Fury X Vs Titan X - Performance compared

D.P. said:
The mantle difference is largely due to API though. Also afaik mantle doesn't officially support FuryX because AMD has stopped Mantle development and specificaly requested reviewers not to use mantle, or at least warned that it may not work well.

I agree though that AMD does have poor driver overhead, the draw call results back that up. However, I don't see that as a sign that they will get a load of performance in the future that wont appear on other GCN cards, you findings support that.

But the Difference due to API is removing the excessive overhead of amd's driver. Then the FX is showing nearer its true performance regardless of its mantle driver being less optimised.

Now if nvidias drivers are capable of running the game with low enough overhead to not impede performance. And the driver is not being impacted by the number of draw calls in the game etc. Then the titan x should be running closer to its theoretical.

So before asynchronus shaders come into the equation. Both cards are near equal in terms of performance. Maybe the FX edging ahead. But we would need a DX12 benchmark for a real comparison.

And with future drivers in DX11, GCN can certainly get better performance. Things became far smoother with the leaked drivers and lower overhead.

But there are also Asynchronous shaders to come, which could increase performance further. Even on 7000 series GCN parts.


At the end of the Day, things are only going to improve in a dramatic way for the FX and should improve a bit for the Maxwell-2 parts etc.

I would happily put a 980Ti through its paces if someone wants to send me one for testing, the same as I would any card :)

Don't think it would be that much different from a tx? Unless perhaps one of the non ref models might go higher. Some of them hit some crazy high stock boost speeds.

From what I am seeing, the Ti is pretty much running as well as a TX. In some case, even faster. I want one to test badly :D
 
Did some calculating based on my bench results and here is the results :)



Hitman Absolution has the Titan X showing at 13% faster
Tomb Raider has the Titan X showing at 24% faster
Thief has the Fury X showing as 1% faster
Grid Autosport has the Titan X showing at 53% faster (ran it twice to make sure and all correct)
Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor has the Titan X at 5% faster
Alien Isolation has the Titan X at 3% faster

Some big differences in some and negligible in others.
 
I know the Fury is a lot better at 4k but I bet theres still an awful lot of people buying one to play 1080p. I hope they did a bit of research first

If they did then they probably wouldn't buy the Fury X.


Unless they researched the noise of the Titan X.
It's very loud. I mean it's VERY loud!

Pretty silent with the EVGA cooler but that's another £100 or so on top of the price (and rare as rocking horse ****) which pretty much makes it double the price.

If I was buying now then I'd probably run two Fury X's instead of my single Titan X

I have a TX and unless you overclock it its not loud at all. I was merely remarking that a joe bloggs who wanted a top end card for 1080p would be disappointed that it performs worse at lower resolutions. A lot of people dont spend weeks looking at benchmarks,they just look at whats the top end and buy it

It will work better once the new WHQL drivers hit that were made using the windows 10 code branch. Far lower driver overhead with them.

The overhead is hindering the FX at lower resolutions. just look at gregs Thief video and compare it to review sites who used thief but in DX11 mode. Gregs has the FX beating his 1.3ghz TX. Yet on review sites the FX is trailing by a good 20+ fps in a lot of cases.

I wish there were more benchmarks with some different games, seems everyone's benchmarking the same thing it's kinda boring.

i agree so much
how amd & nvidia compare on trending steam games is far more helpful to me
and it should be about helping the consumer

i can totally understand greg not wanting to spend lots on weird games he dont enjoy tho
but that doesnt excuse review sites for sucking huge butts

no one cares how well tombraider is running...

/rant <3
 
I did ask if anybody wants a game shown, if I have it i will do it. So long as it is reasonably intensive and not silly frame returns, I would enjoy doing some random games.

So after playing with lots of different recording software, DXtory is the way forward. Great quality with very minimal performance hit and lets me play at 1440P and record at 10080P and records AB overlay.

All vids from now on will be recorded with DXtory for both AMD and Nvidia to keep it fair.

Can you please post your DXtory settings please.

To be fair its fine at 1080p, will run anything maxed out, when its a case of 80FPS vs 100FPS who is going to notice.............
 
Some other intensive games are :

Farcry4
AC:Unity
Witcher 2 (Uber mode)
Dragon Age : Inquisition
Watchdogs

and has anyone tested Crysis 1 in 4K yet?
