Departing from standard graphics board designs, the Radeon R9 Fury X Graphics Card from Gigabyte features 4GB of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) coupled to an interposer directly on top of the GPU for a wide memory interface width of 4096 bits and a bandwidth of 512 GB/s. The GPU itself features 4096 stream processors clocked at 1050 MHz. This hardware configuration lends itself towards gaming in 4K resolutions at high frame rates.
The output panel of the card features three DisplayPort terminals and an HDMI terminal. All outputs on the card can support 4K (4096 x 2160) resolution displays. Even if the card is attached to a lower resolution display, Fury X can take advantage of technologies like VSR to leverage extra resolution for a higher quality image. When not rendering game graphics, Fury X can accelerate computationally intensive parallel processes with its 4096 stream processors using OpenCL or other APIs.
In another departure from standard reference graphics board designs, Fury X is completely liquid cooled with a closed-loop system. Heat from the GPU is absorbed by the water block and circulated via the pre-installed water tubing up to a separate 120mm radiator unit for dissipation away from the board itself. This design keeps the card quiet even under intense gaming or compute sequences. Additionally, because no large fan unit is present on the board itself, the card is smaller than similar full-length options and can be used in smaller or more congested tower cases since the radiator expels heat outside the case.
