Comparable performance to the Ti, about $130 cheaper, and has multiple displayports? I need to make sure this fits my mtx case. Thanks for the thread Pro3ootector.

I dont know WHAT Hexus is smoking there is NO way these number are correct.

Sure would like to give the benefit of the doubt, instead of saying Hexus boosted the numbers to make the product review more appealing.

There is no way this GPU is making 512 GB/s of bandwidth. Especially when all the other R9 Furys are making 256 GB/s. Now look at the pixel fill, 67.2 Gb/s. WHAT, no way. When all the other r9 are making 134.4 Gb/s with out overclocking. Come on.

And if it's that messed up just on the gpuz. You know I get it, there may be some kinda of problem with gpuz. However the reviewer just copy and pasted w/o even looking at the results. The rest of the review can straight in the toilet. As the reviewer not even smart enough to see how erroneous these numbers are. What a joke. They must think we are dumb?

Comparing pre-release GPU-Z images to current ones and calling the most relevant image wrong.

Is this a joke? The Fury is a terrible value, it often gets outpaced by an overclocked 980. Comparing it to 980 Ti is about the most senseless thing I've ever seen done on the internet.



It is 26.6% slower than a non-reference 980 Ti @ 4K. Basically any 980 Ti people buy today is going to be non-reference. After you overclock the 980 Ti it is then 36.5% slower than a 980 Ti:

And kept a few others. Literally, what use is Battlefield 3 when Battlefield 4 has launched except to skew the results? They should adopt the geometric mean if they wish to mediate the results of such widely ranging tests.

Testing methodology is perfectly fine, it is the most used source on this forum. Please stop with this belligerent nonsense.

They frequently update the testing suite with new popular games, Battlefield 4 and 3 are still popular, the reasoning behind keeping them. Almost every single review site still uses Battlefield 4. If you think TechPowerUp is unreliable then, what do you think of Guru3D?

I'm not the one vouching for them. Maybe, you should explain.
