R9 Fury Strix?

[byalexandr]

Is it garbage like DCUII? Should I get the Tri-X from Sapphire instead?

 

I play 1080p 144Hz, so should I go for the 390X instead? HardOCP says it performs the exact same at 1080p.

 

I like the Strix tho

I'd personally go for a 290/x, you won't benefit from the extra VRAM at 1080p.

Nah, the 390X performs better and runs cooler. I don't even want to drop below 80FPS maxed out in BF4. Plus I have the budget for the Fury, so...?

Yeah it performs better...but...meh...fine...

Generally you have maxed settings or more FPS but you seem to want both...

The "10% extra performance" seems to be why people are choosing the 390/390X/Fury

Hey, I am selling my old stuff to buy a better GPU. The more performance the better. What's the best GPU I can get for $550?

Plus it runs a bit cooler, has twice the VRAM, and AMD cleaned up the architecture a bit. Anyway, off topic. Is the Strix cooler still crap?

[byalexandr]

Anyone?

From what I read it seems to perform better than a GTX 980, and the strix runs at a cool 72C and a pretty normal 41 DBa at full load.  So yeah, it is one of the best cards for a $550 budget.

Since I am at 1080p, would the MSI 390X be a better choice? Apparently it is on par with the Fury at 1080p, plus it has 8GB VRAM. I feel like the Fury is just for bragging rights, which I badly want, but I could save a hundred bucks on a 390X. And I could get an MSI Gaming board to match.

The Fury is better at 1080p, and 8gb of vram is pretty wasted at 1080p anyways.  Its your choice though.  Look at some reviews and see if the performance difference is worth the price or not.  I personally think both cards are overkill at 1080p, and would probably just go with a 290x or a GTX 970 and pocket the cash, but that is just my opinion.

At 144Hz, I think they are barely enough. That's just me though. I don't know, the 390X looks really nice though. If the R9 Fury is in stock, which it rarely is, I might pick it up. The Strix cooler does look very nice and it is a top tier card.

if you can get the Fury, buy the fury. It handles tesselation a tad better then Hawaii/Grenada. Which will help you in some games.

And personally, Sapphire Tri-X OC Fury is way more sexy then any 390X ive seen.
