Mate, if you honestly believe that a single game sets the benchmark for all DirectX 12 games and all currently released graphics cards then I'll leave you alone after this cause there's no discussing with people who refuse to be wrong.
...especially if you go to the official website of said single game and it has a pretty big AMD logo in the footer, but anyway...
That said, I'm assuming OP will not build this system to exclusively play games that aren't even actually out yet, so DX11 performance is definitely not irrelevant. Unless of course all he wants to play is Ashes of Singularity, then I take back everything I've said. But then again, "if you bought it you could play it" is definitely the best argument I've read all day.
Don't get me wrong, the Fury X is definitely a good card for a good price. That is a fact, and I'm sure it would serve StarKiller well if he plays a lot of the titles where it outperforms the 980 Ti.
But if he is going to buy it, I think he should do so because it's the best card for his intended purpose of the computer. Not because some guy on a forum told him to get an AMD card, because that's all that guy ever tells everyone to do.
Because if you can't be objective on a forum, you really shouldn't even be on it ""
I already told him it is the only DX12 bench/game we have atm. I didn't say anything beyond that. I'm not wrong in saying in this game at heavier loads the Fury X pulls ahead by about 4%. Saying that's wrong is also saying the article I linked for you is also wrong.
Having the logo doesn't mean anything. They aren't using any vendor specific tech. If it was using that then it would matter. AMD is just sponsoring it so people see it and think DX12 and AMD.
You're arguing over things I didn't say and acting like I'm a dumb narrowminded fanboy. I gave the OP an idea of what he will end up spending. He could get a Fury X Xfire slightly cheaper, get the blocks which are the same, and he plans on 1440p... getting a Freesync 1440p monitor. It comes out much cheaper. His budget is massive so if he still wants Nvidia he has the money for it. He is considering AMD and Nvidia. Why are you arguing? You're not being objective here and assuming he will listen to me.
You can say whatever you want about me only wanting to ever recommend AMD cards. Anything below a 980ti, AMD has a card that either matches or beats it's closest Nvidia competitor at a lower price. Tell me why I shouldn't recommend there cards? Past couple of GPU advice threads many people were recommending 390/390x's... does that make them fanboys too? No it doesn't. I have recommended Nvidia cards to. Some people only want Nvidia, fine, I recommend them the best card for there money. I recommend both on here and off here.
I'm being fairly objective. He wants his computer to last years.. as of now AMD seem to do slightly better at DX12. Who's to say that won't continue, they have the hardware capable for it. Even if it doesn't, performance is still crazy good and it's a cheaper setup. Why is it such a crime to let him know that?
You're a mod on a forum. If you can't help but argue and start bullshit arguments while suggesting to a member to leave you shouldn't be on it either.
You want to continue this, PM me. Let's not derail it further. Better yet you may as well delete all this. Totally derailed already and doesn't help the OP. This isn't how you introduce us to new members.
