R9 Fury?

[TurkeyClub]

Would you guys go with an R9 Fury over a 1060?  I want a card under 270$ and I saw the sapphire nitro Fury. I'm running a 500 watt evga powersupply if that helps. 

[ARikozuM]

Yes. The 4GB of HBM does much better than the 6GB of GDDR5.

[Verrierr]

I'm pretty sure AMD recommends a power supply rated at above 600W for R9 Fury. This thing is really power hungry.

[TurkeyClub]

Ok

[ARikozuM]

Trying to find benchmarks, but I find that @deXxterlab97 used to be (or maybe he's a saboteur on LTT?) on Tom's Hardware.

Feel free to burn him at the stake. /s

So i would need a different psu, I heard that too.  Would you guys know of a cheap 600w then?  I don't really care about modularity, butnthat would be nice.

All card manufacturers inflate their required PSU requirements to take into account subpar PSUs.

You don't. It uses 410 watts full system under load. You'd be fine as long as you have a decent 500w PSU.

You can get by with a good quality 500 or 550W.

Could always try it and if it dies, RMA it (if it's still under warranty), sell it and buy something better?

That's reassuring

Or this one. Cheaper, if you're on a bit of a budget.

OP, you really should have thought of this a few days ago.   The Seasonic G was on sale for $44.

That PSU is bottom barrel quality. 

 

Meaning that a card pulling 410 watts (assuming the previous info is correct) that the efficiency rating at that high of draw is going to be piss poor and likely unstable when you include the other functions of your PC.

80+ white certified is really trash for anything pulling near the limit IMO. You'd be better off with the 1060 on the merit of power consumption alone, if you are not going to upgrade PSU's.

PSU's will output their rating while drawing more from the wall. Efficiency measures the power from the wall not the PC. The 410W is the power consumption of the computer's entire input.

80+ rating is not indicative of quality. @STRMfrmXMN can tell you more.

I think this conversation strayed a lot from the original question which was:

And my answer is: No I wouldn't. Get 1060.

 

If you favor AMD over Nvidia you could also buy RX 480

[STRMfrmXMN]

I'd get the Fury over the 1060 but both are good. Although everybody mentioned your PSU and it's probably best to replace it, especially if you get the Fury.

meh, you took half of what I said out of context.

R9 Fury all the way...sell that PSU and get this one instead:

i was their top 3 for a week

 

fuck

 

meow

 

wait

 

what

 

is it a spam?

[grayperview]

The fury can be undervolted a fair bit at stock frequencies (1000mhz), i personally run mine at -48 on afterburner, and the card uses significantly less power and produces less heat (under 55c with a custom fan profile 40%), also you maybe able to unlock the locked CU's and make your fury a fury X.

Nope. I own two of that PSU, and I love it as a quick, cheap option for, say, an i3/270X combo. Or a G3258/750 Ti pairing. Not for an R9 Furry.
