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

[v12dock]

I'm in limbo over this... I'm sure the Fury X will improve with driver releases 6+ months from now, but you can't find any Fury X's to buy and its a gamble.

 

[horik]

Had a GTX970 for a few days and loved it, but had to return it(my PSU sucks, got a new one)
I think it has the right power for 1080p and is in my price range, but still will wait for Nano to be released.
The prices of GTX970 have droped a bit after latest AMD releases.

The two cards in my system, cost me less than one Fury X - and as always, the multi gpu setup crushes the fabled single card solution.
I never could understand how Nvidia and AMD continue to pump out 'flagship' cards at these ludicrous prices and hold a straight face, all the while knowing that two lower spec past generation, cards can topple it with ease. For that money I can fit a stage two turbo BPU kit, including labor on a vechile. And they want me to fork it over, so I can get a 20% increase on games that I already cap at 60 and 96hz/120hz?

And alas, this is yet another generation of cards I will be skipping.

EDIT: Where the fu** am I going to fit that clunky cooler appendage? You can't even clip it onto the PCB(?), does it just hang freely. Besides, I'll build my own LCS thank you very much - whoever built an integrated LCS solution that was actually good? If the name 'Thermaltake' is the first thing in your head, don't bother answering the question.

Because single card will always be problem free. I have yet to see a multi GPU setup that is not riddled with idiotic problems and constant waiting for the dumb game profiles to become available...

This. I just went from 3x 670s to a Titan X, SLI is an absolute fucking pain in the ass to deal with unless you live solely in a single fullscreen game.

Could we stay on topic please rather than publically discussing members who are not actually banned, although it is acknowledged and satisfying that people (surprisingly including me) showed both caution and some compassion in the matter..... move on please, you are not doing him any favours should he wish to return at some point....... thank you.

Well mine is pretty problem free but the game profile part does get me from time to time.

Eh, honestly I am not sure what I would pick. I always go for custom LCS in this day so the cooler does not bother me. However I would probably wait a bit longer to see what happened before I would choose. If I was forced to choose now, it would be hard but probably if I could use the shroud from the R9 Fury X would be a Fury trio. If not probably the GTX 980ti trio. I personally like them both pretty equally but I like the look of the Fury X better while the GTX 980ti to me is nice for its overclocking which appeals to me.

One thing to note is I still like CFX better than SLI on the third and fourth card because of the improved scaling for the ridiculous setups, and I personally like Freesync's price better than Gsync however since there is no CFX Freesync yet I am still waiting.

I never had problems with single GPU. Old game, new game, they all behave the same. But with multi-GPU's you often can onyl run games on one GPU and most of the time you're waiting for profiles for very new games. For me, they work from moment I run them, be it in prototype, alpha, beta or final release stage.

 

[v12dock]

I said F-k it and bought one off Newegg

 

[MrGenius]

What about the Fury X²? Or whatever they're going to be calling it. You know?

This thing.

No? I guess I'm voting all other cards then.

I can't say I ever actually had problems with SLI profiles and new games, I just ran into regular quirks and nuanced behavior in relation to either HiDPI (4k), or multimonitor more often than not, and being limited to fullscreen exclusively for performance doesn't help.

I do have to say I'm disappointed in both top end offerings being 4/6Gb when there is clear need for more for 4k+ gaming.

I'm eagerly awaiting DX12 rumored vram consolidation capabilities.

 

[broken pixel]

If I was to purchase a new GPU it would be two 980ti's.

Since my two 290x GPUs are still pumping pixels at 100fps vsynced at 2560x1440, I will wait until Nvidia releases another flavor GPU before I upgrade.

 

[Delta6326]

What ever let's me run 3* 4K monitor's...

But honestly 980ti

I've used SLI for every generation since the 7000 series. I've had the following: 7900GTs, 7600GTs, 8800GTs, 9800GTX+s, GTX260s, GTX275s, GTX470s, GTX670s, GTX970s

I can say that in the beginning your statement was accurate. However, right around the middle of the GTX470 generation things took a turn for the better. I've had no what changed, but I've had no real issues since then. I've never had a game where I've said "man it sucks SLI doesn't work with this". Games that need SLI, it works with. There are games that SLI doesn't work with, but every one I've experienced still pump out 100FPS+ with a single card, so I don't really care that SLI isn't working.

Heck, I played GTA:V for weeks before I realized I wasn't using the updated driver that was released for GTA:V. SLI was still working in the game and I was still getting 100FPS.

Oh really, well please let us know how you like it.

Totally agree, I normally just ignore games that don't have CFX profiles mostly because they already work well beyond on a single card. I think besides a few that took a week to get a profile on that needed it I have never had a problem since my twin 9800GX2's

 

[RejZoR]

Well, for a single GPU, it never ever even crossed my mind about any of that. It just works. Always.

 

[NC37]

Boo, no Nano option. Abstaining till Nano comes out.

 

[RejZoR]

The more I'm looking at tests and prices, the more it seems that only logical way for me to go is with R9 Nano or vanilla Fury. If that falls in the water, waiting for Arctic Islands and Pascal is the only option.

 

[Frag_Maniac]

Looks like all that hoopla from Xfia (and others obsessed with Fury elsewhere), was all very premature as many expected.

Can barely hang with the 980 Ti at 4k, gets easily beaten at lower res (so bad for 1080p/1440p high refresh gamers), and to boot has loud pump and coil noise, and no HDMI 2 or DVI.

It runs cool at load and all, but personally, I don't even like the fact that you have to fidget with a rad/fan and hoses. At 50-60c load, it could have easily sufficed with an air cooler and still been fairly compact.

 

[Toothless]

I still want 2xGTX970's because why not. I'm not going to play 4k nor triple 1440p.

 

[btarunr]

Intel Potato II Extreme GTR, but I wouldn't mind exchanging my 2x GTX 970 for a single GTX 980 Ti.

 

[erocker]

@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.

Nope, wasn't me.

To address someone else's comment, it was not harsh, it was appropriate he was banned. Not everything one does to deserve a ban is in public. So I ask kindly you reserve judgment. Also, it's not really appropriate to discuss such matters.

Thanks.

Same here. I seem to be hitting that 3.5gb limit more often than I thought with 1440p.

 

[Rowsol]

2 people picked 390x. I voted 970.

Same here.

My mistake, I think that was Tatty. Someone with a green name did it.
Edit: Fixed it. I think we can stop talking about that subject now. Side note, I'm really wanting a 980 Ti now.
