niptefWell, I won't. I got my R9 Fyry X four months ago, and I'm very happy with it so far. Unless there is a sale - I won't go for an upgrade within next 12 months, so, basically speaking, I will buy new model when it get's discounted. And even then, it's not 100% Nvidia. Who knows, maybe AMD will offer enthusiast level GPU in Polaris lineup later this month, and I won't have to wait another year for Radeon Vega.

AntonyFaragOh, nice to know they've reacted to Nvidia announcement. They will counter GTX versions in October with Vega10, and, I guess, will keep working on Vega11 to counter GTX Ti at 2017. For me it still means I will wait till 2017, for 1080Ti or Vega11, I don't see it necessary to purchase 3 top GPUs within less than 18 month timeframe.

FokkerFaceI think it is more so that they decided not to push back vega 10. this guy was already predicting it based on amds own chart of the road map.

AntonyFaragThose are all rumors and FYI the 980ti outperforms a Fury X and the 980ti is better in DX12.

HowAmIyou are gravely mistaken the only benchmarks where 980ti is winning are the day one before driver updates or gimpworks titles. if you look at the reviews of one month afters furyX matches or in some cases beats 980ti. ashes of the singularity is a DX12 title that the furyX takes down the 980Ti like it was a fisher price toy. (hyperbole) there is evidence popping up already that there still isn't true async compute on a hardware level for the 1080 and this hurt the 980Ti in DX 12 bench marks to a lesser or greater extent depending on the developers usage.

AntonyFaragLOL You truly have no idea what you're talking about. Go on OCN an look at the fact that the Fury X is a piece of shit. The 980ti wins in every category.

HowAmIyou are obviously an nvidia shill or a fanboy. ocn and hardops are 2 debunked testing sites that heavily favor nvidia.

Somebody is butthurt because they're a retard and they don't know that Nvidia is the best GPU maker there is

HowAmII was upgrading my PC for Oculus Rift 3 months ago. I wanted best *everything* for reasonable money. At the time I had Nvidia GTX 770 OC, and I was pretty happy with it, I din't see any reason not to stick with Nvidia, especially that I have Nvidia 3D Vision kit with compatible 3D monitor (and it only works with NVidia GPUs), and I have Nvidia Shield, which also only works with Nvidia GPU for game streaming. Obviously I was considering those factors as a reasons to stick with Nvidia product.
I've spent couple weeks comparing test results, reading reviews, comparing prices, etc. I did my homework. My conclusion was - Fury X has more hardware performance available over 980Ti for gaming at up to 4K resolutions.
GTX 980Ti:
Pixel Fillrate - 96 GP/s
Texture Fillrate - 176 GT/s
Single precision Processing Power - 5632 GFLOPS
Double precision Processing Power - 176 GFLOPS
Memory Bandwidth - 336 GB/s (Still popular GDDR5 memory)
VRAM - 6GB
R9 Fury X: Pixel Fillrate - 67.2 GP/s Texture Fillrate - 268.8 GT/s Single precision Processing Power - 8601.6 GFLOPS Double precision Processing Power - 537.6 GFLOPS Memory Bandwidth - 512 GB/s (hello HBM, memory type used for both AMD and Nvidia top line GPUs in 2016/2017) VRAM - 4GB
980Ti is better than Fury X in Pixel Fillrate, and has 2GB more VRAM (6GB vs 4GB) , but is worse than Fury X in everything else. I've researched what it means for games. First of all, it means that 980Ti will have memory advantage over Fury X at 4K resolutions in <b>some</b> games: http://www.tweaktown.com/tweakipedia/89/much-vram-need-1080p-1440p-4k/index.html
What about pixel Fillrate? This one was more complicated to research, but my overall impression is that both 980Ti and Fury X have more than adequate figures for resolutions of even over 4K, and for texture-rich graphics Texture Fillrate is more important.
In result, I came to conclusion that Fury X has more raw performance than 980Ti has, and with adequate driver it will outperform 980Ti. On top of that - I don't think DX11 will stick around for much longer, most current gaming titles are developed implementing DX12 API, and GTX 980Ti doesn't fully support DX12 on hardware level, thus will have to depend on a driver and will stress CPU more than R9 Fury X.
On top of that - Fury X was 20% cheaper in my local stores than GTX 980Ti, and R9 Fury X has stock watercooling, that helps reducing noise on high GPU loads (while gaming) a lot.
Both GPUs are great, but most evidence I've found support that Fury X is a better choice.

FokkerFaceFury X is no where near what you think but nicer try. Ahh [moderated] fanboys thinking AMD is better in every category when they're not. Also the 980ti has the raw performance not the Fury X, 980ti has 100% DX12 Support and the 980ti performs better in every single DX12 title. I also find it funny that you think AMD has "adequate" drives when they're drivers suck and you can't overclock a locked card. All in all 980ti > Fury X is every category. [moderated]

HowAmIWhen you say "every single" you really mean every single?
Who is a fanboy now?
Nvidia is better on some titles, AMD is better on other titles.

HowAmIYou're throwing around fan boy crap it's like watching an Xbox-Playstation fight you are not making a good argument calling people names and being rude, the other guys are calmly showing results and information they have a great argument and I'd agree with them, I have neither cards but from what fokker and anthony have shown with great effort you're making hard to take you seriously.

HowAmIyou are obviously a retard. a card on a brand new die size with much higher frequencies should be destroying the point is that the hype and expectations go well beyond the reality of what is actually happening. If you have a 980Ti overclock it would be much better then spending your money on this. Secondly this is still a paper launch the founders edition is simply a fancy version of a paper launch to just try and say they beat amd out of the gate but there will be plenty of problems. Jayz was also wined and dined so his objectivity is a little questionable at this point 20% is not the numbers that should be happening they should be much higher. He also used Rise of the tomb raider for DX12 bench marking a severely broken game in DX12 that even the developers stated that it was poorly implemented and they have no time frame as of yet on when they will have it fixed. there are some more flaws here that will come to light later on just wait and see.

AntonyFaragHere we see a retard still thinking AMD is good when all they're facts are just paper and the fact that a 980ti destroys your garbage "Fury X" 980ti has 100℅ DX12and will always beat your shitty fanboy company. Bye

FokkerFaceLook man the Graphics Driver's Support and customer support is Horrid. But, It doesn't matter they don't have a dedicated team like Nvidia. They need one. When they do, then they compete. Let's be honest AMD needs to step up. Anyways GTX 1080< GTX 980TI though. More bang for your buck. Compare the Stats it's not worth upgrading or even buying a 1080. 980TI is a more solid buy and has already been tested and perfected.

HowAmIJust gonna say this, either side may be better. Both are top in their fields but remember nividia is primarily w you producer amd is not they have pre built systems and any other things this is just an example. Your playing fallout and you buff up just one skill and there's another player who did that skill too but did others with it so its not as high, which has the skill higher, the guy who dedicated all his points to the one skill. I don't want to start a heated argument on md over some people who don't know what their talking about and are like nazi Germany's pop beleaving everything their told by the ones they aline themselves with ignoring any and all outside input. Down to it, there is no reason to be calling someone a retard if they think one card is better then the other, even so massdrop used to be a civilized place of someone wants to spend their money on a card that is worse then the on you're arguing about then let them waste it. This was long huh XD
