I hope the message gets out and the thread doesnt die out since the moderators moved it to the graphic card section.

Stupid Nvidia... purposefully holding back the vanilla 980ti to make people want to buy the 980ti Lightning edition!!! <img alt="mad.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/mad.gif"><br><br>

They're taking this gimping thing to a whole new level now <img alt="wink.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/wink.gif"><br><img alt="tongue.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif"><img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/biggrin.gif"></div>

You are aware that GTX 980Ti Lightning is an overclocked GTX 980Ti that is expensive as hell right? Thats why it is faster <img alt="tongue.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.overclock.net/images/smilies/tongue.gif"><br><div class="quote-container" data-huddler-embed="/t/1578881/fury-x-is-now-just-as-fast-as-gtx-980ti-in-1080p-1440p-and-faster-in-4k#post_24561193" data-huddler-embed-placeholder="false"><span>Quote:</span>

Excellent. It's a shame that when it came time for me to buy my GPU, the Fury X was:<br><br>

out of stock<br><br>

had pump issues out the wazoo<br><br>

was slower than the 980Ti<br><br>

was more expensive.<br><br>

This kind of drives the point home that AMD makes good hardware, but they really.... really..... REALLY... REALLY need to get their drivers in check out of the gate. Had the Fury X been equal / faster than the 980Ti at the start, perhaps there would be fewer 980Tis out in the wild, and more Fury X's.</div>

Yes, the Fury X launch was not ideal, thats for sure. But man have AMD recovered. Availability on the market and yields are now ideal. Drivers are better than Nvidia. Rumors about Omega drivers lurking around in the corner bringing who knows what to the Fury X card. I hope they unlocked voltage and improved overclocking. Any additional performance gains will for sure make the Fury X card a no brainer vs GTX 980Ti.<br>

To me Fury X is already a better buy right now though.
