2% faster haha, you don't play any games do you? Nvidia cards are much faster than AMD since a while now.

- PeCaN 11y agoHardly? Last generation the 290x was easily competitive with the 780 Ti, particularly at higher resolution. This generation the Fury and Fury X aren't quite as good as the 980 Ti (turns out Maxwell is really good) but aren't bad either. I like AMD, but CUDA >>> OpenCL, so for any scientific computing Nvidia is the way to go. For gaming the 970, 980, and 980 Ti are too good this time around. AMD isn't far behind however, and next generation could easily flip things around.
- mahouse 11y agoAMD tessellation performance is a joke compared to nVidia's. And that's only the beginning. Benchmarks are useless for most things because they are always fabricated or don't refer to real world scenarios. For example, Firefox JS engine is always very fast in benchmarks, but in the real world we know how it goes. Same with everything.
- prolepunk 11y agoPerformance is a joke <---> Benchmark are useless. So the only thing that matters is your opinion.
- rfrank 11y agoMaybe if you're in the market for a Titan X or something, but the R9 Fury and 390 are both great cards for their price point. Performance will also be impacted by nvidia software like hairworks and God rays.
- pizza234 11y agoThat's wrong. They have, for the majority of cards, a much higher performance-per-watt ratio, which is a different thing.
- cobaltblue 11y agoPlus a higher performance-per-dollar ratio. If you need the best single-card-performance nVidia is probably still the best for most things (unless you're mining litecoin) but you can always buy 2 AMD cards and use them together for less money and higher performance than the single nVidia.
- herbst 11y agoThats simply wrong. See i dont game. I do casual cryptocoin maning, generating Hashes, cracking hashes, ... AMD is MUCH superior in all these cases. People always assume only Gamer care about recent hardware.
