But lately I'm just so pissed at Nvidia that I won't even consider buying anything from the until they show some respect against their customers.
>>54777901

>90 is about 20% faster than 970 in any case except witcher 3
No it isn't, you've been looking at too many cherrypicked benchmarks buddy, time to come back to reality
In Norway EVGA is the only one with a 1080 card based on the 599 price point.
>>54782831
No buddy, it's you looking at benchmarks from when the 390 was released and not optimized.
>>54782851
eeuh, no
Those are Anandtech's most recent benchmarks.
Any other memes you got left?
Or any other claims you want to make you can't back up?

>>54782932
I literally picked the first benchmarks I found.
But because they don't prove your ridiculous claim that the 390 is 20% faster than the 970 they are 'cherrypicked'.
I've yet to see you provide any evidence for your dumb ass claims while I have already shown you 6 games where your bullshit claim doesn't hold.

My point was that a 390 is not competing with the 980 right now, and since you didn't post a single benchmark that even includes the 390 you really haven't disproven shit, have you?
And in that bench you just posted the 390x is still a lot closer to the 980 than to the 980 TI. Come on man, it's basic arithmetic

Except it does. You can crossfire fury x and blow away your 1080. Btw your nvidia card only supports 2 way sli where as amd supports 4 way crossfire and it still scales 70-100%

>>54783134
Okay.
>>54783148
I said card, not CARDS you retard.
So amd literally has to pair up two of their top cards to get even close to Nvidia's top card, sounds pretty pathetic.
Oh, not even mentioning the fact that you cannot get two fury x's for the price of a single 1080 and that a single GPU setup is ALWAYS preferred over cf and sli becase of higher latencies, scaling issues and it simply not working in a whole bunch of games

Kek you are stupid as fuck. Let me help you with math. You'd need to pair 2 290s to overyake the 1080 in 4k and 2 380x to do that in 4k. You don't need 2 fury x
>>54783201
>You don't need 2 fury x
So what you're saying is a single Fury X is faster than the 1080, since you don't need 2 to "overtake" the 1080 and you can hardly get one and a half of it
Because if that's what you're saying you're lying
Like, I fucking KNOW you know that you're spouting bullshit. Why would you tell lies when you know that everybody reading this knows you're lying or can look it up themselves in a matter of seconds?

>>54783228
Maybe read your post again? You are literally saying that a Fury X is faster in 4k than a 1080 (since you don't need two of them to "overtake", as you put it, the 1080 in 4k, a single Fury X has to at least match the performance of the 1080 for your statement to be true)
>>54783244
FUK OFF ALREAY!
>>54783244
DELETE NOW.
Unless AMD puts out something cheaper and as good as a 1070 and way better and the same price as a 1080, they are finished.
>>54783244
>pay 100$ more to have the same performance but not having to wait a few years to get all the performance out of my card and not having problems with every second major game release and having to wait for fixes and new drivers everytime
Sounds like an OK deal. Then again, I'm not a poor NEET.
Like, you do realize, that for people who work, spending a 100$ more and saving you a few hours of hassle is absolutely worth it, right?
>>54782864
That pic just shows there's no reason to upgrade from a 780 or 380x unless you're running a 120-144hz monitor or going for high resolutions.
It also shows that even a 670 is relevant and might not be worth upgrading.

I was referring to all the babies going "YOU NEED TO COMPARE IT TO THE PERFORMANCE NOOOOOOOW BECAUSE DRIVERS", obviously
>>54783316
I don't get it. Do you even think about why people might prefer nVidia to AMD? Like, if I was a complete newbie, obviously I would prefer AMD, because their Performance per $ ratio is usually better than nVidias. Still, a lot of people prefer nVidia. You never ask yourself why that might be? Maybe come to the realization that, just because you never had any problems with your AMD card doesn't mean nobody had and the "meme" doesn't come from nothing?
I had an ATI card back in the day (when they were still called ATI) and it was pure horror. And back then, every shill in this thread always went "ATI DRIVERS AREN'T SHIT"
Like, right up until AMD admitted that the drivers were shit, but they fixed it, when suddenly everybody went "ok, their drivers were shit but they're good now"
And in a few years you people will go "they fixed it" all over again
Have fun, I'll be over here actually playing games and not waiting for new drivers with tears in my eyes while trying to make fun of people who haven't made the same shitty decisions as me

AMD isn't going anywhere newfriend, it's just a meme pushed really hard by poorfags. They're going to release Zen and come back to the CPU market too.
>>54783316
I'm changing from AMD to Nvidia specifically because their drivers on Linux is complete shit.
>>54782806
dual polaris will rek 1080 in dx11 and absolutely destroy it in dx12 and Vulkan while being cheaper and cooler.
>>54782461
>>54782160
hahahahaHAHAHAHAHA
>>54783452
>dual polaris will rek 1080
probably not.
also enjoy your micro stuttering.
and furthermore dual 1080 will 'rek' everything, which is the important thing.
with TDP of 85 Watt AMD simply needs to release R9 495X with two 490chips for like 500$ and BANG! Nvidia implodes.
>>54783294
In my experience nvidia cards eat up more of my limited time because they have more frequent driver updates. It seemed like every other time I'd boot my computer it'd want to download some nvidia update.
While I've owned both over the years I tend to go AMD more because they rely less on driver optimization and more on raw processing power (although they seem to be updating software more often these days)
Sometimes I think I'm the only person who prefers to update drives once every six months. Hell it seems like people are willing to replace cards that often sometimes. I normally get 3 years out of a card (maybe longer if my 270x is still good enough for 1080p 60hz after this next set of cards come out)
Should I wait for polaris or get the 390?
>>54783441
>tfw using foss drivers on my r9 390
>tfw no issues
I NEED TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD BECAUSE YOU USE PRODUCTS FROM A COMPANY THAT'S COMPETING WITH THE COMPANY I LIKE! YOU ARE WRONG, I AM RIGHT! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>54783477
Consider the purpose.
What are you going to need?
comfortable VR? 60FPS in 4k or 200fps in 1080p?
AMD generally pulls ahead in greater resolution due to higher memory bandwidth and absolutely dominates dx12 and Vulkan thanks to asynch computing and more cores.
1080 may be the best card for getting 200fps in 1080p but if you are going to rock 4k then RADEON PRO DUO or the next fury is your choise.
VR shouldn't be one hell of an isue on both sides thanks to new hardware features.
>>54783547
Sounds pretty insane for Microsoft to do that.
Do you think AMD could bribe microsoft like that?
>>54783569
You've got to be pretty deluded to think anything in that picture is actually true.
>>54783526
Wait for Polaris my nigga. Its worth it.
>>54783589
my point.
You could argue that Vulkan was AMD biased, but Microsoft DX? Why?
>>54783527
Thats what i'm doing for half a year now, because i got sick of AMD's shit.

Even in vulkan it would be bullshit, it is FOSS and everyone can use it. Nvidia was a big contributor, just like amd.
>>54783617
doesn't Steam OS department work on all that crap?
They are supposed to be working on making it viable.
>>54783547
That's what fanbois actually think... AMD and Nvidia ones.
>>54783617
since about linux 4.2 amd started supporting the open drivers and amdgpu, this is why they are so good. Their documentation is also way better. I bought amd specifically so i could use foss drivers that are good. i am on linux 4.5.4 so it really is quite good. i am glad the proprietary drivers are not their main focus anymore. Now the only thing missing would be making firmware-amd-graphics FOSS.
by the way is it likely that a 1080 or an AMD equivalent could play demanding games at 4K Ultra settings, 30fps?
>>54783635
steamOS does not do as much upstream as you think, but they do a lot of lobbying.
>>54782718
In what part am I wrong? I was talking about the guys who don't have the money or who don't want to spend too much. If Polaris offers a considerable upgrade over the 970 then nvidia has only 1070 and 1080 to counter. If I remember right 1070 was $379 but I think that it will cost more like the 1080 does at the moment. Polaris will be < $350 for sure. I digged up 3dmark11 performance benchmarks for the 970, the best 970 scored 17300 with i7 6700k. Some early benchmarks show that the 480/480x scores 18 000+. A €220 480x 8gb beating a €340 gtx 970 3,5gb in every category (tdp, noise, performance) is for sure a great upgrade for anybody who has a current gen <$300 gpu. And when 490/490x comes out then it will even compete with the 1070.
