Killed my gpu and now looking for something that will run two monitors and play BF4 @2560 on ultra settings.
Certainly dont want to spend any more than £550

How did you kill your GPU?

Lets just say.. excessive volts proved to much :eek:

Im still thinking about going micro on my next build so did look at the R9 nano.

My current system is xeon 5870 @ 4.2 but im going to let the mrs have this and run it as media server and facebook games machine :D

So it will be essentially a new GPU for a new system as well

Having had both a Fury X and 980 Ti I would go 980 Ti, Costs less, Better performance, Higher overclocks, Shadowplay, More frequent drivers and Gameworks which in the Batman games looks immense and doesn't even tax performance that much.

Check that Nvidia smoke :p

While you would be safer with the fury as you cant kill it with volts lol. The 980ti is the better overall card hands down.

You cant really kill a 980ti with volts either, as on air I found that increasing volts has only a marginal effect on OC you are better off just leaving it on stock volts and finding the best OC it will do.

And +1 to what everyone else has said, the 980ti overclocks so well that even cherry picking games it maintains a clear lead.
 
With that budget it has to be the 980ti. It's a overclockers dream!

The fury x is also very good if you primarily game at 4K. Overclockers dream? Not so much :p

It looks pretty good but like most Nvidia stuff I just find it looks a little wrong. The amount of smoke and the thickness of it and the way it moves (in a very predictable pattern like a looping gif as well) just makes it look like it's good but it could do with a bit of work still. In game though I imagine you're going to find it a bit more immersive than literally staring at it and trying to analyse how it looks of course.
