Overclocking
The watercooled Fury X card showed mediocre signs of overclocking, running from the standard peak 1,050MHz to 1,140MHz. Given the nature of HBM memory for the first generation, there was no overclocking available on that front.
Sapphire's Fury Tri-X OC does just as well, helped by that massive cooler. The core runs at up to Fury X-matching 1,140MHz.
The close proximity of results enables the overclocked OC card to leapfrog a bunch of others.
