Voted Hot because it's a great price, but anyone wanting to get a new GPU will be better off waiting a few months if possible. Both Polaris and Pascal cards SHOULD be released in the Summer at the latest imo, my money would be on the beginning of April to coincide with the launches of the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive. Even if you have to wait until the Summer, HBM2 will be worth the wait - more VRAM and MUCH more memory bandwidth compared to a 980Ti.

Literally never listen to advice from Ferrari100. He has the worst speculation accuracy on these forums. Someone looked at around 15 of his previous predictions and he was correct on only 1 or 2 of them.

He is so extremely biased that he will say anything to discredit NVIDIA and bolster AMD.

We are not sure if he's paid or sponsored by AMD, but he's owned every top end AMD since the 7990.

I'm not sure how someone can justify buying a 290x, 390x, Nano, and then a Fury X. Especially considering the Fury X came out before the Nano!

The first link has some great videos on the tech world on gpu's really well researched and very interesting.
The last link is digital foundry very un biased reviews lots of benchmarks, overclocking, how sys ram now effects games as tests show, constant benchmarks, reviews, and summery of performance on recent games.

As a 980ti i can say gameworks features are complete crap for the most part. i play on a 1440/144 and you'd be mental to throw away so many FPS for "enhanced rain". In fact truehair in this game is the only gameworks feature i have ever used as it comes at an acceptable cost.

Some good points here - TR not a great port but a great game - 970 should run at 1080/60 - maybe a patch will fix the VRAM issue - 980ti if that can't handle the same at near £500 then best wait for Pascall cards

Literally nothing in my post that you replied to was discussing Nvidia.

I was talking about 1080p, 60fps and you attack me about being a fanboy and blindly doing things?

I disagree with you because you often post without using sources. Ask yourself this: "Do I have a source for what I'm saying." Then do this. Post that source.

The xbox PS and WiiU all can achieve 1080p 60fps no problem.

The issue is how high you want to crank up the IQ. This isn't about 1080p/60fps, it's about what level of IQ you expect from your games.

You could have a game with insane IQ (Image Quality) running 1080p/60fps that would be too hard for any GPU out there right now.

listen mate if you spend £270 on a gpu you expect 1080p @60fps maxed anything else is going backwards and is a badly optimized game, make all the excuses you like but on a gtx 970 you should not need to turn down settings on a 2015 game just to achieve [email protected] unless it's AA down a step, that's it, and that is the consensus around the forums and youtube, 15 months after the release of a gtx 970 and you can't even get [email protected], give me a break.
As for playing it lol no, what have I been saying? the game looks good sure but NVidia has F**ked it up I'm not buying the game lol what a joke, same as I won't be buying an NVidia gpu, it's stupid there behaviour is there for all to see, you'd need to be blind not to see it.
I won't help fund NVidia's greed or choke hold on gamers by buying there cards or there gimp works games, buy doing so id be helping to destroy gaming on the pc at the cost of filling NVidia's pockets.

Why are people still questioning this geez google is right there take some time and see just what's going on spend the day watching youtube videos on the Facts of what's going on not this oh I have a green card I support mentality, wake up.

Let me put in terms everyone can understand, ok take rise of the tomb raider in all its glory all the code etc. etc. now you give that game to AMD and what happens? well we get the same beautiful game only we can easily play [email protected] maxed out, no worries with room to spare in-fact, coincidence? I think not.
Now add to which it won't just be maxed out on AMD cards but on NVidia cards aswell, you see AMD don't create stuff to cripple other cards, unlike NVidia, AMD only design to make the product better and therefor gaming better for us, while NVidia scheme and plot away telling BS creating crazy code to gimp gpu's on both sides (more so AMD) and also to force NVidia people to buy more gpu's. (nice tactics there NVidia :confused: )

Now if in any doubt look at the last tomb raider that was a perfect port and who was involved oh ye amd, this tomb raider game is f**ked due to NVidia, plain and simple, if your still in doubt do us all a favour and do some research and you'll see, please just look into your self that's all I ask, don't take my word look into it yourself, now that comment in itself should speak volumes right there.

More informed people is a good thing and if people are more aware then they're in a position to help gamers all over, if not were back to consoles for the price vs performance ratio.
£270 every 15/16 months for a new gpu just to max [email protected] is unacceptable.

My god even the talk has it that the ps5 or xboxtwo that are being discussed will not be 1440p clearly but it is rumoured that they will be? yes you guessed 1080p @60fps locked, now I find it hard to believe that even in 2 yrs or 2 1/2 yrs that the new consoles will have the equivalent of a 970/ti/980/380/380x/390, but if what were led to believe is true that's what they'll need I mean we can't get the job done now on rise of the tomb raider on a 970/380 without quality cost.

Not every z170 system, this article explains more >

http://www.zdnet.com/article/heres-microsofts-list-of-skylake-devices-that-will-be-supported-when-running-windows-7/

I have no real issues with build 10586.71 (10586 initial release 15th Nov 2015) which is the current latest Windows 10 consumer build. If you're on build 10240 then you really need to update. I had some one come in with build 11099 yesterday, they must have clicked on the Insider preview program in Windows update, it was a total shambles, but of course it's a beta release of a future version of Windows 10. I would just update to 10586.71 (.75 possibly coming very soon).

Anyone saying they are playing maxed out on a 970 smoothly, will change their minds about an hour in as that is where it gets very system intensive. You won't be maxing out settings then, trust me. People with 980ti are having their cards sweat, so the 970 will have no chance.

As to your previous point, I don't see how you can blame Nvidia, as the AMD equivalents don't perform any better with this game. It is just a demanding title. It does a lot more than the previous game:

Ok well if your getting it pretty much maxed apart from one setting at a stable 60fps then that's gd that's how it should be, but I have to ask are you sure because the forums and youtube are full of gamers complaining the 970 won't do stable 60 fps on or near max.

If your getting it that's great I'd except that all but one setting, but if others can't replicate that then its bad a lot of people bought a 970 now only to find out it won't even play the latest games on full at only 1080p @60fps? that's very hard to take.

Also forgive me if I'm wrong I'm not on win 10 but I was told you cant turn of updates?

Rise of tomb raider runs no problem at 1080p with my 970g. Settings on max apart from one setting and that's on high. The game looks absolutely outstanding on PC. It ran at 4K until the last Windows 10 update. I've disabled them as every update slows my PC down until I sort it out.
revolver31
30 Jan 16 1 #66
Ok this imo but it's badly optimized ok it looks great but if the game can't do 1080p @60fps on or near ultra on a 970 then it's bad, ok if it were 1440p fine but come on 1080p @60fps on a 970 and it's out of the question on ultra that's not a good port.
The game itself is not hugely different from the last in terms of looks etc. so we have to ask were is the performance going? well I'm going with NVidia gimp works.
Now if your telling me that a Maxwell 970 not being that old can't run this game that was built in 2015, and that's well progress really?
well that gpu didn't last long, when the gtx 970 come out? and already on a 2015 built game is can't even max out 1080p @60 fps.

Ye F**k that something is very wrong NVidia may want people to run out and buy another card but I won't be one of them, they gimp there games, they gimp there cards in order to brick amd cards and sell more of there own what a con.
I'm done with NVidia and it's about time people took a good hard look here, its been 15 months since the 970 release (I think), it easily destroys 1080p @60fps, (geez the 960's pretty close) well apart from gameworks games, come on do you really believe that the gpu is just old? is this what were getting out of gpu's now 15months, the 970 was only just coming out when the game was being developed, wow rise of the tomb raider it must really be ahead of it's time.

It's only runs on a 970 without your eyes watering on high. I tired very high with lowered textures and frame rate is not smooth enough. But I agree it looks good on very high!
garryallen
30 Jan 16 #64
This game has a lot more going on graphically than the last game. It is still a decent port, as it allows you to scale the game according to your hardware very efficiently. If you have a Titan X you are going to get the best out of this game, which is as it should be. If games could be 'maxed out' on a 970 forever, it would show that games are not advancing at all. It still runs beautifully on a 970 if you compromise.

I got 295x2 about 18 months ago for 480, still very happy with it and dx12 should breathe new life into 290 series. Otherwise would wait to see what comes in 2016, should be dx12 friendly all round hopefully and fingers crossed some decent competition between the two companies to drive prices down.

Perfect video and it explains it a lot better than the argument i have had with the fan boys on here. They really do gimp there cards and costs more than a handful of ponds in the meter each year in the long run.there really should be no need to upgrade your card each gen or other gen. Use to buy nvidia years ago but they are complete scum bags since they have taken the majority of the market share but then u could say that about ANY of the companies that are doing business. They don't care about us but just want to get fat of our wallets.

Actually buddy that's kinda old now the new driver updates change those results drastically and with further improvement from this yrs polaris drivers and dx12 titles he's kinda right the fury x does beat the 980ti and will continue to pull away, but you could try n see if those newer test results are kicking around and you'll be able to judge for yourself.
It really was a shame amd never released it in a better state because all those test results are hanging around giving wrong info, but this won't stop amd or NVidia from doing the same thing this year, rush it out n fix with drivers later, more so NVidia they're a little behind so there's a little more rush there, but better drivers on release would help with the confusion all around from both sides, that and the removal of gimp works from future games, will help all gamers.
If NVidia spent more time making better tech rather than trying to brick amd cards we'd all be better off, also amd working open source helps further advance tech not attack the competition, after doing a lot of research over the last few weeks I can't support NVidia and there greed along with there lies, it's really crippling gaming for everyone, rise of the tomb raider is a gd example look at the last game now look at this one, not good, yes they hurt there own cards with game works but they do it for many reasons two of which are - 1. it hurts Amd more at the moment. & 2. it forces gamers to Unnecessarily upgrade there nvidia gpus every few years.
so as far as there concerned it's win win, I'll be backing amd this year and for the future, if NVidia keep up what there doing there will be no gamers left to buy there cards.

But they are very rare. It's hardly new either how many times have you seen 'can it play crysis'.
Rise of the tomb raider is also CPU thread heavy.
The downside for the developer is many people won't buy the game on PC (including me until I see some crossfire results) as they won't have the hardware.

yes I think so the 960 wasn't to far off and rumors have at least on the amd side that they can half power consumption so I'd expect a 950/950 ti, maybe even a 960 level on the pcie power and of course on the amd side it should be easier for them to meet these power requirements being on 14nm as apposed to NVidia 16nm, the difference on the surface is small but spread across the chip could yield 5/10 watts saving, my minds eye is looking at the new r9 380 with huge perf bump and hopefully around 90w, so only a single 6 pin, I don't think it will fall to 75w well maybe reference throttled but then after market and overclock I can't see it holding the 75w pcie power regs, would be nice though.
The new gtx 960 or r9 380 cards is where I'm looking this year with those cards we should be into the area of this years 970/390 performance with half the power and heat leaving a better overclock option, gddr5x over gddr5 = more speed perf, all cards will b at least 4gb, true 4gb not 3.5gb fast 0.5 slow, I'd expect to see 6gb gddr5x cards and that will be the goto card, we will see hbm2 but NVidia will certainly keep that for there top 2/3 cards.
Amd with Samsung on there side might have more access to hbm2 and I'd really like to see that on 80% of the amd cards but I doubt it, it is however possible that amd will put hbm2 on the r9 380 and up words and at 8gb vram.

I lol @ anyone who buys a fury X over a 980TI
http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/rise_of_the_tomb_raider_pc_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,7.html

It's rare the fury is faster in any game, most of the time this is the common performance you see between the 2

Damn I just bought a gtx 970 g1 gaming to replace my R9 290 tri-x. Going to bench the 290 on tomb raider before I send it back and compare it to the 970. If Dx12 really does help amd come the summer I'll just get amazon to refund the gtx 970.

Wait. Pascal is a few months away and should bring some significant power:cost benefits.

I know the feeling, my R9 270X 4gb is just about holding in there too.

how is tomb raider coping with a 270 mate?

You might want to do yourself and everyone else a favour, and consider if buying Nvidia cards is not a wise choice:

Video:My analysis of Nvidia's GameWorks program paints a bleak picture for gamers - and the future of gaming.

Discussion:Nvidia's Gameworks nerfing AMD cards and its own previous-gen GPU's?

He is really gonna regret that come summer time, regardless of price.

Tomb raider is stuttering with max settings on a 970 - bet it will plough through with this 980ti
But with new cards coming soon prices on these cards should fall dramatically.

​I highly doubt, as 970 still holding same prices for long time.

The 970's 3.5GB full speed GDDR5 Vram really shines on this title. [carcasm]

Fury X all day long.

Smaller, quieter And on average 5-10 faster than the 980Ti.

And has asynchronous compute which will be paramount in games arriving from Summer with the launch of Deus EX: Mankind divided.
Any body buying Nvidia now will regret it by the end of the year.

Inclined to agree. I have a feeling nvidia will not want to release new parts any faster than they absolutely have to. To eventually shuffle prices downward they'll likely sell a mid-size chip with Titan performance for 980 money.

Hot! Fab price.
I'm so close to pulling the trigger on a top tier GPU but I'm torn...
Buy this Gainward GTX 980Ti PHOENIX GS NVIDIA Graphics Card 6GB @£479.98
Buy the Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 FURY X HBM Graphics Card 4 GB @£469.98

Or wait to see how Polaris and Pascal pan out? My existing i5 2500 & R9 270X seem adequate enough for Insurgency & FC4 but GTA V & AC Syndicate is not so good. :smiley:
