You haven't been paying attention, if you have never seen Fury/X being unable to significantly differentiate itself from Hawaii cards in the terms of raw fps.

Well, it doesn't usually significantly differentiate itself -- but I can't think of another game where a Fury X loses to a 980.
Like there is clearly something wrong here. There are benchmarks around with no tessellation and it looks the same. So it's definitely not tessellation. VRAM isn't maxed at QHD/1080p, so it's not that either. The game uses Pure Hair, so it's not like Nvidia completely developed it.
Btw Pure Hair looks f*cking incredible and apparently it has nearly zero performance hit. Looking forward to that in more games.

Wow, this game does not like AMD GPU's too much...
Funny that it's a console port using AMD GPU's.
It does have nvidia slapped on it.
But even just 1 290x handles this game with 60fps @ 2560x1080 on all high settings with true hair.
And sadly still havent seen the 16.1.1 driver released yet.

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.
Most certainly some kind of bottleneck is capping the performance at approximately same level on the all AMD spectrum of cards. The difference between FuryX and 290 is 8 fps.
