QuadFire AMD Radeon R9 Fury X Setup Benchmarked - 15K 3DMark Ultra Graphics Score

Someone managed to cram four, aye four, AMD Radeon R9 Fury X liquid cooled cards into a machine and benchmark them. As reported by LegitReviews that someone happens to be Matt Cadet an AMD technical support engineer from the UK.

The automobile is Intel based, which is slightly ironic considering the company Matt's working for is the arch-rival of Intel. Merely in his defense an overclocked i7 5960X is really a necessity for any sort of attempt at breaking records, which apparently this is.

The specifications for the test system are :-
CPU : Intel i7 5960X.
Motherboard : Asus RAMPAGE Five EXTREME
RAM : 16GB (4x4GB) G.Skill DDR4
Storage : 256 GB Samsung SSD 850 PRO 256GB
OS : Windows 8.1
And most importantly four R9 Fury X graphics cards.

Fury X Quadfire setup
With the CPU overclocked to iv,898Mhz and the 4 FUry X cards running at stock clocks the system scores 13,605 points under 3DMark'due south FireStrike Ultra v1.1 (3840x2160) test overall and achieve a graphics score of 15,307. With the CPU overclocked to a more reasonable 4.5Ghz clock speed the organisation achieves an overall score of 13,286 points.
These results were obtained with the AMD Goad xv.xv Beta drivers

3DMark Fury X Quadfire
This outcome would be ranked 35th overall in the 3DMark FireStrike Ultra hall of fame ladder had the drivers been recognized by 3DMark. A 13,605 score is notably alee of multiple overclocked 4-Fashion SLI TItan X + 5960X setups as well.

Temperatures for the cards ranged from 48c to 56c using the default fan curve. With the fan spinning at a higher RPM the temperatures are brought down to the 35c-52c range. Matt also posted scores for a single card besides every bit dual and triple-fire.

AMD Radeon R9 Fury X x1 = 4337
AMD Radeon R9 Fury X x2 = 7557 (74.2% scaling)
AMD Radeon R9 Fury X x3 = 10801 (42.3% scaling)
AMD Radeon R9 Fury 10 x4 = 13286 (23.0% scaling)

Naturally a organization like this is only for bragging rights as the scaling with multi-GPU setups hits diminishing returns really hard afterward the second graphics card. And despite the Fury X'south and Maxwell's power efficiency, put four high-end GPUs in a instance and you'll rapidly realize how hot your room can get. Plus the power supply requirements will be well over 1000W peculiarly if yous want to overclock the system and endeavour to achieve any kind of record.

Perhaps a more appealing solution for those extreme enthusiasts would be to use two dual-GPU graphics cards like AMD'due south upcoming dual-fiji lath. However for the grand majority of gamers a single Fury X at $650 would be more than capable of delivering a great gaming feel.
