    Gigabyte latest to launch AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card

    Again it's based entirely upon AMD's reference design.

    Shame one of these won't be going into my HTPC with the rad being so huge?

    Nice looking cards.

    Re: Gigabyte latest to launch AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card

    Why are they saying it needs a 750W PSU? I have an overclocked 980 & an overclocked i5 4670K running perfectly happily off a RM550 PSU...

    They say that just to be on the safe side. Also, this card can consume over 300W when you use it for HPC applications.

    Not interested in reference designs. When someone provides a custom water block version I might be tempted, although been in green team for a long time

    Re: Gigabyte latest to launch AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card

    curious though on the various sites seeing price differences between the company.. i mean, other than boxart, company name and warranty length, is there any differences between all these first releases of furyX? Why are some like 50-60quid more than others :S
    I'm going to wait for either the aircooled versions, OC-able versions and perhaps the normal Fury :-)

    Because the Fury X takes 300w more and the other PC components also draw more power
    you just simply have less power to worry about spending on

    HTPC is home theatre PC right? Why would you put a beast like this in that?

    Because the Fury X takes 300w more ...
    More than what? A GTX 980? Not even remotely - 100W more at the most, probably a fair bit less than that.

    Both GPU companies allow for poor quality PSUs that can't provide their rated power consistently. Look at hexus' review and compare the actual PC-wide draw figures; they're about half the recommended supply: 322W for the Fury X (vs 750W recommended) and 245W for the GTX 980 (500W recommended).

    Re: Gigabyte latest to launch AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card

    Fury X seems to be around the same power consumption as an HD7970GE according to TPU,and between 12W to 40W more than a GTX980TI at most,and seems to be generally below that for the R9 290X.

    According to techreport AMD isn't allowing reference designs for Fury X only the air cooled Fury will have them.

    Re: Gigabyte latest to launch AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card

    there is a very good reason AMD only ant the reference design - also ALL FuryX come with ` warranty void if removed` - and the IHV`s mean it.

    why? the interposer is NOT flipchip - so the coloured bit on the die between all the ram? that's the interposer - get ANYTHING on it , and you could well wreck the lot and quickly.

    Will there be an 8GB edition? most "4k" Testure packs want 8GB's of VRam

    IDK so that's why I'm asking, but isn't it more about the amperage that's supplied?
    By saying it needs a bigger PSU than necessary are they making sure it can supply sufficient amps.
