Already?
beating a reference 980ti isn't really relevant as they can all overclock 50% at a minimum
same with the technicality that a 390 beats the reference 970, no shit sherlock, it's an underpowered GPU at stock.
I have a GTX 970 now, but I'm thinking about going 4k with an R9 fury or fury x. Is 4k worth? Is the fury a good card for 4k?
>>51251293
all gpus suck for 4k currently, wait for 14nm gpus or just go 1440p
>>51251292
>50% at a minimum
>>51251283
No matter how good an amd product is, they need to work on marketing.
As a pc shop owner let me tell you, you'd be surprised how many people have never even heard of amd or radeon.
>>51251325
it's not b8, pretty much every gm204 and gm200 chip can reach 1500mhz core clock. with a custom PCB and power saving features disabled it's not unheard of to reach 1600-1700mhz core on a 980ti
>>51251292
GCN overclock > Maxwell overclock
Raising the clock on Maxwell to 1500 MHz doesn't make it 50% faster than 1000 MHz.
>>51251358
It still gives nowhere near 50% performance increase as maxwell doesn't scale very well clock-for-clock. High numbers don't mean shit if you NEED to go that high to get the performance.
>>51251293
>4k
>single card
good luck m8
>>51251392
good thing i never said 50% performance increase, i said 50% overclock.
regardless, this guy got a 20% performance gain at 4k with only a 200mhz overclock. most 980tis can do far more than this.

>>51251292
That's because maxwell isn't really that much more efficient than keppler. They just reduced the power target to advertise muh efficiency.
AMD could do that too, if they wanted.

>>51251438
>>51251410
I'm talking about in terms of scaling.
Overclocking any GCN card will give more performance per MHz than any Maxwell card will.
>>51251432
i am actually using the VRAM bud, modding skyrim. smell my 8192x8192 uncompressed normalmaps fgt.
Fury had major gains in energy efficiency, but we all knew drivers were severely lacking. Performance wasn't reflecting the added hardware over the R9 290X.
It certainly took them long enough to start sorting the drivers out.
>>51251450
Shh, you'll confuse the nvidiots.

Hai huyz we med a new gpUUUUU just faw uuuuuuuu
>>51251488
>>51251292
You honestly think clock speed is a universal factor that makes 1 card fast than another? An overclocked 970 vs a stock 970, then yes clocks matter.
gtx 970 @ 1400mhz vs an r9 390 @ 1000mhz they'd go toe to toe.
Just because a 970 can reach 1700mhz doesn't mean it would beat an r9 390 @ 1250mhz.
This is like comparing an i5 @ 3.5ghz and an FX processor @ 4.8ghz. The i5 would still win in most cases.
and
>50% overclock at minimum
lol no. Maybe if you buy the crazy overclocking models. What you're saying is a Gtx 980 ti classified @ 1200mhz for example can EASILY overclock to 1800mhz on the air cooler it comes with? Dunno what you're smoking.
>>51251512
>>51251533
>maxwell isn't really that much more efficient than keppler
>>51251405
I'm running a single 290 and im having no issues at 4k, just turn things down to high settings without AA and you're good
>>51250094
finally the GTX 680 vs 7970Ghz all over again D:
>>51251538
>gtx 970 @ 1400mhz vs an r9 390 @ 1000mhz they'd go toe to toe.
lol no, the 970 beats the 390 at 1000mhz out of the box (that's the 290's clock).
with a 970 at 1400mhz it actually beats both the reference 980 and 390x in performance
>>51251538
>i5 750
>vs
>fx 8350 @ 4.8ghz
:')
>>51251432
r9 390 = overclocked r9 290?
no. Just no. It is the same chip yes, but the main appeal of 390 > 290 is 8gb vram vs 4gb vram. Better coolers, and better stock fan curves now too. Most 390s have good VRM cooling, and the fans shut off at idle.
Most 290s with the exception of stuff from sapphire and powercolor had horrendous VRM cooling.

The 290 is clocked to 947mhz at reference.

>>51251590

i never implied or thought the 980 or 390x can't be OCed, just that the 970 can OC to their level of performance.
>>51251580
>hand picking old i5
We both knew I was talking about more recent intel chips. Why anyone would compare a 1st gen i5 to FX is beyond me.
I've owned various FX chips and had all of them overclocked 5.0+ghz on water. The hassle, heat output and stress on the motherboard was just enough to make it about equal with single thread performance of an i5 4690k @ stock.
Some of you should have a look at this.
http://www.techspot.com/news/61741-amd-radeon-r9-fury-records-mouthwatering-oc-performance.html
It was overclocked by 45%, yet posted a Firestrike Extreme score 61% better than stock.
GCN was made to last, guys, Maxwell overclocking's got fucking nothing on this.
>>51251619
And at 1440p and 4k and heavily overclocked 390x can rival a reference 980ti.
>>51251598
>>51251613
But we talk about KEPPLER, not your 290/390 housefire...
>>51251533

you baiting? nvidia has been better value since maxwell released. you can get a 3.5 meme card for $240 and OC it to the performance of a 980, definitely the best value one can get right now.

>>51251775
are you retarded? every frostbite game is AMD sponsored and uses mantle automatically on AMD GPUs. that's why they get competitive performance in bf3/bf4/battlefront.
NIce, will be buying amd anyway though, if they can launch a card with hdmi 2.0 and display port 1.3 and full hevc 10bit support next year I would be happy.
>>51251754
Oh trust me I know all about that. Have had FX shit since faildozer fist launched. Bought the fx-4100. Overclocked to 4.8ghz out of necessity.
Then bought cheap fx-6300. Had it overclocked to 4.9ghz forever. Gave it and motherboard to friend to replace his garbage PC
Got fx-9370 and sabertooth board after that. Had the 9370 @ 5.2ghz under custom water for its entire life. One of the VRMs on the motherboard finally gave up.
Ended up buying i5 and Asus z97 board because it was cheaper and easier than buying another top notch AMD board only to make my room +20F hotter than the rest of the house for the same performance as stock i5. I am impatiently waiting for Zen to launch. Really want to get back to AMD cpu.
>Dem bluray encoding times though man. Fx-9370 used to churn through a 55gb blu-ray rip in minutes.
>>51250094
Who /furyx/ here?
>>51251793
>>51251777
only way a fury x will hold value is if arctic islands has rebrands or isn't a new architecture
last time amd moved from an old architecture (6000 series -> 7000 series) they completely abandoned optimizing for it and didn't give any vulkan/dx12/mantle support to it despite mantle being released only ~14 months after the 6970 came out
>>51251679
There will probably be a solid performance uplift over this one in their next beta release too. Volcanic Islands/3rd gen GCN will be getting a lot of love over the coming months.
>>51251802
>are you retarded? every frostbite game is AMD sponsored and uses mantle automatically on AMD GPUs
No - you have to enable mantle through the options menu. frostbyte merely supports mantle but does not enable it by default.
>>51251825
Wish I was. Was very turned off by the lack of air cooler. Why couldn't they launch an air cooled Fury X? I hate CLC shit. I know they have a non X fury from sapphire, but I want the full Fury X core. I wouldn't care if the cooler was 3 slots.
Cool. Now tell me where I can find physx, game stream, shadow play, Mfaa, and standard refresh rate overclock in the new drivers.

>>51251858
AMD was saving their shekels for Arctic Islands.
They literally couldn't afford to make more than one new chip this time around but they're betting it doesn't matter since this is the end of the line for 28nm.
>>51251858
fury was a decent gpu, the blunder AMD made was that they paper launched it and there still isn't good availability for them
you literally have to pay $1000 for a fury x because there aren't enough to go around, meanwhile evga sells 980tis for $600 on b-stock

Alright a question for real enthusiasts and not people who like buying potential house fires:
Shall I get a 980 for 150 cheaper than a 980 ti or shall I just splash the cash on the 980 ti. I hear the ti variant is much, much more powerful than the 980 so the price difference could be justified.
This will be my first ever gpu btw.
>>51252463
980ti is a different chip with massively better performance and better overclockability compared to the 980. it is the best GPU you can buy right now
>>51252436
There are 5 generations of GCN outlined.
Volcanic Islands is the 3rd.
Their upcoming FinFET parts are still GCN.
The successor after that is still GCN.
>>51252463
>real enthusiasts
>I've heard a 980ti is better but I'm not sure
Holy shit, please be bait
>>51252463
980 is only 10% faster than a 970.
Two 970s equal to a 980 ti.
Hope that puts things into perspective.
anyone know what game settings use CPU or GPU at what level.
Like on Arma 3 increasing graphics on weak CPU actually increased fps, by giving calculation from CPU to GPU

>>51252498
>best you can buy

>>51252512

>>51252436
They most certainly will NOT.
GCN is clearly still has hidden potential given all a little overclocking can do can match old GPUs that competed with Kepler to Nvidia's newest redone Architecture that's way better than Kepler itself.
Dumping glorious GCN now would be one of the stupidest moves they could pull right now given their investment into it. They can only further refine it given the funds available.

Yes, the 390 is the better buy at $320 even with the retarded multi monitor consumption, but you can get the meme cards for $270 if you look hard enough. I managed to get one for that price plus R6 Siege, effectively getting the card for a sweet $240 after selling the game.
No brand loyalty at all, I hate how Nvidia operates, but this was simply a superior buy. On another spectrum, reference 290s were at $200 new a few days ago, those would be incredible buys as well.

There is nothing about a reference hawaii that makes it hotter inherently. Same heat output.

exactly, which causes the die to retain more heat and fail faster
i had both a reference 4870 and reference 6970 (they consume less power than a 290) and they still needed ear-killing fan speeds just to keep them cool under light loads like watching videos
AMD's coolers are a fucking joke
>>51252978
I know about that too. Fiji holds up since the static clock suffices, but Maxwell goes full retard like chips before Fiji with MORE MHZ.
>>51253001
Reference one isn't that bad though. Just set it to 60-65% fan speed in game and you're good to go.
At $200 it's a steal, especially since its got a full 4gb useable vram.

So that's why they are so happy.
>>51252436
>they will be, AMD did the same shit with the switch from 40nm to 28nm. terascale gpus got shafted horribly.
Terascale started at 80nm and went till 40nm. GCN is only at its first node shrink.
And we had absolutely 0 indication that they would want to change to a new arch.
>>51253165
As an amd user, I'm happy with the drivers I get.
They haven't burnt my house down, Killed my gpu, Killed my laptop, or caused my graphics card to explode.
Instead of those, I get a 10% performance increase :')
>>51253116
They updated not that long ago with OpenGL 4.1 support finally landing. Next update will be next month and could bring 4.2 or even 4.3 support, but will likely just be speed increases.
Still waiting on kernel updates for re-clocking support for GCN 1.2.

That only counts WHQL releases which AMD doesn't bother with except for large releases. I'm happy because my card that I bought in 2013 has gained new life instead of being gimped like Nvidia drivers.

nvidia has no reason to give your rebrandeon gpu physx or cuda support, faggot
>>51253267
It does though, on high settings there's a higher load on the gpu.
It's like how at 4k the cpu doesn't make much difference because it's mostly gpu bound at that res.

Nvidia is a closed up tighter than your asshole. Amd gave them tressfx and offered to give them mantle.

>>51253270
>Stealing pictures from /b/
>>51253338
amd didn't give anyone tressfx, it's closed just like gameworks. amd released a library that makes developing with it easier to the general public and called it 'open' as a result. it's really only used for degrading the performance of nvidia's gpus, just look at games like tomb raider and thief. they had terrible perf for nvidia at launch.

>>51253522
Showing you that cpu doesn't matter at 4k.
>>51250094
Somehow this driver made my DirectX 12 CPU performance worse.
>>51253522
The g3258 kept crashing.
Even if you overclock to 4.5ghz it will stutter.
>>51252999
4chan has always been counter-culture/hipster.
>>51251754
Utilizing more threads has helped greatly. I've done stupid stuff just because I had no worries about killing my cpu. Also, still using stock cooler because no reason to change until it dies.
8350
Never had a problem, especially since installing win10, which is more optimized for moar threads. Have not oc'ed and have dedicated 4 cores to a vm, and both systems run fine.
Have not worked enough with desktop Intels to make a remark, though for the average to heavyish user you don't really need more.
>>51253589
If I can pick up a used fx6300 or 8320 cheap, would you recommend it?
Dx12 has already been picked up by most AAA devs, so it should be alright?
Or should I just spend a little more and get an i3 4170?
>>51253392
>>51253392
That's a good goy. Stay hidden in your delusion that you're not funding what is essentially microsoft back during their monopolistic days.
>>51253646
The 8320 is definitly better then the i3 4170
>>51251283
>amd processors are better than intel
And people still say /g/ doesn't have paid shills
>>51253692
i have an 8320 overclocked to 4.2ghz and can safely say you're full of shit, even overclocked further than this (i can get 4.8ghz, just can't stand the extra heat) the performance is absolute shit for gay men
15.7.11 stable version
>>51253712
latest beta.
GPU score is the same, but CPU score is lower.
>>51253706
Whatever you say champ.
>>51251833
That was a different story. The transition from VLIW to GCN is absolutely huge in architecture terms. To retrofit everything they'd need to develop everything twice (Mantle would be the most troublesome, since it would become two different APIs and AMD would hav eto go around asking developers to implement both).
That was not the case with the 5000 series after the 6000 series was released, or the 4000 series when the 5000 was released (except for DX11 support, of course; I had a 4850 back then).
Nvidia's more conservative about this, their last architecture change that was this drastic was between the 7000 series to 8000 series, then on a much lower scale between Tesla to Fermi due to DX11 support. They ususally only refine the same paradigm they already had (and do a great job at that, I'm not saying this is bad). Even Maxwell was just a variation of the same architecture, only with a different proportion for each components to favor gaming over computing. And they'll probably go back to Kepler-like architectures with Pascal because they need a compute GPU as well, and Maxwell design is shit for computing (their Quadro/Tesla cards are still Kepler).
>>51251474
Have fun with your 15 fps senpai
>>51253731
That's exactly why I was considering it. Parallel processing is finally becoming a thing and fx processors will soon be had for cheap on the used market.
Coming from a q8300, i think it'll be a nice upgrade.
>>51252007
>NVIDIA locked in the limited supply of HBM2
How can you be this much retarded?
>>51250094
its it a good time to go AMD?
Im gonna pick up a R9 390X
And this Ultra wide 1440p 75hz monitor that uses freesync
Even though I went with a 980ti literally two days ago, I'm glad this is happening. We need competition, monopoly is bad for the consumer.
>>51253790
These chips do pretty well these days.
>>51252399
>Amd will be abandoning GCN next year
0/10
AMD made the effort to switch from VLIW and invest on GCN not only because GCN is much more flexible with computing, but also in order to have one architecture spam multiple generations in the next years. We haven't even gotten GCN 2.0 yet, everything so far has been minor variations of the first design.
Meanwhile, Nvidia already abandoned Kepler in favor of Maxwell, and will do the same next year when Pascal is released.
I don't even know why I typed all this, since you're an obvious troll and already know all this.
>>51252463
So a question for people that don't buy nvidia products?
Like fermi, shield or the non housfire blunder 3.5?
>>51253832
I'm in the same boat. I've got that monitor waiting for pickup next week. The downside is that I don't know whether I should wait for Arctic Islands or just pull the trigger now, since my current GPU doesn't support FreeSync.
>>51253906
