New graphic card

[XCruzzerX89]

Ok, so I have been having a lot of computer problems lately and one of those problems was that my R9 295x2 died, and I returned it to amazon and I should be getting $630 in refund and I can stretch a little to get a gpu. Should I get a GTX 980 TI, 2 R9 390Xs, or a R9 Fury X? Also the 980 TI I was looking at is the Galax HOF which is $700 and both R9 390Xs would be $820ish.

I don't just want one answer, I want to know exactly why I want to know the benefits, because I know 2 R9 390x will out preform 1 980 TI.

I like the Fury X best!

Can you state why I would get it over the other options?

[Sam Z Man]

You can get 2 XFX Double D 1.05ghz 290X's for 550$, that's just like your old 295X2 and you have 80$ extra to keep or maybe spend on aesthetic upgrades like cable sleeving.

Smaller, Cuter, Should be more silent due to water cooler, bigger bus, and HBM!

I could, but I have seen benchmarks that the R9 390x is neck and neck with the GTX 980, and I would really like more vram since I play in 4k

Dual 390Xs are also a good idea!

Get the Fury X.  It competes well with the 980 Ti and with future drivers coming out for that card, it should perform better.  I am sure all the NVidia fan boys will kill me for saying this, but I could give a shit, the drivers currently for the 980 Ti is complete garbage especially for an SLI setup.

ok great, those charts prove that if I get 2 R9 390x that would be better than one 980 Ti, also I have seen other benchmarks that say that the Fury X is pretty close to the 980 TI. and also that is comparing a non overclocked Fury X to a factory overclocked 980 TI

Benchmarks that do this puts me off, are they trying to be more biased then GPU boss.

Those are the ones I ignore.  I usually like to see stock vs stock.  If I want to see overclock, I could care less about factory stock overclock.  I want to see user based overclock vs user based overclock.

So in terms of performance, which will give me the best bang for my buck?

Galax GTX 980 TI- $700

2 XFX Double D R9 390x- $860

R9 Fury X- $650

If you could care less about crossfire or SLI issues, go with the 390x.  I always recommend buying the best single card you can afford so I would recommend the Fury X.  Right now, well in my case, the drivers for the 980 TI are complete shit.  But it could just be me because I am running an SLI setup.

I also agree with the if you can buy one GPU that is better than 2 then do it, but the dual 390x is a lot better than the 980 TI so I think I'm going to do that

Looks like you have had a crossfire setup before so you know what you are getting into.  390X crossfire is definitely better than a 980 Ti or Fury X.  SLI or crossfire them, it is a different story.  It's why I had to do it.

Its true, r9 390x crossfire would be better performance, but the power draw and heat output is quite large. As a single 980ti would likely be a lot cooler, especially if he god a hybrid version of the card. I personally love red team, but sometimes i have to admit to the greater performing card will be a better option.
