Since these are homeless ppl, they would not have made any legal purchases any of the content they downloaded anyway. So tell me, how much $ did the studios lose from their downloading?
I don't know which one is my bigger pet peeve... people calling these non-hovering things "hoverboards" or people that don't know how to spell "lose". :mad:
My biggest pet peeve used to be people misspelling "lose" as "loose", but now I think people calling these non-hovering things "hoverboards" trumps that.
The blaming of Gameworks for this crappy port needs to stop. There is no evidence (at least that I've seen so far) to indicate that Gameworks is the cause of the performance/stability issues. I have tried the game with the Gameworks features on/off and it made no difference. The same...
Usually (in a competitive tech landscape), when a product is released, it takes the performance crown from its competitor.
Many expected (and wanted) AMD to take the performance crown from Nvidia this time, having not released a flagship card in such a long time.
What resulted (Fury X) was...
The extra VRAM they gave the 390/390X is pure marketing - and also an excuse to sell those cards at higher prices. 390/390X GPUs don't have the horsepower to fully utilize 8GB VRAM. Can't blame them for trying...
It's the same situation with Kepler (GK104) cards back in the day. It was...
Is there any evidence that the cause of the issues are due to Gameworks? Everything I've read so far seems to indicate it was just another lousy port. Tired of all this finger pointing at Gameworks being the cause of the problems.
Guess what? I've played many games that use Gameworks -...
Yes, thankfully for refunds, we customers can put some pressure on them to make things right.
I only pre-ordered because it was 40%. I decided to get a refund just to show them that this release was unacceptable. If and when they do fix the game, I will buy it when it's 75% off.
Not only...
It seems to me that those that disagree with the review are in denial. We are judging Fury X based on what it offers for the asking price ($650) compared to the competition. Since it is priced exactly the same as the GTX980 Ti, that is what we're comparing it against. In that regard, it does...
I think it comes down to a matter of priorities and resources. Devs/Publishers just don't prioritize PC as highly as consoles when it comes to cross-platform releases for whatever reason. There's really no excuse for such a poor release that is broken for so many PC configurations (myself...
I had been anticipating the release of this since they announced it. I told myself that I wouldn't pre-order. I actually stuck to my plan... until GMG had a 40% off deal. I bit. Now I know why it was 40% off... what AAA title launches with 40% off?!?!
Anyway, hoping they fix this !@#$...
Seems to me some AMD fan boys are getting upset at the criticism and disappointment (backed up by [H]'s excellent review) towards the Fury X. If you actually read the posts you'd realize that most here are disappointed that Fury X doesn't live up to the hype/expectation that many had for it...
I disagree. I think the choice of games [H] tested for this review represents modern engines/architectures that give a good representation of what kind of gaming experience to expect now and in the near future.
And as a potential customer, don't you want to know how this card performs in...
Doubt this would happen. If anything, due to weak sales, I see Fury X dropping in price relatively soon. It would probably go down to GTX980 levels and compete there.
Great review.
So much fail here.
1) Late to the game.
2) Costs the same as a GTX980 Ti but trails it in performance
3) 4GB VRAM (compared to GTX980 Ti's 6GB)
4) Requires water cooler
5) No HDMI 2.0
This card would have had a chance had it been the "390X" and priced as such. Now...
I'm starting to think that the bottom line is that this was just a piss-poor port. Nothing to do with gameworks or supposed optimizations for Nvidia vs AMD hardware.
I'm running a GTX970 @ 1080p with the latest drivers installed. As other sources have pointed out, the game runs at 30fps...
Apparently there are more issues than just the gameworks features. These issues affect both camps, nvidia and amd.

Looks like another crappy port for PC. Seriously, PC gamers will always be treated like second class...
Oh really? And what makes you so sure of that? Just because something was obtained for free via piracy does not guarantee that it would have been purchased if it were not available via piracy. The truth is, we really don't know exactly how many sales are lost due to piracy.
However, there...
To be clear, I'm not advocating piracy. The point I'm trying to make is that piracy is not as big a deal as some make it out to be. The proof, look at all the revenue that is being generated in the entertainment industry. People are still paying for stuff. The solution to piracy is to...
DRM is not the answer to piracy. It only punishes paying customers. Driving them away from future sales once they see how limiting and annoying the DRM is. Since all DRM gets cracked anyways, pirates will continue to pirate while paying customers get punished. The sooner publishers realize...
How is it childish and wrong? If someone downloads a song, but never intended to buy that song in the first place, tell me, how much $ did the RIAA lose? Now out of every instance of piracy, how many instances fit that scenario? Does anyone really know? No. All we know for certain is that...
If piracy = theft, then why call it "piracy"? Why not just call it theft? They are obviously not the same things.
Whenever something is pirated, it doesn't mean that it would have been purchased if it weren't pirated. A pirated song/movie/game/etc does not always equal a lost sale - in...
Movies, like other art forms (like music) are subjective, some people will like something while others won't. But according to my own tastes, I will agree that 80% of the movies that come out these days aren't worth watching.
Anyways, one of the big things about piracy that these copyright...

Listing minimum/recommended/ultra system requirements is pointlesss without also listing at what resolution and framerate the requirements are expected to run at.
I'm assuming this is for 1080p @ 60fps :confused:

Why do people keep comparing Titan (single GPU) to multi GPU setups? Yes there are cheaper, higher performing multi-GPU solutions out there compared to Titan - but there are trade-offs as well (power consumption, heat, noise, game compatibility) where a single GPU is always better.
I'm no...
Can't put the all the blame on Nvidia with regards to pricing. It's priced at $999 because there's no competition from AMD at the high-end (the GTX 680 competes with the 7970). If AMD had a Titan-competitor do you think we'd see prices like this? While you're blaming Nvidia don't forget to...
My current video card is a Radeon HD 4890 1GB. I have my PC hooked up to my desktop monitor (1920x1200) and my TV (1080p).
The ASUS GeForce GTX 660 Ti DirectCU II would greatly benefit my current setup in many ways. As an example - one of my recent favourite games (Batman Arkham City)...
