Post links and I'll update the OP.

Photo finish between Fury X and 980ti so far.

 

[wand3r3r]

It's a lot closer than I expected. It looks like there will be some tradeoffs whichever way you go, which I assumed would be far more clear. I'm curious to see the regular Fury and how it compares, I guess it's going to be a clearer choice.

 

[Head1985]

23% faster than r9 390x in 4k
how is this card only 23% faster than 390x?

in dragon age only 17%??!!

vs 390x
46% more SP
30% more memory bandwidth
45% more TMU
Same rops only 64

so it must be hard ROP bottleneck

Edit:

So it is because slow tesellation and ROP bottleneck

 

[birthdaymonkey]

TechReport is up. Doesn't look great for the Fury X, especially in terms of frame times.

[LTC8K6]

I'm wondering why it's water cooled if it won't overclock very much?

Does it just draw that much power?

 

[Pariah]

If you're married to using AMD products, you now have a price equivalent equal to the 980ti. For everyone else there isn't my much to see here or any reason to switch.

Software for voltage modification isn't out yet.

 

[LTC8K6]

Software for voltage modification isn't out yet.

Yes, I posted about that already.

 

[Rvenger]

Not a card for me. I will pass and keep my 290s.

Performance was worse than expected it seems. Why are reviewers adding project cars to their line up? This game was a known performance blunder.

 

[LTC8K6]

Software for voltage modification isn't out yet.

Why would we be told about it's great overclock ability, and then have no overclocks to talk about on release?

 

[flopper]

early drivers

 

[scooterlibby]

I'm pretty brand agnostic and have owned both Nvidia and AMD. Initial results are kind of disappointing. I think I may go the 980ti route, particularly because of over clocking potential.

 

[Silverforce11]

Anyone remember that ChipHell leak from last year? 51-56% faster than R290X. Bang on!

HWC:

"In UHD scenarios this card is easily able to trade blows with the GTX 980 Ti (if it wasn’t for a lack of optimizations in Dying Light, it would actually be ahead by 2%) and gives the uber expensive TITAN X a swift kick in the pants."

 

[LTC8K6]

I mean you aren't allowed to try to overclock the cards with voltage.

Why brag about overclocking and then restrict it?

Especially when it looks like the card needs it to compete?

[biostud]

I'll keep my 7990, look forward to DX12 and driver optimizations.

Its 830-870mhz 290x
http://www.computerbase.de/2015-05/grafikkarten-testverfahren-testsystem/2/

vs 1050Mhz 390x its pretty bad.

64rops and slow tessellation killing Fury X.

Only the Memory is said to be locked. No news about the core being locked, yet.

 

[flopper]

Only the Memory is said to be locked. No news about the core being locked, yet.

yea not sure why no voltage mod was done yet.

 

[LTC8K6]

Only the Memory is said to be locked. No news about the core being locked, yet.

I guess I will have to go and look at the core overclocks, then.

 

[rtsurfer]

Well the Voltage control isn't even available in PowerTune yet. Guess we'll have to wait & see.

I guess I will have to go and look at the core overclocks, then.

Most sites are hovering around 1130Mhz.

:thumbsup: Props to Guru3D for including FCAT analysis, despite technical limitations.

I would like to see comparisons to other cards and in crossfire in particular.

Yes, it looks like 75mhz on the core is common.
