The R9 Fury then is the slightly cut-down Proversion of the Fiji XT in the Fury X. The Fiji Pro has 512 fewer Radeon cores than its bigger brother, and a 50MHz drop in base clock, but is happily sporting the same 4GB of HBM for a super-speed frame buffer. It’s also around $200 cheaper than the Fury X.
Which leaves us scratching our heads. This Sapphire, Tri-X-cooled version of the Fury actually clocks just 10MHz behind the Fury X and yields almost identical
gaming frame rates as the more expensive, water-cooled reference card.
Yes, the air-cooled card inevitably runs hotter – by around 15 degrees - but when you’re dropping only a few fps on average, but saving $200, it becomes a bit of a no-brainer.
It’s still over $600 for effectively a third-tier graphics card, but it will deliver excellent gaming performance and, if you’re not going 4K yet, will make your 1440p screen sing. The Fury also goes toe-to-toe with the 980, often taking a performance lead.
That hasl ed to some price drops on the older card though, so you can find great deals on the Nvidia side now. But when the price is close, we’d recommend staying with the more-advanced card that’s rocking HBM if you’re chasing a purchase.

Verdict
Plus - Almost as quick as the Fury X; decent cooling.
Minus - Expensive; only just faster than 980.
