1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,680
there were rumors for what seemed like forever then there was the unveiling at

2
00:00:04,759 --> 00:00:11,759
E3 then there were the leaked screenshots from the reviewers deck but

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:16,000
finally the Embargo is now up on the fury X from AMD it's time to see what

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:21,070
kind of power this beautiful looking card is packing hit that like button for

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:26,059
more videos featuring The Fury

click now to try it for free the fury X measures in at 7.5 in

9
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:47,480
long that's 30% smaller than a 290x but

10
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:51,879
length isn't everything we joked about the 670 being a little bit less endowed

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,160
than its Brothers back in the day but times have changed people are looking

12
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:01,039
for lots of power in a small package these days and the fury X is here to

13
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:06,960
give featuring a Fiji Core built on a 28 nm process

14
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:12,400
4,096 stream processors which is 1280

15
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:17,479
more than a 290x running at 150 MHz 256

16
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:19,960
texture unit 64 RS gcn 1.2 along with 4

17
00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:24,400
GB of memory which is a bit low for a card that cost

18
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:27,439
$650 and a memory speed of 1 GB per

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,079
second which is really low so it has

20
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:36,880
less RAM and at a lower speed than a 3 90x what the moving on it also has a 496

21
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:42,280
bit memory interface whoa hold on that's eight times that of a 290x which is

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:45,799
sitting at 512 bits that results in the

23
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,759
fury X having a 512 gbyte pers second

24
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:56,719
memory bandwidth compared to the 290x is 320 GB per second boom why is that hbm

25
00:01:54,280 --> 00:02:00,119
or high bandwidth memory this is AMD's bet for the future direction of gpus and

26
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:05,200
they've been working on it for seven years their goal is to simplify PCB

27
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:09,959
design and allow for smaller cards also the pressure of potential stall of GPU

28
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,160
performance growth always hangs AMD states that historically we solve these

29
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:16,160
problems by shrinking and integrating functions and they would be right

30
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,560
looking at the direction of motherboards and CPUs how does it work for graphics

31
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:27,280
cards from the bottom up AMD places a package substrate an interposer right

32
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:31,680
above that then your GPU and a few logic dies for your memory stacked on top of

33
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:37,160
those logic dies you have your four hbm dram dies moving your memory so close to

34
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:42,200
your GPU improves bandwidth per watt and allows for as we've seen extremely wide

35
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:47,120
bus widths but naturally this is extremely new technology and is very

36
00:02:44,519 --> 00:02:51,080
expensive and difficult to produce so you're paying an early adopter premium

37
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,959
speaking of which you cannot currently overclock hbm memory you will likely be

38
00:02:53,800 --> 00:03:00,040
able to in the future but as this Tech is so freakishly new they're probably

39
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,080
just trying to play it safe so so that's Paradigm shifting and awesome time to

40
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:08,680
take a look at the rest of the card however for Io it's rocking three

41
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,720
full-size DisplayPort 1.2s for easy

42
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:16,400
Affinity setup since AMD requires all displays to be plugged into a single

43
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:18,400
card and a single HDMI 1.4 plug no HDMI

44
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:23,519
2.0 so you're limited to 30 HZ when running at 4k on HDMI but like you've

45
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:27,519
got three display ports just use one of those and for all of you screen Junkies

46
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:31,640
you can hook up to six displays into this thing as long as you spring for a

47
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:36,560
DisplayPort Hub moving on to the rest of the exterior you have a cool Radeon

48
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:38,360
LED logo on the top dual 8 Pin PCIe

49
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:44,080
power plugs on the right hand side which could theoretically support 375 watts

50
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:49,120
but won't really have to as the typical load power of this card is

51
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:51,480
275 on the left hand side features no

52
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,720
Crossfire fingers as AMD continues their movement of connecting their multi-card

53
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:59,159
configurations through the motherboard on the back of the card we have a nice

54
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,840
full back plate which is unfortunately interrupted by some various

55
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:07,920
identification stickers and just above where the power connectors are we have

56
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:10,959
the GPU Tac or GPU tachometer which is

57
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:13,920
AMD's solution for load-based LEDs and I

58
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:19,919
have to say I prefer it I hate it when cards change RGB LEDs to signify load no

59
00:04:17,959 --> 00:04:24,160
I don't want my car to change color from white or green or red or whatever the

60
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,280
hell just because it went a little bit faster but having a GPU equivalent of

61
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,800
the carnival game where you slam your Hammer onto a platform in the meter goes

62
00:04:30,039 --> 00:04:36,199
up is totally cool with me the front has another Radeon logo and a really nice

63
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:41,199
looking finish where you can get a better look at the beautiful mixture of

64
00:04:38,479 --> 00:04:45,080
a mirrorlike glossy black nickel aluminum finish which I would complain

65
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:49,479
about usually but I think they implemented it pretty well here and a

66
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:55,199
black soft touch rubber which feels as good as it looks the bottom has an

67
00:04:51,479 --> 00:04:57,280
expected PCI 3.0 16x slot and the rear

68
00:04:55,199 --> 00:05:01,680
features some tubes and a power lead for the fan you might also notice that it's

69
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,600
sealed on many cards this area would be left open to allow for air flow but much

70
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,520
like the io plate and the rest of the card for that matter it is a sealed

71
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:14,919
enclosure which is fine because there's no internal fan once you crack the card

72
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:18,600
open you reveal a tidy looking inside a Cooler Master logo on the pump and a

73
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:23,560
very clever placement of a copper pipe in order to cool the vrm as the liquid

74
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:28,080
travels on by leaving the card we follow a nicely sleeved appropriate length

75
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:34,280
tubing and fan power cable setup to the radiator which is a fairly standard 1x10

76
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,680
mm setup with about 2 and 1/2 in of thickness when measured with the

77
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:42,360
included fan which is appropriate as there is a little bit of Hangover for

78
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:44,120
what I believe is the included radiator

79
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:49,319
this unit also features a pretty legendary nidek gentle typhoon fan which

80
00:05:47,039 --> 00:05:54,400
will be running at a more tame than usual 1500 RPM in order to keep the

81
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:58,960
noise down all in one liquid cooling solutions on addin cards has been a bit

82
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,280
of a rarity but it is definitely picking up speed it makes sense to a lot of

83
00:06:01,039 --> 00:06:08,319
Gamers to dedicate a potential radiator spot to your GPU as pushing your CPU to

84
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:12,639
limit has had quite a reduction in Impact in recent years especially with

85
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:17,840
Haswell and Broadwell dropping tdps by another 20 watts but the additional cost

86
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:22,479
of including it from the OEM could be quite substantial and you as the end

87
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:28,479
user will have to pay for that let me know what you guys think in the comments down below or over on the Forum or even

88
00:06:25,599 --> 00:06:32,560
on Twitter at Luke lafr if this all sounds great to you then you're in luck

89
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,960
because apparently there won't be any other versions of it from ASUS MSI or

90
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:41,319
Sapphire or because none of them will be allowed to customize the card but if you

91
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:45,280
do want a different feel just wait for the R9 Fury which should be coming

92
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,400
around in July and we'll be able to be tinkered with by the addin board

93
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:54,360
Partners although it will be a bit slower stay tuned for our video on that

94
00:06:51,039 --> 00:06:56,840
card speaking of performance I don't

95
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:00,960
have as much to say as I normally do as we were unfortunate enough to have our

96
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:05,080
Fury X show up do away with artifacting but luckily Scott Watson from over at

97
00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:08,479
techreport had our back and supplied us with some graphs we would both really

98
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:12,360
appreciate it if you checked out his Link in the video description down below

99
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:15,639
to see his rundown and explanation of these numbers including some more

100
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:20,080
information like game settings and system specs as far as I can glean from

101
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:25,560
these charts it's a relatively close race but the 980ti still seems to win

102
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,560
quite handily and happens to be the same price at

103
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:33,199
$650 and once we get a replacement card from AMD I'd love to take it for a spin

104
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,479
and overclock the hell out of it to see if the story changes however if you want

105
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,759
to see that be sure to hit the like button down below again in terms of

106
00:07:38,599 --> 00:07:45,840
power this thing's pretty hungry Scott's graph is under load of Crisis 3 at 4K

107
00:07:43,879 --> 00:07:49,400
not Peak Performance and the wattage noted here is full system usage just so

108
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:52,879
you know again the link in the description down below for more

109
00:07:50,879 --> 00:07:56,319
information in conclusion the fury didn't exactly rip NVIDIA apart and

110
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,960
leave them in shreds like some people expected it's short and while we laughed

111
00:07:58,599 --> 00:08:05,120
at the 67 the market has changed and I think we're ready for that now due to ITX

112
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:10,199
motherboards and little tiny systems becoming the norm and them wanting short

113
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,759
little graphics cards that just move the cooling to a single rad instead and that

114
00:08:12,159 --> 00:08:19,360
could be kind of cool for a lot of people gcn 1.2 means better direct X12

115
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:25,800
support than older generation AMD or older generation NVIDIA cards and hbm is

116
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:30,159
finally here albeit a little lower of a capacity than we may have expected all

117
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,479
right guys I have something a little different for you now instead of a

118
00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:38,680
traditional ad spot for cable mod we wanted to spice things up and do a build

119
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:44,240
log of sorts of their new customizable mod Flex sleeved wires check it out I'm

120
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:49,519
starting with this actually which is already done so this is what your cable

121
00:08:46,959 --> 00:08:54,560
mod Flex sleeved wires will actually turn into if you want to do it in this

122
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:58,800
way and then I will be doing silver and orange for the next one so while you

123
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:02,600
just check out these cables going to read off some facts about the mod Flex

124
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:09,160
wires they going have a whole bunch of different connector types 24 pin ATX 8

125
00:09:05,079 --> 00:09:12,200
Pin EPS 4 pin ATX six pin PCIe and 8 Pin

126
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,959
PCIe in colors of blue green black light

127
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:19,399
blue light green orange purple red silver white and yellow and the lengths

128
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:22,079
of the cables will be 20 cm 40 cm and 60

129
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:26,959
cm so like I said the idea is just kind of making your own cables so your

130
00:09:24,279 --> 00:09:31,959
connector will have a white dotted side and a side that has nothing on it so

131
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:36,600
that means that the white tips of these cables have to go into the end with the

132
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:39,760
white dot and then I have to pull these white ends off so what I do is just use

133
00:09:38,279 --> 00:09:42,959
three of my fingers to kind of get all the way around it shimmy it down a

134
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:47,000
little bit just so it gets over the metal piece then I can grab on the end and just pull it

135
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,839
off and just start putting things

136
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:59,839
in boom and done orange now moving on to

137
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:03,040
the gray one we do pretty much the same

138
00:09:59,839 --> 00:10:05,360
thing all right so now we just go in the

139
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,360
other

140
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:14,560
holes um and it looks really good so that was the white end so what I can

141
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:16,920
just do is plug this guy in there we go

142
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:19,880
now this is the black end first thing that we actually need to do is get all

143
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:24,399
these black tips off the end so let's do that really quickly like to or something

144
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,800
so now we come around and just mirror the other

145
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:34,519
side there we go you have yourself a nice and fancy in this case either

146
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:41,320
silver and orange or black and green cable whoo my

147
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:47,920
shirt's changed anyways guys I hope you liked the modflex DIY extension cables

148
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,800
from cable mod little weird build loggy

149
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:53,000
kind of thing I don't really know what to call it it's an interesting form of

150
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:58,200
an integration I think it's pretty cool that you can make basically whatever

151
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,600
color combination you want very easily

152
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:04,720
making your own cables can be super annoying so now you can make cool like

153
00:11:02,079 --> 00:11:09,399
multicolored cables all on your own within minutes anyways guys that's it

154
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:13,120
