But what about that direct AMD and NVIDIA comparisons? Despite what we might have expected going in, the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X actually scaled in CrossFire better than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti. This comes not only in terms of average frame rate increases, but also in lower frame time variances that result in a smoother gaming experience. In several cases the extra scalability demonstrated by the Fury X allowed its dual-GPU performance to surpass a pair of GTX 980 Ti cards even though in a single GPU configuration the GeForce card was the winner. GRID 2 at 4K is one example of this result as is Bioshock Infinite at 4K. And even in a game like Crysis 3 at 4K where we saw NVIDIA's card scale by a fantastic 84%, AMD's Fury X card scaled by 95%!
This is a great step for AMD to prove that its architectures and driver development are on the right track. There are still games where AMD needs to play catch up, like Grand Theft Auto V, but our results here today prove that the company CAN do it. But PC gamers know that timeliness is easily just as important as any other aspect of multi-GPU driver support - getting CrossFire integrated for Batman: Arkham Knight, for example, weeks after release would mean that many hardcore gamers would have already bought and finished the game. The day one experience means a lot and AMD needs to prove it can keep up with the team and money invested in that at NVIDIA.
