by techPowerUp!While the card introduces cool new technology like HBM and watercooling in a compact form factor, its performance is not high enough to conclusively beat NVIDIA's offerings, especially the factory overclocked models.
by techPowerUp!The performance gap suddenly widens as soon as we start looking at lower resolutions; 4K vs. the GTX 980 Ti: -2%, 1440p: -9%, 1080p: -14%, 900p.

What People Are Saying Give it to me straight
Performance
by techPowerUp!In addition, the card exhibits some coil noise, depending on the game and framerate, but it's definitely there, and combined, the two effectively overpower the fan's noise levels.
by techPowerUp!AMD has released their first new high-end GPU in one and a half years.
by techPowerUp!During gaming, I've noticed some coil noise coming from the card, dependent on the framerate.
Applications
by techPowerUp!Sure, there will be lazy game developers that will fill all the VRAM up with unnecessary junk, but those games will be the exception, not the norm.
by techPowerUp!This means you can build a compact low-noise gaming PC for the living room that has enough power to play all the latest games.
by techPowerUp!In gaming, noise levels are very good, much lower than competing reference designs from NVIDIA.
Gaming
by techPowerUp!NVIDIA's GTX Titan X is still 8% ahead, but the performance is extremely game dependent.
by techPowerUp!So if you are thinking about 144 Hz 1080p gaming, the GTX 980 Ti is the way to go.
by techPowerUp!AMD's choice for a watercooling solution definitely pays off in gaming noise levels.
Memory
by techPowerUp!For any memory standard (including HBM), memory speed/bandwidth and power draw don't scale linearly.
by techPowerUp!It is complemented by a transfer of video memory from physical chips surrounding the GPU package - over 32-bit-wide data paths, each.
by techPowerUp!This is what necessitates a new memory standard.
Multi card
by techPowerUp!AMD didn't announce any changes to the ancillaries - the multimedia engine, XDMA CrossFire (no bridge cables required), display controllers with support for DisplayPort 1.2a and HDMI 1.4a, and PCI-Express gen 3.0 x16 host interface remain the same as on "Hawaii.
