Sorry, the other day you said you had a UK exclusive on 500 G1's coming in
I was of course just pulling your leg as well

My £499 980Ti has nothing to do with Fury to be frank.
Just like how I did Titan X at £799 several weeks ago.
The sole reason for hitting £499 on a 980Ti was to be the first to go sub £500 on a 980Ti like it was first to go sub £800 on a Titan X.
The outcome is huge sales, huge marketing exposure because you are remembered for being 1st, never 2nd.
The fact Fury is here in a few days is just coincidence, I was hitting £499 on a 980Ti irrelevant of what AMD do.
How old is the Nvidia equivalent as opposed to AMD's offerings?

gets the brand further `out there` and means some would order items. increases sales base and with to notch customer service , keeps them coming back.

It really needs no promotion this card to sell it. I was supposed to publish my review over a week ago, but have simply held it off because I'd rather wait until I have large inventory to sell.
It is scary to have 100's of a card on pre-order and customers waiting, so I have held of posting the G1 review as long as possible and so far have only published a Heaven 4.0 score of it beating all the watercooled Titan X cards on this forum.

Hi,
Roughly the same as the gap between GK110 and Hawaii which was several months. Not that it's of any consequence, it seems from what we're hearing it competes as well as one can expect.
Thanks for that, I'm in the same boat, my 780 is still strong at 1080p but the upgrade itch and the GSYNC/freesync thing is gripping me.
I'll wait out for more benchmarks and tests.

cant wait for this new card!!
980Ti released 1st June
Fury X releases 24th June
So less than a month. Titan X was released in mid March and was marginalised by 980Ti a few months later. AMD are hardly late to the party with high end. I didn't count 980 as that much better than 290X AIB custom cooled cards to be honest, especially at 1440p or 4K. Though AMD should have had revised 290X cards released months ago rather than waiting for the joke (IMHO) rebrand 390X cards.

Exactly. Are Nvidia fanboys comparing a brand new architecture with a mature Maxwell architecture? Sounds very similar to how the 970 was compared to a 2 year old 290X. Didn't see many complaining that the 970 was barely faster than the 290X then.
If Fiji is matching the top end Nvidia cards right at the start of its life at a much lower clock speed then it is the better architecture and it will no doubt get faster as they refine the process.

Sorry, what?. Both sides next cards will be on 16ff+ and will be a new arch so how exactly can they refine Fiji before that?

Guys. I've a 780T case, with a Corsair H105 in the roof, the radiator of that occupies 2 120mm fan positions leaving room for a 120mm fan as shown below
Would it be a good or bad idea to put the FuryX radiator and fan to the right of the H105 in the roof so all my rads would be at the top? see below, it's really cool up in that corner just above the DVD Drive.

Refining as in getting better yields. If they can't do that then did Nvidia intentionally release the 980 at lower speeds to milk the buyers before releasing the 980ti? They are on the same process after all..
edit: Maybe AMD have released the FuryX at an intentional lower speed to match the top end Nvidia cards for now and then release a superclocked Fury later on to deliver a killer blow...Interesting.

Whatever the motives, I'm happy to be wrong as it's a great price. Thanks Gibbo and OCUK
Nah their dual Furyx is ths killer blow in a couple of months.
If one furyx can match/slightly beat a 980ti then imagine what two will do with around 80% scaling!
Of course AMD seriously need to fix all their xfire drivers.......................
Reviews will reveal if stock Fury X is faster, or trades blows with stock 980Ti. Remember Custom cooled 980Ti cards are faster than stock. I would assume (maybe wrongly) that AIBs can customise their Fury X cards with custom PCBs, higher stock clocks and even better AOI coolers.
Interesting times ahead for both Nvidia and AMD.
