NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Review: The New High End
by Ryan Smith on May 23, 2013 9:00 AM ESTBattlefield 3
Our final action game of our benchmark suite is Battlefield 3, DICE’s 2011 multiplayer military shooter. Its ability to pose a significant challenge to GPUs has been dulled some by time and drivers, but it’s still a challenge if you want to hit the highest settings at the highest resolutions at the highest anti-aliasing levels. Furthermore while we can crack 60fps in single player mode, our rule of thumb here is that multiplayer framerates will dip to half our single player framerates, so hitting high framerates here may not be high enough.
Battlefield 3 is another game that NVIDIA traditionally does well in, despite the fact that both sides have wrung out some rather impressive performance increases over the last year. At 2560 the GTX 780 enjoys a 33% lead over the 7970GE, a 27% lead over the GTX 680, and a massive 85% lead over the GTX 580. Furthermore this is fast enough to get it past 60fps at 2560, which means our minimum framerates should dip no lower than the mid-30s even in the most hectic multiplayer maps.

I really appreciate that the guy who made this article showed us the texel and pixel fill rate in the synthetic benchmarks part of the review, instead of doing what me, and apparently inexperienced guy that isn't hired by one of the biggest tech reviewing websites on the internet and clearly lacks knowledge in this field, would do, which is, INCLUDE RESULTS MADE WITH 3DMARK11 IN PERFORMANCE PRESET (please don't include scores made in extreme preset, not everyone pays like 1000$ to get a license for a benchmark program, have some common sense) or in another popular benchmarking program, like Heaven, or maybe include the normal score for 3dmark vantage (even though nobody uses that anymore, even gpus from the amd 5XXX and nvidia 4XX series had support for dx11).I don't want to be rude, you're supposed to do your job, but when a stranger with no experience can do it better at least have the decency of actually caring about what to do, you do get paid for doing this, right?

Get a HD7970 and spend those 200$(650-450) on a vacation...Mithan - Friday, June 14, 2013 - link
Finally, a worthy upgrade for my GTX580.Unfortunately, it is priced too much.
If it was $500, I would probably order one now and be happy for the next 3 years or so, but I will wait for Maxwell.
