What's actually really bad is that it's apparently really hard to overclock despite being watercooled. The testers I frequent couldn't bring it above 1115MHz (base 1050MHz) without getting artifacts. While the 980ti is base clocked at 1000MHZ and has partner cards with custom coolers that go beyond 1400MHz. I'm really interested to see how well the partner cards can manage it. That the stock models are close together means nothing if the partner cards are far apart. In these price regions partner cards are the only thing that matters. |
Partner cards are not allowed to be overclocked
"You can expect this distinctive layout from all Fury X cards, because AMD has imposed tight controls for this product. Board makers won't be free to tweak clock speeds or to supply custom cooling for the Fury X."

Makes me wonder how bad the air cooled Fury will be cut down with how strict AMD are being with the Fury X
