R9 Fury-X

Average Bench: 58.9% (113th of 715)

Based on 8,241 user benchmarks.  Device: 1002 7300 Models: AMD Radeon (TM) R9, AMD Radeon (TM) R9 Fury

The AMD R9 Fury X sports a brand new Fiji GPU which succeeds Hawaii as AMD's new high end GPU (Hawaii powers the 290/X and 390/X series cards). The new GPU is coupled with High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) which is a new memory architecture that allows for significantly higher bandwidth than previous generations. The Fury X is factory overclocked and has a TDP of just 275W, 4GB of VRAM and it comes fitted with a water cooling system which results in a relatively small form factor for a top end graphics card. Although the Fury X only has 4GB of VRAM, this is rarely a problem for gaming even at 4K resolutions. The key comparable for the Fury X is Nvidia's similarly priced 980 Ti. Comparing the 980 Ti and Fury X shows that at stock clocks there is very little between the two cards but 980 Ti has significantly better overclocking potential where it leads by up to 25%. Overall the Fury X trades blows with the best GPUs currently available. [Jun '15 GPUPro]

i have both, but the R9's graphics are better on the eyes/smoother than the 1050 GTX, i love the Red RGB and i also love that its water cooled, it goes well with my set up

After all these years, still powerful enough for a great setting in the most popular games. Additionally 3xDP Ports for 3 nice Displays :)

Shockingly. this card years after release might still be a very solid small form factor GPU as long as you can find one used and do the maintenance on it's aging watercooler.

Got a R9 Nano, 'bench say it's a R9 Fury-X at 16% below average, feel so good :)

For me this card is an outstanding, moved from Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8GB, i really like the watercooling, since it easily removes heat from case, so i could slow down all the Noctuas and make the PC more quieter and more powerfull.

Probably one of the only GPU to come with 120mm AIO cooler as a reference cooler. Was the computing beast back in the day though.

Once a king. Now it's just a bad value card.

Liquid cooling = more problems. Not to mention, the Fury (non-X) with 512 fewer streaming processors (8 fewer compute units) performs just about as well as or better than the Fury X. Similar situation with the newer Vega 56/64.
