Yup, we have a game where the $330 390 is beating a $500 980 and Shintai and Good_fella are shitposting on AMD. Are the standards of Nvidia fanboys that low now? Do we need the 390 to beat the 980 Ti?
This. A conservatively clocked 390 (1010MHz, Hawaii is good for 1100-1150MHz) is wrecking the 980 (mind you, NOT the full Hawaii in the 390x, cut down Hawaii!) and getting dangerously close to a
1380MHz 980Ti. Not a reference 980Ti, an OC'd one, and by a good amount.
Do we need to remind some people that the 390 is the 970's competition, the 390x is the 980's and the Fury/X are the 980Ti's? I seriously can't understand the logic behind these two posts. AMD is destroying nV's offerings in price/performance in almost all these new games, the 980Ti is nV's only relevant card in production. Between AMD's driver work in DX11 games and these new games, their perf/w is jumping by leaps and bounds. GCN just got even more competitive!
I wonder how Fiji would do in this game and the others considering its weird bottlenecks.
Hawaii is seriously the next Tahiti, G80 and R300/50/60. It's insane. Pascal had better get things straight for nV as far as longevity is concerned, Kepler cracked after time, Maxwell is starting to crack, both under the same competition. It's quite mind boggling.
