R9 fury x sold out

ust yesterday, AMD launched their brand new Radeon R9 Fury X flagship graphic card. And within 24 hours of launch every single SKU on the market is sold out. All the big etailers including Amazon and Newegg are currently going through the restocking phase with cards listed as ‘Out of Stock’. This is both very promising and could be potentially alarming for the product at the same time. The sell out indicates an absolutely killer demand for the card while the 24 hour time period indicates a rather limited initial quantity of cards (available to the etailer).

The article looks like miss, please fix it! 

 

This look promising for AMD and competition though.

that 30k "rumor"

[Sumsar]

Its a great card. It's right up there witht the 980TI, in most cases. And it beats both the 980TI and the Titan X quite often.

[Ostwind]

Wait people are buying these things? Guess benchmarks mean nothing.

 

Time to buy a 9800 GT because it's got a bigger number in the name than anything else which means it's faster.

[Lays]

Fairly sure once their drivers are fixed it will be better than it is now. A lot of reviewers said the drivers seemed very unrefined..

[PineappleHolidays]

I thought it was known that there where supposedly 3300 cards available total ?

It's sad they don't have more though

Why not? Its reasonably fast and can keep up with the 980 Ti. 

Yea although it didn't crush the 980 Ti doesn't mean its the worst card of all time...

The Fury X performs about the same as the 980 Ti and also costs the same. I don't see why people are so disappointed with this card unless everyone had way too high expectations.

It can't keep up with an overclocked 980 Ti, and fury apparently doesn't OC very well. So same price, slower for the end user, bulky RAD, extra failure points in the form of tubing, pump, rad. While it certainly not the worst thing you can spend $650 on it's not a intelligent purchase.

Blame AMD's marketing, always writing checks that their hardware can't cash.

but if it can't beat the 980ti, what's the purpose if buying the Fury X? is unoverclockable too. ( maybe it will in the future ) but now, there's no reason to buy the Fury X.

3300? I think 30,000 according to some rumors.

[Misanthrope]

Well I'm glad the world is bigger than LTT and that nobody went "Oh it's 5% slower than a 980ti so even though it has so much better temps it's a failure lol amdz dead!"

[marldorthegreat]

3300? I think 30,000 according to some rumors.

They have sold more than 30k units.

Yeah sorry 33k units

Same price in the US for reference cards. But reference 980 Ti runs hotter and noisier. Non-reference 980ti is more expensive. Moreover, in some countries, Fury X is cheaper than reference 980Ti, etc in UK, £509 vs £550.

[Shine_Syahr]

Fuck Yeah!!!! Woop dee doo!!! Long live AMD!!!

If I was a serious tech junkie and had the cash, of course I'd buy one.

It's not a bad card. It's a great AMD card and people buy them for different reasons. Competition only benefits us the consumers.

Not every where in the world you'll find the 980 Ti with the same price as the Fury X... And if they could get the performance similar to a 980 Ti for less, why not? 

And for those mini ITX builds... The AIO will be able to cool the GPU in a small enclosure better than a blower style cooler ever will...

 

The Fury X is overclockable... It just doesn't overclock all that well...

i see, so that make sense now. sry bud, from Asia so idk anything about US or EU price.

Well, the 980 during launch averaged at 65 FPS on Shadow of Mordor at 1440p, after driver updates it now averages 81. Who's to say that Fury X won't get more performance when it actually has an optimized driver?

That sounds all well and good in theory until you remember that the rad has an enormous end tank that will ruin mounting in a lot of cases making the small size of the card itself mean nothing.

 

I also said it doesn't OC very well, I didn't say that it doesn't OC at all. Plus considering the performance difference between the two when overclocked plus the additional VRAM on the 980 Ti the extra price elsewhere could be justified.

[Takata]

-shrug- If not for the Fury X, I don't want to think about what Nvidia would have charged for the 980Ti.

Why does it have this tank anyway? Don't radiators already come with enough extra volume on the end bits?

I personally want to try the card with EK block, and for overclocking the OC Software is simple not ready for the card. there have been a handful of cards that come out with "locked" voltage and a little while later its added in.

HWC seemed to have done it well...

 

Oh I'm with you on the OC part, I fucked up my post. That statement wasn't meant for you, it was to Wind.

I would think so but apparently AMD doesn't share the same opinion.

Not all small cases have the mounting capabilities of the Ncase N1 has and you know it. The N1 is an exceptional example of intelligent design, very few cases have the same capability.
