Roy made it perfectly clear. Plenty 'fair' reviews out there.
I like how all those 'fair' reviews have slammed it's noise output. Maybe AMD wont send any cards out to anyone anymore?
TBH - I think the more we read the reviews, the more of a mystery it becomes. W1zzard would have had the same conclusion as most - excellent product but very niche, a tad expensive and too noisy. That is the general consensus. The sites that are lapping up Nano's balls obviously have already forgotten about Fury X but as I keep saying - Fury X and Nano are contrived siblings. AMD thought how best to carve out products from a very poor set of options and this is what they made. Fury X, no custom models. Nano, no custom models. And something in between that cant be confused with either (an air cooled bigger card). Seriously, this is what AMD have done - it's not a plain, top SKU down to bottom SKU, it's a same SKU but given different clothes and some minor tweaks.
I don't blame AMD, the HBM on die step is a massive leap for gfx and AMD MUST be applauded for it. But that very step has made any top to bottom branding impossible. Therefore Fiji exists as a holy Trinity of products but only really differentiated by what cooler got strapped onto it. It's obvious. If AIB's could redesign the Fury X, they'd do things to make Nano look silly.
I hope that AMD get's off it's high horse and lets the partners, Asus in particular, work on the Fury X2 (or whatever). Ares Fury is an awesome product name.
I'd sell my Kingpin for one.
