Soooo.... ~24 hours left

[2is]

I'm excited! :biggrin:

()()()

Kidding aside, I hope Fury gives 980Ti a run for it's money and I'm glad to see AMD came out with an early driver for Batman. Hopefully this trend continues moving forward.

 

[digitaldurandal]

I was hoping we would see some leaks by now. Usually a site will mess up or a somewhat shady site will release some graphs early.

They must have only sent out a few select samples of Fury.

Tight lid

But let's see how the Fury X does on that game in 4K...I just wish there would be benchmarks for the Nano already since that's the one I want.



Wrong subforum for Nvidia talk.

All aside...I'm really surprised how well Batman runs on my shabby GTX 960...actually better than the GTX 770 even with the additional Vram.

The Kepler architecture has not aged particularly well.

 

[therealnickdanger]

Indications are that the new Batman game is yet another terrible port capped at 30fps (can be bypassed via INI). Glad to hear it works well on your 960 - what settings are you playing with?

I activated/maxed everything except for Interactive Fog because that one setting kills everything..and personally I hate the look. I already hated the fog in AC Black Flag..it actually made it impossible to see ANYTHING....AND made the fps horrible.


The benchmark would run at 31-50 fps..ingame not so sure, people say it was 30 fps locked...didn't check with an fps counter...so Im not so sure now..usually I don't have a peasant eye..but I had some tearing without vsync on...so I figured it would be above 30 fps locked.

It would run surprisingly well..except for driving in the batmobile where I would get occasional stutters because of the Vram obviously being exceeded...but during normal gameplay the 2GB actually held up. (During normal gameplay like 1800 on average and while driving it would stop at 2023 or so).


I also already finished the game (main story)..hella short...good that I got it for free. Now I'm just waiting for the R9 Nano for this ITX PC and then get a 3440x1440 Panel...might bother playing it again, then. XD

So reviews come out on the 24th? But when/where on that date as its already the 24th in New Zealand.

Run for it's money? I hope it curb stomps it, I'm not really optimistic though just due to the fact we didn't see a bunch of performance leaks after the 980ti debut just to give the early jumpers pause. Makes me think they are neck and neck at best. I remember the 9700 Pro being a shocker though with no real forewarning, so I hold out hope.

I think 24th is release date in NA and EU. For Australia and NZ its 25th. So that review sites down under dot start posting reviews early(due to time zone difference) AMD is really serious about NDA this time around..

Priced at $100 less even if fury matches the performance I would call it a win. Though I am not in favor of any card stomping any other card but will be really glad that "the game is ON, mrs.Hudson"(lol sorry!)

If nvidia drops the price then who will benefit the most? The customers!!

Christmas all around!!!

I suspect the Fury X to equal or exceed, slightly, the GTX980 TI and the Titan X at stock. Quite an achievement if possible from AMD. The 300 series releases closes the gap with the GTX980 and GTX970. I say closes the gap because the 200 series ran hotter and trailed behind. Obviously the 200/300 series is NOT in the same league as the GTX980TI/Titan X.

The GTX970, even with the 3.5+.5 memory debacle, really hurt AMD sales. Ironically, the 300 series should stem the disparity if you compare the cards BUT will it?

For AMD, if the media focus remains on the Fury line, and especially the effect of the HBM type memory perhaps AMD can slow down or stop the growing gap in gpu market share.

On the high end, media attention since the beginning of the year has been Titan X and now the GTX980TI and deservedly so. Let's see how the next week plays out.

P.S. "stompin on" is silly when comparing the FuryX to the GTX980TI/Titan X. If I was to use a car analogy (sorry at 64 and remembering the muscle car era) this will be a showdown of the Big Blocks.

 

[tviceman]

I am confident my prediction that Fury X will equal Titan X, thus being 3-5% faster than 980 TI at reference / stock speeds. But when overclocking comes into play, 980 TI will pass up Fury X and also Fury X power consumption will skyrocket with OCing. Fury will definitely win on the noise level front, which I think is an important factor. I'll also maintain that this battle for single GPU cards is at 1440p. Dual GPU setups can take 4k comparisons into account, but it's been shown time and again that there is currently too much compromise needed at graphical settings to drive 4k and modern games at smooth 60+ FPS.

 

[sandorski]

Fastest card at Stock. Probably fastest with OC as well. I doubt it will be more than 10%, but that could happen.

 

[thehotsung8701A]

When will the review be up?

Tomorrow is the official NDA lift. There will probably be some leaks tonight.

 

[Silverforce11]

Depends on whether the OC software can increase vcore or not, ie, whether they require update to support Fiji vcore OC first.

Cos CC OC is meh, like most Radeons, 10% is tops without vcore.

But certainly stock v stock battle, if Fury X beats Titan X, it's the first time AMD has the performance crown.

 

[Zanovar]

Damn its going to be an expensive month or two.With these new cards and the new 9 ch av receivers about to drop.Exciting though.

 

[cen1]

Only 19 hours now, according to UTC

 

[hyrule4927]

So, do we know when exactly these cards should be showing up on Newegg?

 

[Stuka87]

typically its at 12:00am EST for new card releases.

I don't think it will matter if vcore is unlocked on Fury X or not, my guess is GM200 wins in all regards when both cards are overclocked but the difference will only be 10% or less while Fury X still has the much more elegant cooling solution than reference 980 Ti / Titan X cards. I think AMD probably will lose at 1440p but tie at 4k against Titan X in single GPU configurations. I think Titan X will definitely have better perf/w, and depending on whether finfet GPU's are coming in mid 2016 or late 2016, I think Nvidia may leverage that headroom by rebadging Maxwell into the GTX 1000 series, with the new 1080 TI boasting a full GM200 core with 100mhz or so higher boost clock than 980 TI / Titan X.

4K should be VERY interesting. Fury X gets the benefit of the extra memory bandwidth, but is capacity-constrained at 4GB. 980Ti has more memory, but slower access to it. It may very a bit from game to game...Fury X wins or matches and may be significantly affected in some very specific titles and/or configurations? (this part is just pure conjecture. Based on nothing, just thinking of possibilities)

 

[Eymar]

Yeah, it's nice to have a choice at very high end. Especially if looking into buying a VRR monitor which swings into AMDs favor due to price and flexibility (I really miss having extra hdmi, dvi ports on G-Sync monitor).

According to the owner of that Sapphire Fury X in the other thread the overclocking is really poor on the Fury X, he couldn't get more than 100MHz out of it stable.

So stock for stock, the Fury X is extremely strong, but add the typical +250MHz to the Boost Clock of a Titan X or 980 Ti and the results flip again, with both Nvidia cards coming out on top (this is at 4k, I haven't seen his results for the 1440p or lower resolutions yet).

Hopefully some modded BIOSes will arrive to unlock more OC potential of the Fury X, that AIO cooler is begging to stretch its legs...

This is incredibly disappointing, if true...that said, I'll wait for proper apples to apples reviews.
