Title explains it all really

http://www.overclock.net/t/1578881/fury-x-is-now-just-as-fast-as-gtx-980ti-in-1080p-1440p-and-faster-in-4k

 

Techpowerup recently reviewed the 980 ti lightning. In that review, it was compared to other graphics cards all running the latest drivers. The 980 ti is shown equal to the Fury X at 1440p, and 4% behind the Fury X at 4k.

 

Previously (at around launch) Fury X was 10% behind @1440p

 

Let's not forget that the Fury X is (In the US) generally cheaper than the 980 ti.

 

Fury X is $630, reference 980 ti can be gotten for less, but most aftermarket 980 ti are ~650 in my looking

 

View this nifty graph for evidence

It's a pretty safe assumption these are all stock clocks, though.

980 ti is still better, but Fury X is now much closer

I personally think it's great, i just wish more people knew about it. AMD needs the publicity

 

Edit: Wrong number, fixed

Only the reference 980ti is behind

the aftermarket 980tis are still better than the fury x at all resolutions

plus you can overclock them even more, so you get even more performance

True. Not to mention the Fury X has 4gbs of Vram, vs the 6gbs of the 980Ti.

"Now Equal"

 

what changed?

 

Drivers more than likely. But the title is misleading, as the aftermarket cards that allow for the card to go passed it's reference limits (since Nvidia cards have the GPU boost stuff, if it's cool enough) and beat the Fury X.

 

EDIT: Had to fix the post as I didn't finish my thought.

Nice, but I can see one of the reasons is that TPU finally removed Wolfenstein from their benchmark suite. Wolfenstein A New Order is an OpenGL game programmed for NVidia's OpenGL drivers and (it seems) has had some of its shaders replaced by proprietary NVidia shaders. The result is that NVidia tended to have almost double performance in that one game. So their weighted average benchscores would severely handicap AMD.

 

This might also be one of the reasons AMD did not provide them with cards for reviews with Fury X/Nano.

 

As for price, bear in mind that the Fury X comes with an AIO cooler, making it cool and quiet.

I linked to the overclock.net post because this isn't about the 980 ti lightning. I'd rather link to an unnofficial news source than the wrong goddamn source. It's not lazy reporting, all i'm doing is sharing information with a different user base. Don't insult me

the 980ti lightning is highlighted in the graph you posted and you were talking about aftermarket 980tis, which the Lightning is...

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

I'm primarily talking about the reference card, the lightning is highlighted because the graph this realization is based on is from the lightning review...

The Fury X only has 4GB of vram tho. That's the problem.

Very good catch. I would like to point out the wide variance in Fury X reference prices though with Neweggs XFX one going for 599, the cheapest Sapphire one going for 639, and the MSI model for 679. (on further examination, it looks like most of the Fury X variants are currently on sale for Halloween somehow, so might be a time to grab one if you are actually interested in them...)

 

Cool yes. Quiet... Well if you can dampen the high frequency whine yes...

VRAM isn't the problem. I can guarantee you that.
