AMD R9 Fury X vs. 2022 | Tales From The Scalper Pandemic

Benchmarking the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card against 13 popular games in 2022 on an average gaming PC.
While the naming might have been a bit much, the R9 Fury X was an impressive card to lead AMD’s lineup in 2015 against the likes of the GTX 980 Ti. Although it is lacking a little in memory capacity, it has plenty to recommend it otherwise. Can Fury X owners afford to hold on a little while longer until actually good £200 graphics cards hit the new market? Should gamers on a budget consider one of these instead of the myriad other options around this price?
