980 ti vs 295x2 (4k & custom watercool)

[helios411]

Would you buy a 980ti or 295x2 (or290x cf) for 4k resolution both custom watercool and why?

new fury 16 June announced, and a week after available.. (amd announcement)
then we will see, how it goes...
(hope they can keep the promise, amd notorious for delay)

OOT: what the different of dx12.1 and dx12 ???, and i don't think it will implemented quickly..
- people said nvi hairworks don't run great on older card..
also u can force setting in amd card to get the same quality without sacrifice the performance.. (never tried though)

COMPOOTEX

AMD CARDS

XCOM 2

FALLOUT 4

ALL THE HYPE WAAAAAAH *Flies into the rainbow in a waffle suit*

But I digress, DX12 is the basic functionality of the API such as the lower overhead on the CPU
12.1 will bring about new rendering processes and something alogn the lines of GPU optimization (Or so I've heard?)

Let's see if AMD can keep their promises.

AMD has had the cards for awhile now. What they are still working on is finding the best way to tune the cards. Its a new, massive GPU. Its a new type of memory. And there are many, ways to skin this cat as the old saying goes. Driver tuning is always fun. Especially on brand new silicon.

But we will see benchmarks soon enough now. That will answer most of the questions about this new tech.

"And since DisplayPort is the only display technology right now that can transport a video signal that can do 3840x2160 @ 60Hz, the back of this new video card will have 3 DisplayPorts and 1 HDMI (30Hz only)."

Wrong. HDMI 2.0 can do that.

As for the OP, I'd rather have the 980 Ti between those two. If looking into the 295x2 as in a multi gpu option then I'd look to drop a little bit more cash and get sli 980s. As others have said though, wait to see what this Fury offers.

295x2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202108&cm_re=295x2-_-14-202-108-_-Product $600

SLI 980's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127834&cm_re=980ti-_-14-127-834-_-Product $1000

That's not a little bit more cash, and 295x2 plays at 4k just as well as sli 980's so I wouldn't suggest that.
