Worth it to Buy 980TI or should I wait for AMD better drivers for Fury?

[Dabasepc]

Is it worth it to buy the 980ti, or should i wait for DirectX12 benchmarks of the Fury X wth new drivers?

 

i was plaining to buy this card: (EVGA 980 Ti Classified) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487146

[Levent]

I would go for 980ti.

[Zayzo]

From what i've heard very few games will support dx12 early on. I'd prefer the 980 ti.

[ProdigyzMined]

I'd get the Fury X, Personally. 980Ti is a ballin card too though

 

(prepared for the hate, BRACE!)

980 Ti all the way

You're like the 10th person i've seen here that also lives in south Florida. lol

Tampa is south Florida now?

 

Well, on second thought I guess it is if you ask the guys over at USF... idiots

[Sakkura]

Both are solid options really. The 980 Ti does have an edge here and now though.

I'd say broward, dade, and palm beach would be south florida... i mean you may be all the way west and more of in the middle but its close enough.  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Fair enough

980 Ti. The Fury is not gonna see some super magical increase because of drivers. There will be optimizations, but its not gonna pull ahead of the Ti card. Software can only do so much. Its all about the hardware and the Fiji GPU isn't quite as strong (but close at 4K) as GM200, nor will it ever be.

[Lethal Seraph]

1080p 1440p go for 980ti

4k+ go for fury x.

[hugh321]

I think that the 980 ti would be better supported in the future long term and nVidia gameworks also free copy of MGSV if that interest you

[AllstaRawR]

1080p 1440p go for 980ti

4k+ go for fury x.

 

This is actually the most accurate example I've seen yet. Fury should destroy the Ti at 4K. Thankfully I'm just intending on playing 1440p.

The Fury X matches the 980 Ti at 4K, or is even a bit ahead. But the performance of either card is rather marginal at 4K.

Yea, once you hit 4k, you get differences of like 2-3 FPS at an FPS where I would rather not play a game.

[Humbug]

980ti is a good buy

Yes Fury X will get better but we can only speculate on how much. The fact is that at any resolution lower than 4K the 980ti seems to have the edge.

[Badger906]

why is everyone saying 980ti is worse than the fury x at 4k!?

in every benchmark bar games made in conjunction with amd as a partner the 980ti beats the fury x at 4k.. you'd kind of expect amd cards to be better there.

Not true. Here's an example:

 

 

the Radeon R9 Fury X delivers performance surreally similar to Nvidia’s 980 Ti. Sure, the GM200-based board tends to finish ahead at 2560x1440, while the Fury’s massive memory bandwidth gives it the advantage at 3840x2160. In either case, though, you’d have a tough time telling the two cards apart.

[Badger906]

Not true. Here's an example:

and look at linus's benchmarks, or pc gamer or many others. the fury only beat the 980ti in like 3 out of 8 games..

[Aphala]

4K - Fury X

1600p < - 980ti (Until the drivers improve on the F-X anything under 4K is not so good)

[Praesi]

Atm 4K is pointless in my Eyes.

 

1440p with max Graphics and very good Frames is the way to go.

 

980Ti it is,

Well you're the one who claimed the Fury X did not beat or even match the 980 Ti at 4K in any benchmarks (except for Gaming Evolved titles) - which it actually does. The results vary between reviews because of different selections of games, settings, benchmarking procedures, overall hardware configuration, and so on.

 

Tom's Hardware goes into more detail in benchmarking than Linus does, or PC Gamer for that matter. Not that their results are invalid, but the more in-depth sites are, if anything, more reliable.

1080p - 980 Ti wins
1440p - pretty much even
4k - Fury X takes it home to mama.

I'd personally go with the Fury. Really like the AiO cooler it comes with thanks to which it runs 20-30*C cooler on average and is quieter as well.

Custom 980Ti´s smash the FuryX in 1440p.
