    That's a pretty big if, imo.

    Also, yes, Crossfire scaling is great, first hand experience here, when it works, it's great. Problem is... It doesn't work as much as it should, judging by the recent (last 6 months or so) comments. When I ran 7950 CFX (you can call that 380 CFX haha) back in the day, the support was pretty good. But apparently things have changed a bit since then, from what I read on this forum.

    I will have first hand experience pretty soon. I'll let you know. I am hoping for 1500Mhz with 2 classifieds.

    There is no overclocking potential in my opinion. Maxwell chips oc like crazy without touching the voltage. Voltage will rarely make the overclock much better, just gives some extra which usually is not worth it (heat, noise, power usage, really small gain). In Fury X's case I wouldn't touch voltage at all because VRM cooling is pretty weak.

    ROFL, I actually chucked the Blu-Ray on after seeing that.

    Great movie and the same way I feel about Crossfire (after numerous disappointing experiences with it).

    Are you seeing any throttling with 980ti sli?

    From the results I have seen with fury X in xfire mode, seems prettie good scaling.

    Really looking into the dual R9 fury X on single pcb, seems tasty.

    I haven't used ati cards since the 5XXX time, I had the dual on single pcb version of the 5XXX series and the 5970, in tri-fire mode, seems to scale prettie well, I know it did on FFxiv online, cards were very good for its time, only one problem with the dual 5XXX, vrm runs brutally hot, despite being water cooled.

    Also new drivers just got released today, hopefully we can see comparison differences between the ones we just saw on all of theses videos/benchmarks and the new drivers just got released today, love to see the differences.

    Yeah the dual fury card should be very interesting, and the water cooler which it will likely feature will make more sense and won't take as much space as 2xnormal fury would.

    Fury X vs 980ti multi-GPU performance:

    http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphi...-GTX-980-Ti-2-and-3-Way-Multi-GPU-Performance

    Winner? Fury X.

    So not all doom and gloom for FuryX for those seeking the ultimate multi-GPU setups. :banana:

    Hasn't Crossfire always scaled better? I had a 4780X2 and my problem wasn't with the scaling performance, it was the number of games it actually worked at all in. Most AAA titles were fine, but random other little games weren't.

    Also I think for the most part SLI/Crossfire are going to run into issues in future games where deferred rendering becomes further and further used. Going to require the dev/amd/nvidia to work far more closely at developing the implementation for multi-GPU setups.

    This is the problem with CF

    Sometimes more FPS than SLI but frametimes are absolute garbage, last time i tried it was 7970 and that was an eye sore judder fest

    Yeah, I won't consider xfire even if it's faster with those frametimes.

    That is what I was talking about earlier in the thread. But that aside it looks like the Fury is the better card anyways as it is right on the heals of the X with a cheaper price and just the slight overclocking it can do puts it past the X in every game and resolution.

    I would not be surprised if Nvidia dropped the 980 and 980Ti MSRP by another $50 just to make Fiji completely irrelevant.

    980 at $450
    980Ti at $600

    That would really be interesting.

    980 at $400, 970 $279 and the ti at $550 would literally kill off their sales i think

    Frametime variance was pretty bad on GTA V for Fury X CF, but did quite a bit better in BF4, Bioshock inf and Metro LL. So largely game dependent. Not enough games tested really to reach definitive conclusion.
