XFX Also Readies its Radeon R9 Fury Air-Cooled Graphics Card
In addition to the first liquid-cooled Radeon R9 Fury, XFX is ready with an air-cooled card designed to sell at the price AMD intended for this SKU. XFX' air-cooled Radeon R9 Fury graphics card features a triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution that's very similar (probably identical) in design to the Tri-X cooler used by Sapphire. Underneath it, is an AMD reference-design "Fiji" PCB, seating the 3,584 SP R9 Fury ASIC. The card could offer 0 dBA (silent) idle, and stick to AMD reference clock speeds of 1000 MHz core, and 500 MHz memory. It could sell at AMD's baseline price for the R9 Fury, at $550.

It's also put it into the league of full-sized cards..... this "Fury" will certainly not be causing much of a rage and, as anticipated, has poor sales at its currently price point.... it'll be even worse for this particular version as theres not a single reason to chose it lol :twitch:
Even with LN2 the 6+1+1 of the refrence PCB Furys should be fine since it's an upgraded version of the 290X VRM but the Fury uses less power than the 290X.
I like this cooler on this one nice and clean cut and no kiddy bs on it or silly fancy plastic crap.But in the end it has more benefits than the typical card which i said above.
If you need\want a small one buy one with a water cooler and be done with it.
Not all of us want our gear in small cases.
For watercooling I'd still go for reference PCB since it's smaller and the blocks are cheaper and there aren't any blocks for the ASUS card ATM.
.... to which I still see very little wiggle room for in its current segment lol
The entire "Fury" line-up is a dog when you consider the coin they want for this amazing little card....... "Flacid", would have been a better title, to be fair, and may have sold more units. :shadedshu:
Unless you're wondering this card replaces my factory over clocked 970 and it's the first AMD card I've owned for a while. I just think that HBM memory still has a lot of possibilities going forward whereas GDDR5 is dead. Time will tell.
The 3dFx Voodoo was my 1st Real Graphics' card ...:rockout: 16mb Memory I think still sik
Did you catch the comment from an actual Sapphire Fury owner?
"it's also not much slower than a 980ti in most games and is at least 25% cheaper. What's not to like?"
