Hmm in the review, with both cards at stock settings, the 290x came ahead in one game, and the average between both cards (actual games not including firestike, heaven, luxmark), the 780ti is just 4% faster at 1080p… If we assume you can get 10% extra performance over stock when overclocking the 780ti, then it would be something like (1.04*1.10=1.144) the 780ti oc’d would be 14.4% faster than the stock 290x, so you would be paying 30% more money to get roughly 15% extra performance… It’d be interesting to get some reviews about overclocked non-reference models from both cards.

I said 4k because I thought anyone going multi-gpu with these cards, was going to go high resolution, or maybe 1080p 144mhz. My point is that when going multigpu and using a single monitor, AMD scales a lot better now, with Hawaii scaling almost a 100% per gpu, and that is at any resolution.

I feel your pain, Portugal is b*tch with prices too. They’re selling GTX 780Ti at $957,92 here. Q^Q’

5-10% extra *before* overclocking. And from what I’ve seen, the 780TI is a better overclocker because the 290X is already pushed really far. if I was going to go for anything cost effective, I would not look at a 290X anyway.

Also it’s going to be a fair while before 4K or 4K gaming is going to matter – by the time 4K IPS monitors are affordable, I’ll just upgrade to something else.

It’s ok if you are not building on a budget, but for multi-gpu system on single 4k monitor, AMD has the lead. Hawaii GPUs scale almost a 100% per gpu and the microstutter did get significantly better on single monitor setup… but anyway, for a single gpu, 780ti got the crown, if one doesn’t care paying almost extra 30% to get roughly 5-10% extra performance

Cool, for competition’s sake I really hope so because like with Intel and AMD’s current competition, Intel basically is king and it has to hurt progress in the long run

I can understand that… quite far and its hard to get some stuff like pc stuff and etc ?

Its because the 780 Ti was supposed to be the 780, Titan (with less compute units) the 770, and the 780 the 760 Ti. The only reason they didn’t release it before was because they didn’t need to because AMD fumbled the ball with Tahiti. The 290x finally made them do it.

Okay, might be possible. Just seems odd how fast Nvidia reacted, then again, they probably know the details of their rivals card releases months in advance
