AMD Radeon R9 Fury X
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

Back in their heyday of mid-2015, the GeForce GTX 980 Ti and Radeon R9 Fury X were highly desirable graphics cards. Though they were quite similar performance-wise, the GTX 980 Ti was the more recommended card because it had a slight performance...

Unleashed earlier this year, Nvidia's 3072 CUDA Core GTX Titan X was every enthusiast's dream until it was overshadowed by the GTX 980 Ti a few months later. Although the GTX 980 Ti is slower, it lets power users enjoy 4K gaming for $650 versus $1,000...

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.

When compared to Nvidia’s GTX 980 Ti, though, the picture becomes a little murky. It's a draw between the Fury and Nvidia's GTX 980 Ti at 4K, but the Fury loses out at 1440p and in most of the theoretical tests. AMD's hardware also suffers from an absence of overclocked cards and higher power consumption.
