I think you should begin to test newer/ better known titles,. Tomb raider ,thief ,bioshock infinite are old games not suited for today's needed processing power. Titles better suited and demanding are Far cry 4 ,Assassins creed unity + other titles I can't recall right now.

We balance old and new titles. BTW you do not mention we use GTA-V, The Witcher III, Battlefield Hardline, Alien Isolation and Middle Earth Shadow Mordor.
Also the titles you propose are from Ubisoft, I always have issues with their DRM stuff and launchers. Last time I tried I could not even login anymore. So Ubi titles are a no-go.

Anybody who wants to go AMD should stick with this rather than the Fury X. Form factor, price/performance ratio etc. are way better.
It's kind of a weird release though, as Hilbert pointed out, it's like AMD is purposely trying to sabotage itself with this behavior.

I'm ordering 2 of this cards for my main rig. 😀

If I was deciding between this and a 980, I'd choose the Fury. Seems like AMD is on the right track with this technology. With a die shrink and double the memory the Fury line will be able to go head and head with Nvidia.

Why would a customer save 100$ over a 980ti for this hardware?
~450$ should be the right price.

I wonder what we'll see in the future, as by going by previous ATi/AMD product names, a "Fury XT" which could feature upgraded ROP count for example. I can totally see it happening.
I've said it before that these releases seem just like stop-gap measures and going by past releases from ATI and AMD, we've often seen cards released by them that perform lower than expected and then a few months later launch absoloutly fantastic cards and we can date this back to for example the ye olde 9000 series and each successive series, although the 2000 series kinda saw that trend get swapped around, where they released the upgraded chip as a new generation (the 3000 series).
Regardless of the speculation though, these cards do show promise and longevity too.

Looks like we have a 1440p king if the prices are @GTX980 level. Good for AMD!

Great review , and a good read , AMD I think has found a good spot with this card and i wish them luck .
I just wish ,,and would of loved to have seen 8gb hbm card and the impact that would have at 2560x1440 and higher resolutions if any 🙂
Its just that 4gb of vram that niggles me .
Im now waiting to see what the UK prices are going to be .

This card would of been great if it was released around the time of the gm204 launch. Timing is off.
