AMD R9 Fury X Leaps Ahead Of Nvidia GTX 980 Ti With The Latest Windows 10 Drivers

[ALXAndy]

The dev behind Msi AB has already hinted that Voltage control will happen.

I'm not so sure but hey, like these drivers I may be pleasantly surprised

"Did someone mention cake?"

If they did, it was a lie.

Will it though ?, as theres still no sign of the Trixx that was supposed to have it either.

That was actually quite impressive on Nvidia's part, its not a fraction on Mantle but it is pretty fantastic DX11.

Anyway... Googlay, Nvidia don't hate the end user, and for anyone to say its impossible to increase performance on anything is just trolling, if they are serious.

I would say in the past Nvidia absolutely had the upper hand in software development, but more recently i would say AMD have thier act together to such an extent they are more often putting Nvidia on the defensive, and that's good for all.

nVidia really dug deep to pull out those gains - taking DX11 apart close to the boundary layer with the drivers not just at the interface between the 2 itself - I can't really see AMD putting in that amount of effort this late in the day for DX11 - though I suspect they've had a good look at what nVidia has been doing hence possibly why some of these gains maybe.

Yeah. hats and bow to Nvidia for that one.

I think it will, just not sure how long it will take.. TBH its gotta happen at some point, Next year AMD and Nvidia could be on HBM that will leave a lot of users not being able to overclock.

Am not sure how much hard work is put into this sort of thing, how long did Gddr 1,2,3,4 or 5 take to crack?

If it's as I suspect at the moment (IE the memory being on the same live as the core) then it won't happen.

They will have to come up with a way to supply both the memory and CPU separate voltage lines so that you can leave one alone and concentrate on the other, and I'm not even sure that's possible.

As I said I hold out absolutely no hope whatsoever, so if I am pleasantly surprised then bonus

Didn't they used to do that on Tahiti?

 

[nashathedog]

Leaps???... More like steps

I think you mean stumbles.

Wonder how many would be slamming Nvidia for not getting the VC done for their HBM cards if it didn't happen

I'm not holding my breath either, Hasn't the AB fella ended up simply saying he won't comment on it any more. I've given up on waiting for voltage tweaking, There seems to be an issue with it or we'd already have it and in all honesty I'm really happy with how my Fury Tri-x performs and I don't bother getting the 40 or 50 mhz that's available already through manually overclocking.

Sensational headlines and stories like this should maximize sales no end for AMD. I predict another dozen or so sold by the end of the year.... at least.

That's a very positive outlook you have there lol

 

[Uncle Petey]

"The same as flopper"...

Yeah, ok.

 

[Gregster]

I am genuinely pleased that AMD have gained performance. Great stuff and keep up the good work.

Why does it always sound so sarcastic when you say it?

Yeah id just forget about VC on Fury, its not coming.

 

[Ian Evey]

Hopefully these deliver as it has been a tad boring lately in the GPU forum.

I have Seen more bickering than discussion and some awkward posts including myself, its to be expected when there is not really much to discuss and hopefully these bring the performance on par ( although the 390 is probably the best Price / performance card already ).

I hope the fury users get a nicer boost tbh as those cards should perform way over what they currently do

 

[Kaapstad]

It is a nice increase for the Fiji cards but the thing to remember is the comparison is against a reference 980 Ti using stock clocks, old drivers and stock voltage.

I am one of the people who think that VC will come for Fiji and when it does that will be the time to judge performance.

 

[Rofflay]

I hope they can pull of a jump with crimson being honest and with FRTC looking like the 55-90 range gone and performance mentioned they are maybe 60% of the way back hopefully? 4K is what matters this is the one going forward and my 980 despises overlocking at 4K and when it comes to blows AMD and Nvidia hit the same at 4K.


My last obstacle to them now looks like VSR having support for Ultrawide and all resolutions Nvidia offer with the same or higher IQ and variance. And i want rid of Afterburner so i would need overclocking supported by Crimson with fan control. Pull that off and i am an AMD buyer because i dislike bloat and multiple things running. So while you guys wait about having that i am dreaming of uninstalling.


Odd...
