Not sure how I'd vote, my XFX Nano has the dreaded coil whine problem. Got the latest Crimson drivers but its still a problem, although it occurs only when playing games. Loading screens and menus its silent but once in-game it squeals.

Think I'll give it a few days, see if it wears out.

Because reference GTX 980 Ti's are very underclocked compared to the Fury X.

FuryXGuy is welcome to put an out of the box Fury X up against one of my out of the box GTX 980 Ti's

These cards are very fast out of the box and overclock like beasts on air without voltage control.

Some people would say that the above comparison is unfair but the point is it is an air cooled card up against a water cooled card.

I am a big fan of the Fury X (I do own 4 of them) but I see them for what they are not what I want them to be.

As to gaming I prefer to use a single TitanX due the 12gb frame buffer as even a Kingpin has limitations and is what it is.

Sorry but your wrong. It doesn't matter if the FuryX has a water cooler as standard because even the reference ones have it. And no the 980ti reference is not underclocked. That's just the clocks it comes at as standard.

For sure if you overclock a reference 980 itl pull ahead but the point stands.

NVIDIA probably released the 980ti with such low clocks to leave room for a 980ultra or something, with higher out the box clock speeds.

When the Fury X can beat the GTX 980 Ti on the benching and gaming threads we run we can say it is the faster card. Until that happens the GTX 980 Ti is the faster card by a noticeable margin.

Overclock a 980 Ti and a Fury X, the AMD card gets beat by a healthy margin at any resolution.

The Fury X is a very good card and excellent bang for buck but it is not as quick as a GTX 980 Ti.

I know people who actually work for AMD who don't make some of the silly claims you do.:eek:

You guys should check out the results linked in this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18718634

A crazy amount of cards tested, including plenty of stock & OC'd Fury X and 980ti numbers.

I am not so sure about some of the numbers in that thread as the TitanX gets a poor showing, in practice a good TitanX will beat a good GTX 980 Ti.

Having said that the difference between the GTX 980 Ti and Fury X is about right and I don't have any problems with the numbers for these cards.:)
 
Some of those overclocked Ti numbers are fantastic tbh! Really shows up the difference, and also how bottlenecked the FuryX is as it's only 20% faster than a 390X in some circumstances!!

Even an overclocked 970 matches it in some too :eek:

nVidia really pulled it out with the Maxwell gen imo, at least in regards to DX11. DX12 may turn things on their head....:cool:

The first Vulkan results peg the Fury X being around 10% faster than a GTX980TI at 1440P:

Vsync on? Or FPS limiter?

Stock Ti though? In that case I think I can live with that considering the superior DX11 performance :)

Actually its kind of a big deal - Nvidia has historically had better OpenGL performance and Vulkan succeeds it. Its also a bit worrying down the rest of the range where things are more evened out between the two vendors with regards to performance,ie,under £450. It will be interesting to see how my GTX960 and the GTX970 compare to the R9 380 and the R9 390.

Wow I didn't expect the results to be 50/50 (strawpoll) :O

Isn't the drama over now? Never expected there to be this much resentment

I think you should have added "Turnip" as a third option to ensure it's a fair test. That's how it's done on LTT :p

Maybe you should re-read the post again. Where did I say an overclocked 980 Ti won't beat a Fury X. Oh yeah I didn't. I showed benchmark of a regular 980 Ti vs a regular Fury X where it shows it's matching the performance of a 980 Ti at 1440P and beating it at 4K.

When you overclock both a Fury X and a 980 Ti to their max stable clockspeeds the NVidia card wins easy.

Another thing to remember is the reference 980 Ti is not a regular and typical card. Far more non reference 980 ti's are sold so they are more representative of the card.

I would also like to know what your connection is with AMD and maybe the forum moderators should look into this as well.

Probably the first time i've ever read anyone say anything favourable about a TitanX in comparison to a 980Ti....
I've not a seen any benchmark where a good titan X beats a 980 Ti consistently in the majority of tests.
