Visiontek Radeon R9 Fury X 4GB Review

On May 22, 2014, a Redux version of Metro Last Light was announced. It was released on August 26, 2014 in North America and August 29, 2014 in Europe for the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Redux adds all the DLC and graphical improvements. A compilation package, titled Metro Redux, was released at the same time which includes Last Light and 2033. (Wikipedia). We test with following settings: Quality- High, SSAA-off, Texture Filtering-16x, Motion Blur-Normal, Tessellation-Normal, Advanced Physx-off.

At Ultra HD 4K resolutions, the Fury X scores well, averaging 51 frames per second. When manually overclocked, the frame rates increase to 54 frames per second putting it ahead of the reference clocked Titan X. The Gigabyte GTX980 Ti G1 Gaming manages to dominate the average frame rate results, although the minimum frame rates are in the same zone.

We have pointed out the R9 Fury X card's minimum frame rate numbers and how they closely tie in with minimum FreeSync operating ranges of common 1440P monitors (using our image quality settings). Metro Last Light Redux extends that point to 4K – the R9 Fury X manages to post a minimum frame rate level of just over 40 FPS when overclocked, allowing it to run a typical 4K FreeSync monitor within the adaptive-syncing technology's operating range. No other single-GPU AMD card can manage something similar at these settings and resolution.
