Which R9 Fury do you prefer?

Guest
Go to solution Solved by xAcid9,

Can't go wrong with either of them, pick one that is cheaper and look better inside your case.

 

Sapphire Fury PCB is much shorter though and the 3rd fans could help your case airflow though it will be a hot air.


Which one?

My last two cards have been Sapphire and nothing has given me any reason to change to another brand.

I trust Sapphire more cause they are ONLY making AMD cards, ASUS once screwed up by putting Nvidia coolers on 290Xs and that did not go well at all! I checked and their temps was just as bad as a stock cooler from AMD with blower fan... So the only thing better about the ASUS one was simply less sound! xD

Both are good. The Strix cooler is doing a surprisingly good job in keeping the Fiji chip cool, however reviews point out that it's louder than the Tri-x. My vote goes to Sapphire Tri-x, because it's cheaper and Sapphire are much more reputable when it comes to AMD cards.

Didn't like the GPU fortifier.

 

OP would probably wouldn't like the pulsating LED on the STRIX logo.

Well, I guess I'll go with Sapphire then; even though the colors aren't the best, it is pretty much better in all ways. Also, the Sapphire is actually in stock, so that's another plus. But, as I mentioned before, how good is customer service?

1. "Tri-X" color scheme, Nitro cards don't have backplates.

2. Customer service is fantastic as fuck(in a good way).

3. I like PRON legacy.
