AMD Radeon R9 Fury X

Overview

The Fury X is AMD's most hyped graphics card of 2015. The board design is unique in itself, never before have we seen an ultra-high-end graphics card that measures less than 10" in length and the Fury X is well under this at just 7.5". To maintain its 7.5" PCB the Fury X is equipped with a water-block on the GPU alongside an external 120mm radiator

The Fury X would have been a slam dunk for AMD if it had been a better overclocker, but as it stands picking between the Fury X and the GTX 980 Ti is no easy task. For whatever it's worth, the Fury X is a more exciting product to us with its HBM technology enabling a super compact design. We can't wait to see what other Fiji products AMD has in the works.
