man im stumped now, do I wait for a pre order fury x or go for this weeks only 980 Ti

Firestar_3x · 24 Jun 2015 at 13:49

Think my money is going on a 980Ti. Feel like AMD promised me the world, but instead delivered me Wales.

@ Buck890 - Wait a few weeks till the prices settle and to see if AMD decide that we are allowed to unlock voltage.

The 980ti price will stay at £509.

There are ways of buying a Fury X. 2 will be on eBay tomorrow. I know that for sure

Ehh what an anti climax..

Glad I've got a G1 980ti now.

I don't understand how with everyone making HBM such a huge deal that it fails to deliver in benchmarks.

Unless with new drivers and potential overclocking makes the Fury leap ahead of the 980ti

Might be possible

In which case, they should have been released WITH said drivers and over clocking enabled.

Loss right there.

I dont see why people are sayings its worse than the 980TI, from what i can see the performance is much the same.

BUT you get DX stuff thats 980TI doesnt have, You get a 3" shorter PCB, You get a Watercooled card.

All these are a Bonus and things i would rather have... Saves me £100 on an EK waterblock for a 980TI.

You think that person (not saying who

) will make a loss

not everyone wants AIO it's more to go wrong with the card too. Whilst the fury looks good it's not for everyone.

What results have you been looking at?

980Ti is ahead by avg and min fps quite a bit in 1080p and 1440p from what i can see, it's only close at 4k.

I disagree with more can go wrong.. Having a GPU with moving fans they is more chance them fans failing than a closed loop.

Shame I don't game on my PC much these days otherwise I woulda been all over one of these!

Always preferred the quality of the gfx of AMD cards compared to the ever so slight performance gain of nvidia ones.

It's a shame though - I expected a bit more though as its a next gen card. Maybe I'm getting too old and being used to 50-100% performance gains from older gfx cards has me spoilt lol. The performance jumps just ain't there anymore

It'll improve over time with newer drivers etc, and we've yet to see what DX12 will hold compared to nvidia - but as others here have pointed out, by that time we'll be on to another gen of cards.

EDIT: Back to my PS4 lol

closed loop pumps are more likely in my experience to fail than a fan on a gpu.

regardless it still has to be housed and some people just don't like them.

What, wait. Your closed loop has no moving parts?

Are you trying to convince yourself or the rest of us?

With a 3" shorter PCB, he must be desperate.

Mario · 24 Jun 2015 at 14:20

what are disappointment..was looking for RL benchies and cant even properly touch 980Ti..
will keep 970 till next round of GPU's
what worries me is what happens when Nvidia put HBM 2.0 (or whatever will be called) on they next card?
those who got 980Ti made absolutely right decision
seems my 500 moneys i put for this card gonna be keepers

Probably just his opinion. We all have one.
