GeForce GTX 950 vs Radeon R9 Fury specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R9 Fury GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 950 in gaming.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R9 Fury has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 950 has a significantly lower TDP at 90 W when compared to the Radeon R9 Fury at 275 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R9 Fury is faster than the GeForce GTX 950.
