AMD Blocks/Disables Overclocking the Memory for the Radeon R9 Fury X

[Techhog]

Well well... Nvidia owner OP made this thread, when in reality AMD have done nothing wrong, it's a new memory subsystem, Nvidia on the other hand have zero room to talk on dated technology.

The fact that he owns an Nvidia card is irrelevant. I mean, the fact that every thread he makes is for the sake of "putting AMD fanboys in their place"  is, but not the fact that he has an Nvidia card.

Just out of curiosity .... does an average Joe buying a Fury X really need more than 512GB/s ??

 

No. There are three types of people complaining

 

1.) AMD haters

2.) People against the principle of locking it down

3.) People who want to overclock it for the sake of epeen

 

Nobody with half a brain actually thinks that overclocking the VRAM would have any performance impact on games (other than the fact that the heat from the overclock would severely limit the OC potential of the core).

I doubt it. Overclocking memory doesn't really do anything to your frame-rate anyway, the only real difference it makes is your graphics card runs hotter.

 

Well why the "outrage" then ? I could understand it if it were something along the lines of a core clock or something ...

Because the first reaction of people on the internet to being told they can't do something is to throw their toys out of the pram and have a tantrum while screaming "BUT I WANNA!".

People are still freaking out because they can't use Overdrive to OC the memory. This doesn't say tools like MSI Afterburner won't be able to OC memory. If it is disabled in the card bios people will make custom a custom bios that enables it along with overvolting.
