[GPU Review] Sapphire AMD r9 Fury X on the rise!

[maylyn]

Dump your Titan X go Fury X CF?

Your poison is not that strong ah He is aiming something even more powerful than all these offerings

Intel Skylake-E and XXXXXX

 

[royfrosty]

can you post furmark temp?

Furmark will be hot i guess as it is totally not real scenario. But of cause i will give it a try.

Posting results in 5mins.

Able to clock it up to hit Giga base clock speeds and run SoM again? Coz the last thing u wan in comparison between brands is the clock speeds interfering with the results.

This is getting interesting. FuryX doing a 980Ti at a cheaper price.

Whats the base clock ar for giga?

Whats the base clock ar for giga?

1152MHz. Memory clock (if it makes a difference, dunno) is at 1750MHz.

Edit: Ooops, maylyn is right. 1241MHz. 1152MHz is when not gaming.

 

[maylyn]

Whats the base clock ar for giga?

Boost frequency of 1241 MHz (base clock is 1152 MHz).

So you should OC to 1241MHz? if the Fury X doesn't have boost? to have the best verses.

 

[kingtiger2014]

Btw, what drivers are you using, it is download from AMD website or CD from the box?

 

[royfrosty]

There is no CD from the box. Download direct from their website. And please download correctly. Its 15.15 not 15.6 beta. 15.15 is more for Fury X and also 300series. 15.6beta is for older cards.

Boost frequency of 1241 MHz (base clock is 1152 MHz).

No it will not work at 1240mhz. Wait let me find a stable oc first. I think this card is not boosted. But it works in different ways. Lets see if it will work at between 1100mhz to 1200mhz and see if it will compete with G1.

wtf can put into Jonsbo U2

Should I? lol

Its okay if u cant match the Giga clock-for-clock. Can just try with the highest stable clock u can possibly achieve (rmb it takes a few driver iterations for AMD to stabilise their new cards - had it with my previous Sapphire 7850).

At least the test results u get after all of these would be the most unbiased set of results comparing between the GTX 980 Ti and Fury X. Coz it's essentially a user-based review. After this ongoing AMD review saga currently brewing (first was KitGuru, now, eteknix), I doubt any subsequent Fury X reviews that finally get published in common review sites will not carry a tint of biasedness (either AMD or Nvidia). Of course, unless HWZ (hint: Dr. Vijay and team) decides to benchmark FuryX against GTX 980 TI.

We like to see how far it can overclocks.

What to do? either join them or get sideline lor ...

Ok here are the settings i get that wont crash. I know it didnt pull more than 100mhz oc base clocks. BUT however the gain in performance is substantial.



Here are the settings.



Noticed: I increased the max power draw as i do not wanna limit the card because of power issues.

 

[avsquare]

Intel Skylake-E and XXXXXX

 

[royfrosty]

However i also noticed that, the Benchmark for SoM is a little short. Should see if there is any Gpu benchmark that is longer and may see a little more differences.

 

[royfrosty]

Lets see heaven benchmark differences. Before and after.

Hmm. Something is fishy here. A card that is water-cooled but unable to pull off high overclocks like the Titan X and GTX 980 Ti (400MHz headroom)? Nvr mind, shall wait for the review sites' reviews then.

But anyway, thx roy Just hope that it doesn't end up towards a sad conclusion that the FuryX is better than GTX 980Ti at stock but performs worse than the GTX 980Ti at the cards' max overclocks. That would be sad coz of the way AMD managed to hype up this card.

 

[royfrosty]

Ok small gains. A little improvement.
