R9 NANO vs R9 Fury vs GTX 980 and 2xCrossFire (R9 NANO/ R9 FURY) vs GTX Titan X

[DiegoWithLag]

I want to know what gets me the best of the best in 4k Performance:

 

First:

 

R9 NANO

vs

R9 FURY

vs

GTX 980

 

Second:

Crossfire R9 NANO

vs

Crossfire R9 FURY

vs

GTX TITAN X

Titan X is a complete waste of money now that 980Ti exists. 

[Starelementpoke]

The Fury X. And the Fury X in Xfire. Or the Fury, that works too. But thermals, so Titan X if you want only 1 card and significantly less heat. Unless you do go Fury X, because water cooling.

[PlayStation 2]

First one: depending on the price, R9 Fury or R9 Nano.

Second: R9 Fury hands down, not worth dealing with the poorly cooled Nanos or shitty and redundant Titan Xs.

Or this.

fury X loses to 980ti so that's a waste of money too.

I want to do custom water cooling so i dont want fury x

But it has 10% more shaderz

GTFO XDDDDDD

If you are doing a custom loop then get the Xfire Nanos, it will stop them from throttling and in turn give better performance.

From what I hear, it does pretty well at 4k when up against the ref. 980ti. Then again, I haven't seen a current enough benchmark to say for as of now, for against an aftermarket 980ti. But as he's said he want's custom water cooling, and as the Fury tends to be cheaper, he could go Fury and be justified with the choice.

i thought they had power throttling...

Fury is a cut down core card.

True. Just putting in my 2 cents.

Typically loses in an insignificant matter. Mostly tied in unbiased games or at 1440p+ but still.

They thermal throttle with the stock cooler because it isn't good enough to keep them cool but if you use water cooling on a Nano it will be able to work at it's full potential.

At stock. Yea.

[arnavvr]

R9 Nano for sure. The price drop to $499 has made it the best bang for buck.

Yes but there is also power throttling, at most the bios only allows 230 or so watts as the power limit, though water cooling would also result in lower leakage and therefore getting more power out of it.

If he plans on doing custom bios flashing then potentially that means a fury X at quite a bit lower cost(as long as water cooling stuff doesn't cost too much, but it should cost 300 bucks for just the two Gpus. The nano has two bios but I know one is just a failsafe, so I guess you could flash the default one and if you fail use the failsafe?

Not sure about that.

[PlayStation 2]

At stock. Yea.

Stock speeds, yes. OC'd, well of course the 980 Ti's gonna win because the Fury X can barely OC 50MHz past its stock clock.

It's also seen by games to only have 4g of VRAM verses the 6g on the 980ti. Speed doesn't matter if games go off of quantity.

I'll give you that. But not too many games (at least at the moment) go over 4GB, and when they typically do, they're optimized like fucking shit or you're using 3200x1800 or above. By then, normally, you're already losing out on full 60fps everything maxed out in most titles.

Totally, a Fury X is already more than enough. The fact it has a AIO is a major point in its favor in my opinion.
