00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:06.680
there were rumors for what seemed like forever then there was the unveiling at

00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:11.759
E3 then there were the leaked screenshots from the reviewers deck but

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

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:21.070
kind of power this beautiful looking card is packing hit that like button for

00:00:18.680 --> 00:00:26.059
more videos featuring The Fury

00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:36.079
X fresh books is the super simple invoicing solution that lets you get

00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:37.840
organized save time and get paid faster

00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:45.079
click now to try it for free the fury X measures in at 7.5 in

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:47.480
long that's 30% smaller than a 290x but

00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:51.879
length isn't everything we joked about the 670 being a little bit less endowed

00:00:49.760 --> 00:00:56.160
than its Brothers back in the day but times have changed people are looking

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

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:06.960
give featuring a Fiji Core built on a 28 nm process

00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:12.400
4,096 stream processors which is 1280

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:17.479
more than a 290x running at 150 MHz 256

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:19.960
texture unit 64 RS gcn 1.2 along with 4

00:01:17.479 --> 00:01:24.400
GB of memory which is a bit low for a card that cost

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:27.439
$650 and a memory speed of 1 GB per

00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:30.079
second which is really low so it has

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

00:01:34.399 --> 00:01:42.280
bit memory interface whoa hold on that's eight times that of a 290x which is

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:45.799
sitting at 512 bits that results in the

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:48.759
fury X having a 512 gbyte pers second

00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:56.719
memory bandwidth compared to the 290x is 320 GB per second boom why is that hbm

00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:00.119
or high bandwidth memory this is AMD's bet for the future direction of gpus and

00:01:58.560 --> 00:02:05.200
they've been working on it for seven years their goal is to simplify PCB

00:02:02.479 --> 00:02:09.959
design and allow for smaller cards also the pressure of potential stall of GPU

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.160
performance growth always hangs AMD states that historically we solve these

00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:16.160
problems by shrinking and integrating functions and they would be right

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:22.560
looking at the direction of motherboards and CPUs how does it work for graphics

00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:27.280
cards from the bottom up AMD places a package substrate an interposer right

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

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:37.160
those logic dies you have your four hbm dram dies moving your memory so close to

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:42.200
your GPU improves bandwidth per watt and allows for as we've seen extremely wide

00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:47.120
bus widths but naturally this is extremely new technology and is very

00:02:44.519 --> 00:02:51.080
expensive and difficult to produce so you're paying an early adopter premium

00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:55.959
speaking of which you cannot currently overclock hbm memory you will likely be

00:02:53.800 --> 00:03:00.040
able to in the future but as this Tech is so freakishly new they're probably

00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:03.080
just trying to play it safe so so that's Paradigm shifting and awesome time to

00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:08.680
take a look at the rest of the card however for Io it's rocking three

00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.720
full-size DisplayPort 1.2s for easy

00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:16.400
Affinity setup since AMD requires all displays to be plugged into a single

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:18.400
card and a single HDMI 1.4 plug no HDMI

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

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:27.519
got three display ports just use one of those and for all of you screen Junkies

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

00:03:29.920 --> 00:03:36.560
DisplayPort Hub moving on to the rest of the exterior you have a cool Radeon

00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:38.360
LED logo on the top dual 8 Pin PCIe

00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:44.080
power plugs on the right hand side which could theoretically support 375 watts

00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:49.120
but won't really have to as the typical load power of this card is

00:03:45.920 --> 00:03:51.480
275 on the left hand side features no

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:55.720
Crossfire fingers as AMD continues their movement of connecting their multi-card

00:03:53.480 --> 00:03:59.159
configurations through the motherboard on the back of the card we have a nice

00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:02.840
full back plate which is unfortunately interrupted by some various

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:07.920
identification stickers and just above where the power connectors are we have

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:10.959
the GPU Tac or GPU tachometer which is

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:13.920
AMD's solution for load-based LEDs and I

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

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

00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:28.280
hell just because it went a little bit faster but having a GPU equivalent of

00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:32.800
the carnival game where you slam your Hammer onto a platform in the meter goes

00:04:30.039 --> 00:04:36.199
up is totally cool with me the front has another Radeon logo and a really nice

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:41.199
looking finish where you can get a better look at the beautiful mixture of

00:04:38.479 --> 00:04:45.080
a mirrorlike glossy black nickel aluminum finish which I would complain

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:49.479
about usually but I think they implemented it pretty well here and a

00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:55.199
black soft touch rubber which feels as good as it looks the bottom has an

00:04:51.479 --> 00:04:57.280
expected PCI 3.0 16x slot and the rear

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

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

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

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:14.919
enclosure which is fine because there's no internal fan once you crack the card

00:05:11.960 --> 00:05:18.600
open you reveal a tidy looking inside a Cooler Master logo on the pump and a

00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:23.560
very clever placement of a copper pipe in order to cool the vrm as the liquid

00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:28.080
travels on by leaving the card we follow a nicely sleeved appropriate length

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:34.280
tubing and fan power cable setup to the radiator which is a fairly standard 1x10

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:37.680
mm setup with about 2 and 1/2 in of thickness when measured with the

00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:42.360
included fan which is appropriate as there is a little bit of Hangover for

00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:44.120
what I believe is the included radiator

00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:49.319
this unit also features a pretty legendary nidek gentle typhoon fan which

00:05:47.039 --> 00:05:54.400
will be running at a more tame than usual 1500 RPM in order to keep the

00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:58.960
noise down all in one liquid cooling solutions on addin cards has been a bit

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

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:08.319
Gamers to dedicate a potential radiator spot to your GPU as pushing your CPU to

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:12.639
limit has had quite a reduction in Impact in recent years especially with

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:17.840
Haswell and Broadwell dropping tdps by another 20 watts but the additional cost

00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:22.479
of including it from the OEM could be quite substantial and you as the end

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

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

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:36.960
because apparently there won't be any other versions of it from ASUS MSI or

00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.319
Sapphire or because none of them will be allowed to customize the card but if you

00:06:39.280 --> 00:06:45.280
do want a different feel just wait for the R9 Fury which should be coming

00:06:43.080 --> 00:06:48.400
around in July and we'll be able to be tinkered with by the addin board

00:06:46.840 --> 00:06:54.360
Partners although it will be a bit slower stay tuned for our video on that

00:06:51.039 --> 00:06:56.840
card speaking of performance I don't

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

00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:05.080
Fury X show up do away with artifacting but luckily Scott Watson from over at

00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:08.479
techreport had our back and supplied us with some graphs we would both really

00:07:07.080 --> 00:07:12.360
appreciate it if you checked out his Link in the video description down below

00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.639
to see his rundown and explanation of these numbers including some more

00:07:13.960 --> 00:07:20.080
information like game settings and system specs as far as I can glean from

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:25.560
these charts it's a relatively close race but the 980ti still seems to win

00:07:23.120 --> 00:07:29.560
quite handily and happens to be the same price at

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

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

00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:40.759
to see that be sure to hit the like button down below again in terms of

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

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:49.400
not Peak Performance and the wattage noted here is full system usage just so

00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:52.879
you know again the link in the description down below for more

00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:56.319
information in conclusion the fury didn't exactly rip NVIDIA apart and

00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.960
leave them in shreds like some people expected it's short and while we laughed

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

00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:10.199
motherboards and little tiny systems becoming the norm and them wanting short

00:08:07.840 --> 00:08:13.759
little graphics cards that just move the cooling to a single rad instead and that

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

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:25.800
support than older generation AMD or older generation NVIDIA cards and hbm is

00:08:22.960 --> 00:08:30.159
finally here albeit a little lower of a capacity than we may have expected all

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:34.479
right guys I have something a little different for you now instead of a

00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:38.680
traditional ad spot for cable mod we wanted to spice things up and do a build

00:08:36.760 --> 00:08:44.240
log of sorts of their new customizable mod Flex sleeved wires check it out I'm

00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:49.519
starting with this actually which is already done so this is what your cable

00:08:46.959 --> 00:08:54.560
mod Flex sleeved wires will actually turn into if you want to do it in this

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

00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:02.600
just check out these cables going to read off some facts about the mod Flex

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:09.160
wires they going have a whole bunch of different connector types 24 pin ATX 8

00:09:05.079 --> 00:09:12.200
Pin EPS 4 pin ATX six pin PCIe and 8 Pin

00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:13.959
PCIe in colors of blue green black light

00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:19.399
blue light green orange purple red silver white and yellow and the lengths

00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:22.079
of the cables will be 20 cm 40 cm and 60

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

00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:31.959
connector will have a white dotted side and a side that has nothing on it so

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

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

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

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

00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:51.839
off and just start putting things

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:59.839
in boom and done orange now moving on to

00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:03.040
the gray one we do pretty much the same

00:09:59.839 --> 00:10:05.360
thing all right so now we just go in the

00:10:03.040 --> 00:10:05.360
other

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

00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:16.920
just do is plug this guy in there we go

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

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

00:10:22.040 --> 00:10:26.800
so now we come around and just mirror the other

00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:34.519
side there we go you have yourself a nice and fancy in this case either

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:41.320
silver and orange or black and green cable whoo my

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:47.920
shirt's changed anyways guys I hope you liked the modflex DIY extension cables

00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:49.800
from cable mod little weird build loggy

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

00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:58.200
an integration I think it's pretty cool that you can make basically whatever

00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.600
color combination you want very easily

00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:04.720
making your own cables can be super annoying so now you can make cool like

00:11:02.079 --> 00:11:09.399
multicolored cables all on your own within minutes anyways guys that's it

00:11:07.959 --> 00:11:13.120
