You know, there is no prize when late to the party!....They wont get market share reacting like sheep!
I'm failing to see how your post addresses what I said?
Anyone too concerned with GM200 running 20°C hotter and 10db louder than Fury? It used to be important when nVidia dominated those parameters. Not so much any more.

Amd does have the fastest gpu. Purely in terms of raw power. It's significantly ahead in overall tflops unless Maxwell can also use something like aces. The problem Will be getting that power out
I don't see anyone too concerned with GM200 running 20°C hotter and 10db louder than Fury. It ceased being important when Hawaii was launched. We can go back to those launch threads if you like.
It is a concern. I don't really care that it's hotter or it's a bit louder. Although, +10db means it's 10x more intense but the stock reference cooler isn't really that loud at stock settings. The problem is the heat throttling the GTX980TI. That directly affects performance. of course, you can just crank up the fan speed; but at that point, it becomes way too loud. It really is just a matter of the reference cooler holding back a MASSIVE amount of performance of the GM200 cards.
Fortunately, there are AIB with better cooling solution. Those AIB cooling solutions really allowed GM200 to really spread its wing. Make no mistake, GM200 is much better than Fiji. But don't try to pretend the reference cooler isn't holding it back.
Dont know. Tonga is old enough to have matured - what is missing is hbm. Its new land.Let's say drivers need to be optimized further to reveal fury x's true performance. Realistically, how much performance gain could we expect from the fury x through driver optimization and dx12?
If gflops/tflops was a sole indicator of performance. Then Intel IGPs would perform quite differently.
And no, AMD doesnt have the fastest GPU. Thats GM200.
actually, no. Fury X is the fastest if you consider all its capabilities. If you look at gameworks games and a few others only, then currently 980ti wins. All things considered though, Fury X is worlds faster than those two.
With the way things are going (PC becoming more like consoles) and how console teraflops are much closer to actual performance, I think that will eventually mean fastest in everything.
No...
The train has departed and Fury X didnt deliver the hype. Time to move on.

For DirectX 11 and lower than 4K resolution, I think better options are Titan X and GTX 980 Ti. As for 4K and compute the choice is not so obvious. However. I think when DX12, and the rest of low-level APIs will arrive we will see quite a change in advantage of AMD.
And we cannot forget the maturing Drivers, which also will improve the performance of the GPUs.
Tell me why Dying Light is justified as being popular that a lot of people play it:

Witcher 3, yes no problem its an awesome game with lots of players and indeed deserving of "GOTY". But why run it with HairWorks enabled? Heck, did [H] even realize AMD users can force tessellation to 16x and get the SAME image quality but at significant performance improvements?
If any FPS needs to be included in tests, its still ARMA 3. That game is very popular for years and still crushes GPUs.
Keep telling yourself that. It is still the all round fastest GPU ever made. Once that dual Fury reaches we're going to have another 295x2 type situation. That card still is at the top.
Titan X is not a better option, are you kidding? $1000 for a few percent more performance???
No its not. Especially when you consider all around.
Why not? Its neck to neck in many gaming benchmarks but defecates on the maxwell cards in compute. All around fastest.
AMD doesn't seem very good at the marketing end of the business.
Until there's custom Fury that does 25% OC, then its moot. GM200 and currently custom 980Ti is KING.
Pointless to argue since AMD clearly failed to deliver especially with lack of vcore mod to abuse the water cooler.
Fury X isn't a bad card, but it should be priced in the $500-600 range because it's an inferior to the GTX 980 Ti for gaming. At 1080p, Fury X's minimum framerates are similar to a GTX 980, not the GTX 980 Ti.
Some might argue compute/DP but that's a non-issue for most gamers. The DP premium to gamers is worth $0. Serious DP users are going to want to go FirePro and Tesla. The OG Titan tried to blend the two markets but apparently it didn't work out because NV backtracked with the latest Titan. There's no reason to believe Fury X is going to get huge sales just because of DP, either.
