Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury Tri-X 4GB Overclocking Results

Given the Sapphire R9 Fury Tri-X is based on the same Fiji silicon as the R9 Fury X overclocking is, quite logically, very similar. Making use of AMD's Catalyst Control Centre application allowed us to add an additional 95MHz to the core clock with a final stable frequency of 1,135MHz. As with the R9 Fury X it isn't currently possible to overclock the memory so that remained at the reference speed of 500MHz actual, 1,000MHz effective.

The final overclock of 95MHz represents a 9 per cent increase over Sapphire's factory speeds, or a 13.5 per cent boost over the AMD reference speed. While the extra frequency does deliver a corresponding amount of extra performance, the overclocking result is underwhelming. Nvidia's GM200-based graphics cards respond much better to overclocking and have more headroom to play with.
