Agreed great price, cold voters must be those who don't get free shipping!

Great price, cold voters must be Nvidia fanboys.

To answer my own question, not too badly. It also runs fairly quiet.

Good price but I must not be tempted by a new graphics card until Pascal and Polaris are released.

Its a pre order, so they dont have them in stock yet

Anyone bought and recieved GPU via this deal?

​Yes i know what you mean, going to wait till the gfx cards catch up to 4k, it'll be a while. :-\

AMD are competing in the GPU market. They have a rival in each tier, apart from maybe the Titan X. Yes, NVIDIA have most of the market, that doesn't mean they aren't competiting, it just means NVIDIA have a bigger budget for marketing, which they clearly do, if you see the latest games with GameWorks.
AMD pushed for FreeSync, HBM, GPUOpen, LiquidVR, and even Mantle. It's not like they're sitting their idle not doing anything for the GPU market.

When was the last AMD desktop CPU released that wasn't just an overclocked version of an older overclocked version? Sure, if people stop buying AMD products, and they can no longer afford to compete, it will likely go the way you think it's going... That could happen to any company.

The coming generation (Polaris, Pascal) is the first lot of GPU's released after DX12/Vulkan. It will be interesting to see how much better GCN architecture can perform once they home in on it. You see how the 290X and 390X perform being unleashed from the CPU.

Maybe we can come back to this at the end of the year :smiley:

​I didn't say it was....
Yet.

I said, gpu's are in danger of going that way.

The signs are there.

I will take that as a compliment.

I think you qualify as an AMD fanboy. :laughing:

I know AMD will be better already.

Async compute and Primitive Discard will ensure this.
I would never buy a GPU from such a crooked business.
As far as I am concerned AMD already have better GPU's anyway, But that's my opinion and I respect yours.

And can we assume that if Nvidia does the same and outperforms AMD, you'll buy Nvidia.

Graphics cards are in danger of going the way cpu's have.
Intel have had no real competition and it shows in their cpu's. Hardly changed since about 2008.
AMD really need to pull something out of the bag both with Zen & Polaris.
Strong competition is good for the consumer.

I'm team red. Not because I think they are always better but because if Intel/nvidia get the monopoly then I'm turning to console gaming.

If you are a man of your word and AMD GPU's perform better than Nvidia GPU's, you will next be buying an AMD GPU.

For this price I'll just take a hit on graphics and buy a console. Can't justify PC component prices especially with the depreciation.

Like you, I want a single card with plenty of grunt for my Mini ITX setup. Holding off VR for the time being.

Nvidia will milk it with Pascal. AMD need to raise their game to put pressure on with Polaris. I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Other than 4gb, this is a very good deal.

I wish! That would be some serious fire power.
I don't think we will have that by then :disappointed:

Maybe with SLI but I can't as I have a mini ITX <3

I'm waiting for a graphics card that can do 4k on Ultra settings @144hz...
... won't be long now...

Some one didn't believe they were a £100,000 and now u can pick them up for less than £400 with a better panel , higher hz and more features.
Those original expensive 4K tv won't play 4K blu Ray movies and PC is 30hz.
£600,000 at Harrods is just ridiculous but I bet u some one bought atleast 1 lol

Only £100k? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/9155878/600000-TV-on-sale-in-Harrods.html

​one is a gimick, an image effect that tricks your eyes in a superficial manner. the other fools your subconscious into believing that the game you're playing is real. not similar at all...

Heated added OP :smile: .

I owned a Fury Tri-X for a while and thought it was a stonking card. The XFX cooler looks near identical if shroud and fans are disregarded, I reckon the heatsink is the same. The difference in GPU temps that I got on air with a little fan profile modding was night and day between my Vapor-X 290X. The Fury Tri-X maintained 55C on GPU easily and very quietly, I never saw temps like that on my Vapor-X 290X (~75C 1100/1525 OC).

I was able to unlock 4 of the 8 disabled CU = 3840SP, due to having 3 Fiji cards at the time to test I only had time to run 3DM FS compare, genuine Fury X on left and Fury 3840SP on right, both at same 1090MHz GPU, I didn't OC the RAM at that time.

Currently I have Fury X, here is a compare of it's daily use OC 1135/535 vs the Vapor-X 290X @ 1100/1525.

Really good deal if someone looking for over 1080p gaming. If I haven't got two r9 390 I would get two of those.

No cold voters are likely to be those who splashed over £300 on a graphics card, only to see the price slashed by at least a third less than 1 year later. Not voted either way. If money is no object yeah I'm sure it's a 'great price' but this is silly money for any graphics card - as are the eye-watering prices for even more extreme models - for which no game even exists that will even need that level of processing power.

Shame about the lack of HDMI 2.0 on these. Heat any way.

Voted hot. A good deal but I'm definitely going to wait for the new cards.

​doesnt the tv comparsion just make his point valid?

might as well wait for the price to drop before its worth buying.

Which makes it an even better deal. I still think it's too close to the release of new cards to cave in.

I'm not interested in 4k stuff yet - I just want 1080p, 60 fps with all the eye candy. My 970 will keep me happy for now.

How, is it 'daft'? Not that I expect an informed debate with someone on HUKD who believes their own opinions and nothing else. 3D and VR were/are touted as the next big thing, both have an incredibly high-cost to entry, require additional hardware, complex configuration - I cannot believe the average household is going to spend the money to accept VR as it currently is. Even the original Oculus Rift (that was considered groundbreaking) has barely made waves beyond the concept and development - it has some uptake but is considered niche. I've not seen anyone using a Gear VR, etc. other than in showing it off as part of a tech demo. We'll see, and if it takes off, then great because it'll become more reasonably affordable as well.

How does this compare with a 980ti?

Console sold at a good chunk? Really? Don't CEX pay like £25 for an xbox 360? I've got two chucked in a cupboard because it's not worth selling them after courier fees etc.

And you took a massive loss on your PC because it's 8 years old lol. At that old it's pre sandy bridge, which rendered everything before it obsolete.

My rig is based around z77/sandy bridge (2011) and I could easily sell it all now and make £900! 2011 is when you should have cashed in on your PC for sure...

As I said, the key is to know when the best time is to sell.

Or perhaps expressing an opinion. Don't think that's breaking any site rules. :smirk:

3D TVs and VR are so utterly different. Daft even comparing them...

3d was a fad, no doubt. VR aint not fad, although could have numerous repercussions, just wait and see, well that's my onions anyway.

Although I did buy a HD DVD :confused:

Like 3D did for TVs and PCs...? I suspect it's maybe a well-marketed, but soon-to-be-passing fad.

good time for retailers to get rid of stock, otherwise......uh oh....

good card though, would rather get a Nano as it sips less juice, and isn't much slower.

A lot of games on the console are played at 720p and 30fps, even a second hand, £35 card can do that.

TBH, as always I would still wait,... what 2 months? or so

Looks like AMD are about to bring back some of that market share. Vid cards are much more relevant now, as VR looks to be the next big thing in the techworld

Yeah then lose 10% to ebay in fee's and have someone use it for a while then sent it back as you have no rights as a seller on ebay.
Most people don't have this much money to splurge on pc componants, I agree if you get a good pc it is miles better than a console for graphics/resolution and the games are cheaper, but putting it all together as a total life cost its still more expensive. I paid £1200 for my pc 8 years ago which I recently sold for £100 because of depreciation. Thats £137.50 a year for 8 years, I could buy a new console every 2 years at current pricing, and then a console can be resold for a good chunk before the next gen comes in.

Unless you're doing rendering that makes use of graphics cards, games dev or image manipulation that needs it I hardly see the point of paying so much money on tech. If they held their value Lease computers would be a big thing, but the person paying for the pc would inevitably lose out.

It's kind of like 200mb broadband, you only get it to say you have it, 10mb sustained at peak times is all that's needed unless you're hosting.

​Wat. How has PC gaming good to the dogs? Hasn't Steam, etc revived it? A few years ago developers weren't even bothering with releasing PC Versions of games, but now it's pretty much only Sony exclusives they don't end up there...

Consoles depreciate just as fast.
This card will always play better throughout the ps4 life time.
Plus games are cheaper.
Both have there perks but let's be honest a ps4 plays crap compared to a PC with this card

I didn't say the games weren't optimised as that's clearly the case but people support nvidia and game works and that's what is breaking games.
Non game work titles play fine.
Also this is a great price for this card although I wouldn't buy a card now as new ones are dropping.
PC has gone to the dogs in the last 5 years

How did you waste your money? Did your graphics card suddenly explode and stop working when a new card (or price reduction) came out.

have a Google.
The price upon release was shocking and that was a cheap set they went over £100,000

Except all the people I know who buy these high end cards sell their old ones back at the same time. Given how long it takes for the previous kings of the crop to drop in price, they do pretty well out of it. But, like anything, ymmv.

Based on the FuryX PCB if anyone is thinking of water cooling - easy to find a block.

Lets be honest whats crap is a game thats written/designed in a way that it can only be played to not even its full potencial by a 500 quid graphics card. Thats twice the price of a ps4 and not cut the mustard in 3 years. Lets think how often and where the money goes!

20 grand for a 4K tv lol.

Well that's tech and I understand your point about not holding it value but nothing does except rare expensive cars and houses.
Look at 4K tv for example was £20,000 for a cheap set less than 3 years ago without streaming and now they can be bought for under £400 with new better features.
Even apple products can be bought half price after a year or 2.
Try playing rise of the tomb raider with a crap card and see if u can hold even 20 fps at 1080p on ultra.
Even the 970 can't hold 60fps on new games at 1080p and even the not so mighty Titian X can't do it

​either trolling, uninformed, or not playing any games released in the last 5 years.

I don't know if they hold their value any more than the last time I wasted £300+ on a graphics card - but that will be the very LAST time I waste over £300 on a graphics card. Except if I find a suitcase of used notes of course.

What's with all these super powerful cards getting discounts, all I want is a cheap 960 or 970 to tide me over until the new cards. Let me play Dark Souls 3 please :smile:

Agreed great price, cold voters must be those who don't get free shipping!
