Who in the hell would make a 390X2?! 550W TDP if I'm not guessing wrong...how and why?

 

Also, who wants to go in on two of those with me and Crossfire? Suck it, 1080 Ti. Our setup blows you away and doubles as a convection oven with a convenient hot plate up top. In the winter, we can take the side panels off and use it to heat the village.

in AU  that's illegal, we already have 40+c days, that'd make my room into a sauna

a fury is comparable to a 1070, it's positioned a bit below a 1070. 

fury x is not fury.

Which EVGA exactly?

Just the EVGA 600w 80 Plus certified

Does anyone have some good R9 Fury benchmarks? Maybe featuring the 1060 6gb or the rx 480 8gb

Hard numbers, no. Off the top of my head, better. The Fury outperforms either the 480 or the 1060 handily. At $230, if your PSU can handle it, it's a sure thing.

I would not trust such a high powered card in it tbh

So you think the 480 8gb will be a better choice.

with that psu i'd either get the 480 or plan for a quick upgrade to a cx550m/s12ii 620w. it's pretty mediocre in quality and isn't suited for powering up a fury.

You can get a 480 8GB and a new PSU

There's much to be said for quality. While the EVGA white units (like yours, and like three of mine) are perfectly good for low to midrange builds with lightweight GPUs like a 1050 Ti, 460, 950, 960, etc., the issue is that a Fury draws a ton of power under load. Your CPU will also draw power, as will your drives, as will your fans and cooling. Some PSUs are perfectly fine running at high load for extended periods of time. Most are not.

 

Think of it this way: assume that your car's engine is rated to 100 MPH. Let's assume you own a Subaru Impreza, and you're spending hours at a time running at 90-95 MPH. Subaru engines are godlike, so your car can handle the stress without losing any appreciable lifespan. That's Seasonic, that's the top-tier Corsairs and EVGAs.

 

Now let's assume you're in a Hyundai Accent. There's nothing wrong with the Accent. It's a perfectly good car, but it's cheaply made so it can be sold cheap. If you try and run that Accent at 90-95 MPH for hours on end, you may not have immediate problems, but you will wear down the engine faster than the dude keeping pace with you in the Subaru will. After enough of that constant 90-95 MPH, either your Accent's performance will start to fall off, or something will break. The $11,000 Accent seemed like a great way to save money at the time, but that $25,000 Impreza is going to be running on down the road long after your Fiesta is dead and buried.

 

And that's kind of the comparison here. Your EVGA unit is the Accent. Perfectly good for everyday use, but not designed to be run at or near its rated max for extended periods of time. I use three of those EVGA white units in different builds, because they're constantly on sale for $30-35 and they get the job done. When I'm dropping in higher-quality components or more demanding GPUs, I spend $50-60 on Seasonics and Corsair CX-M units, because I know those can handle their rated load, and I know they're going to last damn near forever.

Are you sure buying this card?

[4960X]

I'd go with a RX 480 / RX 580. It looks like a decent mid range cards judging by this review.
