Better for long term

Fury X may have better drivers long term, just looking at NV 7XX vs AMD 7XXX/2XX, seems like AMD is doing better regarding that, but no one can know that, that is how things are at this moment. Older AMD cards perform better than older NV cards in most cases (my opinion, talking about cards few years old), but NV beats AMD regarding for how long they have official drivers for cards by a lot (~5+ years old cards). Both are switching with who has worse drivers (yes I wrote worse, not better) all the time.

Tbh I'm not even sure how someone can even have an opinion for drivers over the course of 5 years.

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

No contest Nvidia wins. I've owned both and Nvidia is in another league altogether from AMD. Not even a contest

But the fury x is at par with the 980ti. The 780ti (i believe) doesn't work as well when it was $600 unlike the 290x?

I have to say I agree here.... I have own multiple of both over the years and Nvidia drivers just work a whole lot better (thats my opinion!)

It's a good card, and at stock they are comparable, but you OC the 980Ti and it's game over.

Agree with this.

 

Anytime you want a high end card go with Nvidia. You want something for a budget build? Sure use AMD but when you get to high end stuff you use Nvidia.

xD no. A 980ti obliterates a Fury X. The only 980ti a Fury X can hang with is a reference cooler equipped 980ti.

 

 

 

If anyone asks you never saw me.

You can't say that Nvidia has better driver support for older cards than AMD cause that's pretty much what OP asked

AIO: Corsair H150i Pro RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB 32GB 3600MHz DDR4 Case: Lian Li PC-O11 Dynamic PSU: Corsair RM850x White

I don't think we can help you there a lot. You may want it, NV and AMD may not. I personally would go with NV in this case. Hopefully Maxwell doesn't get the same driver issues Kepler had, 970 beating 780Ti and such.

Actually, yes I can.

 

Here is a comparison to older verses newer Nvidia cards in the latest Tomb Raider game that just released.

Cards from 7XXX era and on I'd say have better driver support so there AMD wins, but go before GCN cards and that's where NV wins, they have official driver for god knows how far behind, and I'm talking about newest drivers.

If you bring up a game that isn't Nvidia-partnered, then we'll talk ^^

Yea that's what worries me in the long run.

So Nvidia partnering with developers to ensure their older cards get the best support, isn't a selling point?

No, that's jut not a fair comparison because you did not mention that in your post

OK, how about AMD making 290 owners wait weeks for a fix to a problem AMD caused in Fallout 4 when it had been fixed on the 390?

 

Which is why I own a 980ti BTW

Its not gonna hang on for that long you know that right? best bet would be to buy the mid-high end cards every 2 or one year like now a 390/970 (or wait for new generation 490/1070) and then a year or two later upgrade
