Someone told him Surround doesn't work as well, and then referenced mixed-resolution and PLP gaming as the reason.
Sounds like this shouldn't matter though, since it looks like he has 3x1080p...
Why is NV Surround so bad? Did I miss something?

Well, 295X2 is actually two video cards on one board.

This is from Nvidia forum, even they don't like it.
I have used both. They're not too different. There are a few quirks with surround. It didnt like to keep my monitor order when turning it off and back on, I would have to reset my resolution as well with the bezel adjustments each time I turned it back on.
They both have issues with some games, it seems to be the same games though.
AMD is showing a running and apparently fully working version of “Fiji” to customers but not to the Press, so Leo asked Ron if he might relent. They both knew the other side of the Sapphire NDA door was the card Leo wanted to see, so Leo asked if he could see the card and take photos.

If Fury is slower than 980Ti which was said 2 days ago, AMD probably want to keep improving drivers and clocks to squeeze out as much performance as possible before announcing the card.
Plus its better to have your own event at E3 where its mostly about games (and Dark Souls 3!!) than announcing it at Computex and sort of drown in all the other cards and stuff being announced.
Who knows.
is this any better than using x-fire, or exactly the same as the connector on top just goes straight to the other GPU?
That is called XDMA and it goes through the PCI-E slot. it's supposed to make XFire less "stuttery".You can put 2 AMD cards in Xfire without a connector.

Yeah wierd that, notice there hasn't been a single maxwell sli fcat review anywhere on the net since the release of 980/970 which showed them to dropping frames like a mother. NOT a single Titan X sli or 980ti sli fcat review anywhere on the web. There's simply no way to know if this has been fixed or not:And apparently it works, since FCAT measurements now favor AMD... and so now very few reviews include them.
Have you used both recently?

Yup, well said.Yeah, kind of in a holding pattern right now. With TX and 980Ti performance so close, if AMD was shooting for TX-level for Fiji, they maybe are trying to position their different Fiji options as favorably as possible. 5% more performance could mean the difference in being able to sell it for $100 or more higher. That's a big deal.

it isn't funny, it is @#$% up :'( I now basically have to go out of my way to find trust worthy review sites. it also makes me question every damn review I have read in the past, damn.:thumbsdown:funny how that works.

does pc gamer do reviews? maybe the reason why amd partner up with them because they were the only unbiased reviewer of the 200 series. gonna google.

I agree its crap. During the years review sites i have frequented have turned into marketing channels. One of the effects is there is no non biased review of eg nv cards anymore. Its more or less nv commercials and this frac assessment its just a sad example of it. Pathetic.
But hey its also my impression this biased review style be it gfx cards or mobile phones is more an american than european problem.
We have good french and especially german review sites. Use them instead. The germans is generally freaking good at testing stuff consistently, detailed and objectively. Learn german or use translate.
yea, someone linked a french website when I was looking to buy a gpu back in 9/2014. it was the only review website that had what I was looking for.I agree its crap.
