Does the Fury X still make sense in 2026?

Here we have quite the funkalicous card, the Fury X, the big ultra-enthusiast halo card of GCN 3, standing head shoulders above anything else AMD had at the time…excluding the other Fury cards of course. The Fury X was balls to the walls, no hold bar, pushed to the limits, and that’s reflected in the stock (and only) cooling design, a stock, single-gpu coming from factory with liquid cooling, sanctioned and blessed by AMD themselves, which is the most striking thing about the Fury X, and the main thing everyone knows this card for. However, was AMD's gamble on pushing the Fiji Flagship so far as to need liquid cooling worth it, especially when in regards to its sibling cards?
