Im not on a tight budget, but im not really one of the people that like red/black build. My plan with the gaming 5 is to make a black build with small red accents, which i will think look good
 

Ive asked them to give me a Deluxe for the price of an A model.
 
They told me that the batch of mobos they got could have been bad.
 
They will first try to order a new batch to see if that helps, if not, ill get a Deluxe instead.

Great thanks

Its been rma'd. One of the sides on the motherboard was bent almost 3 centimeters. That looks pretty sick!

He is very happy about the performance

Ive made this poll to find out how people shop for their graphics card, which and why they choose certain brands over others.

Great, my brother will be happy i think  thanks

Today im taking a look at the ASUS Radeon R9 Fury Strix.
 
Before we start the mini review and conclusion of the product, i will start by mentioning that i do not provide pictures of the product due to bad photo equipment or lack of it. I do have had the product in hand myself, to give everyone my experience. Also, i will not provide complete and precise benchmarks in every single game.
 
So. In the box of the graphics card, the first thing you will see is a box with all your accesories. It comes with all the usual stuff like, a 2x6 pin to 8 pin adapter, a software disk, a speed setup guide book thingy and an ASUS Strix logo that you can stick onto your case if you want so. Also, the card doesnt come with a crossfire bridge as AMD uses the crossfire through the motherboard.
 
Going deeper into the box, you will find the graphics card itself. The card comes with the new ASUS Strix DC3 fan cooler design, which in my opinion looks very good. The card comes with a backplate, stylish, but a little bit boring in my opinion.
 
I loaded up the card and started playing. One thing that first came in mind was all the stuff that i've been told about AMD, "all AMD graphics cards has coilwhine". I can tell you guys right now, this graphics card has no coilwhine what so ever. Running Battlefield 4, ultra preset with no AA, the card did not make any noise from the coils, HOWEVER! The card is loud. Im just saying it, it is loud. Even though i tried to mix and match through the settings, i still could'nt find a spot where i felt that it was placed good, as soon as i adjusted it just a little bit down in fan speed, the card would reach 82C and thermal throttle.
 
So, conclusion time, right?
 
- Yes, the ASUS Fury Strix, is a good card for its money, no dout about that. But the noise from the 3 fans on the DC3 can be a negative thing for some people, including me. The graphics card might be a good choice for people who want a banging card for a good price, and im really happy that they solved the coilwhine, That made me a happy man.
 
All in all a good product, but a little too loud to my taste.
 
 
I hope you all liked this type of a review. Please let me know if you want more in-depth stuff onwards on other graphics cards reviews. THANKS!

dude, before buying some new. RMA them, they CANT and are not allowed to refuse, if the cards are accually defective!

I dont think that they will ever upgrade to another company. The lightning almost cant be upgraded, so the only solution for them is to get 2 new lightnings or hand you over 2 titanx's or hand you back all your money

I sold the 7990 because i was able to profit a whole lot of money

Note: TL;DR pros/cons list is below this text.
 
I see these kinds of threads all the time, and there's a lot of misconception about them. So I wanna tackle it.  
 
First, let's talk about the R9 390. Gaming, for the most part, it's on par with a 970 or above it, especially in VRAM-based scenarios (Assassin's Creed Unity, Grand Theft Auto V) or compute-based scenarios (TressFX, Sony Vegas, coin mining). That being said, it comes with a price, and that's with its heat dissipation. You must have a decent case in order to compensate for most 390s and its heat dissipation levels, as most 390s can get pretty toasty in smaller cases. In short, the 390 benefits in VRAM-based and compute-based scenarios, but it dissipates more heat and most 390s are significantly longer, wider, and thicker than most 970s. It also suffers from how AMD drivers are. They are kind of heavy on the CPU, and poorly threaded. It's not bad, especially if you have an i7. But it's still something to take into consideration, especially if you are using a Core i3, where it gets the messiest.  
 
Now, let's get onto the GTX 970. In gaming-based scenarios, the card benefits heavily in tessellation-based scenarios (The Witcher 3, Batman Arkham Knight) and CPU-bound scenarios (Grand Theft Auto V, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive), to the point where the 970 can almost slaughter the 390 in some cases. This is due to the nature of Maxwell and Nvidia drivers in general. Nvidia drivers are slightly heavier than AMD drivers, but are nicely multithreaded, making them a great fit for an i3 or an FX-8320. Most 970s are smaller in almost every aspect than most 390s. However, there are not a whole lot of good 970s that aren't from EVGA, MSI, or Zotac. The most notable of these is the Asus Turbo 970, infamously known for being very mediocre in the cooling department. The GTX 970 is best used with CPU-bound applications, places where it will be cramped, or CUDA. Most 970s are moderately sized to large, and almost none of them are as big as most 390s are. Most 970s are also much better overclockers than 390s are.

TL;DR pros/cons list below  
 
R9 390
Pros:  
* significantly better compute performance than a 970, to the point where it can give a 980 Ti a run for its money  
* more VRAM which is very useful for 2160p gaming, especially if you decide to Crossfire them  
* works best with a Sandy Bridge or above i7 or a Sandy Bridge or above hyperthreaded Xeon  
* slaughters the 970 in OpenCL tasks  
* achievable OCs benefit the card far greater than the equivalent clockspeed on a 970  
* Arguably better multi-monitor support
Cons:  
* It uses more power, and that's a fact. It's not significant, but it can add up, especially if you live in a country with bad prices on electricity.  
* Almost all of them are significantly longer, and thicker, than most 970s. This is especially noticeable with the MSI GAMING 4G 970 and 8G 390s, and the Sapphire Nitro R9 390 vs. most of EVGA's 970s.  
* It dissipates more heat, however, the better cards like the Sapphire Nitro R9 390 or the XFX Core Edition R9 390 are still nicely cooled even in tighter spots.  
* AMD's drivers are more reliant on a single core and makes the 390 a bad choice for an i3.  
 
GTX 970
Pros:  
* CUDA cores. Need I say more?  
* Better threaded drivers, making it more suitable with an i3 or an FX chip.  
* Better suited in CPU-bound games or tessellation-bound games  
* Shadowplay might be a card seller for you (personally isn't for me, but "personally" is "me" and not "you")  
* Most 970s are smaller than most 390s  
* better on power consumption, even if heavily overclocked.  
Cons:  
* better threaded drivers are kind of rendered null on an i7  
* It fucking sucks at compute tasks. Like, I'm not even kidding. The R9 390 will beat it in those scenarios.  
* We all know that Nvidia lied about the card's specs, so if ethics matter, then there's that.  
* Poor performer in OpenCL tasks

Nicely done. A well needed topic to keep the ignorance away.

if we use that logic we should strap water blocks to car brakes because its completely worthless liquid cooling the engine if the brakes arent on the loop too.

Amd will no longer exist, or wait? Is that even by 2020?

Ahh cool, no worries

reinstalling the drivers worked, thank you so much, now i can monitor that the card is sitting at about 55 degrees celcius at idle

73 degrees celcius under load

I just dont get people trillinger around on this forum.Comment if you know something about the topic at least.

i like the look of yours, thats sexy

I dont think it does, otherwise, using the gaming app's oc button would do so too

well, you have the cooling on your side

This is when i had custom loop
