AMD R9 Fury X Leaps Ahead Of Nvidia GTX 980 Ti With The Latest Windows 10 Drivers – All AMD GPUs Get A Sizable Performance Boost

I'm actually surprised at how much the R9 290 has gotten ahead of GTX 780, let alone GTX 970 and GTX 780 Ti!!!   Before, it was the GTX 780 that was ahead of R9 290.  

Although I'd still prefer my old GTX 780 over my old R9 290 that I sold off (due to hardware PhysX support, 3D Vision, forced Ambient Occlusion support in some of the older games, etc..), I have to hand my hat off to AMD and give them props/kudos for getting the 290/X to be that much faster even 2 years later.

This is great news for AMD but the article is completely misleading. There are different games used in the new review. That pretty much ruins the comparison.

I have always wondered how nvidia's anemic HW competed so well. Clearly AMD had issues with utilization. I believe there is more to gain on AMD cards, seems pretty logical to me.

But still, when the test suit changes.......... This article was just click bait.

A decent point, but even if it's different games, at least the Radeons are doing great with the newer games. It's not just TPU but basically all other sites that show the GCN architecture to be doing so much better this year than 2 years ago when compared against the same NV cards year-on-year. Either the Radeons are more future-proof with the newer games, or the drivers have been consistently churning out more performance - especially with Windows 10 supporting better CPU utilization. Radeons were infamous for horribly unoptimized CPU utitlization. If you said that it seems logical to you, why should it be completely without merit just because the test suite changed over the years (which is what pretty much all review sites do as they try to keep the suite as up to date as possible)?
