortly after the game's launch, a welcome improvement that will hopefully last.
So all AMD has to do is optimize for lower resolutions? Because the Fury X is losing to the 980 Ti by a good margin at resolutions lower than 1440p.
If that VisionTek Fury X price holds up ($550), I'll still get one.
Edit: damn, even the 295x2 kills it whenever Crossfire is working.
This sucks, the lack of a ROPs increase must really be hurting the scores.
