The Fury has incredible scaling capability, but games have always been iffy with Dual GPU's be it a single card or 2 cards, Crossfire or SLi. Although there is only 1 DX12 game that supports dual video cards of any brand, that being ashes you can see how inadequate SLi is in modern times, using a nVidia card as primary and although you get a performance increase it's not that great, but reverse the cards to a Fury and a 980Ti and you get very good scaling, the lack of communication over the PCIe Bus really hurts the nVidia cards if they are used as master. I have been half tempted to pick up a fury but i think it better to wait, my R9 290 is still doing pretty good.
This card is clearly 2x Nano's stitched together and despite the limited power requirements i have seen someone test a Nano with watercooling and it's identical to a Fury X with lower power of course. To me these Nanos are hand picked binned GPU's where they can use lower voltage and thus runs cooler and needs less power.

Take a look at this Fury X scaling, it destroys 980ti's in they own game :

Seems even with the latest patch the game is broken with SLi, funny how crossfire is working flawlessly LMFAO! first for everything really, even funnier for being a "the way it's meant to be played" title. I had to look cause the nVidia cards got like 5% boost with SLi which is pretty low so did some digging and the game is broken on SLi.

Are we seriously going to sit here and cherry pick benchmarks again?

Seeing as crossfire/SLI support is getting dropped like flies I doubt its going to be much of a hit.
Not event talking about how 375W max is going to throttle this card to hell and back considering 1 Fury X already sucks up 250W.

Why to discuss some benchmarks. Even upon release of Fury X we had this discussion.
While Fury X with release drivers was far from perfect, CF in games which supported multi GPU properly gave nearly 100% boost.
Fiji was doing in multi GPU better than any previous GPU AMD/nV released (in term of scaling).
//I am not saying that I have necessarily stronger graphical system than someone having 980Ti. Just that SLI vs CF equally measured shows that CF is currently bit better.
(Even upon launch many were like, I want one GPU, so 980Ti, if I wanted 2 or more, then Fiji would be choice.)
