I am planning on doing a PC upgrade soon and I was thinking about getting the 980 TI. Now I thought this was a good idea until I had people telling me to get the Fury X because it's better for 4k and other things. The biggest thing that confused me is when I went looking at benchmarks and the 980 TI beat the Fury X. I also cannot seem to find how much I could buy the Fury X for. Does the guy just not know what he is talking about, or can someone explain? Any help is appreciated. Thank you for your time :)
 
Solution
I would get the 980 ti. It is better than the fury x to my knowledge, and the non reference 980 ti's performance is extremely close to a titan x, which is way more. 980 ti is a beast card, and I would reccomend getting a NON reference card, as you will get better performance.

Thank you for clearing this up. After seeing it's benchmarks when it first came out I knew I wanted to get it. I wanted some feedback to make sure I was making the right choice :)
