Early look at Fury X's performance
Just so everyone is aware, it's way too early to draw any conclusions about AMD's upcoming Fury X (Fiji XT). All the answers you're looking for should be available soon, however, as it's rumored that AMD will officially announce Fury X in less than a week. In the meantime, we have to rely on leaked information and speculation, and there's an increasing amount of both as we get closer to launch.
Today, for example, the folks at Videocardz.com posted 3DMark FireStrike benchmarks of the Fury X provided by what they consider a reliable source. In addition, they're pretty confident the Fury X boasts a 1050MHz core clock, 500MHz memory clock, and 4GB of HBM-1 memory on a 4096-bit bus.
Here are the results, along with those of a GeForce GTX Titan X:
- Fury X FireStrike Extreme: 7,878
- Titan X FireStrike Extreme: 7,989
- Fury X Firestrike Ultra: 3,960
- Titan X FireStrike Ultra: 3,862
And here's a look at CrossFire performance versus two Titan X cards:
- Fury X CF FireStrike Extreme: 13,925
- Titan X SLI FireStrike Extreme: 13,964
An Ultra score wasn't provided for the Fury X in CrossFire, leaving us to analyze the above. What it shows is that the Fury X performs a hair better in 4K compared to the Titan X, which is the resolution FireStrike Ultra runs at. But at 1440p (FireStrike Extreme), the slight edge belongs to the Titan X.
It's not known if the Fury X was water cooled, and you also have to consider that updated drivers at launch will make a difference as well. All that said, this is a pretty good showing for Fury X.
