NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Review: The New High End
by Ryan Smith on May 23, 2013 9:00 AM ESTCrysis: Warhead
Up next is our legacy title for 2013, Crysis: Warhead. The stand-alone expansion to 2007’s Crysis, at over 4 years old Crysis: Warhead can still beat most systems down. Crysis was intended to be future-looking as far as performance and visual quality goes, and it has clearly achieved that. We’ve only finally reached the point where single-GPU cards have come out that can hit 60fps at 1920 with 4xAA.
Thankfully for NVIDA, Crysis: Warhead is the last of the games where we see the GTX 780 struggle to get well ahead of the 7970GE. Once more the performance advantage is just 8% over AMD’s best single-GPU card at 2560, with both cards hitting the mid-40s for frames per second. On the other hand Crysis benefits greatly from the extra memory bandwidth and ROPs of GTX 780 compared to the GTX 680, leading to a 37% performance gap in favor of the GTX 780. Finally, the GTX 780 once more trails the GTX Titan by about 11%.
When it comes to minimum framerates things actually improve a bit for the GTX 780. Against the 7970GE it retains its 8% lead, but versus the GTX 680 it’s now a sizable 47% lead.

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.
