If AMD and Nvidia's flagship cards are too expensive then the AMD Radeon R9 Fury is a good option for high-end gameplay. Be warned, though – its power consumption is...

Continuing its competition with Nvidia, AMD has now released the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X GPU and this time around, the company has also actually introduced a whole new set of technologies that go into the card.Unlike the Radeon R9 390X, which we'd reviewed...

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.

If you want a graphics card that is a technical feat along the same lines of the (still amazing) Radeon R9 295 X2 — a watercooled monster, a high-resolution frame-spitter that handles the latest games and delivers beautiful graphics smoothly and surely...

While the Radeon Fury X was a gorgeously designed and cool-running piece of hardware that introduced some much-needed new technologies into the fold, it fell a bit short with performance expectations. The air-cooled Radeon Fury, however, once again...

In the end, AMD Fury X can't beat the GTX 980 Ti. A new driver may bring some extra performance but that's AMD's business. The overclockers' dream has some more steps to do for that title as the voltage can't be increased for now.NVIDIA also priced its...

The R9 Fury X 4GB is a positive move forward for AMD as it indicates the potential they have to produce small, powerful graphics cards – able to fit inside very small cases and system builds. HBM certainly seems to be tightly engrained into the future...

The Fury X is an outstanding single-GPU 4K video card—and it runs cool and quiet.

Making a decision between the two heavyweight cards is no easy task, though if it were our money on the table and we had to make a decision, a well-implemented partner GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB would get the nod. Whatever you end up choosing, competition can only be seen as good for the consumer... AMD does manage to provide that with the Fury X.

Is Fury X the homerun that I think many users and enthusiasts were hoping it would be? Does it live up to all of the hype surrounding a months-long leak campaign and dual E3 stage shows? Probably not. But I still believe that AMD has built its best graphics card in several generations and is again competing in the space we need it to.

And for the AMD faithful, that’s enough to warrant a purchase. We have to wonder if the company stopped just short of the gold, though. More speed, a lower price, some sort of game bundle—it could have gone in several directions, really, to convince enthusiasts that Fury X is the better buy.
