Where's Fury? And lol at the 290X getting close to the top...

 

[gamervivek]

Can't say I'm surprised.

This is happening to more and more games recently. lol at people who bought $600 980ti cards, getting same performance as a 3 year old $200 card.

They got a quote about it.

Ввиду зависящих от AMD обстаятельств, видеокарты семейства Fury выпадают из тестов на неопределённое время

 

[ShintaiDK]

Seems it follows the tradition.

Game speed tied to FPS.

 

[poofyhairguy]

Not a very demanding game, a R7 370 doesn't dip below 60fps at 1080p.

The regular 7970 beating a GTX 970 at 1080p is amazing. With these 2016 games you just have to suspend what you knew about where the cards should slot in with each other.

I just might stay on triple 290x for a while longer. Can probably wait till bigass Vega now.

Probably same for me. Polaris 10 doesn't look like a big enough upgrade and I will vote with my wallet and boycott business practices of $550-650 next gen ~300mm2 mid-range chips, marketed as fake flagships. That means 90% chance I am waiting for Vega and Pascal GP100/102 HBM2 cards.

Side-note, outside of the 980Ti, the performance of Kepler and Maxwell in the last 4 months across almost all major AAA games is absolutely terrible, more so once taking into account the price premiums. Feels good being proven right after recommending 7870/7950/7970/280X over the inferior 660Ti/670/680/770; and then later recommending 290 over 780, 290 CF over 780Ti and 290X CF/295X2 over the horrendously overpriced/underperforming 980.

 

[moonbogg]

Hell, at this rate I can sell both 980ti's and get a couple used R9 290's and not be missing anything.

This makes Nvidia look so bad its hilarious. Its a major WTF moment for me. This is like when Intel fell from grace with the P4 and people would have to be completely stupid to not buy an AMD CPU simply because they would wipe the floor with Intel chips despite being clocked slower.

 

[Actaeon]

Not too surprising that a console port is well optimized for GCN.

But it is very funny how Hawaii keeps kicking ass. I have 980 Tis now and I am very happy with them but my previous 290Xs were really great cards. I would have kept them if it wasn't for the fact I wanted to play at 4K.

 

[thilanliyan]

They got a quote about it.

Are they saying the Fury cards didn't work in the game? Google translate isn't very clear.

 

[kondziowy]

Performance in DX12 so far exeeds what I thought was possible with 4-year old GCN.

980Ti continues to perform really well. It's the rest of Maxwell stack that's falling apart while Kepler went on vacation a long time ago. 680 can barely keep up with a 7870/800 MHz 7950 in some games. 780/OG Titan are utter failures.

If I had a 980Ti though, I would be strongly considering selling it 1st week of June just to preserve most of the capital and transfer the resale value into GP104. It's better than seeing $650-700 780Ti plummet to $350-400 almost overnight when 970/980 launched.

 

[xthetenth]

I'm glad I have a 290, it's cheap enough that it isn't going to devalue too far, and it's still killing it.

Seriously though, big maxwell is huge compared to Hawaii, and considerably newer. Hopefully AMD executes that well with Polaris and Vega now that the future GCN's made for is finally happening.

I remember thinking back when the Titan OG launched that the whole reason for the price was to have a card that could carry you through the entire console generation at 1080p. Turns out that card did exist back then, but it was the 7970.

Yeah those that bought into 7970 or 290X should be very happy about their purchase. I personally went with a 290X and while it easily meets any demands I have currently, I will definitely be going with a GCN replacement when the time comes based off the last several years of AMD performance trends.

Seems so. I guess a driver issue.

You correlated price with performance over time? Why?

And the 7950 is the 1080p card of the time I still would use mine but I hate 1080p and the 7950 wasn't adequate enough for vsr in new games.

7970 wasn't worth the price premium same with the 290x.

Ok, you can put your 7950 chip away, we get it.

 

[kawi6rr]

Makes me very happy I got my 290 when I did. I will be looking at the new cards when they come out but only if it makes a difference in what I play. And price/perf is what I look at.

 

[poofyhairguy]

Because a $1000 consumer GPU was a new thing. I was trying to rationalize that high cost, and therefore I assumed that the reason for it being so expensive was that it was going to tower over all GPUs for much longer than any former flagship card ever did.

Turns out I was 100% wrong but you can't blame me for trying to understand why consumer GPUs became so costly at the high-end.

 

[ShintaiDK]

The translation is from a russian:
Fury is out of tests for unknown period due of some reasons on AMD side.

Because Jen-hsun Huang's Ferraris aren't going to pay for themselves.

That's not at all what it says. The Editor states that due to circumstances related to AMD, Fury-based videocards will be removed/absent from future testing for several weeks. The most logical conclusion is that GameGPU received hardware review samples directly from AMD (hence why they had no Fury cards in the charts for months after launch), and now AMD wants to rotate these cards by giving them to another reviewer in Russia. It also explains the lack of i5 6600K, i7 6700K, R9 390, 390X, etc. since these products were never sent to them.
