Running a 970 right now, but my best friend's GPU just died and I'd totally give him mine if I win this fury x... Or maybe we could make it interesting and play some games against each other to see who'll take it home in the end. (though I'd probably lose it cuz he's much better than me in almost everything xD )

Fury X, wow, in my rig I currently have an i5 4670K, and a GTX 960. I would like the Fury X as I am getting quite a lot of GPU bottlenecks (and not just in games :L), it would also mean that I could give my brother the 960 as a hand-me down (he currently does not have GPU just a pentium anniversary edition). I would also love to try the open source drivers (currently trying to use linux for anything that I can, I think it's a nice alternative to windows and I would like to see more market competition!).

I'm running an EVGA 750Ti with a 4690K at stock speed (3.5GHz). The best I can do on 1080@60fps is low/medium settings.

 

Photos

The system remains nearly the same as in the images. The only difference being I have added sleeved cables (6-pin for GPU and 24-pin), a 212 Evo and reattempted cable management.

EDIT: I also painted my PCI covers.

Currently running an AMD FX-8350 + MSI HD Radeon HD7950 TwinFrozr III OC/BE, which I bought 2 or 3 years ago, up from a Pentium D + NVidia 9400GT. Even though it's a semi-decent mid-range combo, I'd say, games are requiring more and more of my PC and every new game makes me turn down graphics options in order to have a playable framerate. So having a Fury X would improve my experience a lot, since I don't see myself upgrading my PC again in the near future, maybe would upgrade CPU, because it was one of my worst purchases, and would probably bottleneck the Fury X.

AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5 GHz  |  Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo  |  MSI Radeon HD7950 OC/BE  |  8GB Kingston HyperX Red 1866 Mhz DDR3  |  Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3  |  120GB Kingston HyperX Fury SSD  |  320GB Western Digital HDD  |  Thermaltake Core V71  |  BenQ XL2420Z + Fujistu Eco 19-5  |  Random ASUS keyboard  |  Corsair M60  | HyperX Cloud Gaming Headset

I mean, it's your giveaway, but the 970 is falling behind quickly. You perhaps should have been more specific in what qualifies as a "bad card".

is falling behind quickly? its a card that can play most games just fantastic at 1080p, and pretty good at 1440p. while personaly i am saving up for a r9 390x, i wont be able to afford it for over 6 months unless im lucky. and even then if i got this card i would be able to put that money to something thats not a  shitty a bunch of shitty ass scrapped hard drives that are ready to fail. and get some games that arnt gmod and csgo. lets give that card what it was built for. gta 5, blackops, the witcher. or i dont mnow, you know,

I have:

an i3 4160 (that'll work)

and a GTX 750 Ti (worse than I thought; can't 1080p very well...)

 

Reason(s)

AMD owns ATI - ATI is Canadian (I want to support my country's economy)

A Fury X will let me free with my next rig, not having to worry about a GPU and more of a monitor that can use this beast; I'm not going to be building anything until post-secondary, and it'll help me if I already have a GPU that'll last; technology advances too fast, but this thing should keep up for a long time (especially with water cooling).


I'd appreciate something like this a lot...

 

 

Intel i7 3770 | ASUS P8Z77-V | 32GB Kingstorn HyperX Fury | ASUS Dual Radeon RX 480 (4GB)

512GB Samsung 840 Pro | 3TB WD Green | Corsair CX500 | Corsair Carbide 500R

Hi,

This card would be a great help to me

Im currently in high school and I'm building my first rig ever for vr ,gaming and video/graphic editing every once in a while and I have to save up around 2000$ (don't know how thats gonna happen,I currently have around 500$ which is enough for the cpu) to get a Vr headset and a computer decent enough to run it , this card would help me reach my goal in building a computer for the first time and be more powerful than I could ever afford to make it. I also am the main techie for a non prophet organization who do community clean ups ,food banks and charity stuff , I take and edit all there photos and videos ,design there t-shirts and make certificates and medals for the organization (I do all this with the adobe suite ) . My computer slows all these tasks down and takes years to render/save . This card would benefit me and the organization greatly in that regard. 

 

My current computer:

A Mac Pro 2008 with a 250 gb hdd and  with some old ati GPU

 

My Planned Build:

I plan to have a i5660k which should be more than enough to handle the card

 

Edit:

I know this sounds fake but if you want I can send some of the work that I do for the non-prophet organization (there name is MAS Katy)

 

Thank you for the help

I have a 6700k so CPU is good. My GPU is a 970. I guess it's stronger than most peoples' here but I have a freesync monitor so it'd be nice to take advantage of that. Also it isn't gonna be too good at DX12...

I could really use this GPU lol. I currently game on a laptop which gets roughly 30 fps in Minecraft. (Terrible lol) I'm planning on building my first PC though, which is most likely gonna have either the Intel Pentium G3258, or an i3. If I could get this GPU, then I can actually play other games, which would be on a higher resolution and higher fps. I'm a real person BTW lol. If you don't pick me, I understand since  there can be users that make new accounts to cheat. But my friend was like, bro.. You need to win this giveaway, and i was like yeah I do! Good luck everyone! May the odds be ever in your favor! ;)
