AMD Radeon R9 Fury X

Reasons To Buy

  • Compact for a high-end card geared toward 4K gaming output.
  • Runs quiet and cool, thanks to bundled radiator and fan.
  • Roughly matches Nvidia's GeForce GTX 980 Ti at 4K and high settings.

Reasons To Avoid

  • Overall performance slides in just behind Nvidia's competing card, especially at lower resolutions.
  • Radiator complicates installation, takes up space gained by smaller card.
  • Lack of HDMI 2.0 port makes card an iffy choice for gaming on a 4K HDTV.
