When AMD announces a new product, its devoted following erupts in a frenzy. AMD finally has a chance to prove whether or not the rumours about its flagship. The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics cards were true after months of teasing. Is it possible to outperform Nvidia’s notably efficient Maxwell architecture in the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. However, with a more advanced GPU, cutting-edge memory technology, and a closed-loop liquid cooler?
AMD’s “compact die strategy” was first publicly stated nearly 7 years ago today. AMD gave up trying to catch up after failing to compete with NVIDIA on the Radeon HD 2900 XT. Rather than wasting time and money trying to keep up with NVIDIA’s ever-increasing die sizes. The company would instead concentrate on developing smaller GPUs for the more lucrative sub-$300 market. Meanwhile, AMD would use multi-GPU technology known as CrossFire to compete in high-end markets. This can be done by delivering even higher performance at a cost comparable to NVIDIA’s flagship cards.
Structure and Function
The AMD Radeon R9 Fury X new Fiji CPU introduces a number of significant physical design changes. The most notable of which is the card’s use of HBM memory rather than the more traditional GDDR5. But here are the broad strokes of the Radeon R9 Fury X’s technical specs from AMD.
The Radeon R9 Fury X, like Nvidia’s latest cards, is still manufactured on the 28nm process. With the transition to the 14nm and 16nm processes scheduled for 2016. In terms of performance, the Radeon R9 Fury X is a significant upgrade over AMD’s previous flagship single-chip card. The Radeon R9 290X. When compared to the Radeon R9 290X. The number of Stream Processors and Shader Units has increased by 45 per cent (2,816 and 176, respectively). While the maximum stock boost-clock speed has been increased to 1,050MHz from 1,000MHz.
Is it appropriate to refer to the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X as “Fury”?
The features and capabilities are very appealing. We gave you a sneak peek and covered the majority of the fundamentals last week. AMD’s new Fiji GPU serves as the foundation for this card.
AMD and Nvidia were both aware that manufacturing at 28nm would take some time. AMD admits that it expected process technology to advance faster. The same is likely to be true for Nvidia. The two companies’ latest GPU designs diverged as the harsh light of day shone on them. The diameter of the GM200 is 601mm2, while the diameter of Fiji is 596mm2.
Performance
Despite the lack of HDMI 2.0, this AMD Radeon R9 Fury X supports 4K gaming at 60 frames per second (fps) when connected to a 4K monitor via the DisplayPort interface. The inclusion of the older HDMI 1.4a connector, on the other hand, is a major issue for gamers who want to use larger screens or simply use a 4K HDTV with their new graphics card because 4K TVs are larger and less expensive than monitors. At that resolution, games (and video) will only display at 30fps, and even desktop productivity, such as dragging a mouse, will appear choppy due to the insufficient bandwidth required for 4K at 60Hz when using HDMI 1.4a. Almost all modern HDTVs have an HDMI port, but only a few have a DisplayPort.
DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 converters were supposed to be available, but I couldn’t find any. Because of the voltage differences between DisplayPort and HDMI, active rather than passive adapters will be required, which will raise the initial cost. When compared to Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 980 Ti, AMD’s Radeon R9 Fury X suffers from a price disadvantage.
