![]() Now let's imagine 2 scenarios:ġ) You underclock the GPU to 900MHz and set a 30% fan profile to make your system more quiet. Generally speaking, what kills the product is heat (minus high current degradation that was a bigger problem on older fab processes) So let's say you have a GPU that runs 60 degrees Celsius under load, at 1000MHz with a 50% fan speed profile. I'd be more than welcome to share a little info. Socius - Saturday, Jlink I think the fact that you believe overclocking will "damage your computer" or in any meaningful way shorten the lifespan of the product, is all the more reason to talk about overclocking.And if I were looking to make a decision on my next card purchase, your article here would give a false impression of what I would get if I spent $100 more on an R9 fury, than on a GTX 980. I'm a fan of whoever has the best technology at any given moment. If the Fury X had come out, and could OC like the 980ti and had 8gb HBM memory, I'd have become an AMD fan. Only because of the features and performance I get. I will admit that I'm currently a big Nvidia fan. I'm finding it really hard to understand what your intent is with these articles, if not to educate people and help them make an actual informed decision when making their next purchase.Īs I mentioned in your previous article on the Fury X.you seem to have a soft spot for AMD. But then you do show overclocking results with the R9 Fury. Now if you weren't interested in overclocking results in general, I'd say fine. As a result, people get misled into thinking spending the extra money on the R9 Fury is actually going to net them higher frame rate.not realizing they could get better performance, for even less money, if someone decided to actually look at overclocking potential. My concern here is that you're not giving a good representation of real world performance gamers will get. Knowing that the GTX 980 will give him better performance once OC'd, at $450, would you even consider telling him to get the R9 Fury at $550? If you had a friend who was looking to spend $500~ on a card and was leaning between the R9 Fury and the GTX 980. Are you saying that when you are talking about performance/value, you ignore the fact that one card can OC 4%, and the other can OC 30% as you don't believe it's relevant? Let me pose the question another way. Socius - Saturday, Jlink I just want to understand something clearly.
