The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review

Our second benchmark in our benchmark suite is Relic Games’ Company of Heroes 2, the developer’s World War II Eastern Front themed RTS. For Company of Heroes 2 Relic was kind enough to put together a very strenuous built-in benchmark that was captured from one of the most demanding, snow-bound maps in the game, giving us a great look at CoH2’s performance at its worst. Consequently if a card can do well here then it should have no trouble throughout the rest of the game.
Since Company of Heroes 2 is not an AFR friendly game, getting the best performance out of the game requires having the fastest GPU. While the GTX 780 Ti has a clear lead over the 290X across the average of our games, in this specific case it’s going to come up short, as AMD’s performance with this game is simply too high to be overcome without a significant performance advantage. Conversely this means that GTX 780 Ti and 290X are still close enough that NVIDIA won’t be able to sweep every game; in games where AMD still does exceptionally well, they’ll be able to close the gap and surpass the GTX 780 Ti.
Meanwhile, looking at a straight-up NVIDIA comparison, the GTX 780 Ti holds a slightly smaller than normal lead over its counterparts. At 5% faster than GTX Titan and 17% faster than GTX 780 it’s still the fastest of the cards, but it won’t pull ahead in this game by as much as it does elsewhere.
The minimum framerate story is largely the same. GTX 780 Ti is the fastest NVIDIA card, but it will trail the 290X by over 10% in both scenarios.

Can someone explain to me the logic of setting the game at 4x antialiasing while playing at 2560x1440?Because I can't find any.

Looks like Anand is more Fan of a AMD rather than Nvidia i can understand that, but check the game bench markings on 780Ti after market cards it kills AMD 290x, i dont understand one thing if game bench marking is all about then i have GTX550ti 1 GB DDR5 runs ultra settings for Sniper Elite 3, Far Cry 3, AC3, AC4 , Sky Rim, the reason is simple and obvious that Nividia has & AMD dosent -- PhysX Software with the Chip on the card it self, i know many of you might be thinking hey even AMD cards utlize PhyX but remember not with right hardware. AMD is Good a CPUs not GPUs. one more interesting point in every 6 out of 10 games splash screen as "Nvidia the way it meant to be played" i have hardly seen any game that says AMD Radeon the way its meant to be played lol. Something to think about, in conclusion Nvidia is for a premium segment the pricing speaks, why else would you pay more price, because Nvidia is confident on their quality, on the other hand competitors go for desperate selling, which puts doubts in you brain.
