After seeing the reviews I'm not getting one anymore, It's really not worth it if you have a 980 Ti or Titan X, Waste of money to just play around IMHO.

To each his own, I love playing around with new tech. Like trying things myself.

Windows 10 really likely to make any difference? almost released, someone must have tried it?

Did someone seriously expected Fury to compete against 980Ti on lower resolutions?

Definitely expected it to be a lot closer than it is. Disappointed.

Buying a slower card though? Don't really see the point at all. :confused:

True but going for something that performs less than what you currently have makes no sense to me

Don't see the point in getting something slower just to play around, it's faster though fair enough.

Yeah it's not as if you can overclock it much. I suppose you could play with the GPU led thingy.

Gerard · 24 Jun 2015 at 16:32

Wonder if kaapstad shelled out near £2600 for 4 of these? :eek:

Kaapstad · 24 Jun 2015 at 16:33

Mine have shipped

Thanks OcUK.

It's a lot cheaper for one. Sometimes it punches above the Titan X, and it comes pre water cooled for 50C operation. Maxwell is well established at this point. Performance probably peaked with drivers. In fact latest drivers have actually crippled a lot of setups.

Whereas Fury X is featuring some new tech, drivers are in very early days and voltage hasn't even been unlocked. For me these would be more fun to play with until we get a die shrink and HBM 2.0 etc.

I def wanna have a play with it and see for myself.

Probably go Titan X > Fury X > Pascal Titan. I like to try the latest stuff. Rinse & repeat.

They didn't even include yours in the stock they had! They were automatically put to one side.

I can see your point, I used to be a lot like that

Myself? I think I can wait for Pascal et al :cool:

After reading reviews.

I cannot see any real reason why we would purchase a Fury X over a 980ti, when they are not priced the same, and the 980ti is pulling ahead on benchmarks?

At 4K it competes but then I have been saying for the past couple of years that Monitor manufacturers have equally been taking the **** with their prices. Very few people will have a 4K or multi monitor setups making the 980 or ti a better choice at 1080p/1440p gaming.

Monitor tech is just so far behind compared to TVs, the only real innovation we've had is freesync/gsync but then that's a fruition from GPU manufacturers.

Hopefully next year monitor prices will come down and just in time for Pascal

Indeed, really can't see the point. Don't enthusiasts generally go for the highest performing card of which he has 4? :confused:

His money to spend but just seems like a waste.

Yeah I think Nvidia are creating a monster in a lab somewhere right now.

Pascal is going to be a lil scary I think..

Hopefully AMD release sooner with the next lot of cards VS Pascal.

formby · 24 Jun 2015 at 16:38

Well not being one for making decisions without having hard facts in order to make the right decisions it's looking likely I won't be getting the FuryX.
Unless performance improves over the next two months my AMD carded rig will for the first time in 10+ years will be having a G1.
Never thought I would see the day when both my computers would be green.

Also what a disappointing release no stock and massive gouging.

I wouldn't be selling that TX if I were you!
