With a colour scheme more in keeping with Sapphires R9 390X, the strong but minimal branding is a break from the R9 290X Vapor-X Tri-X which was really blue! Interestingly, due to the shortened PCB design of the Fury, the 2×8 pin power connectors are in the middle of the card, changing the look of where the power connectors and their placement.
We use an open chassis for test, so it did not impact our set up and the cable layout, though we thought it was really cool.
Three Display Ports and one HDMI 1.4a.
The card has a sturdy feel due to its sizeable heatsink and triple fan layout. Sapphires usual back plate is included and a subtle colour scheme continues.
Copper heatpipes sticking out of the back of the sizeable heatsink, all good news for silence or overclocking performance.
The heatsink for this card is the most interesting thing we have seen in a long time, Nvidia can’t match this for pure class.
Side by side the Sapphire Fury is the longest card here, but nearly half it’s length is heatsink, only a good thing we think. From right to left, the XFX Radeon R9 390X 8GB DD Black Edition, Zotac Nvidia GTX 980 Ti and the XFX Radeon R9 Fury X to its left.

Finally, the Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury Tri-X OC is something the Fury X is not, and that's - available to buy right now. The GTX 980 does have the slight advantage in most results, but the Fury should be on everyone's shopping list based on the price to performance ratio.
