AMD Fury X Far Cry 4 game performance from AMD

[zMeul]

2 versions

they are not any 2 versions of "4K"

there is 4K (4096x2160) and there is UHD (3840x2160) - this is why "the internet" should get with the programme and stop mislabeling stuff

Horace Mann:

No- we got 4 good things, 4 new models with HBM based on Fiji

 

Fury

Fury X

R9 nano

Dual Fury

no we didnt fury and fury x are essentialy the same, dual fury is ...well dual fury and then we had nano

[Opcode]

...Okay, now show me 5k with Pascal and Arctic Islands.  :>

AMD demonstrated Fury X running two games at 5k one at 45 FPS and the other 60 FPS during their E3 press conference.

[kacper]

I'll let you in on a little secret that might twist your nips. AMD is just as good as Nvidia at power consumption now.

 

....

C'mon man .I returned my 970 because of coilwhine and bought used r290x for 2/3 price of 970. Just jabbing at people that try to prove how superior Maxwell is .

 

There's not much AMD/NV can do on 28nm ,yet people act like Maxwell is a generational jump in GPU . 

[Humbug]

970 and 980 were disappointing performance wise. But 980ti was a good performance jump IMO...

[zMeul]

People have argued that it will be less of an issue because swapping memory can be done faster, that's it.

there is but one tiny issue with that theory

HBM only improves bandwidth between GPU and VRAM, not between system and video card

did the PCIe changed? no! did system RAM changed? no! so, in the grand scheme of the system as a whole, HBM is rather irrelevant

a total game changer would be when we'll have HBM far system RAM and a CPU to support it

---

are those benchmarks true? probably are

but there should be benchmarks with games that truly have hi-rez assets for UDH resolutions, and up

[Humbug]

no we didnt fury and fury x are essentialy the same

Are you sure clocks will be the same on fury and fury x?

[ahhming]

Are you sure clocks will be the same on fury and fury x?

 

the fury x will be clocked 1050Mhz however there is a dual bios switch which will increase the clock.

The air-cooled fury clock have not been revealed yet .

 

[marldorthegreat]

It smashes the titan x, and only uses a handful more power? WOW

[Elapo]

One benchmark done by AMD themselves. Let's all trust the results!

[Misanthrope]

970 and 980 were disappointing performance wise. But 980ti was a good performance jump IMO...

 

The interesting thing would be that if the Fury is close to this level of performance (which seems to good to be true, cherry picked my guess is real world will fall along with the titan x or a bit below) is how long before they cut the 980ti price or if they do it at all

[marldorthegreat]

I doubt this is true, mostly because it's coming directly from AMD.

I'll believe it when I see benchmarks from a Reputable source/ benchmarks.

Same would be if it was from Nvidia.

There not going to be too wrong though. And that could be overclocked.

But isn't 4GB VRAM a bit short for 4K?

 

I will probably buy 2 of those, but would really like around 8GB VRAM on them.

Well tbh I probably won't even need those 4GB as I am looking at 1440p screens right now. However I would like to have the probability to upgrade to a 4k screen in maybe a year or so

not enough vram even though performs better than Titan X  6.5/10 IGN

[RononDex]

Yes and that's the fact that bothers me. I always thought 4GB VRAM is barely enough for 4k? Or does it depend on the game and if the game actually uses that much VRAM or not?

[blu4]

Turn off MSAA and 60FPS locked!!

[MegaDave91]

Does FC4 have a built-in benchmark? OP's comparison graphs are otherwise null.

[Linusinium]

It's just a matter of time until we know enough to pass judgement. It could take as little as five games benchmarks but I expect it to be a little more complicated than that.

Elsewhere I have seen blind fanboys knocking the Fury with empty talk and that's always a good sign, I enjoy it when fanboys cry in their pillows because the competitor they hate may have better products.

 

There are enough of unbiased professional sites that will dissect the GPU, run a full benchmark suite and publish unadulterated observations.

Do take note, if underdog delivers a great product, that's when fanboys operate at their highest clocks under full load, like furmark for haters. 

[Ashaira]

So AMD managed to pull another Titan killer out of their asses. And if its cheaper than the Titan X.....

it is. the fury x is 650$

[Bouzoo]

If this is true and not AMD telling us it's Ultra while it's not, I'll be damned. Glad they can finally push back Nvidia, they needed this. We need this competition. Bravo

[FratStar]

in the conference at e3 earlier today they called 4k 4096 by 2160

That is technically what 4K resolution actually is. The 4K that we usally talk about is UHD

[Linusinium]

That's why I still like to call out the full resolution or at least use the Y axis designation from interlaced vs. progressive days, aka 2160p.

PCIe was never saturated by any card. Not even PCIe 3.0 using a dual GPU over 8x lanes. The GPU -> VRAM (internal bandwith of the card itself) was always the bottleneck.

Yeah I've always hated talking about resolution because it gets so murky when discussing it because of situations like this. I try to specifically write down the full resolution myself do I don't confuse people.

when you go from 16x to 8x you don't see any drop? oh yes you do - even when going from PCIe gen3 to gen2
