We've been meaning to buy one to test (and subsequently throw off of the roof), but it's low priority for us. We already know how the card is going to perform.
The Fury X should benchmark very well, just as the 295X2 does. This is because benchmarks are short and bursty, which is precisely what the Fury X was designed for. But this will not translate into actual cracking performance, since this card will throttle hard under sustained loads. It has to, otherwise it will cause a fire.
Don't even consider the Fury X, just go with the 980Ti. You won't be disappointed.
