Wait for the R9 fury air cooled or get a gtx 980?

[sebRR]

I am building my new pc next week sometime and I've heard that the R9 fury will cost around the same as a 980. should I wait for the R9 fury or just get a 980?

 

Thanks.

JUST WAIT!

We might expect a price drop (not really).

its 550 vs 500$ i would recommend the gtx 980 it will outperform the fury with less power and you can save more money on your build and also no driver issues.

Just wait... Who knows, the 980 might get another price drop. (fingers crossed)

Are those comparable? A 980 is very expensive for something that performs like an overclocked 970 or 290X. I'm intrigued as to where the Fury is going to sit, given the Fury X is only about halfway between the 980 and the 980 Ti. It might be just slightly under clocked and with an air cooler, that'd be most logical.

That would make it less powerful than the 390X, which I can't see happening.

Well their benchmarks seemed to have been pulled completely out of their arses, but as a GPU it's OK. It's a shame that it's the same price as a 980 Ti for something that's only almost as good, but still.

 

I think the AIO should have been left to board partners like the EVGA 980 Ti and not been the only cooler available, but eh.

Hey how was chrome working for you last month.

[VagabondWraith]

Wait for the Fury. It comes out the 14th. See the reviews/benchmarks then compare with the 980. I was going to get a Titan X but I held my horses a week longer for 980 Ti benchies and I saved $350 for practically a Titan X. Best decision I made.

 

Patience grasshopper.

Clock for clock it will be the same it is now. 3-5%.

I'm confused by the words "might expect". Don't you either expect it to happen or not expect it to happen?

Oh if you wait patiently for a week it destroys the scaling of SLI.

No we will all bleed green at the end unless samsung comes joins the party.

If nvidia had a monopoly they would legally be forced to split.
