I was about to do the same post..
Always click the spoilers

(hardware.info did a great job )

Very true but at current price nvidia took the cake with 980ti.
I had high hopes with fury X, I will still wait a month before i upgrade.

So, now when Nvidia has the huge hot GPU with a bit more performance and
AMD has the small, cool refined GPU with a bit less performance....

... the tables have turned an exact 180 degrees.

And yet - people still say they like nvidia better.

I think AMD should step out of the discreete GPU market entirely and you all would get EXACTLY what you deserve.

Yeah but past AMD cards have shown voltage OC is a hit or a miss, usually the latter in my experience.



Just shows this card is running near max clocks out of the box

Doesn't change the fact that it's behind the Ti, yet at the same price point.
Not to mention the frequencies you can get from a Ti. This card can't even touch an overclocked Ti.

That being said, I understand why people are pissed.

No one cares about power consumption when overclocking. You don't care how much gas a car uses if you build it up to drag race. No one that drag races is using a Prius.

Actually many of us do. Higher power consumption = higher TDP, which no overclocker wants unless they have money to throw at the problem until it goes away (liquid cooling, phase-inversion cooling, etc).
And even if they do, many of them will prefer to keep it simple.

Your example with the gas consumption of a car is not quite there. I see your point and it makes sense, but a car will not heat up at the same rate as an electrical component (in this case a GPU). And cars have very efficient cooling since the surface area of the engine is huge and water is involved by standard.

So, now when Nvidia has the huge hot GPU with a bit more performance and
AMD has the small, cool refined GPU with a bit less performance....

... the tables have turned an exact 180 degrees.

And yet - people still say they like nvidia better.

1. Stop spreading so much hate, I've seen you do the exact same thing in other topics.
2. People are pissed off because a watercooler is generally added because you want to overclock the card, yet this card offers piss-poor overclocking capabilities because.
Thus, that watercooler loses most of its sense. Users are right to be pissed off.

In fact until recently I didn't want AMD to fall down to the ground, but now I'm thinking about the possibilities. They can get bought out by someone with more competent management. Because let's face it, it's poor decisions which threw AMD in this situation. APUs mainly. They made the same mistake Intel made with Itanium. They thought the whole industry would adopt their processors.
The APU is a fine idea. Until you attach a piss-poor processor on it.

The way I see it, Zen and HBM + shrink are AMD's last chances. They have been bleeding a lot of marketshare.
I know that a company can function as a medium-range component seller but that's not good for the users. Look at i7 prices. Getting bought out will probably be better for the users.

Oh and.. The Ti is not exactly hot.
