[H] got 494W full load on their 390X - http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/06/18/msi_r9_390x_gaming_8g_video_card_review/10#.VYh2t1VJb-g
Crazy difference in power consumption compared to 980.

Completely agree. It's really strange they did not include it. (Is it expensive to include, hardware, licensing?)
I game primarily via my receiver to the tv, so this is a no go, even with better price and performance then nvidia.
And if steamboxes takes of, have they screwed them self? I like the small size of it and would be very nice for a little gamebox in the living room, to bad you can't plug in into (most) tv's.
Well there always the next revision.
A cheaper one should be fine. You could test drive it with you current graphics card.
That's total system draw, but yeah, still high. It's also very different than other reviews:

Yep. I've this one. It worked well when I had my NV Surround setup. Didn't flake out on me or anything. But as you can see...it is damn near $100.

From his first sentence:
He only did it as a 'worst case scenario' setup to see if the Fury X would reach its thermal limit of 75C. It ended up maxing out at 58C after 8+ hours of nonstop benchmarking, which shows how good the cooler is.

Cool, damn near silent fans under load. That's a massive win for AMD if true, as it looks like they have made up for the launch of noisey reference 200-series cards and then some.
58C max temp when he had the fans blowing the wrong way is awesome too. This thing could overclock like a beast when the voltage control is unlocked.

I might be forced to set the Fury X up this way in my case as a temporary solution. I have a Silverstone Sugo SG09 that has a 120mm slot on the side, but I don't think I have enough clearance for the radiator. Or I can just wait for the AIB Fury cards to release on July 14th. Maybe we'll even see some of those with HDMI 2.0.

Just so you're aware... this'll work fine with most TVs. No HDMI 2.0 is specifically a problem for resolutions above 1080p (4k TVs).
And 120/144Hz monitors.
How do you mean? Actual 120/144Hz 1440 monitors all have display port to my knowledge.

There were cheapo Korean monitors that don't.
FWIW, almost all new 120/144Hz monitors do have Displayport, so there's that. But I have an old BenQ XL2420T which does not have a DP. Dual Link DVI only. My VG248QE and RoG Swift are good to go.

Looks damn sexy. Can't afford two (yet).
Actually I've been wondering how that would work. How would someone work a Crossfire with Fury X is they both have built in radiators? My case only has one spot in the back for a 120mm fan, and the cord doesn't look long enough to reach the front of an ATX case. :/
Top, bottom, side panel, or front. If your case can't accommodate, you'd need to get a new case.

So when does thing thing go on sale? I wanna get one.
Yeah, I have a different BenQ that's the same way. Only paid $200 for it so I guess I can't complain TOO much if I end up replacing it in 1-2 years (prob for a 4k display) but... yeah.
Now THAT is awesome! That might be the most viable 4k solution for gaming on the planet at the moment when all factors are taken in to account (heat, noise, power draw, price, etc.).
And to the person who asked previously, I believe they go on sell Wed morning when the review embargo drops. (Wed morning for the east coast USA)
Probably for preventing damage from bubbles, and he probably doesn't care cause it's a review sample and not his own card he paid for.
Air bubbles will go towards the top of the system because they're lighter than water, and if the radiator (and reservoir with it) is on the bottom, that makes the pump the highest point in the system. Air going through a pump is a major no bueno. Causes cavitation and lots of stress. Great way to kill a pump. That's why preferred mounting setup is radiator above card with tubes on bottom: it puts the reservoir as high as possible. Given that it's a sealed system, though, there shouldn't be any bubbles. Short term I doubt it's a big deal.
It could also be that they want as much water pressure as possible when it's going through the pump. They might be worried about cavitation via low water pressure if your loop's height delta is too big with the pump at the top.

Know which retailers will have them? Will Amazon? What's the best brand of AMD card to usually get?

In this case they will all be the same I think
Warranty-wise they're not all the same. There's a handy-dandy chart I've seen posted in this thread a few times over the years.

I see. I got a Corsair Carbide 400R, might be too big.
Not that I would do it necessarily, I was just curious.

XFX, Asus, Gigabyte and MSI are pretty good.
I would avoid Powercolor, Diamond Multimedia and Sapphire...just my opinion, though.

So I'm going to be getting this card on Wednesday for science!
But I currently have my pc hooked up to a 32" 1080p TV
I'm leaning towards that Asus 1440p 144hz Freesync monitor, but there are alot more on the horizon coming, do I pull the trigger on a new monitor now or just wait a bit and use the downsampling method on my 1080p for now?

Thanks. Think I can run this on a 460 watt power supply? I ran a geforce 980 on it lol What is the power drain on one of these during gaming?
Seems like enthusiasts are rushing for non-ref 980Ti instead, so there might be enough stock to go around.
I just read the review, man that monitor looks really good.

ditto on Sapphire. they can't add proper thermal paste on their cards for the life of them.
Bummer... Sapphire is the only AMD vendor that sells at fair price in my country.

Well I guess thats it then. My next card is chosen for me.
I have a Sapphire card and love it, and have heard nothing but good things about them in the past, FWIW.
IchigoSharingan

you can buy from them but I strongly STRONGLY suggest opening up the gpu and redoing the paste yourself.
they gob that shit on and then the paste crusts and turns into an insulator of heat.
It's supposed to be 275W for the Fury X, which is markedly more than the 980. I... wouldn't use it on a 460W.

I hope you're right.
My friend is coming back from the US so he's going to buy it for me.
BoboBrazil
Member
Ouch. Guess I'll have to upgrade the power supply.
Hopefully it won't come down to that.
Myself I couldn't get the paste done right on my CPU last time.

No idea what is going on anymore.
I thought they disallowed (apparently) HBM overclocking?

Official retail Fury X box!
It is 95% of 980Ti prices here.
450GB/s HBM only?
Not the full 512GB/s. :/
That sucks. :/ At least the box is super nice.
