Fury vs 980Ti

[Griffildur]

I seriously wouldn't want a 4GB card for 4K.

agreed, regardless of what type of memory that is, it's simply not enough.

4gb card + 2160p + ROTTR maxed is not a pretty sight.

The other day I watch the fps tank on an 8gb card doing the above benchmark.

I couldn't even run COD AW with all the trimmings at 1080P without it looking like a blurry mess on a 4GB card.

Of course its not enough for 4K, a 1080 is barely enough for 4K

Never played COD AW but I was playing BF4 at Ultra Settings 2xMSAA 1440p on a Fury this morning on a 64 man server and the frames averaged 90 and rarely dipped past 70 during very busy scenes

So in a nut shell on a non free sync monitor the 980ti at 1080p and 1440p but fury at 4K.

In a nutshell a cheaper 1070 thats £30 more than the cheapest 980Ti or your playing Russion roulette with drivers and vram.

4gb card 1080p & ROTTR ain't a pretty sight.

Is that all? pfffft, 100 mins or go home

Maybe when I upgrade my 8350 to Zen

Fps shouldn't come into it, as would you honestly buy a dearer card, just because it gives you more frames at lower graphical settings, you would rather pay for the top tier cards at £500 a pop, that give 100fps low settings, over the next card down in the tier, at £350/£400 a pop, because they only give you about 60/70fps, at ultra/high settings.

That's a very exaggerated comparison Loadsa, No-ones talking about having to run low settings, It tends to only be the texture files that ramp up the ram lately and dropping from very high to high is all it needs and the image difference is minimal.

Here's the difference when you drop from high to very high.

In my opinion it's minimal at most and when your playing the game rather than standing still staring at a wall it's virtually indistinguishable. Certainly not an issue that should warrant buying a slower card for the extra ram.

Give me a 4GB fury x over a 8GB 390 every day of the week!

I played ROTTR and could barely tell the difference between high and very high textures, only time was when flicking between screenshots and even then I really had to look.

Not got doom but from what I have seen, nightmare mode isn't much better looking than ultra either.

Not exactly low settings no, but tbh, it doesn't really matter if its 20 settings you have to turn down, or just the one setting you have to turn down imo, as its the flagship card, the most expensive one, it shouldn't have less vram than the card below it, or have to run at lower settings than the card below it, as that makes that cheaper card below it the flagship one, and whats also wrong, is having to upgrade your expenisve flagship card, sooner than those with the cheaper cards below it.

Admittedly they screwed up when only putting 4 gb's of HBM1 on the cards but the memory being an issue in games such as ROTTR was only an issue because IMO Nvidia made it one in order to segment AMD's flagship cards below there own, At least that's what I would have done if I was running Nvidia. That's why it suddenly became texture files hogging the ram instead of AA and the other usual ram hog settings.

I'm pee'd off after spending £440 on the pro but I'm also in no rush to upgrade as the cards got good legs still.

The 390s are AMDs flagship cards, more vram, can run at higher settings, and a longer lifespan.
