Guess either one of GTX980 or R9 390X will be a good choice.

Flash a custom vbios and cap the clock speed yourself.

Stock clock - FuryX, OC - 980ti.

Both are good, but again, better wait for more reviews on FuryX to be sure.

Can't wait for them reviews on the FuryX to come in. So far the 390X is looking very positive!

With 290/290X, overclocking memory doesn't boost performance much. It already have huge bandwidth anyway. The core clock will give you boost in performance. I reckon the same thing with Fiji.

FYI, you can get boost in performance in some games that love high speed memory (system RAM), e.g. BF4. So, I would make sure that covered.

Dude thr core clock was oced like 5 percent. But it killed of the previous lead of 30percent 980 had.

Now i am getting pumped looking at the 390X

Any Local reviews, there are so many "reviews" about 390X... some are good, some are bad.
Dunno which 1 to trust.

AMD 2 weak 2 beat intel already haha dang

well i don't want AMD to win all ... it be bad for competition.. don't forget AMD try to monopoly all CPU/GPU - Fail lol x

I got 2-4% FPS increase by changing memory bandwidth from 320GB/s to 384GB/s

Only on games that stress the GPU.

Try looked at the tomshardware review of 390X. They put an oced watercooled 290X too to compare and not much difference between 290X and 390X, and the reference 290X lags behind. Also interesting is they compared it to stock overclocked cards such as MSI GTX 980.

Interesting, although HIS 290x VDDC is identical but power consumption is much lower. Those extra 4GB use so much more power or the 390x chip they got leaked like a baby??


No chance against aftermarket 980 that can boost so much.

Biggest joke of the day right there

oh i meant.. AMD manufacture CPU and GPU enter both market..

It is a reference GTX 980 vs R9 390X OC so what you expect.

It is a cherry pick because most of GTX 980 owners run GTX 980 at 1500MHZ which is 18% faster than reference GTX 980.

I did comment after that.

Maxwell is a overclock beast.
Without vcore setting my MSI GTX 980 hits 1522MHZ and memory clock is 7900MHZ.

Hmm so the review sample probably did 1500Mhz too

They should've clock the 390X at 1200Mhz core & 1600Mhz memory to compare

Plus 390X isn't good in value, 390 is much better, but nobody really reviews it.

And don't forget Fury Nano will be put around the MSRP on GTX 980 now, and it's definitely faster than 290X by around 25%

and i also dont want intel to win all but unfortunately AMD highest chips today priced cheaper than my SSD already adoi
