When I picked up the XFX Fury X from best buy a little over a month ago, the tech geek in me was drawn to it over NVidia alternatives because of the HBM memory on board. The aforementioned NVidia cards do perform slightly better in games for the same price, but the lack of HBM to play with made them less appealing to me.
Just to clarify, the Fury X is an amazingly powerful card. As with most enthusiast level video cards, and if you are gaming at any resolution up 4K the card will provide more that enough frame pushing goodness. You'll pay for this level of performance though, as this version was available at Best Buy for $679 (Thank god for rewardzone points). Rest assured that a card like this will continue to perform well in games for several years to come.
Now onto the good stuff. What's really interesting about this card, is the fact that it is several inches smaller that previous top tier video cards. This allows for some interesting build options. I have included an image of the Fury X and the 7970 it replaced. There is a large radiator from the liquid cooling solution you have to deal with, but the card will potentially fit in enclosures that larger competitor cards may not. Do make sure you have enough room for the radiator however. In the second picture is a image of my 140mm exhaust fan, the R9 Fury X radiator and the Noctua D12 CPU cooler. Not much room to spare in there. The radiator is curiously absent from Best Buy's image, so just make sure you have room for it before purchasing..
The card runs amazingly silent, and the GPU temp stays rock solid. That stable temp is due largely to the liquid coolers ability to handle up to 500W of dispersion. That should give amazing overclocking headroom, but sadly, the voltages for the GPU are locked, allowing for only minor overclocks.
If your looking for a fun GPU to put into a new build that also packs incredible performance, look no further. The Fury X will not disappoint provided you are not looking for a GPU with massive overclocking potential.

**There is an external cooler that is not shown**
This Card seriously performs and game makers haven't even been optimizing for it yet!
This tackles everything you have in your library currently with no issues
This card will tackle the best the next generation of engines has to offer!
This card will keep you worry free for a long while when it comes to performance.

Its a beast.
Small then some cards but will need ample space for its radiator
After windows 10 drivers, it is showing 5%-10% better benchmarks results then its NVIDIA competition.
its worth EVERY penny or in this case DOLLAR

Pros: quiet, cool, fast, look nice.
Cons: Radiator too bulky, tough to hide those loops, not very mid-size-tower friendly.
I purchased 2 of these and notice that the CPU will bottlenecked on benchmarking. Learned my lesson and purchased the 1000w PSU and all is good.
Very satisfy with these 2 beats, so far.

Great card. Runs well at 1440p and 4k. A little lacking at 1080p, but that's not why you get this card.
