Now knowing the performance of Fury X, what would you choose?

[xkm1948]

Let's see what would people choose if you are to buy a high end graphic card now.

 

[Steve-007UK]

Fury X just because im sick of reading all the bs about it and thats all i have to say about it

 

[FordGT90Concept]

Nano but only after seeing how it compares to 390X.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Well it obviously depends on peoples budget, but if I was in the market for a high-end card then clearly the 980 Ti, especially in it's countless custom forms is a no brainer... 50% more VRAM, great efficiency, great OC potential [even better under water], HDMI2, more flexible connectivity, DX12_1... blah blah blah.

As it stands I'm loving my 970, bless it

 

[Batou1986]

I'm buying nothing AMD, this is bulldozer all over again

 

[zsolt_93]

970, as i dont seem to need the more power the others can offer for the extra price. If they would come cheaper then my decision would be another, but the Fury release wont change nVidia pricing down, maybe up if Fury cannot keep up with the demand.

 

[Batou1986]

I might be interested in the nano but only if it was replacing the 390x price point which i'm sure it wont.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I am voting for whatever @xfia says

This is a tech forum. If you even consider OC'ing, it's either a 980 or a 980ti (based on budget choices). If it's a smaller budget I'd go 780ti or 290X. Smaller still? 280X.

If you want the fastest single card, balls to walls - I have no idea why you'd choose a Fury X over a 980ti.

 

[Steevo]

A second 7970 under water, I mean a 280X, ooops, I mean a 270X.....

Did not vote.


I'd buy a second hand, non-coin farming 290, 290x, or an immensely discounted 7970 GHz. I'd pocket the rest of the money, and invest it toward whichever company can offer better bang for the buck when Pascal goes head-to-head with Arctic Islands. Once everything else was said and done, I'd have a decent card now, and actually be able to afford a card when the die shrink finally comes.

Added new choice~

Hey, someone who makes sense!

I like you.

Yes good point! Where is xfia and his AMD fanboism now, then? I just can't figure it out.

I was the one that started that little nuclear flame war.

Honestly, I don't regret it. At the same time, a little compassion. Who can honestly say they didn't ever take something too far, and do something stupid? A little compassion for them is in order.




Edit:
Allow me a bit of clarification. After half a dozen posts in half as many days I said that if the posting spam wouldn't stop I'd ask for moderator action. The resultant nuclear burn-out was rather...funny... I feel my actions weren't out of line, but that doesn't mean I take joy in silencing anyone.

On a positive note, it was only a temporary ban to my understanding. Hopefully they'll come back and have learned something. If not, everyone else can look forward to another train wreck.

 

[thesmokingman]

Not buying anything right now, although I need a good card to run my htpc server with 4k tv. Will wait on real hdmi 2.0 adapters with the proper sil chip. I have time to see how things stack up under win10.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Spoiler

he is probably queueing up to buy a 980 ti

 

[newtekie1]

I think still the 970. That $300 price point is still the sweet spot, IMO. You get 70% of the performance of the Fury X/980Ti for 45% of the price.

@Tatty_One thought that he needed a vacation considering how his attitude escalated. Let's not try to start a war again and fuel the fire with bait.

Right now I'm leaning towards a 980 Ti. Fury X is out of the question given the performance and a need to find out where to put that AIO cooler. Needless to say that it has been almost a decade since I've had a green camp GPU so that might be it. We'll see... but I don't think I'll be waiting much longer now that we know how Fury X turned out.

Sure, I'm talking tongue in cheek here. Lads gotta take the pss a little bit when one fucks up, lol.

rofl, love it.

Oh so cruel.

@erocker thought that he needed a vacation considering how his attitude escalated. Let's not try to start a war again and fuel the fire with bait.

Has he been given a vacation? I think that's a little harsh. We're just talking about someone who was overenthusiastic about the wrong product, not a spitefull troll.

No, but changing your tread titles to "ALL TPU USERS ARE TROLLS!" is and it became a very well deserved vacation very quickly. The problem is that he was saying ridiculous things but wasn't learning from anything with respect to what people brought to the discussion. He was also incredibly confrontational when it comes to views that didn't match his own.

Oh, I didn't know he'd done that with the title, no wonder. I saw the comments about the title change, but thought it was about that innocuous one I saw.

I guess being too confrontational doesn't help either.

 

[ensabrenoir]

awe.....now things go back to the norm....... only thing on the horizon now is bored-well........Amd can still have a massive hit with the nano though. gonna try to find an xfire review....


....wait this isn't a bad card at all.... Amd worse enemy is its biggest supporters who over hype a good product to magical levels it can't live up to. So even when they win....they loose. Amd's just consistently a year or so late to the party.

 

[lilhasselhoffer]

So, back on subject.

Has anyone tried coin farming with any of these cards? It seems like that little fad burnt itself out, and now AMD and Nvidia have given up on their cards being monsters of hash calculation.
