Well, while it's great to se R9 295x2 get such a score, AFAIK it's ahead of a Titan X, not a 1080

Is the xfx 390x good? It's around £250 on scan

390Xs go like this: Sapphire->MSI->XFX/PowerColor-> rest of them.

 

If the first two are more expensive or unavailable, XFX is good.

Ok, it's the only one I could find for a good price, this or vega it is, thanks for the continued help, jeez 11 pages, sorry about that

No problem, enjoy your 390X, it's definitely worth it for that price and should do great for 1440p gaming, it's not a 980Ti/1070, so you might have to turn down some settings, but not the crucial ones, only those that take most performance. Leave AA at FXAA and it should be great.

I don't mind running at high anyway, love your name by the way

You know I love ya, right. But those score don't seem right. I'm not 400 points off from a 1080. Nor do I beat a Nano by 8000 points.

BRO BRO BRO...if you look at the chart closely...at the bottom it says ''graphics score'' in which case you posted a graphics score of 21 289 with that overclock you have there...your card is a match for a stock nvidia GTX 1080 in firestrike...which makes perfect sense.

That's exactly what I was saying? I knew that? The scores posted on the graph Morgan supplied are tosh, complete tosh. That site is manipulating the data to fit the outcome they want.

why do you say that? i think they make perfect sense...firestrike loves the impressive cuda core count of your 980ti...and they run quite fast...it's normal for 980ti with a strong overclock like you have there to match a 1080 and wipe the floor with the 1070...you have a very strong GPU you know?

I think it's all legit and it makes perfect sense IMHO.

Some make sense, others are WAY off.

If you check leaderboards for firestrike, it's all Titan X and 980ti up there...worlds best overclockers can't match their old scores with the new cards...they're just too fast

 

these slow ass AMD pile of shit at the bottom?! they are where they belong man.

Like the low score of the Nano and high 295x2 score?

nano is a trottling pos and 295X2 is 2 powerful GPU with a watercooler on top...IMHO this also make sense...i don,t know but to me these scores are pretty consistent to what you can see while browsing results on futuremark website...Firestrike loves many cores/stream processor and this is also true for AMD cards...and 295X2 is as much stream processors you can have on a card on AMD side...it belongs at the top of the charts.

But they're playing games with clock speeds, conveniently limiting some and boosting others to get the results they want. I call shenanigans.

maybe...but can you be more precise on what you would expect from firestrike scores?

you would have liked to see the 295X2 lower and the nano higher if i understand correctly?

i think all these cards were tested on out of the box settings...980ti is the best overclocker of the bunch (still unmatched Kingpin's 1905mhz run i believe) ...nano is the worst...1080/1070 are in the middle...to get good firestrike scores it help to have lots and lots of stream processor/cuda cores...295X2/TitanX/980ti is where it's at for firestrike right now.

 

Look at that 1080 SLI score up there tho...imagine titan X SLi a bit above it...now imagine TITAN XP SLI ...the bar would make all the other look like a joke...GPU's from 2002 or something...holy crap!

http://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/

 

in DX12 timespy though there is a twist...3way GTX 1080 faster than 4 titan X:

http://www.3dmark.com/hall-of-fame-2/timespy+3dmark+score+performance+preset/version+1.0

1080 react better to DX12

(gotta love what the first guy with the timespy top score wrote in the description box:

'' FU NVidia - give us 3/4 way SLI back in games. 2 gtx 1080s are not powerful enough to play maxed in 4k gaming! ''

LOL

GTX 1070 and 1080 as well...i don't see anything in the news about how titan XP handle Async? can you link something

Yep, though the Titan XP is hinted to have it on a hardware level, we'll see once the reviews hit.

i think this is relevant, and we will see that happening with many DX12 titles in the future...the way nvidia is doing the workload context switching is not bad at all IMHO.

 

The thing we have to keep in mind however, is that Preemption and Asynchronous compute are both different approaches to achieve the same end result: maximizing the utilization of a GPU. And while AMD will have you believe Async is a drastically superior choice, badly implemented Async will fare much worse than properly implemented preemption.

Neither maxwell, nor pascal scales better than any of AMD cards.(In clockspeed).

If only AMD cards weren't thermally limited, it would have left NVidia in the dust, but sadly that will probably never be the case.

But still, if the 1060 is on the cheap, get it, it's a great card.

+100mhz is good...if you have a strix card...it boost to 1390mhz on it's on...mine only has a +55mhz on the core and i see it boost to 1450mhz or so...anything more than that it crash (only a 70% asic score though...)

Seeing how mad the nvidia fan club has been about overclocking but the 980 Ti couldn't clock better than my 280x.

There were no aftermarket Fury X because they don't overclock. And there was nothing wrong with the reference design. Already had a AIO.

 

A Fury X aircooled would've have been a more convenient option for some. Nice joke though.

brother you,re taking all this way too seriously...this is the beer league here at LTT it's full of teens that are broke and know nothing...at least that,s how i see this forum...if you'd know my background you would know why i allow myself to act like this around here from time to time

just relax...it's all good brother
