And what cost this temperature (Asus strix) have?

fury isnt performing confidently in 1440p territory, and there are already well established cards for 1080p (390x,980). so its a little hard to tell what this graphics card is good for for the money.

What matrix are you looking at to arrive at that "fury isn't performing confidently in 1440p"?

When looking at the actual game results of W1zzard's data there's like 3 B-M that show (or other similarly priced cards) really start struggling (<40fps) at 1440p; Assassin's Creed, Crysis 3 (both @4xAA), while Dragon Age is right in the 40'ish range. Then considering there's like 8 titles in the mix that aren't any challenge (+80FpS) to card(s) in this price range... I'm not sure if you meant 4K?

Of the 11 games left it would seem Fury is above the 980 in 5 tiles, 4/ties, and 2 titles... Project Cars and Wolfenstein are good wins for the 980, but still plenty playable on a Fury.

So a nice Custom OC 980 for slightly less (7-10% after rebate), than this or this Sapphire Fury for $560, they're staunch performers for 1440p, and a toss-up as to what to get.

maybe im too harsh on the hardware.. im still used to min 75fps from the days of CRT monitors..

Well depends on if using 60Hz or 144Hz, or something... most of these titles are playable on 60Hz with +40 FpS; you get great visual immersion +55 FpS. Most on 100Hz+ will really like to gravitate to the 80+FpS, while the enthusiast like even more, but then your panel is easily as much (or more) than these cards.

I think the 390X is the better purchase for those entering the 2560x1440 (60Hz) arena, priced something like 100 bucks cheaper it might make a little more sense for those willing to roll back some settings and eye candy. Even then for the 9 titles where they're really mixing it up 390X is right in the hunt with the reference 980.

Why is video playback still using 3d clocks? They fixed multi monitor clocks, surely they could have fixed video playback too. Whats the deal with that?

I moved from an MSI TFIV 290x gaming to the Sapphire Fury Tri-X and for me it has made a big difference overall. Like a lot of MSI Gaming and Asus DCUII Hawaii owners my card was a hot one with 94 degrees under load being a regular occurrence, With the most demanding games it required a one for one fan profile to keep temps in the mid to high 80's which made it loud so coming from that to this has been great. I still use the one for one profile and the card idles at 30 odd degrees and rarely goes over 60, Plus I can't hear it over the quiet edition case fans I put in my rig so I'm really happy with the move even though it wasn't cheap.
I use it with a 75hz 1080p monitor but I game at 1440 via vsr and so far every game I've tried runs great.
I've only owned it for about 3 weeks so far but I'm very happy with it. It's a real shame AMD never allowed Sapphire to build a full Fiji version.
