Now that all the cards are on the table, what graphics card would you buy?
 
Sapphire Fury X.
 
I'd gladly exchange my 970 SLI for a 980 Ti.
 
voted Fury X mostly with a custom block and probably in CFX(if i had the money for it ... would cost more than a Titan X but ... totally worth it!), but i could also go for a 980Ti depending (if i wanted to upgrade my 290, that is ... ) depending on my retailer stock
 
Well If I had the money... Titan X... just because I "had" the money :D
 
Shouldnt have Titan X there imo. Fury X anyway, probably. If I had to buy any of them. If I was given one of them, I'd get whatever card would get me most money when I sold it and replace it with like a 290 if I could get one for cheap, a laptop and beer.

I would not buy any option :), just no need too. And if i had a lower end card than my 290X i would wait for the nano anyways as i would not want to drop so much money in to 28nm again.

Fury 2 is what i am looking forward too and only if it had more than 4GB of memory on it.
 
I play game at 1440p so I choose custom 980 Ti for strong VRM and overclocking potential (probably 980 Ti HOF).
I think Titan X is suitable for SLI at 4K.
 
970 sli or 980ti sli...
and maybe 3x projectors or few curved 3440x1440 screens :)
 
I'm waiting for the other Fury? Isn't there supposed to be a non-X and a Nano coming? I am currently selling my apartment so I hope to make a tidy profit so that means new PC gear. The "regular" Fury if there is one is kinda what I think I'm after.
 
but only the somewhat noisy reference design for you in that case

Persons who usually buying this card(except CAD people, who use them for work) tend to put their system on water... and they don't care for the cooler actually. Khem... I can even bet that there are some peps even here who did that.

That's the lunatic keyword... if you had the money, then we go all guns blazing...
 
maybe 3x projector

Have you ever tried gaming on a PJ, I have one... definitely the thing gets louder than everything else in the room... three of them? Well krhmm... nope... maybe in flight simulator with turboprop engines it gives additional real life immersion. :D

Yes, and good luck with the sale.

I couldn't resist...

Regular Fury? It is actually more commonly known under the name - WIFE. :D
 
Next! :D

Yeah...none of the above also. There's not a good enough reason for me to...... 7950 runs GTA V well enough.


On a side note if I was to buy it would likely be Nvidia. Big thanks to AMD's driver devs and marketing team who helped me make the decision. :p

The last straw tbh was my mate 2 weeks ago bought a VaporX 290, soon as it was installed the black screens started. We fixed it w/ constant voltage in AB. This is how long after the issues at R9 release?

Well you would have Crossfire for the price of one ;).
 
Is clear that the majority of people are gaming enthusiast and they just want to play with the highest framerate at maximum specs.

And that makes me happy because it means that people like to play with the PC.

I thought the Titan X would take more votes...

The 980 Ti is more aimed to the gamers.
 
I went with the 980Ti. I don't see the point in buying two 4GB cards(970s) when you can get a single that performs extremely close with 6GB for basically the same price. I know that sounds odd considering I have two 970s in SLI, but at the time I bought them the 980Ti wasn't an option, and I also don't see the point in selling them just for a side grade in performance, but if I was buying today I would go with the 980Ti.

What's the difference between these two threads?:
Now knowing the performance of Fury X, what would you choose?

Also, none of the above. I'd pocket the money and wait for Pascal/Arctic Islands to wipe away the recent disappointments.

This one is a front page poll that anyone(including non-members) can vote on.
 
I would be in the same boat as lilhasselhoffer. I would wait for Pascal/Arctic Islands just because of a HBM2 and hopefully 14nm gpus. I'm tired of 28nm.
 
The Fury of the X is much more powerful. :D

Thing is what most people miss is that it would not be using maximum power usage most of the time although does depend on the game you are playing long with vsync.
