For benchers they are. For the rest of us, not so much.

Sometimes I just think...are those premium 980Ti (or all those high-end 80/80Ti cards in the pass) really worth the premium comparing to the standard 980Ti in the finanial sense?

I know that "feel good factor" certain is involved, but comparing to a 980Ti at around £650 to ones that's around £500, is it really worth it in the finanial sense? they certain cost around 30% more, but they are FAR from being 30% faster...more like around 5% faster at most case performance wise, which usually would only translate to 1-2fps higher at sub 60fps?

if you can afford such things they are worth it for the E-peen, yes. In practical terms with any Maxwell once you reach about 1450 to 1500Mhz you have hit the sweet spot for performance, anything over that gains you nothing worth mentioning because 100Mhz is like 3% at that level, it just puts unnecessary strain on the GPU.

Most Maxwell cards will do 1450, so any will do a good job

Sorry guys but my 980 Ti is nowhere near the fastest on these forums and I am not talking about 8 Packs either.

There is a guy with a reference 980 Ti that leaves mine for dead lol.

While we are on the subject how many Fury Xs can run at 1150mhz.

Uncle Petey · 16 Nov 2015 at 19:28

There are always exceptions. Fact is, the card is way faster than the majority of Ti's and that's why you bought it.

Kaapstad · 16 Nov 2015 at 19:28

Tomb Raider
Max settings
1440p

980 Ti

Fury X

With the performance difference above even if I underclocked the 980 Ti it would probably still win.

I was going to post some more game benchmarks but I don't think I will as some people are not interested in any results but what they want to see.

Don't play the victim and make this into something it isn't.

I bought it as it will be a collectors item, I have no intention of using custom bios, big volts or extreme cooling on it.

As to performance it is a bit slower than one of my TitanXs in demanding tasks.

Ok.

What were the clocks in the TR bench btw?

As all you want to do is criticise and insult I don't see why I should waste my time.

Perhaps you could do some something constructive like posting some benches or whatever that you have done to add value to the thread.

Same as in the Firestrike Ultra one above.

It really won't, something like the voodoo 5 6000 is a collectors item as it was unreleased and only around 200 made, a 980 ti with a copper heatsink not so much.

Typical and predictable tactics of trying to switch it onto me.

Read back through the thread and see why this has got to where it is. Don't kid yourself into thinking you're squeaky clean.

I asked you straight questions and all you could do is avoid answering with tryhard smartarsery.
This is on you.

When I say collectors item I mean something I won't be selling so future value is not important.

As I said above why don't you do something contructive.

You have got a 980 ti, use it !!!

I also think I have answered all your questions, unfortunately you do not like the answers.

Uncle Petey · 16 Nov 2015 at 19:39

What would you like me to do? Again, you're incredibly vague in your attempts to switch it.

Anything you think of value.

Uncle Petey · 16 Nov 2015 at 19:41

Like point out the flaws in your testing/comparison perhaps? That's already been done and I'm not alone there.

Be specific instead of scrabbling to shift the blame.

4K results should turn it around in favour of the Fury X though

Yeah, my 970 will do 1604/2100 on stock volts at 65c, its a pretty exceptional clocker even for a 970 which clock that bit higher than 980TI's do.

I can't realistically run it much higher than 1500/2000 for 24/7 use.

I disagree with the 1450mhz is a sweet spot and anything beyond isn't scaling enough to justify the fps. For my 970 g1 it's 1580mhz on stock volts 1.21v. Also I can't see how you are losing 100mhz on the core for 24/7 stability surely it can hold 1550 quite easily?

my 970 valley
1450/8000 64.4 2693 30.4 122.1
1578/8000 66.8 2794 33.2 128.3 24/7 stable
1610/8200 69.3 2898 33.6 130.8 bench
