So here's a few things.


First you made sure to pick the highest overclock on the 980Ti card and then the lowest clock (reference) card on the Fury. I'm not saying ALL GAME ENGINES are prefered to the Fury but in DX12 the fury is topping the 980 Ti.

The Fury is around HALF the price of that 980Ti and has very close performance.

The 980 Ti is more power efficent yes.

The Fury will perform better sub 4k due to only having 4gb of memory regardless of the bandwidth
