Prior to the fight, a lot was made of the fact that Ngannou's chosen discipline is MMA and he may struggle in a boxing ring. HBCC has no benefits to PC gamers outside of a few benchmarks and resolutions where it provides a few % more performance, but now we're seeing something very similar play out on next-gen consoles. The mix of PCIe 4.0 connectivity with a super-charged NVMe SSD and super-fast GDDR6 acting as huge chunks of ridiculously fast cache? That sounds like HBCC... or something at least close to it. We've seen AMD move away from its head-first dive into the world of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), which it moved from Fiji to Vega and used HBM2, but then from Vega to Navi we saw the company shift to GDDR6 memory. This has been a big deal for the company, along with the huge change from the GCN (GraphicsCore Next) architecture to the RDNA architecture that powers Navi (and the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles). Meanwhile, Fury's boxing skills looked a far-cry from what we are used to seeing from 'The Gypsy King'. AMD touted that its HBM and HBCC technologies would work wonders in high resolution gaming scenarios, so let's see how it holds up 5 years later.

Far Cry New Dawn nearly hits that magic 60FPS mark at 1440p on the Radeon R9 Fury X, failing to beat the RX 590 -- and keeps up better with the RX 5500 XT here but still loses to it.And he was deemed fortunate to escape with a split-decision win and his undisputed title fight with Oleksandr Usyk, 36, still intact. I knew it wasn't going to happen. I think it's a shame for boxing, though, and those judges they should be sanctioned. NVIDIA has gone from stride to stride with its graphics card launches, no matter the hype and anger at pricing of the Turing-based GeForce RTX 2080 Ti ( my review here). They flew off shelves because gamers were, and will always be, thirsty for the best of the best. AMD hasn't had a best of the best graphics card for a very long time -- and at the time, the Radeon R9 Fury X was meant to be just that -- the best of the best. But, the Cameroonian held his own and looked more than competent against Fury, so much so that many people thought he deserved the decision.

Starting with Shadow of War at 1080p we see the higher memory bandwidth of the HBM2-based Radeon RX Vega 56 and Vega 64 as well as the Radeon VII pulling way far and out from the Fury X. The faster GDDR6 memory on the Navi-based Radeon RX 5000 series cards see it soar ahead of the HBM(1) on the Fury X. In this testing, I wanted to cover graphics cards from years ago right through to the new Turing-based GeForce RTX 2000 series cards and the flagship GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and Radeon RX 5700 XT on the Navi architecture. I've included older-gen cards with the Maxwell-based GeForce GTX 900 series led by the GTX 980 Ti, as well as the Pascal architecture with GeForce GTX 1000 series cards and its flagship GTX 1080 Ti. You'd be surprised: Fury X runs pretty damn cool at just 58C. It's the coolest card on my charts next to the just-reviewed ASUS TUF Gaming X3 OC Radeon RX 5700 graphics card with its revised thermal solution. You can read the full review on that here.The Radeon R9 FURY X was a high-end graphics card by AMD, launched on June 24th, 2015. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Fiji graphics processor, in its Fiji XT C8 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on Radeon R9 FURY X. The Fiji graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 596 mm² and 8,900 million transistors. It features 4096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. AMD has paired 4 GB HBM memory with the Radeon R9 FURY X, which are connected using a 4096-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1050 MHz, memory is running at 500 MHz (1000 Mbps effective). Metro Exodus sees similar drops, with the Fury X falling under the Radeon RX 590, with 33FPS average -- losing by 1FPS to the RX 590. The Radeon RX 5500 XT actually loses to the Fury X here -- but by a single frame per second.

HBM might have been a technological marvel at the time, and HBCC was pretty much marketing fluff -- but from a technological perspective I still admire what AMD was able to achieve with the Radeon R9 Fury X. The first graphics card with HBM memory, and it was an impressive feat.Far Cry New Dawn is still hardcore on the R9 Fury X, which manages just 26FPS average at 4K -- identical to the RX 570, and 3FPS behind the RX 580. Shadow of the Tomb Raider is just 1FPS off of 30FPS, this time matching the RX 5500 XT for once. Benchmarks - Synthetic (Radeon Only) GPU Test Rig Specs But even that fan-dangled HBM technology isn't enough when even at 1080p the Fury X gets smashed by mid-range cards like the Radeon RX 590 and GeForce GTX 1070. Hell, the new Radeon RX 5500 XT is superior in virtually every single test. That goes to show how far AMD has come architecturally from Fiji to Navi.
X-rated Francis Ngannou reveals what he said to Tyson Fury in X-rated
AMD will have a mystery release later this year for RDNA2 ( more on that here) and its new, and what should eventuate in the Radeon RX 6000 series cards. My sources have told me there will be no media event for this release, the first time in over a decade (or more) that no media event will be held for a new family of graphics cards being released.Ngannou, 37, meanwhile became a sensation overnight having stunned the world's best heavyweight boxer. As for which combat sport Ngannou will continue with having impressed in the boxing ring, but also being a former UFC heavyweight champion, he has said he will carry on both. NVIDIA is also rumored to unveil something called NVCache, which sounds much like HBCC, with its next-gen Ampere GPU-based GeForce RTX 3080 Ti -- and other RTX 3000 series cards, later this year when it unveils the new family of graphics cards in September 2020. He told his YouTube channel: "When we touched gloves, he was like, 'Let me take you to school". I'm like "you motherf*****, you're not taking me to school!' Now, the Cameroonian has opened up on what he said to Fury and how a pre-fight exchanged sparked the boasting.
