EK-FC R9 Fury X a AMD Radeon R9 FURY (X) Full Cover water block
EK is showing a preliminary model of how they feel what liquid cooling should look like on the Radeon R9 Fury X with their EK-FC R9 Fury X water block.
There you go, first sneak peak:
- Will come with single-slot bracket included and in all four versions (but no CSQ this time)
- All five backplates available (black, nickel, red, blue, gold/yellow)
- Single-slot height compliant!
First batch will be ready and distributed worldwide before you will have your card in hands.

So, now when Nvidia has the huge hot GPU with a bit more performance and
AMD has the small, cool refined GPU with a bit less performance....
... the tables have turned an exact 180 degrees.
And yet - people still say they like nvidia better.
I think AMD should step out of the discreete GPU market entirely and you all would get EXACTLY what you deserve.
The Fury X and 980Ti have the same die size and the 980Ti uses 25w less power. The Fury X is cooler because it ships with liquid cooling. EVGA ships a 980Ti with liquid cooling AIO as well. And as you said the 980 Ti is faster. So I'm not sure how that's 180 degrees. If you compare the EVGA AIO 980Ti, the only thing the Fury X does better is price. That's it. And even there for most people the 15% gain over a reference Ti justifies the extra $100.

What? The 980Ti is a cooler card by a fair margin and uses less power as well. Both using the exact same cooler, the fury x would easily be 10c hotter.
Plus most 980Tis will hit 1500mhz and thats a performance increase of 20%.

1. Stop demonizing people who call out the bull****. Ive seen you do that in other threads.
Getting tired of people who root for AMD and then wait for nvidia and intel prices to drop.
2. Im all for natural selection. If AMD dies, it dies and thats that. I agree with you that a buyout from someone else might be a better thing in the long run.
Even if the buyout process would mean a few years without gpus or apus and intel and nvidia would go nuts in an unnatural rage. Thats the part i would find annoying.
You're not calling out the bull, you're ranting against people based on the wrong facts. The Ti is not a hot card and no tables have turned.
On the contrary, we find ourselves in the exact situation we were when the 780Ti launched. AMD's top offering is slower. The difference now is that AMD is late to the party and that the Fury X doesn't overclock much, pretty much defeating the whole point of that liquid cooler.
Regarding the buyout, yeah that's something we can agree on. Although I do suppose that before the transitional period and the resulting monopoly we COULD stock up on SLI high-end cards and wait for it to blow over.
It wouldn't be that bad actually. Especially since the companies with the monopoly won't have an incentive to release better products.
Unless they'd be afraid to get smashed to pieces by the competition's offerings. A few years is a hell of a lot time to design a product, even a GPU.
