No you're just trying to ram your opinion down other people's throats.

Comparing benchmark results of the Fury X to other cards is completely on topic.

cant make a valid comparison that way.
not possible.
you can argue all you want about that but unless you do it like kaapstad your argument is moot and null.
He buys both and run comparisons on his machine, valid comparison.
is that too difficult to understand?

If you read my comment carefully you'll see I wasn't talking about whether you can make a valid comparison that way or not, is that too hard to understand?

So for arguments sake, if I compare the Fury X that is run with the same CPU and OS that I have to another GPU, Suddenly that's impossible and all results are null and void ?

Very odd way of thinking :p

It's interesting how the Fury wins every test and then loses every test once both cards are overclocked.

I read the part stating the chart is an error and that the right column was the 100 MHz overclocked Fury X. That is a simple 100MHz overclock to show the difference, it does NOT claim that is the actual max possible overclock.

Saw one of the benches , can't remember which , and whilst the framrate was always higher than the ti ,the settings where either custom @ 4k or a mix of medium and high . ( bringing it below the 4gb vram threshold ) the witcher is perfect for 4k , optimised textures etc , but everything I've seen shows me memory management is a must .

Had a thought last night , why bring fury x2 with only 4gb per GPU , but then I thought is there no way to connect each interposer to pool the memory so to speak ? Would that be viable ? Giving 2 GPUs one pool of memory but a large pool of 8gb ...

We'll be supporting the Fury X in Linux. :)

just to confirm you are supporting it in linux
[like everyone other card amd does]
but will it beat a 750ti in benchmarks?
[ eg have some performance to actually use!...]

290 loses to a 750ti on Linux in several games.

until this is addressed i have no choice but Nvidia :(
i like options god dam you!

Sorry if this has been posted, but do we know what UK pricing is going to look like yet or are we still guessing?

Early batch price gouging will come into affect so it will be £650 from particular etailers. When there is plentiful stock expect the prices to go back down to £500-550
 
Do you think we will be getting aftermarket options for the FuryX as its a W/C setup or will they be restricted to the Radion Reference designs? I know many of us traditionally skip the reference and wait a bit longer for the aftermarket designs to tricle through, but I guess there wont and there is no need to create them anyway is there? Imagine a lightning edition?

well I dont compare any other way as on PC you have so much that can influence the results. sweclockers here for example are nvidia pro and their results differs from nordichardware which would be more neutral.
so if two websites review the same cards using same games and those results are off what do you think about that then?

Its why I say, Kaapstad does it right he buy both brands run comparisons which I call valid. You might not agree on that but to establish a valid and I would say fair comparison thats what I do.

Main issue as always is while a win for example Fury let say 5% or 10% vs a 980ti or the other way around I ask, how much of a difference between those will I have when I game? In a practical manner there wont be a difference that you can do a double blind study and say which machine runs what card.

So for me it boils down to how I use the machine in the use that counts for me. My normal user pattern and buys I make are midrange/high a 290/390 etc.. I buy the Fury due to I run eyefinity and crossfire is out of question for me as single cards offer the best gaming experience. I buy the Fury for one main thing "Minfps" as the bandwidth and the raw power will ensure that goes up at resolutions for me which I value more than a 5% average win. smoothness is a key thing for immersion and Mantle and DX12 will have that and for me AMD just made new tech with the Fury so I rather bet on that than old tech.

I didnt plan to buy one but the card is too good to pass up for me.

I just disagree.
Kaapstad shown that what he does is better for the user.
I trust in him:D
 
Just because someone appears vendor agnostic because they buy both brands doesn't mean they are. One should be capable of making their own conclusion based on either their own findings or combing tests from several sources.

I refer you to my signature.

Someone wanna tell this guy, Mantle's been dead for a while now ?
 
I expect it's easier just to add 54% to the performance figures of a stock 290x 4gb in 4k rather than trying to pick apart the 980ti perf comparison numbers.
