AMD's R9 Fury X - Pump Whine Fixed

Since users can take off the R9 Fury X's face plate without damaging their warranties, owners can easily identify if they have a newer, revised R9 Fury X or not and then ask for a replacement from their retailer, if they are having problems with pump noise. 

Right now we have seen no reports of the newer (chrome logo) model which has any problems related to pump noise. This means that most R9 Fury X GPUs on the market should not exhibit any issues related to pump noise.

Right now it looks like those suffering from Pump noise issues are in the minority, with this issue only affecting the first batch of GPUs. Those looking to purchase an R9 Fury X now will likely not be getting a model from the first batch of GPUs, so the likelihood of getting a defective model now is minimal.

Pump Noise has been fixed. The noise was only a minority of people, only on the first batch!

 

I guess the Fury X is going to be a awesome card!

Slick:

I don't care if you are right or wrong... someone will come around and correct you if you are wrong. What people need to realize is that we need to step up as a community and get above the pathetic fights and bickering. Share knowledge, be friendly, enjoy your stay.

He also forgot to mention if you dont know about the topic then dont make stuff up. Dont claim fake or assume things just by reading the title, Read the post. It doesnt matter if you made 3,000 as it could be mostly crap...

Also now it's awesome???

Maybe if it gets bios hacked to allow more than a 10% overclock.

Nice, 

 

so it's cooler, potentially quieter now and runs pretty much the same as the 980Ti (And better at 4k on games that aren't optimized better for nvidia) if you don't take into account overclocking. 

 

I would much rather have a reference Fury X at this point then a reference 980Ti, but I'd still rather have a non reference 980Ti and overclock it for even better performance, but that does have a higher cost. And depending on how much this pump issue was 'fixed' more noise. 

 

The 2 cards are starting to stack up very nicely alongside each other :)

Really it was always a good card, people just expected too much from it and overhyped too much, alongside AMD overhyping it a bit.

It is still to bad that AMD made the horrible choice to say it would be fixed for retail versions and still let that first run go you knowing that it had problem.

It is nice to see that they are working on fixing the issue that the card has.

To eveyone talking about need a hacked BIOS to unlock the voltage, are we positive that it's not just something missing from overclocking programs at the moment? It seems extremely unusual for AMD to lock voltage completely, and as far as I'm aware they haven't issued any statement. (And everyone knew that you wouldn't be able to change voltage in Overdrive.)

Wow those benchmark charts are trying they're asses off to make the Fury X look better. Where it wins the intervals are smaller to make the gap look bigger and when it looses in GTA 5 they made the interval quite a bit bigger to make the gap look smaller. A bit of bias with these.

It's not just the first batch. And way to chnge the scale on the benchamrks.

The one that you put it with the furyx loosing, a token of course, has a different scale to make it look better.

 

And cherry pick them.

Every site I've seen has w3 with the fury x loosing.

The pump is all them going CM instead of asetek

Several people are confirming new embossed coolers, that do not whine, so you cannot conclude that.

 

Nothing wrong with the scaling of the benchmarks. They all start with 0, and the size seems to be right.

You can see that for the GTA V chart not only does it go up in 10's but the actual distance between the lines are also bigger??.. Probably not to the same scale, but I doubt they are trying their hardest to make the Fury X look good, it's just the nicest way to present it. It's the one with the biggest gap so it isn't surprising that they decided to present it with a bigger scale. 

 

Also where are you getting this 'not only the first batch' info from?

Technically I don't know that AMD specifically said it was fixed for retail, however their communication was very insinuative that the issue was only initial pre-release product runs.

 

If people who brought aren't happy and they can RMA for a new one then all is well.  Now we just need to see how much farther this card will perform with tweaks and adjustments.

He actually claimed that?  wow,  I only read the article he published, and having not gone back to it I didn't want to make claims.

 

In my mind either way it's pretty bad,  I hold all marketing and company communications to an insanely high level (people are gullible).

Yep, that definitely claims that is was only samples and not retail product that was effected.

Typical AMD fanboy.

The highest number on the scale is based on what the highest frame rate on the chart is. What are you even talking about?

With the 980ti Classified only being $700, I think its the much better buy.

The charts where the fury x winds is 5 fps per line, the one where it looses is 10. They are all under 50. Plus everything I've seen thus far has those wrong, even though the fury  x does trade blows, not with those games really.

That's not a different scale. Also, the GTAV graph ends at 60FPS, which may explain that difference.
