Fury vs 980Ti

How is the Fury performance compared to the 980Ti consider they are in similar price range on OcUK? I will be gaming at 1080p max settings but consider upgrading to 1440p/144Hz in the future.
 
As a fury owner myself it pains me to say the 980ti is a better card but all is not lost, if your thinking about a new monitor then freesync and a fury is pretty decent
 
If you're money conscious AND wanting to get a new monitor that will include g-synch or freesynch then the fury will have easier access to a monitor upgrade with a realistic price but the 980ti is the better card so if you don't care about price or just want the most performance now then that would be best option.
 
at 1080 and 1440p the 980 Ti is further apart from the fury than it is at 4k, now that is at stock and we all know a 980 Ti loves overclock, clock that beast upto 1400mhz and no fury is going to be able to touch a Ti :) go for the Ti!
 
Yeah the 980 Ti is the better card even at stock, and particularly better if you run at 1920x1080 or below.

Add the overclocking capabilities of the 980 Ti into the mix, and it's much better than the Fury.
 
I'm considering not getting new gen card this year and doing a temporary upgrade to a 980ti. Alas, I'm still at 1080p, but perhaps I could get a nice future-proof FreeSync 1440p monitor... but that would be betting on AMD releasing something I can upgrade to from a potential 980ti within a reasonable amount of time.

I mean, OCUK still have that cool £400 MSI mini-bundle with the card so I'm tempted. Or perhaps a FuryX wouldn't be so bad, especially with a FreeSync monitor... just that I'm currently playing at 1080p and don't expect amazing 1440p performance till new cards (even though current Pascal can do it well). The AMD HBM cards aren't as great at 1080p.

980Ti consistently wins over the fury and fury X.

For older games at bench suites may be, but what about new games (and I ain't even talking about dx12)? Pretty sure Nvidia's software team already packed up and left the Maxwell old office and move to their new Pascal headquarter (so to speak) :D

The Fury Nano at £330 seem to strike the good balance in terms of moving forward, considering ongoing driver support and dx12; but if all people want to do us play games before the release of Pascal, then the 980Ti is no-brainer.

Anyone advising a Fury over a 980Ti needs to step away from advising lol

If we were talking about a mere Fury then yes, but Fury Nano is a different card as with the right tinkering it's up there with Fury X.

780Ti used to be faster than the 290 series and 970 even, but what happened to its performance now in games released after it EOL? ;) It struggle to catch up like an old man :p

If it was between just the mere Fury and 980Ti, then of course the 980Ti is still a better choice. But still doesn't change the fact the the performance of the 980Ti will only go down not up as time goes by.

If you are upgrading your monitor in the near future and would consider freesync as it should be cheaper then I would go fury.

Without sync tech I would take the 980ti. But as others have said, end of line nvidia cards suffer more than amd cards as time goes by as they don't get as much optimizations through drivers.
 
980Ti does seem the better card for sure. But as said, bring Sync brand into this and it makes the Fury more appealing, but only on price.
 
If you watercool the card grab a Nano. Is a FuryX and you can get fury speeds easily. Mine does 1120/1100.
If you stay on air Fury P (non X) and overclock it. Most can hit 1200/1100
If is a step gap card grab a RX 480 nitro 4gb at £199 and save for a freesync monitor.

Gsync/freesync is more importand these days than more fps. When the screen is smooth due to it, fps is irrelevant at the end of the day.
 
I'm with Gregster on this one, why are people recommending a fury or fury nano over a 980 Ti if it was my money I'd definitely grab a Ti if you get that bad boy cranked up there AMD hasn't got a card that can touch it

Except in DX12/Vulkan. The other thing that's tempting me back to AMD is the ridiculous premium on G sync.

again though dx12 isn't mainstream yet and wont be for a while I'd presume yes some games are coming with DX12 now and the only things that support Vulkan at the top of my head are DOOM, Ashes and Dota 2 looking at the reviews of DOOM using vulkcan the Fury x gets more additional performance than 980 Ti but to start off with 980 Ti was already winning by quite a bit so the fury X edges the Ti and like I said fury x can't OC for **** the Ti can overclock it and take the lead again :) and then in DX11 games it's a no contest
 
I agree a 980ti is better, but you might want to think about planned obsolescence. Nvidia have a knack of forgetting about their older cards to try and sell their newer cards, whereas AMD are the oposite. They start pretty mediocre and end up pretty well supported. There is a plethora of information out there to support my theory!

So really what is it you want? Do you want a card that is the fastest it can be now or do you want a little bit of future proofing and risk a fury that MIGHT be as fast if not faster later down the road? Added to the fact the AMD cards seem to support async compute a lot better than the Nvidia based cards, then you have more to think about than most would have you believe!
