Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 980 Ti vs Radeon R9 Fury X
IntroThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti makes use of a 28 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 1000 MHz. The GDDR5 memory works at a speed of 1750 MHz on this card. It features 2816 SPUs along with 176 Texture Address Units and 96 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon R9 Fury X, which has a GPU core clock speed of 1050 MHz, and 4096 MB of HBM RAM set to run at 500 MHz through a 4096-bit bus. It also features 4096 SPUs, 256 Texture Address Units, and 64 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthIn theory, the Radeon R9 Fury X should perform much faster than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 Fury X is quite a bit (approximately 53%) better at AF than the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. (explain)
Pixel RateThe GeForce GTX 980 Ti is quite a bit (approximately 43%) better at anti-aliasing than the Radeon R9 Fury X, and will be able to handle higher screen resolutions while still performing well. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (in units of MB per second) that can be moved past the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the graphics card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly write to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

It's just the first HBM implementation, so it's kinda experimental, wait for next one, in 2016, they will get rid of some limitations, like memory speed or 4GB maximum capacity, also will be on 20/16 nm process, just imagine that dual gpu version, with over 1 million mb/sec bandwidth, and lower TDP... Also, like you said, more ROP's would be more than welcomed. I hope they will learn from their past mistakes, and deliver best performance at good prices, and optimize their drivers.
The Fury X obtained disappointing benchmark results, other than what we expected, somewhere between 980 and 980 Ti. Keep in mind that there were made under DX11, we don't know what DX12 will bring. Also, I understand that they will remove the voltage and overclock limit, and with better optimized drivers, the results could change.
After the last driver update. The fury x is beating the 980ti by a 4% across the board. And that's even without the crimson drivers.
