Notice how it's only the 4K benchmark being used, it's the only benchmark where AMD actually does well. Nice cherry picking OP.
Your argument fails badly. It doesn't change much at 1440P. Fury X ties the 980 Ti. R9 290 is still beating the GTX 780 Ti and GTX 970 by nearly 10 frames. If anything it actually gets bad for nVidia for anything below the Fury X.
Once again, these tests were run with reference cards. Non-reference 980 Ti's get like 10% extra performance purely from the factory overclock out of the box. That doesn't even include the overclock you can do yourself.. Same with 970's. Whereas AMD cards can't OC for shit. I mean I can admit the 390 is a better buy than the 970 but it doesn't change the fact this thread is misleading.
Fury & fury x is an absolute rip off right now since the 980 ti destroys it so badly.
You're reaching a lot, reference cards are AMD and Nvidia's manufacturer specifications for each respective card. Non-reference models are third party vendor bios modifications, in other words they're simply overclocked with a more advanced method than the end user would execute. Using modified graphics cards which also generally come with a different and higher cost premium is stupid, you want to compare the cards as they're actually spec'd from AMD and Nvidia.
You're also reaching in regards to the 980 Ti "destroying it so badly", the 980 Ti isn't a more powerful card and doesn't beat it in all tests, like always with flagship cards they play off of each other, one does X better while the other does Y better and back and forth, and that is in preliminary benchmarks with introduction drivers. They're essentially the same cards from different companies, that's the reality of this, it's a green Lamborghini and a red Ferrari, there is no right or wrong choice, just what best suits you.
Also the Fury X can be had for less money and will likely receive a price drop before the 980 Ti, you're just talking a bunch of shit.
