So, much like the Radeon R9 295X2, you'll have to make room in your case for a 120mm radiator. To keep things running cool and quiet, though, the card comes with a closed-loop liquid cooler. Those other cards are expected to land in the coming weeks and months, with the Radeon R9 Nano card likely at the end of the summer of 2015, and the dual-chip card promised only in 'the fall.' (Air-cooled R9 Fury cards should start showing up in late July.) But the first of the Furies, the water-cooled AMD Radeon R9 Fury X, landed on our test bench a few days ago, and we've been impressed with its compact 7.5-inch frame and quiet performance. The promised cards to come are an air-cooled Radeon R9 Fury, a surprisingly compact Radeon R9 Fury Nano, and a dual-GPU Fiji-based card to which AMD hasn't given a proper name yet. All bear the 'Fury' name, a moniker resurrected from the late-1990s heyday of the Rage Fury Maxx, a card current several years before AMD bought ATI Technologies. Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions.

And high-end these days means exactly two characters: '4K.'

It has taken the final wraps off of 'Fiji,' the company's first truly new chip design in almost two years, in the hopes of again competing with Nvidia in the high-end market. Now, alongside a new 300-Series line comprising essentially existing 200-series chips with tweaked memory, power management, and clock speeds, along with additional memory (up to 8GB), AMD is taking off the gloves with a new corker of its own. It is a killer card, delivering nearly identical performance to Nvidia's own, much pricier GeForce GTX Titan X at about two-thirds of that card's price.

(See, for example, our most recent Titan review, of the GeForce GTX Titan X.) Despite that formidable competition, AMD, through a series of price cuts, has remained close in terms of both raw graphics performance and performance-per-dollar-at least until the GTX 980 Ti landed just weeks ago. Since that date, GPU-rival Nvidia has cranked out the GeForce GTX 780 Ti, the GeForce GTX 980, and the GeForce GTX 980 Ti, along with a few $1,000-plus GeForce GTX Titan cards. Lack of HDMI 2.0 port makes card an iffy choice for gaming on a 4K HDTV.ĭespite the fact that AMD hasn't released a new single-card graphics chip since the Radeon R9 290X in October of 2013, the company has managed to remain surprisingly competitive in the video card business.Radiator complicates installation, takes up space gained by smaller card.Overall performance slides in just behind Nvidia's competing card, especially at lower resolutions.
