Radeon Fury X Outperforms GeForce GTX Titan X @ $650

[Humbug]

Future looks good. I'm excited for DX10 benchmarks

Why?

[reapersivan]

Its not leaps ahead of the Titan X but the price makes it very attractive but the 980Ti is still an excellent choice if you must go with team green.

Can't wait to see real world in-game benchmarks. I might end up selling my 970 and upgrade along with a new monitor.

I find it to be amazing or surprising when an Nvidia user switches over. My friend says Nvidia is better just cuz, and AMD is for low budgets or cheap people. My first card is an AMD one and I am sure proud and satisfied with it

Probably meant DX12.

Why would it be surprising for someone to switch to something they find better?  I stick with nvidia because their drivers are (mostly) okay, and G-sync and SLI appeals more to me because I a lot in borderless windowed.

980ti is beast no doubt. They may slightly adjust pricing if needed.

AMD probably finalized the GPU and then before launch finalized the core clock speeds such that they can show a advantage over the 980ti in the first round of reputable reviews.

Also it's 650 for the stock cooler, so I wonder how much the other manufacturers will charge for theirs.  I know Sapphire can charge a bit.

I find it surprising, especially when Nvidia is leading the GPU industry. It's like everyone getting Starbucks but one person getting a coffee ata place Similar to it

650 for the stock water cooler. The air cooler is only 550

[texhornsaj]

AMD Radeon R9 Poseidon, if only it ran real cool. That would be a great name or Zeus

I like the name Zeus as well. So we'll in fact I named my German Shepherd that lol.

Oh yea, I forgot this.  I wonder if they'll let Sapphire and others make their own water coolers.

[Hunter7263]

Im wondering if they let them do anything at all tbh. There are rumors that this card is going to be treated like the TitanX where they arent allowed to do anything to it.

I'm not a fanboy. I have been using products from both companies. I just choose one that fits my needs and my budget at the time of purchase.

[IAMSWIFT1]

I meant a source from AMD.

 

Nevermind, I see it now.  This is indeed a very, very good deal from AMD.

 

When I got a 1440p monitor, I wanted to get a 980ti to upgrade with it (or a second 970)...now I have to reconsider.  Thankfully, with both of these so close to each other, the 980ti and Furies now have to compete for the customers with deals and coupons, instead of Nvidia having control of the highend.

Furys*,Not Furies

Looking at my wallet. I don't have a wallet.

Yes, AIBs are allowed to make their own Hybrid water cooled Fury.

Probably meant DX12.

Woops. Yeah, I meant dx12. Autocorrect replaced it >.>

I can understand the concern people have as the industry has portrayed that VRAM density matters, when it really doesn't. Every game on the market today could of been optimized to run on less than 2GB of memory, even at 4k resolution. The problem lies within developers needlessly wasting memory. DirectX 12 should help with these density concerns with async copy queues and async compute allowing for faster streaming with less latency (reduced texture popping).

 

Witcher 3 is the only game in recent memory that does it properly.  

[Doobeedoo]

I hope we get proper detailed in depth view in HBM real world performance, I'm really curious how those 4GB act compared to old memory. Or even vs larger amount of older memory.
