After weeks of speculation and the odd leak here or there, the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X was finally revealed, benchmarked and judged. We'll let you read our review for insight into our thinking, but today we care more about what you think.

Going by our HEXUS community comments for this card, some liked it, some were 'meh' and others thought that AMD had missed the boat by a considerable margin. Here's a cross-section of comments:

I agree it's underwhelming but I sorta knew it was heading for that last week so no great surprise - Jimbo75

I expected more but it's still a beast GPU - petrucius

looking at the only performance which matters to me - 4k , furyx is the one to have , as it can only get better with drivers - HalloweenJack

Neither card is on my radar. I'm a gamer, but I'm not spending what's essentially a house payment for the privilege - GuidoLS

So now that the dust has settled, you have had ample time to digest the benchmarks and reviews and therefore form a considered opinion, did the Radeon R9 Fury X meet your expectations?

We'd love to hear the thoughts of all of our community members, so do have your say in the comments facility below.

Nope.
I'm glad to see they've addressed major concerns about power consumption and noise… that's a huge step forward. But then unfortunately the ram issues just gave ammunition to Nvidia fans (I'm still on Nvidia) regardless of where it's better suited. I think that now AMD are on top of the power/noise stigma that they may well bring something on par or even beyond Nvidia in the next round.

After seeing the comparisons with the 980ti, I may just end up getting that instead due to familiarity alone. I'm still on a 690 and not really had problems running anything and look forward to a major upgrade… or maybe wait until something is out there that spanks 4k easily.
Well, I'm with Jimbo75 on this. Feeling pretty underwhelmed, and that's putting it diplomatically. I had really expected more from this new range. Not simply something that is more or less on par with the GTX 980 Ti, which can even be had for a lower price. Never mind that it draws less power and is aircooled. I really had my hopes up that the Fury range would put AMD back in the game. It sort of has, but not really.
It's good but it's not quite Carling. :)
Yes, it did meet my expectations - disappointingly so.
