Sapphire Tri-X Radeon R9 Fury 4GB

As we spent a lot of time retesting all our cards with the latest AMD and NVIDIA drivers we felt it was worthwhile adding in results from the Fury 4GB with it overclocked to breaking point. How far did we manage to get it clocked?

It is worth highlighting that the Sapphire Tri-X Radeon R9 Fury 4GB ships with a dual bios switch.

They are configured as:
329P05HU.Q4C (UEFI, 75C, ASIC power limited to 300W)
329P05HU.Q4D (UEFI, 80C, ASIC power relax to 350W)

We used the Q4D bios for all testing today, although we did measure power consumption from both BIOS settings later in the review.


Right now overclocking the memory proves difficult – the option is locked by default and the slider has disappeared completely with Catalyst 15.7. For now we managed to overclock the core by 60mhz to 1,100mhz. Increasing the power limit past 36% didn’t help improve the GPU clocks further. As a side note, between 1,105mhz and to 1,140mhz the card didn't hard lock although I noticed some red speckles appearing from time to time on the screen when gaming which could indicate long term issues if run at that speed.

All our graphs today will show performance from the Fury 4GB at ‘out of the box’ speeds, along with a yellow arrow pointing upwards to indicate additional results at 1,100mhz.
