So I've been comparing 980TI with Rage Fury X - are results similar for other classes

[prtskg]

So I've looked at a lot of comparisons for 980TI versus Fury X, and it seems to me that although Fury X wins some of the time, more often the 980TI wins, and where it especially shines is the MINIMUM frame rate, which it seems to much better at than the Fury X and is probably more important as long as it is at or above playability level.

So if I scale down through the video cards to lower costs levels, does this same type of relationship generally hold true? I would guess so generally, at least as long as the same GPU architectures are involved. I might just go all out for the 980TI, but might downgrade a bit to a card from either company on the theory that I can wait a while for new tech to drop.

Thanks!

980ti is clear champion compared to furyX but the same is not true for all nvidia vs amd cards. furyX is AMD's first attempt at making a huge gpu and hence it's behind. Low cost cards have much better competition and you should choose the card on the basis of your use.
