Basically I have been going though my huge closet full of parts the past couple months and have been sorting stuff I out so I can start listing stuff on ebay and get some space cleared out. While doing this I came across the Fury MAXX packed away that I had forgotten I still had. Ended up listing it up at $49.99 starting bid with free shipping. Seems like a fair starting price.
Part of me says no no keep this sucker, since I know it is kinda rare and interesting, but honestly it seems like it is problematic finding ATX boards I want to use still that it will work in. I have probably only put in maybe 30 hours on my Fury MAXX across maybe 10 games total. What I tested ran, and ran well in fact, except it seems like I did have to turn one gpu off for a game or two to work correctly. I forget which ones, maybe one of them was Quake 3, but it seems like there was stuttering in the frame rate. I think that is what caused me to just film and review it and pack it away initially. It was like an itch that needed to be scratched, and once I did I was ready to move on to other things. Going back and testing this card again, I feel the same way. I just don't feel mind blown by the thing. It seems good, but doesnt have that WOW factor going for it.
For me it seems like no matter how good the competition may be from ATI etc, I always end up wanting to stick with just 3DFX or Nvidia for 98 and ME machines and rarely ever use Kyro, Radeon, Rage 128 cards for more then a few days at a time for testing. So anyway, anybody here with extensive experience with this card that cares to chime in and maybe convince me to keep it? Am I missing some sort of untapped power? Or at least advice on how to best utilize it that I can pass on to a buyer if it sells on my ebay auction? Is there any games at all that are even optimized for it, or rather that it is optimized for?
