Fury/x Voltage Unlock Incoming

That looks fun! I did the same mods with an Asus DC II 680, minus the LN2. Custom Asus cards make these mods easy.

then the forums trolls and the biased media will complain about power consumption. Lose, Lose if I'd ever seen one myself.

It's an LN2 benchmark. It isn't an every day scenario. I'm sure if the power consumption was decent you'd post it to your sig

Not like people are gonna go "you see that perf when you cool it on LN2 and throw some custom hot wiring? Man, I'm buy me FOUR of them!!!!"

I think it shows potential.

LN2 and soldering your card doesn't show potential for ANY regular gaming usage. None whatsoever. This is just as useful as all the Kingpin 2GHz core Geforce overclocking. This is just for fun and nothing more.

 

[Nhirlathothep]

so you can finally use your warranty

Hoooooly crap are those amazing results. I mean yeah, LN2, but still... Dayum. I forgot how to English there...

Makes me wonder though... If consumers get software control over HBM clocks (maybe also voltages for the memory? I dunno) and push it to something like 750MHz... What are we gonna get along with a 1150MHz core? Kinda makes me drool to be honest.

mother of god...

Less than 8200 max oc on air. The entire top 100 is dominated by nvidia. This AMD card wont even show up on the top 100 unless run on LN2, and even then it is still a whopping 30% slower than several submissions using air cooling? WTF. Why even bother voiding the warranty to overclock this dog?

I'm not going to spoon feed it to you. If you can't see it, that's fine.

Spoon feed what? Oh, you mean expanding on your simple, one line "it shows potential" post, so that we can discuss it? Yeah, why do that on a discussion forum. Hey, you're the one that said it shows potential, why not expand on what that's supposed to mean? LN2 results have never been indicative of anything useful, ever. That's why my opinion is that no, it really doesn't show potential.

I think he means it shows the long term future potential of hbm.
I'm with you in that it's not a relevant data point. It's like using ln2 oc results on Sandy bridge then from that saying the next gen has potential or whatever.

Not useful so yes I agree that these ln2 oc results will have no bearing on future hbm performance for the foreseeable future.
But whatever.

We'll see.

I think being able to get a 100% O/C from first gen HBM tech like this is pretty amazing. I was concerned that the reason for no O/C'ing out of box was because it couldn't. Or the design was too fragile with the TSV, or something. Obviously, it's not. The hardware is capable of taking a large amount of voltage and surviving it. With the standard liquid cooling the Fury X should be able to handle relatively large amounts of voltage and return a good performance increase. I think we could see ~1300MHz and 700MHz mem on stock cooling, for the not faint of heart. Assuming the software allows enough voltage.

Yes, 2.1 / 8.4 for the Kingpin was very neat and all, but it doesn't tell us much.

Phenom 2 chips were at ~6.5 on LN2, and that didn't tell us much, either.

can anyone explain why the abiguous noun 'soldering' is being used as a verb to describe a 'leet mod' upgrade? a more proper term needs to be used like 'voltage mod'. you don't just 'solder' it and suddenly get more performance.
an equivalent for 'overclocking' would be 'BIOSing'. I BIOSed my FX to 4.3ghz

Here is the explanation: we all know what is being referred to, so who cares?

You're welcome.

You can't compared the total score because 5960X physics score is higher than 4790K. It adds the total score. You should compare the graphics score.

By comparing graphics score. THe Fury LN2 OC placed 10th on the 3Dmark HOF by score

 

[thesmokingman]

I don't know much about gpu overclocking but that is just 200mV above the saphire fury oc.

200mv is not a ton of voltage but it is a decent amount. The only question is how Fury will take to it with proper cooling, ie. non-stock water and better. If the past is any indication of Fury's future, I wouldn't be surprised it handled the voltage well.

fill me in?

There's a link to someone soldering potentiometers onto their Fury to allow volt modding. That's what he's referring to.

He knows exactly what this is referring to, he's just being a grammar nazi about using the word "soldering" to describe this volt mod, even though we all know what is being referred to. He's even being a terrible grammar nazi, because "soldering" is, in fact, a verb, not the noun he thinks it is. "Solder", on the other hand, can be a verb or a noun.

I suspected that's what it was about, but I asked because I wasn't sure.

At any rate it's stupid and anyone that term so indiscriminately is stupid, too. I do not BIOS my CPU.

BOOOOOM! Some one call the burns clinic.
