SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 Fury 4GB HBM PCI Express 3.0 x16 TRI-X OC+ (UEFI) Video Card 100379NTOC+SR

Pros: I own this for 1 day now and I can say it runs rise of tomb raider 1080p without any problems with all graphic details up, I never go much looking into the fps but ill update on that. it is 200 less for a card that has a lot more quality than the lowest 1070 evga when it goes on sale, even some had some recalls. I'm glad I cancelled my first order and went with this one. has a backplate, 3 Fans! it's huge but it helps keep it quiet and cooled down quickly to save your investment. SUPER QUIET! I love this card compared to my 6970. i tried bringing up the temperature by playing a game up to 70 degrees and then turning the fan up at 56% and the temperature went down in a few seconds to 40 degrees, and the fans were very quiet. i think they automatically turn up by itself after a certain temperature but i am not sure as it was at 65 degrees and the fans were still at 30%. I'm still new at playing with sapphire trixx software and don't want to go messing with it too much and spend more time playing games. I do not plan to upgrade my monitor wich is 1080p for a long time and my processor is at 2500k so I do not plan to over clock the card or maybe ill undervolt it so It uses less power.. bios 1 is apparently 275w and some says they were able to get higher achievement with -75w. big difference in performance from my old 6970 and uses about the same power. I really hope that vulkan api gets popular as this will crush most cards out there. it fits in my Silverstone grandia gd09 wich is a very small case and it is 12.09 as some sites says 12.9 I was a bit nervous my case would fit this card and only that would make a make or break.

Cons: I don't have a con here but wish the sapphire web site was accurate as it was showing 12.9 and it is shorter. I really did a guess and trusted newegg.ca would not have bought it at original price over a fury x. can usually get a free game with a video card this one has none, apparently there is some contest if you keep looking at their website. doubt ill ever go there again after the whole trouble of registering the card.

Overall Review: there isn't that many games i play, and i don't expect to ever go 1440p and 4k for at least 5 years or unless the price is very cheap. but knowing it is capable is even better. project cars 1080p rise of tomb raider 1080p with no problems I'm a happy camper.
