AMD Fury X Owners' Thread

OK Something for everybody:

Old grat Scene Demos (i will in time upload more from my Eternalit HDD )

My Mega Scene Demos

Like always with Mega download through browser c1:

3s-Vegas Rulez (click on it when runs it must be windowed)

And all should work on WIN_X NP :hatty:

 

Is ROTR not one of the best optimised DX12 games so far though, at least multi platform anyway.

Nearly everything else has horrible performance for everyone.
Last i checked ROTR was doing well on AMD hardware and async only gives a small performance increase anyway.

 

Hitman for me is way more optimised.

 

I'm taking visuals into account when comparing things, not just the highest framerate.

Hitman visually is not in the same league as ROTR.

 

Really?

Hands on with Hitman Episode 3: Marrakesh - New gameplay

I think both Games Have great Visuals, but HitMan is much Complicated one to display/render :nerd:

 

That's actually right. It is quite failure to have game where most demanding thing to render is static terrain geometry. Hitman has many actors moving around, dynamic lighting on them. And on top of that, actors are not easy to cull type of geometry. So it actually can't be optimized by software.

 

Ohh its not Failure on AMD XboX1 Looking OK and works Fair most of the Time THX to Async.
We need to wait for Patches to FIX the GIMP :bang:
In the mean time game will be 9.99USD :banana: GoTY

 

Whats the highest possible overclock that anyone has achieved on this through voltage unlock??? on normal stock cooler? curious, I haven't been following the card for quite sometime.

Also, from the card's first release, did the driver showed big difference now then it first came out??? Any significant changes?

 

Hey, my max OC (Fury) is 1150 on core. Can't handle more but i run mine on 1080 24/7. Boost is nice.

Yes, drivers have improved a lot. AMD tend to get more mileage out of their cards than Nvidia.

 

The highest OC I have managed (though unstable) was 1225/590. Though I can maintain 1150/570 stable.

After making a custom bios with a +50mv offset on HBM I can maintain 600hz on memory stable.

 

Is it worth using a modded bios?

I was tempted to use Fox's version but dont now if the "risk" is worth it to achieve a higher OC... right now im running on 1101/550 on default settings.

 

The "safe voltage" consensus for HBM seems to be 1.356v and that is what a +50mv offset gives you. My Fury Tri X is under water so I never really hit or go over 50c so I know temps are more than safe.

As far as the prolonged side effects of increased HBM voltage goes, I don't think anyone has been running increased voltage long enough to give an answer.

 

Lets take a game for example.

Crysis3 from first set of drivers and then the current drivers, how much improvement in fps %???

I am very curious cause I always wanted this card but the overclocking potential wasn't there, that's what pushed me back a bit and wanted to see later down the road if it could be tweaked later along with bios being modded and such.

If the overclock was improved as people was hoping for, I would have gotten two of these bad boys real fast, I know, 4gb vram however some videos shown that hbm uses less vram usage then the gddr5 counterpart, depending on game, this was amazing to see at least, probably has to do with memory compression.

 

Not really. Forza is running well, same with the (patched) Gears Ultimate. Warhammer seems to be doing nicely too, and I can't speak about Hitman.

 

It is to tedious for me to go back and test with different drivers lol but as far as OCing potential you have to understand that Fiji scales differently than it's other AMD and Nvidia counter parts. People see maxwell and pascal with 300 and 400mhz OC and think any card that can't be pushed that far isn't a good OCer.

In uni-engine benchmarks such as valley and heaven I see about a 9 to 10 fps gain between my stock 1000/500 clocks and 1160/600. In AotS I see between 6 and 7 fps gains at all resolutions with my OC.

In Firestrike there is an 11 to 12 fps difference between stock and OC and almost 2500 point difference in graphics scores.

And keep in mind I unlocked some of the shaders on my fury so it has 3840 instead of the stock 3584. If I was to go back to a stock bios we are looking at another 1.5 to 2 fps loss in performance.

With Firestrike as a base, Stock card versus unlocked OCed card, there could be a potential 14fps difference and almost 3000 graphics score point difference.

That being said increasing the core clock on a maxwell chip of say Hawaii chip by 160 or 180Mhz wont yield close to the gains that a Fiji chip does.

RoTR is probably the worst running Dx12 title for me. Quantum Break, AotS, Forza, GoW, Hitman, all run a lot better for me.

 

Comparing apples to oranges really.

Maxwell gains significantly more performance comparing max OC to the two. A 25% gain is not uncommon going from stock clocks to 1500.

 

Well that's my point really. If I am not mistaken the reference clock for a 980ti is 1076 right?

With that in mind 1500 is what almost a 40% OC that yields 25% performance increase. Is that better than an 18% OC that is yielding 16% gains (according to FS)?

When you compare OC to performance ratios the Fury isn't a bad OCer imo.

 

1076 is the base clock i believe. Pretty much all 980tis have stock boost in the 1200s(regardless of what the cards specs say. Each one will boost differently)

 

base is 1006mhz, nvidia boost 1076mhz, real ~ 1170Mhz.

in one review I saw 1164MHz boost as effective sustained, imo that 1200Mhz was just a quick peak.


Mine auto boosts for 164Mhz (1178 to 1342), I remember old Kepler had 144Mhz (940 to 1084).

1080GTX boost3.0 has 250-350Mhz total boost.
