GTX 980 Ti is the best high GPU of this generation.

[desprado]

GTX 980 Ti a beast with and massive OC potential.

Here is the chart where a reference GTX 980 Ti is beating Fury X updated with AMD crimson drivers.

Most of the games are that have been used for this benchmark are non Gameworks games and beating AMD with a massive lead.

Now my result ( GTX 980 Ti Lightning) used same setting as above on 1440p in these benchmarks.

There are some member here who says that Fury X is faster which is wrong . I respect AMD and i love AMD because it is the sole reason and pushed Nvidia to make this beauty. I hope this continue and both companies always live to compete with which each other.

thanks to competition from AMD resulting in a $650 MSRP

Totally agree. Without AMD GTX 980 Ti was all most not possible and with the same price.

Really belongs in the Nvidia sub-section. I'd say you are doing yourself a bit of a disservice with this thread. It doesn't really have a point other than "trying to prove others wrong."

I am just showing the true potential of GTX 980 Ti with my own experience. I just saying the fact GTX 980 Ti is this generation best high end Gpu that is all.

I honestly have never seen anyone on this forum claiming fury x to be faster.

I would say he is trolling, and a really stupid attempt at it.

i will.

in tpu games suite the fury x is faster at 4k

and at 1440p slightly slower.

but what do they know.

they are only professional reviews.

I have, they allways use the same benchmark from Techpowerup as soon as the site took away the games Nvidia had a big lead with.

I think Project cars is one of the best race games I've played in a while and seems very popular,why would a so called "professional" website stop using it? The latest and greatest racing game.

How's that relevant?

Alienbabeltech? Pass. That guy has had it out for AMD for years now.

Not sure this is all that revelatory anyway. Even AMD fans know how much potential the 980Ti has.

Because massive deviations that skew data are bad? Would you not complain if Dirt Rally were added to the suite?

WE will forget this thread in the spring or summer of 2016 the 980i ti killer comes out..

The 980Ti is the fastest single GPU choice. It's not a debate. The 980Ti can OC. It wins. Sure you can make some silly stock/stock comparisons where you find benchmarks where the Fury X wins. But we ALL know the 980Ti is a MONSTSER OCer.

So any debate about the Fury X being a faster card as a single card configuration is a joke.

I'm a little suspect on the results myself, but that's really irrelevant as it doesn't tell me anything new.

The fact they didn't test Fury X CF, but 980Ti SLI, basically makes the only remotely useful part of the review useless. Fury X CF vs 980Ti SLI is the only thing where these cards get interesting in seeing how they perform against each other, and of course FUry X CF isn't tested.

 

[SlowSpyder]

I think the 980Ti is a pretty attractive card. Lots of vram and a great overclocker. Fury is still a great card, but I think the 980Ti is the best at any price for an enthusiast. That being said, I believe an author (maybe the owner?) of Alienbabeltech used to post here and he was very anti-AMD towards the end for some reason. I wouldn't trust their results alone.

How many copies did Project Cars sell on PC to be one of the most popular PC games that needs to be tested....
http://www.nextpowerup.com/news/209...tform-with-63-sales-xbox-one-accounts-for-31/

Available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC platforms, Sony's console accounts for 63% of Project CARS sales. Meanwhile, Xbox One accounts for 31% of sales, whereas PC accounts for 6%. Note that most copies of the PC version of Project CARS were sold digitally.

920 players daily...

Since game popularity is how you believe a game should be reviewed lets gothrough the steam list and list games NOT in this review that have more players than Project Cars current 1700 players (which on AVERAGE is 920. 920! 920 PLAYERS DAILY ON PROJECT CARS).

8. Sid Meier's Civilization V 51,624
11. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim 42,579
23. H1Z1 19,401
28. DayZ 15,147
30. Just Cause 3 13,214 (It's new obviously but still it has more players right now than Project Cars EVER WILL.)
38. Borderlands 2 11,264 (Yes, even the PREVIOUS borderlands is still more popular than Project Cars....)
41. Elite: Dangerous 9,099 (Not tested, but 9k people playing right now and it's a pretty game).
68. Dying Light 4,993 (if you want to test a gameworks game, lets test the one that people are ACTUALLY playing. And not Project Cars which NO ONE is playing).

71. FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn 4,802 (You know people play this game right? It's a pretty big MMO if I'm not mistaken. People like it.. more htan PRoject Cars.... Knowing how an MMO performs on a GPU when you spend years/lifetimes on an MMO is important right?)

It isn't until we get to number:
142 that we hit Project Cars. And this player base is only getting smaller.

Stop using Project Cars playerbase/popularity as a reason to test it. That was media hype drummed up for a game that no one ended up purchasing or playing on PC.
Project Cars deserves to be tested as a game release just like we test other games. One and done. Maybe a follow up review (which I believe should be done for every game) for performance over time. Otherwise, it's way too small of a game on PC to be testing if you haven't tested a far bigger more popular current release if you want to be using game popularity as a reason to test a game.

 

[linkgoron]

I haven't seen anyone say that the Fury X was better than the 980ti, only that at 4k stock/stock they're not that different.

I don't really see the point of this thread, though.

 

[Zanovar]

At UK prices at the time it was the only card for me(was building a rig).i could of sidegraded with a 970/390.not my style though.

 

[Piroko]

I'm going to add insult to injury:
7 months after release, Project Cars has just managed to hit 300k confirmed owners on Steam.
7 days after relese, Dirt Rally has crossed 200k confirmed owners on Steam.
As a comparison, Civilization 5 has just over eight million confirmed owners. Fallout 4 has 2.4 million owners, Sakura clicker has 800k owners.

I would exclude both racing games from averaged results. They are for all intents and purposes commercial flops on the PC platform.

Not sure of the point of this thread. Was there any doubt the 980ti wasnt the fastest overall single card?

[RussianSensation]

Alienbabeltech? Pass. That guy has had it out for AMD for years now.

Not sure this is all that revelatory anyway. Even AMD fans know how much potential the 980Ti has.

This post nails it. Firstly, ABT GPU reviews post HD6970 era are as good as used toilet paper. Ever since the site's owner ripped HD7970 apart before it even came out, claiming it to be the worst flop in years, it was impossible to take that site seriously. The site's editor basically stuck to that anti-AMD theme even after 7970 OC wiped the floor with a 580 OC by %s far greater than he ever credited 7970 for. He never acknowledged any benefits of AMD cards such as bit-coin mining and framed many owners with AMD cards on this forum as being part of AMD's marketing focus group. :sneaky:

Just look at his review - AC Syndicate has Fury X @ 14 fps vs. 47.7 fps on a 980Ti @ 1080P.
Here is another fun one!

Far Cry 4 @ 1080P
290X = 28.5 fps
390X = 34.3 fps
970 OC = 40.2 fps (!)

970 is 40%+ faster than 290X in FC4 @ 1080P. Does anyone believe this crap?

In Crysis 3, he has 290X losing to a 970 (!) and 390X OC loses to a 980. Ya OK:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Gigabyte/GTX_980_Ti_Waterforce/11.html

Certain things in that review outside of 980Ti vs. Fury X stand out as being completely illogical because no other professional site shows such discrepancy. Taking 390X OC vs. 980 for example:

FC4 - shows 980 destroying the 390X OC vs. TPU showing 390X easily beating 980.
Thief - again shows 980 beating an overclocked 390X vs. Guru3D that shows a stock 390X beating 980.

As far as claiming that 980Ti OC is the best consumer flagship GPU, outside of Titan X, I don't think anyone on this forum disputed that. Stock vs. stock though, Fury X is very competitive. Fury X gets the type of bashing that you think it's the FX5800U of this era. Fury X CF is actually very competitive with 980Ti SLI but it never gets the credit it deserves. Secondly, in a cramped case or case with poor airflow, Fury X was shown to outperform a reference 980Ti per Linus' testing. Again, Fury X's low noise levels and ability to perform well in all situations is also never credited.

I think Project cars is one of the best race games I've played in a while and seems very popular,why would a so called "professional" website stop using it? The latest and greatest racing game.

If PC was a universally praised game, it wouldn't be getting horrific user reviews complaining about its poor controls, etc.

Dirt Rally = 90% critic / 9.5 User on MetaCritic
Steam = 92%

vs.

Project CARS (PS4) = 83% critic / 6.5 user
Project CARS (XB1) = 81% critic / 5.4 user
Project CARS (PC) = 83% critic / 7.0 user
Steam = 77% user (the game has less # of user reviews than Dirt Rally does and DR just came out!)

Clearly, objectively Project CARS is nowhere close to the "greatest racing game"

Project CARS was a massive flop on the PC at launch too, which suggests most PC gamers didn't view it as a must buy racing game:

"Available for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC platforms, Sony's console accounts for 63% of Project CARS sales. Meanwhile, Xbox One accounts for 31% of sales, whereas PC accounts for 6%. Note that most copies of the PC version of Project CARS were sold digitally."


The reason to exclude PC from benchmarks is simple - benchmarks that look at average graphics card performance should be fair and reasonable. Games that are made specifically for one architecture/brand and blatantly ignored the other brand should be excluded from average benchmarks since the developer is not objective. If the developer didn't bother optimizing the game's engine for one brand because they were part of GameWorks, why the hell should it be included to gauge average GPU performance?

As far as I am concerned, I would never buy a PC game made by a developer that has a history of ignoring AMD products, splatters NV advertising all over the game, only to later release "magical AMD patches" that improve performance out of the blue. :sneaky:

Most of the games are that have been used for this benchmark are non Gameworks games and beating AMD with a massive lead.

Ya, that's because ABT is NV GPU equivalent of AMD Zone for CPUs. Without even doing any research, I bet his site had 680 and 770 easily beating 7970/7970Ghz/R9 280x, am I right? I wouldn't be surprised if he had 580 OC beating 7970 OC in games. That site's credibility for GPU benchmarks = 0. You may just as well create colourful charts with random #s with NV beating AMD and post it up with ABT watermark - it's just as accurate.
