At least he said where he was taking a chance and where he got it wrong.

This is exactly what AMD needs now !!!

Even more importantly we all need AMD now more than ever.

Never mark a person down because of the job they are doing.

Huddy said it had 4 kilobits of RAM. I don't see anyone complaining about paying £500 for a 4Kb card anywhere? :confused:

Excuses, excuses, excuses, That's all we hear from Overclockers fanboy faction. Go watch the video again, Did it look like a statement from someone panicking in front of a crowd and wanting to get off stage?

What you need to accept is both sides come out with enough dung to keep 180 acres of farm land fertile after every big announcement, There both as bad as each other period.

One minute we're hearing how he was panicking and the next it's how the script was written before they had to increase the clocks to increase the performance to keep up with the competition.
For all we know it may be a little bit of both, we don't know but at the end of the day it was a lie and here we are months later with those of us who actually bought Fury cards finding that the lack of overclocking often puts it behind the 980 and often even the 290x/390x.

That's not fair on those of us who spent between 4 and 6 hundred quid on a card based on the promises we got from AMD's rep's and you've got to expect a certain amount of backlash over it.


It goes with the territory. And the people who sit on this forum attacking those that bring this up are pretty sad.
Especially considering half of them have not even bought the tech to experience it first hand.

My Fury Xs which I am using at the moment would have no trouble seeing off the GTX 980s and I should know as I own 4 GTX 980s.:D

That's a different circumstance, AMD have pretty good scaling plus the example I'm talking about is my Fury Tri-x which at stock often beats the 980 and is considered by many too be faster than a 980 while having very little overclocking room unlike the 980 and losing out once both are overclocked.

The Heaven 4 bench is NVidia's home ground but the Fury Xs have no problem beating off the GTX 980s.


4 GPU

  1. Score 2682, GPU TitanX @1480/2002, CPU 5960X @4.0, Kaapstad Link
  2. Score 2000, GPU Fury X @1140/500, CPU 5960X @4.0, Kaapstad Link
  3. Score 1759, GPU nvTitan @981/1788, CPU 3930k @4.8, Kaapstad Link
  4. Score 1702, GPU 980 @1472/1962, CPU 5960X @4.0, Kaapstad Link
  5. Score 1682, GPU 290X @1230/1500, CPU 4930k @4.8, Kaapstad Link

He means/has Fury Pro...

Fury pro should beat a GTX 980 as well.:)
Click to expand...

Single card performance has the Fury Pro often beating the 980 when both are on stock clocks but as practically all the benchmarking threads on this forum show once you overclock the 980 it leaves the Fury pro behind and sometimes the 290x will as well.

Kaapstad said:
The Fury Ps should be faster as the GTX 980 has a lot of weaknesses when used in multi GPU setups at high resolutions.

My post was not about multi card set ups, They are a minority, most of us have 1 card and because of the lack of overclocking it loses out more often than not.

Wow that's a cracking excuse from the red bus.

I'm utterly flabbergasted anyone believes that.

It's as ridiculous as the claim nvidia didn't mean to give reviewers the wrong impression RE 970 ROPS etc.

Haha, Do you not understand that AMD are the people's champion and would never stoop to the levels of Nvidia ;)

As you said, They are both as bad/good as each other!

panicked off stage couldn't make that up.

oh wait


Anyway he was right it is an overclockers Dream, Overclockers are dreaming about doing it because they can't do it in the real world. :)
