fury and 4gb limiting?

[Ticonderoga]

Whatever floats peoples boats I suppose but to say it trashes it is a complete over reaction and misinformation

I game at 1440p with my Fury and have no issues with vram, I'm sure the fury pulls away from the 1060 at 1440p too however this thread was about 1080p so the 1060 appears to be the better choice for the op

The GTX 1060 doesn't thrash the fury, not even at 1080p

But believe techpowerup if you will... they also had the GTX 1060 beating the GTX 980 ti in some games while no other reviewsite had similar results.

Never know who to believe anymore, everyone has some weird agenda to lie and cheat to make one product seem better than another, I struggle to understand why

TPU is a decent site for using as one of many, what you need to remember about summary results is that they are based on the 16 games tested and when so many of the games such as World of Warcraft, Rise of the Tombraider, Anno2205 favour the green team fairly heavily it affects the end result. There's also games there that favour the Red team in that list but I think the balance clearly tips towards Nvidia.

The best way to decide on the best card for you is too read lots of reviews and make a list of the games and game franchises you enjoy playing, Then make a decision based on the results for those games from multiple sites at your resolution.

Pretty much what I said in another thread a couple of weeks back. My advice would be to take what people on here say with a massive truck load of salt when seeking GPU advice and do a lot of research before buying

I wouldn't have bought my Fury if I would have gone off the advice in this thread but as an actual user of one I can say that a lot of the stuff posted in this thread RE the Fury is BS, its a great card for the money I'm loving mine not to mention its completely silent and looks awesome too

I made my decision on the 1070 because I wanted something that will be powerful, run cool and quiet and have some future proofing when I upgrade my monitor.

I've had good cards from nvidia and AMD in the past so I don't have a preference in terms of manufacturer.

Yup the 1060 is beaten at 1080p there in 5 out of the 7 games.

I do have one problem with that review though with relevance to the fury vs 1060 discussion and that would be that the fury isn't even in that test, they use a fury X which is two cards above the Fury that were are discussing.

I'm not sure why this has become about the Fury and 1060 but this is a review I think everyone should agree hosts a wide selection of titles favouring both sides and overall I'd say it's pretty clear that the Fury is the faster card.

However if I was buying a card today I would not buy either, If I had too choose from the two I'd get a 1060 today because it's the newer die shrink generation but I'd probably buy an 8gb 480 over a 1060.

My last 3 card purchases have been an EVGA 780 Classified @ £440, A 4gb MSI 290x o/c Gaming @ £360 and lastly a Sapphire Fury o/c Tri-x @ £440.
I'm hoping to put a £500 cap on my next card and I'm waiting for Vega before making a purchase in the hope that they offer something faster than a 1070 and closer to a 1080 within that budget, I may increase it to £600 though if it beats a 1080.
However I'm not willing to pay £500 if it's only a 1070 competitior in DX11 titles and if that's the case or they cost too much I may go with one of the cheaper 1070's, Whatever happens I won't be buying anything with less than 8 gb's of memory from now on.

that graph is relative performance for NOW !

what in one years time ?

i know 4gb is fine at the moment but...

you can get literally double the vram and basically same performance for £50 more. after that one year with more modern games you will probably be on the edge already.

so that extra £50 will probably safe guard you with the peace of mind for probably a extra year. we talking about a £300 card here not £100. so its kind of stupidly priced. especially with the current cards available.

Im pretty much in the same boat Nasha, i am toying with the idea of 2 x 480's to tide me over til Vega, but as i only play WoW right now and with Legion coming in a weeks, and me being happy with WoW's perf, i dont really need to upgrade my 290 Tri-X right now.

I did look at the Pascal TitanX, as i have not owned an Nvidia card for about 12-15yrs now, cant actually remember the last Nvidia card i owned, but i set myself a max limit of £1k for a GPU, i will not pay more than that for a single GPU regardless of its performance, it could teleport me around the world for all i care, i still aint paying 1k for it.

But however i am happy to pay more than 1K for SLI/Xfire performance, so i think im going to wait for Vega and either buy Xfire baby Vega or big Vega price / performance dependant.

Im definitely not buying a 1070 or 1080 in single or SLI though.

To be fair the card mentioned in the techpowerupreview isn't relevant in this thread either since OP is talking about the R9 Fury nitro, not stock fury.

That is Fury X while I assume this topic is the non X Fury. Those results look a bit off as well to me.

EDIT: Oh that has already been mentioned.

I'm not sure why this has become about the Fury and 1060

It only went off on that tangent because Relentless81 was adamant for proof of which card was more powerful, cheaper and had more VRam.

Which card has more vram than a fury for £300 that is more powerful out of interest?

I'll ask again, which card has more vram than a fury for £300 that is more powerful out of interest?

So I provided one site that shows the Fury being beaten by a card with more memory that is available at a cheaper price.

However if I was buying a card today I would not buy either, If I had too choose from the two I'd get a 1060 today because it's the newer die shrink generation but I'd probably buy an 8gb 480 over a 1060.

Totally agree, the new cards from both AMD and NVidia are just better investments across the board, in my opinion. Which I did say earlier.

To be fair the Fury does much better at higher resolutions, but then of course you might run into memory limitations, which is kinda what this entire thread is about.

If buying now I don't see any of the 28nm cards as a good idea, not when you can get fast 14/16nm cards for lots of different segments starting from £100.

Of course which new cards, red or green is another entirely different discussion and certainly not one to have in this thread.

You say that as if there is something wrong with it, I asked, you provided. I dont see an issue

Received my 1070 amp extreme today.

It is huge! Ran a few games and I am very happy with it. It's quiet when gaming unlike my 7970.
