About the AMD Radeon R9 FURY GPU

The AMD Radeon R9 FURY is an end-of-life desktop graphics card that released in Q3 2015 with a MSRP of $549. It is built on the GCN 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Fiji) and is manufactured on a 28 nm process.

Memory

The R9 FURY has 4 GB of HBM memory, with a 500 MHz memory clock and a 4,096 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 512 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The R9 FURY includes 3,584 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,000 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 224 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The R9 FURY occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 1.4a, DisplayPort 1.2 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 275 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The R9 FURY has the 128th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 16.77% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 17,543 score and $549 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 31.95. This is the 78th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q3 2017 with a MSRP of $499. It is built on the GCN 5.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Vega 10) and is manufactured on a 14 nm process.

Memory

The RX Vega 64 has 8 GB of HBM2 memory, with a 945 MHz memory clock and a 2,048 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 483.8 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX Vega 64 includes 4,096 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,247 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 1,546 MHz. Complementing the processing units are 256 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX Vega 64 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 600 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 295 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX Vega 64 has the 72nd best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 29.47% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 30,823.5 score and $499 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 61.77. This is the 52nd best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
