Still in love with my R9 Fury.
430H/s for 130W
I was thinking to change them... But I can't find better now

Is this backed by watt meter?
Sounds a bit too good for me, more like 1070 values.
Yep Smiley A lot of person was scpetical about R9 Fury.
But the GPU is really great and backed with a fu.cking fast mem ! And the best thing is that I bought them on discount for 240€ each.

The key, is the undervolting (-96 mV with AfterBurner) and reducing the max tdp (mine are -48% on Zcash for 410-430 H/s depending of the card, and something like 26 MH/s on ETH with those setting).
Back in the days, I made a video for a guy who don't want to believe in my results : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y86VLJirwN8
I was with Claymore 7 so the perf is less than the 400+ H/s from now. I'll try to record a new one.
But you can see the kill-o-watt meter + the second rig offline (no power draw) + the 5 Fury rig running

The Fury are really good, the only bad thing it's that they are huge and require 2x8pin PCI-E so you have to have a good PSU with a lot of cables.
That is why I was thinking about a card reseller and go for a new one ... but It seems that for now, it's the best.

I'll wait VEGA and the GTX 1170 to see
