GTX 980 Ti is so much ahead the rest that it's almost unreal... Fury performs really badly even when compared to 3x0 cards.

Just another example of why I ditched SLI. No matter what game there are always problems at launch, and it never works correctly until drivers are released after the fact, and sometimes not even then.
To me, its no longer worth the effort over a single card.
As a recent SLi > single card convert, I agree 100%
While I can't say I'll never do SLi again, I will always favor single card over multi GPUs from here on..
As for the benchmark, I'm astounded by how much stronger a TI is over a Fury and the rest of the AMD lineup @ WQHD.. I mean, that's a huge gap in framerate..
It's the tessellation. AMD still has very low tessellation performance compared to NVidia..

At 2560x1440 the VRAM usage is below 4GB and all those cards have at least 4 GB of VRAM. I mean there is no difference in VRAM between 290 and 290x only the last one is more powerful, or should be.
Seems to be a VRAM limit.

Hm weird. I think he might have just updated those graphs. I might be going crazy though
Idk, there has to be some kind of bottleneck occurring. If it's not VRAM and it's not tessellation it has to be draw call limit or something.

Honestly time wise these reviews are getting more and more crazy. I just flicked the higher (Very High) image quality mode and moved onwards from there.
But sure, I'll certainly have a look at it.
Yeah, sorry, I bet it's a pain -- but honestly the game benchmark reviews are probably the things I reference the most here on Guru3D. I rarely go and relook at old card launches, but I often go back and reference the game comparisons. And Guru3D is almost always on top of Google searches when I'm looking.
I'm just curious to see how much the tessellation impacts the performance here. It doesn't have to be anything extensive, just one test, any res, on a Fury X.
This game mess up AMD really bad. On 2560x1440 290 beats 290x and 390x is above Fury and Nano.
