[SOLVED] Fury X still best gpu of its length?

[mihen]

I have a Fury X and it perfectly fits into an mitx case, but just barely. It's notably shorter than other gpus of its performance level. Just under a GTX 1070. I was wondering if there are any gpus that have superior performance at 7.5"?

RTX 2060 comes in a ITX form factor and that would be faster than the Fury X.

There are a few that would be better if you can find them. Here is one - https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N2070IX-8GC#kf

Do you have a depth or airflow limitation?

I forgot, a main factor is a custom waterblock. The case is an inwin A1 so it has a rad up front, but the space limitation makes a custom loop ideal.

Something like this RTX 2060 comes in ITX. This is a good improvement.

Could even go with an ITX GTX 1660 super for less money, but this isnt much of an improvement.

Both of these cards are under 7.5in length.

I compared the cards. The 2060 would only be a 10ish% improvement over the Fury X, and that difference may be due to a newer platform for benchmarking than an actual performance difference. The 2070 is about a 30% improvement, and it's possible to get a custom block for that 2070 on eBay. But... I already had the Fury X for a couple years and that's not worth spending near $1000 on a 2070 with a custom block. The 1660 Super would be a downgrade.

Thanks for digging into it for me.

I have a feeling the 2060 would be more of an improvemtn then that, but i havent researched it as much as you

Fury X vs 2060 FE

Fury X vs 1660 Ti (Super would be almost identical)
https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2396?vs=2429

Both tend to be faster than the Fury X by 10% or more. Newer games are even more noticeable than older games as it seems that the Fury X is running out of VRAM in Wolfenstein.

Benchmarks are more of a reference with comparable products. Since nVidia puts in the effort to have their gpus work with a wide variety of games, most benchmarks will favor nVidia architecture. There is no way to do an Apples to Apples comparison of dissimilar architectures as they will perform in certain tasks differently.
With any game if you are using AMD. It's best to have an fps counter on, then test the impact of each setting as the developer probably did not optimize the settings for AMD. For instance running at 4k with 16x AA. Completely unnecessary and will impact AMD more.

PowerColor has launched the RX 5700 in the ITX form factor.

The RX 5700 is for sure faster than the Fury X.

Heck, if cooling is good enough, you could possibly flash it into an rx5700xt.

A 5700 or 5700xt would be a massive upgrade from a fury x.
