AMD Radeon R9 Fury X Video Card Review

Thief

Thief is a series of stealth video games in which the player takes the role of Garrett, a master thief in a fantasy/steampunk world resembling a cross between the Late Middle Ages and the Victorian era, with more advanced technologies interspersed. Thief is the fourth title in the Thief series, developed by Eidos Montreal and published by Square Enix on February 25, 2014.

We ran Thief with the image quality settings set at normal with VSYNC disabled.

Thief appears to be running on the six physical cores of the Intel Core i7-4960X processor and averages around 17-24% CPU usage from what we were able to tell from the CPU utilization meter that is built into the Windows 8.1 task manager.

Benchmark Results: On Thief we found the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X video card averaging 55.95 FPS and the GeForce GTX 980 Ti coming in with an average of 63.93 FPS. The PowerColor Radeon R9 390X scored 46.28 FPS, which was a nice bump up from the 42.01 FPS seen on the AMD Radeon R9 290X reference card.

Benchmark Results: The Radeon R9 Fury X was simply out classed during pretty much the first 80% of this benchmark test, but came back at the end to run with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
