Synthetics

As always we’ll also take a quick look at synthetic performance, though as GTX 780 is just another GK110 card, there shouldn't be any surprises here.

As expected, firing up the 15th SMX and slightly increasing their clockspeed has further cemented NVIDIA’s hold on tessellation performnace.

Moving on, we have our 3DMark Vantage texture and pixel fillrate tests, which present our cards with massive amounts of texturing and color blending work. These aren’t results we suggest comparing across different vendors, but they’re good for tracking improvements and changes within a single product family.

Similarly, both texel and pixel fillrates as seen by 3DMark Vantage have increased. For texel fillrates the biggest benefit is the 15th SMX, while the pixel fillrates benefit from a mix of the higher GPU clockspeed and the increased memory bandwidth, further improving the peak performance of NVIDIA’s render backend.

    "Doesn't bode well." Just zip it.

    Fast forward to 8:35 or so...Got smashed, both OC'ed to the max. In Uber as anandtech even showed, it hits it's max all day. So 1ghz won't get more, and they run higher than that at linustechtips (both cards oced max they could get). Nowhere close in any benchmark they run. Don't forget you can clock the crap out of 780TI as already shown everywhere. If you're assuming a "Properly Cooled" ghz edition beats 780ti well we've only seen REF 780TI's so far too right? So what does a "Properly Cooled" 780ti do? They hit 1200-1300 stock fan. Will they hit 1300-1400 with an aftermarket fan? You won't catch it as it is without water and you'll need to be way over 1ghz to do it and pulling more watts no doubt.

    What record are you giving? Assumptions and guesswork that goes against all current info from MANY sites. Check out all the sites I listed. That is what we call "for the record".

    Only 1120/1175 (base/boost) and it's 30.8% faster than UBER 290x. Not even sure water would catch this and this is a WEAK OC compared to other sites like overclockers hitting 1291/1304. They can do this out of the box.

    to let you know the nvidea gtx 780 ti is walking and not breaking sweat. while the amdsare running think of it this way. if you over clock or make nvidea gtx 780 ti sprint it is said int can get a 19% to 20% boost in performence. and it only gets noise and sound of amds card.

    The only thing louder than a 290X is a Nvidia Fanboy.
  • HisDivineOrder - Thursday, November 7, 2013 - link

    Actually, I think the louder thing still is the sound of AMD fanboys coming into a review of a new nVidia halo product and crying about "nvidia fanboys." ;)

    Well, ask your colleague troll not to bring AMD trash talk into an Nvidia article. (See first comment to this article).

    Haha!

    Sure, if you like to throw money away. Nvidia could seriously destroy AMD on this generation, but they're choosing not to compete by not pricing in line with performance.

    I personally think AMD has the edge when it comes to cost/unit because their chip is smaller, which is how they can price so much lower.

    See its about the feature sets as well that determine price, and of course support. The 289x should have been released with the 600 series not the end of the 700 series and at the edge of starting the 800 series in a few months with Maxwell.
