IS R9 FURY X STILL WORTH IT?
Also it's performance in crossfire

Worth it for what? Like the 290 and 390, it uses a lot of power. The 4GB frame buffer will also cause issues here and there. If you can get it cheap enough it might be "worth it", but it's not a great high end gaming card anymore.

In addition to the comment above,

X-Fire will give you enough headache to make you give up of the idea. Not even considering the required PSU to power those up...
So that's a big no for me.

One good card is better than two hot, weak, and power hungry cards.

It's a couple of years old. It was impressive for it's time, but that time has passed. The Fury X would be worth it if you had a really old, crappy video card and someone gave this to you for $50. UPGRADE! Compared to modern Nvidia Pascal or AMD Vega cards, it's obsolete.

No. It was never worth it.

No. It was never worth it.

Agreed.
If you want High End graphics go with a GTX 1080 or 1080Ti

The R9 Fury is worth it if you can find it for under $300.
The R9 Fury X not really unless it's under $200 in which case the pump is likely dead.

Well ...I bought 2 r9 fury x with bad pumps fr $80.... I still think that it was a bargain

 

[SoNic67]

If you fix the pumps and you have an 1000W PSU (real Watts, not advertised)... then yes, it's OK.

im rocking a r9 fury nitro. i buy it last year for 330euro brand new and im playing at 2560x1080 and some times at 4k some games. for me is still a wery good card. i dont se vram is the problem. i play doom at nightmare video settings and it use under 4gb vram. just wildlands can be a problem if you set up all the i candy to the max.

no other options? performance wise Fury X still considered as very fast even by today standard. even the 4GB VRAM probably not much of an issue if you willing to drop down some setting that use a lot of VRAM (like very high resolution texture). but the major problem that i see with Fury X is inconsistent performance. in some titles it can be as fast as 980ti but some other it is barely faster than RX580/GTX1060. this problem becoming more persistent at low resolution such as 1080p. Fury X most often can flex it's muscle more on much higher resolution such as 4k but at such extreme resolution that 4GB of VRAM starts becoming a problem. it is because if this kind of issue i have hard time to recommend Fury X. most often when people said they will only play at 1080p i would suggest them to only get much cheaper RX480 (back then mining still did not inflate radeon price).

not at all games at 4k have a vram is a problem. i test battlefield 1 at 2560x1080 and a 4k and vram usage is like 100mb higher at 4k. but like you said inconsistent performance is the main problem. and drivers..... drivers are bad. in wildlands some time i can play at high 60fps some times not even at low 60fps. and the problem which gpu run at 100% on desktop because of relive overlay. and i dont even have installed relive.
