In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB are very slightly better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition.
The GTX 780 Ti has a 22 MHz higher core clock speed than the R9 FURY, but the R9 FURY has 16 more Texture Mapping Units than the GTX 780 Ti. As a result, the R9 FURY exhibits a 11.5 GTexel/s better Texture Fill Rate than the GTX 780 Ti. This still holds weight but shader performance is generally more relevant, particularly since both of these GPUs support at least DirectX 10.
The GTX 780 Ti has a 22 MHz higher core clock speed than the R9 FURY, but the R9 FURY has 16 more Render Output Units than the GTX 780 Ti. As a result, the R9 FURY exhibits a 15.7 GPixel/s better Pixel Fill Rate than the GTX 780 Ti. However, both GPUs support DirectX 9 or above, and pixeling performance is only really relevant when comparing older cards.
The R9 FURY was released over a year more recently than the GTX 780 Ti, and so the R9 FURY is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 780 Ti.
Both GPUs exhibit very powerful performance, so it probably isn't worth upgrading from one to the other, as both are capable of running even the most demanding games at the highest settings.
The R9 FURY has 1024 MB more video memory than the GTX 780 Ti, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. This is supported by the fact that the R9 FURY also has superior memory performance overall.
The R9 FURY has 176 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GTX 780 Ti, which means that the memory performance of the R9 FURY is massively better than the GTX 780 Ti.
The Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB has 4096 Shader Processing Units and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition has 2880. However, the actual shader performance of the R9 FURY is 3656 and the actual shader performance of the GTX 780 Ti is 3275. The R9 FURY having 381 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the R9 FURY delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the GTX 780 Ti.
The Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB requires 275 Watts to run and the GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition requires 250 Watts. We would recommend a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the R9 FURY and a PSU with at least 600 Watts for the GTX 780 Ti. The R9 FURY requires 25 Watts more than the GTX 780 Ti to run. The difference is not significant enough for the R9 FURY to have a noticeably larger impact on your yearly electricity bills than the GTX 780 Ti.

| Mini Review | Overview Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB is an Enthusiast Graphics Card based on the Third Revision of the Graphics Core Next (GCN) Architecture. Architecture The Fiji is a Second Generation GCN GPU. It offers support for HBM-1 Memory, DirectX 12.0, Open GL 4.5 and the acclaimed Delta Compression Algorithm which may decrease bandwidth consumption by up to 30%, in most games. Fiji XT is the Full Variant of the GPU with 64 Compute Units activated, offering 4096 Shader Processing Units, 256 TMUs and 64 ROPs. GPU The Central Unit is clocked at 1000MHz. Memory: Speed The GPU is equipped with stacked HBM-1 Memory and accesses the Frame Buffer through a 4096-bit memory interface. Memory: Frame Buffer The GPU can fill up a Memory Pool of up to 4GB. Under most circumstances, this only proves useful in certain 3D Games whose Settings Require Large Amounts of Memory. However, and because the GPU itself is aimed for 4K Gaming, 4GB might be a bottlenecked and Performance could be better, were the Frame Buffer larger. Power Consumption With a rated board TDP of 275W, it requires at least a 600W PSU with two available 8-pin connectors. Performance Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB competes with GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB and both are available for $649. Benchmarks However Indicate that GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB is still faster than Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB, even at 4K, whereas as the resolution goes down, the performance gap between the latter and GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB increases and at 1600x900, Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB is only as fast as the weaker GeForce GTX 980. Considering Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB offers practically no overclock potential (operating memory clock can't even be increased), consumes slightly more energy than GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB, costs the same price and performs worse, Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB ends up being one of AMD's worst releases of the last years and given the hype built, probably the most disappointing. System Suggestions Radeon R9 FURY X 4GB is best suited for resolutions up to and including 2560x1600. We recommend a Very Strong Processor and 16GB of RAM for Optimal Performance. | GeForce GTX 780 Ti EVGA Classified Kingpin Edition is a special edition of the high-end GeForce GTX 780 Ti. This edition comes with a custom double fan cooling solution which by itself should allow a slight performance boost, as GeForce GTX 780 benefits from the GPU Boost 2.0 technology. Also, it has been overclocked out of the box from 875MHz to 1072MHz while its boost clock is now of 1137MHz. The memory clock was left untouched. Benchmarks indicate a 10% performance boost when compared to the reference card and so this card surpasses the mighty GeForce GTX 690. | |||
