Our next set of benchmarks zeroes in on just the Radeon Fury, GTX 980, and GTX 980 Ti in dual-card setups. At 4K, Fury in CrossFire is 16 percent faster than GTX 980 in SLI, and only 2 percent slower than 980 Ti in SLI. We can’t use it as the perfect performance gauge, but it normally gives us a clear picture of how various cards stack up next to each other.Īs you saw in our single-card Fury review, the Radeon Fury sneaks in dangerously close to Nvidia’s more expensive GTX 980 Ti, and that’s mirrored in multi-card testing. Taking it to the benchģDMark’s Fire Strike benchmark tests your system’s DirectX 11 performance and murders video cards with a heavy dose of physics, tessellation, ambient occlusion, and other features you’re used to seeing when you tweak those graphics settings on your favorite games. We’re running clean installs of AMD’s Catalyst 15.7 and Nvidia’s GeForce 353.30 drivers on a fully updated Windows 8.1 system.

It’s stacked onto an ASUS X99 Deluxe motherboard and powered by a Corsair AX1200i power supply. It’s chilled by a NZXT Kraken X41 liquid CPU cooler, supported by 8GB of lightning-fast G.Skill Ripjaws 2400MHz DDR4 memory. For this particular evaluation we’re rocking a monster 8-core Intel i7 5960x to prevent any kind of bottlenecking.
