What is the difference between the Fury and Fury X?

Just curious on what the difference is because there were some benchmarks that stated the Fury was slightly slower than the 980 Ti, but the Fury X was faster than the Titan X

There have been many wars that have rocked the face of Earth, Many have heard of WWI, WWII, The Cold War, The Vietnam War and the Iraq War. But there has been a war that only a handful of humans know.....AMD vs Intel. It all started in 1985 when Intel released the first 32bit processor, the Intel 386. This war has been raging on for decades and Intel and AMD are still at each others throats. Fanboys have been ruthlessly killed, motherboards have been short circuited and most gruesome of all... CPU pins have been bent. Stop this war before it is too late. #STOPTHISWAR

Fury has a GPU that is slightly dumbed down. Fury X is the full-blown GPU.(they both use the same core)***

Is Fury X the one with 2 variants? the one with AIO and Air?

Processor : i7-6700k (stock speed)

Cooler : Hyper 212X

Motherboard: MSI Krait Gaming Z170

RAM : 4x4gb LPX Memory

Boot Device : Samsung 860 EVO

GPU : ZOTAC 1070 Extreme

PSU :Antec HCG-620M

Okay, so the Fury X is like a Ti equivalent of AMD?

According to PCper (http://www.pcper.com/news/Graphics-Cards/AMD-Officially-Announces-Radeon-R9-Fury-X-and-Fury-Graphics-Cards), The Fury X is the AIO version that will release in a few days. The Fury will be air cooled, but it is not confirmed whether that and the price drop is the only change or not.

If it's $100 less, it's probably a slightly dumbed down version of the same GPU. If you use the 290 and 290X as an example, the 290X was the fully blown GPU while the "normal" 290 was the slightly less powerful version.

The AIO has to cost something

Yes, but it also depends on the air cooler that AMD decides to use.

So you don't have a source? The way you typed in your original source, you made it looked like what you said is known fact.

It was theorized before the e3 conference that they would be different but at the conference they stated the only difference was the x had the water cooler and the non x was air cooled. At least that's what I heard as I was half paying attention to it.

I'm using the 290 and 290X as my source. However since that is not a real source, I will add a disclaimer to my post. That being said, if the Fury X is liquid cooled by default and the Fury is air cooled by default, something tells me the Fury X must be liquid cooled in order to sustain operation, and that the Fury is dumbed down to be cooled by air successfully.

I would assume it is the same difference between a 290 and a 290x as stated above

Fury = Air cooled

Fury X = AIO cooled

 

That is the only difference they indicated during the announcement. Mentioned nothing about performance differences. 

 

The Fury X has  custom AIO with a custom full block. Not just a cheap Asetek AIO block slapped on the GPU core. Some actual R&D went into this cooler, so having it cost $100 more totally makes sense vs the air cooled version.
