Why is there no AnandTech Fury X review!?

[wilds]

All the day one reviews differentiate in many ways. I hope the delayed review could add some insight to voltage regulation, core and memory overclocking, varying power consumption figures, HBM memory management, and VRM thermals.

If you need a few bottles of cough syrup, I'm sure the Anandtech community can gladly donate to the cause!

That was Jarred. I'm an extremely proficient typist.

Just not a fast one :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::awe::awe::awe:

Apparently.

So Ryan, are we going to see it today?

Whoops!

Get well!

Doubtful, it's probably still shooting out both ends :''''(

Anandtech is the ONLY major hardware site on the entire Internet with no Fury X review, 1 full week after its release!!! And that's for a highly anticipated piece of hardware! There is no way that kind of shit would have happened under Anand. He would have found a way or he would have asked someone else to do the job. Anything to avoid missing such an important dead line. [redacted]

NOTE: Anyone can tell me if they remember this website missing such a huge launch, for over a week, in the last 10 years? Because I don't.

I really hope this is only a one in a million occurrence.

Did they ever finish the 960 review?

Nope. We were told coming soon any day now etc etc and we never got it

I have to agree, seems Anand left this site in very poor hands (which is a shame). Other sites are faaaaar over-taking them now

Then he's not "sick"...
...

It is possible to be that sick, however, you would be in in the hospital (which he can very well be...)
Thing that is confusing is, the benches were updated with Fury results, but, the actual article is missing. Most of the first part of the article would have been AMD's PR stuff, so, no new info there. The benches speak for themselves, so, no new info there either.
Thus, the only thing missing is the conclusion, but, again, it isn't difficult to already know this as well.

That basically means, there is no real reason to read AT's Fury 'review', unless you want to read some commentary.

On the NDA lift, they should have shown the PR stuff and benches, and then have a article later on as a follow up whenever Ryan is able to...but they didn't.

It seems like Anantech's gpu articles seem to always have some insight or insider info that is lacking in other reviews. For example, maybe Ryan knows something about the voltage lock issue or the pump noise issue.

this is just like what happened with the 960 though. it was late, then it was promised to be coming soon, and then it never arrives

This has become the Half-Life 3 of reviews....

 

[KingFatty]

"... and for today's review of the Fury-X here at Anandtech, we used this handy crowbar to install the card..."

 

[Qwertilot]

It is very possible to be basically flattened for a week with a cold (well more likely flu or such like) without getting a doctor involved.

Especially if you're expected to write dense technical text.

So, you are saying that anytime someone is to write 'dense technical text' that they are more likely to be flattened for a week?

I see no proof of this in the past (post Anand leaving), AT didn't find out about the gimped 970, until after the fact, and the followup on the issue was barely adequate.

Could also be, they know they missed the boat, so, they are waiting for the dual Fury or Nano card to finally do something.

Ryan Smith just tweeted that hes uploading his 27 page review now

27 Pages? Like, 27 html pages? or if I hit print, I'd get 27 pages? Haha.

Welps, I look forward to it.

Its 25k words, so at least a lot of printed pages

 

[n0x1ous]

Still not seeing it....it takes 2 hours to upload an article to the site?

"Uploading" isn't entirely the correct term here, as he has to put it into the CMS and format everything. It can be a bit tedious.

thanks - did not realize that. I have been wanting to read his review so bad its driving me crazy!!!!

Strange to own the card before I read Anandtech's review of it

 

[n0x1ous]

its up!

Apologies for keeping you guys waiting. I will attempt to better coordinate with the pathogens around me next time.

27 Pages? Like, 27 html pages? or if I hit print, I'd get 27 pages? Haha.

Welps, I look forward to it.

27 HTML pages. 78 printed pages.

Very good write up. I enjoyed it and always super thorough.

Conclusion page was spot on. The specs for the Nano - are those official? Because if so, that is going to be an interesting card if the price is say, $450 or in that ball park. Doesn't seem to be cut down at all, just clocked down.
