390x vs Fury

[stealth80]

better than AMD pitched the whole 300 series imo. Their drivers really have helped their battle with NV, so much so that they sort of gimped the Fury, which could be a great card, but I guess they are the early adopters for HBM, things can only improve though

about all I can find, but that pitches the 980 as the winner

 

Still the most is like 12%

Sorry, but that video has 0 credibility. Whoever made doesn't know the difference between the Fury X and the Fury. No doubt in my mind that the author didn't actually test that card or even any of them.

In the end, I got the 390  

the extra £50 isn't worth the 3-5 more fps for the 390x imo, and the 390 is cheap enough for me to afford

I was also thinking about R9 390 or R9 390X.

In the end I decided to get R9 390 nitro. It has 10% less stream processors, but everything else seems to be identical. Also you can overclock R9 390 so it will be like 390x on stock. Sure you can overclock 390x also and it will again be 10% difference (theoretical), but as you said, those 70€ difference isn't worth for around 3 FPS more (at least not for me).

You should be able to find a R9 Nano for about the same price as the most costly 390X why not Nano?

Woah I got the R9 390 for 340 euros, and when I search on amazon for the nano, I see prices from 430-500 pounds >.<

Not something I can afford

R9 390 non X is the best value but past that it seems to be just lose...

Exactly... Plus, the 390 has 8GB of vram, which means that will later be able to add another 390 and not have the memory bottleneck my performance

Depends on how well they make Xfire in DX12 and other future games!

nop

do you know what limits are?

If you divide by zero you get an undefined result.

 

As X, given X=price, approaches 0, you approach ∞, which is the limit.

 

I've not taken precalc yet so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

as i said before, you learn how to divide by 0 and infinity in calculus

you need to know how to add or subtract or multiply by those "non-numbers" to find actual numbers

but thats stuff you learn later so dont worry about it

 

for example (1/∞) * (∞/1) = 1 even though ∞ is not a number

390x - Fury isn't worth the x1.5 price.

Took two posts, but it's finally on topic!

then you need to learn about derivatives

 

and then you will be able to use derivatives to solve indeterminate forms (aka 0/0 or ∞ /∞ or ∞*0 and stuff like that)

Cool, I'll have a look.

[grayperview]

I paid £407 for my fury, i think at the time a good 390x was around £340-3350. So with the fury having HBM and not a lot more expensive i went for that.

 

Fury's at the moment are quite expensive (£440 for a nitro) unless you want a nano...390x vary in price from £326-370.....

 

Given the prices id look at the 390 or even a GTX980 the are under £390 in the uk now. if you budget doesn't stretch to a fury,

Graphics cards are mine field right now, for performance anything from the 390 non X up is great buy now.

I need to get a new GPU, and I need to decide between the two.

I have a 1440p 144hz monitor with FreeSync, and am wondering which one is more bang for the buck.

Thanks.

Would get the fury nano for 500 myself. 

[grayperview]

you need to take into account the environment you live in with the Nano.

 

If you live in a cool climate the Nano is a no brainer, but a hot climate that Nano is gonna throttle like a bitch...
