But no OCing...

Here you go two examples from their testing.

1.17v to 1.21 v scales roughly 75-100mhz from 1050mhz.
If it's linear scaling with fury x on water then 1.3v should top out at 1200-1250mhz, On air the fury should in theory touch 1150-1200 at a real push, it might throttle too much at 1.3v on air though.

Well I'm sticking with my 290X longer then.

How many weeks before you sell the 980Ti ?

May be a while as AMD seem to have a shortage of Fiji chips so the dual card could be some time.

Boomstick777's PCI-E slot must be starting to feel constipated already. :eek:

Haha, depends if anything faster / more interesting comes.

The 980 Ti looks like it might be best bet until a die shrink next year.

I'm not impressed by the performance of the Fiji cards 'for the money'

But, i think AMD have done a good job with them in terms of power consumption, there isn't much difference between Fiji and Nvidia's GM200, if any at all depending on where you look.

Hopefully in time the drivers will mature that bit to catch up the bit of performance, there is not too much in it.

I will do an owners thread with reviews etc.

The problem at the moment is there does not seem to be any cards for retail.

Unless desperate the next round should be where it's at. I've started saving

I'm hoping a single card will be easily beating my 2 x 7970's.

I think you'll probably plump for a Pascal Titan when it's released from its cage

Hell, I might even treat myself to it!!! :cool:

As a slightly more biased to Amd cos we grew up together kind of guy,
I have to say Nvidia deserve their market share

You may be in for a bit of a wait as NVidia will release little Pascal first which won't be much faster than big Maxwell. :eek:

If AMD had got the styling right on the Tahiti cards like the HD7970 and got the drivers right on day one they would have wiped the floor with the GTX 670 and 680 giving them a much bigger market share.

thats going back a bit!

I reckon even gp204 will be a decent bit faster and loads more efficient than a 980ti

Doubt it, even when amd had the 9700 and 9800 which slapped the nvidia offerings around they never sold in the volume that a comparable nvidia card would. Thats back in the days when drivers were an issue but its something that struck a chord with people and its still something that sways opinion today.

Nor can you buy the Fury X still. <insert vaporware comment here>

Not in NVidia's interests to do that.

They will want little Pascal to be about 20% faster than the GM200 cards and will achieve it by limiting the cores to the very minimum to do this on the GP204 chips. This in turn will increase their profit as the cards will be cheaper to make and will leave a nice big performance gap for big Pascal to clean up with.

Just like they did with the Maxwell cards.
