Hey guys! just stumbled upon this video of a 980 Ti running at 1480mhz going up against a RX Vega 56 at 1550-1600mhz. I think you'll be suprised as all previous benchmarks you've seen are of the Ti running stock and we all know the 980 Ti gets the biggest gains from overclocking.

Give it a watch and all I have to say is, considering the Ti is coming up to 2 1/2 years old it's embarrassing it'll take AMD's best (vega 64) to just about beat the older Ti..... thoughts?
 
No one on this board is going to be surprised by what the 980ti can do. I don't even need to watch the video.

I just thought I'd share since Nvidia are just releasing a new card to beat vega 56..something in which the Ti does and also because of the age of the card :)
 
We've all talked about this in threads months and months ago, simply vega is an expensive, huge die fury II with side cache for Compute loads. It is limited by dx11 scheduling, whilst dx12 helps utilise the 4 geometry engines more effectively.
Amd haven't innovated since tonga they needed to move to a 6/8 engine design.
This is where navi comes in, but then they'll still need to address front end scheduling.

Yet in some of the latest games it's competing with a ti and not a 1080. The 980ti is still a beast overclocked but as new games come around Vega is looking decent. Time will tell but i think Vega will get faster and faster. I wouldn't touch most of the new Gen if i had a 980ti though.
 
Wow nice video, really very surprised 980 Ti still going very strong beast almost 2.5 years on left Fury X in the dust put both HBM1 and HBM2 to shame. :cool:

Sure gm200 isn't worth buying now. There are few examples where vega is edging closer to a stock Gp102, but it's not representative of the whole finer details, when you do you realise how bad it is for the Industry if Amd continue to execute such weak advancements over each generation.

All this video does is highlight what we've always known is AMD's Achilles heel and that's consistency, The video's been made using worst case examples, I bet there's loads of titles not yet catered for by Vega's drivers but highly optimised for in Maxwell's due to the age, Metro's a prime example that I've seen, Another example that I can think off that'll show a massive gap is Project cars but that's the same with all AMD cards just like ROTTR. This video doesn't tell us anything we don't already know.

I bought one (980 Ti) in the US for £430 at launch and that's my best gaming GPU buy so far. Sadly missed the 1080 Ti launch by about a week in the US and didn't want to pay £600+ back in the UK. Still does 75 fps in most games at 3440 x 1440 so good enough for me until the next big GPU release.
 
I was tempted to pick up a 980Ti when the prices plummeted after Nvidias CEO said the 1080 was 30% faster than the 980Ti. £280 for a EVGA super clock.

Finger crossed when Volta ships the same will happen with the 1080ti although I'm not sure by that time a DX11 card will be worth it. Although Volta might push Vega prices down.

Still using my Asus 980ti Poseidon here FPS locked at 60FPS, all my games run smooth as silk so no need to upgrade yet.

When l decide to upgrade will go for a second hand 1080TI H2o Cooled.

Thoughts, honestly, I think maybe you are trolling a bit? Everyone here already knows how good the 980ti is. Nvidia's 1070ti will barely beat it, 2 1/2 years on, embarrassing really.
