Nvidia GTX 980/970 - 3DMark Scores Leaked - tech
(hx) 12:22 AM CEST - Sep,09 2014 - Post a comment / read (5)
VideoCardz has leaked the first 3DMark scores for Nvidia GTX 980/970, Nvidia's upcoming GPUs. In case you've not been following this latest generation of Nvidia's GPUs, the company has decided to skip the 8xx GPU series for the PC. Therefore, the team will re-brand those cards and will release them under the 9xx brand, and the new GPUs from Nvidia will be basically GTX980 and GTX970. As you can see, the performance difference between Nvidia's GTX980 and GTX780Ti is pretty small. In fact, some could say that these are disappointing results. Still, if these cards are priced at around $499 (? rumored), then I can safely say that there will be a market for them.

Making impressively faster cards is a challenge because you're bouncing off the TDP and other things firmly rooted in physics, but I have to say this is not impressive. Nvidia had time to craft a reply to the 290X and what they come up with doesn't even move the 295X2 off the performance throne even in SLI.

If anything this moves me closer to buying the Asus DirectCU 290X, the factory OC of it moves it pretty much to parity with the GTX 780ti for less money. Doesn't look like the 9xx series changes the equation much at all.

AMD is sacrificing quality for performance so I wouldn't directly compare any results. I went from nV to AMD and back more times than I can remember, and R series is the worst. I have been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately and when things start moving fast (by things I mean shaders/effects) AMD makes those things compressed while on nV card they look normal, sharp, crisp. On r9 AMD (texture IQ in drivers set to High Q.) those same effects look like a bad divx compression, blocky-like looks in motion. Putting my old 650Ti boost back in and no blocky compression manifestations anymore...

So, it's not all about numbers. Also, there are power play issues such as monitor refusing to wake up from prolonged sleep mode etc. Just google it if you don't believe me.
While these things might not put you or me off the AMD price/performance offers, they are worth taking into account when looking benchmark numbers, price and so on.

oh and there things that nVidia can do easily that AMD cannot:
Supersampling
Downsampling and custom resolutions
Forced AA method in the games
Forced V-Sync

all of the above don't work on AMD namely in Diablo 3, while they work fine with nV. Most of the tools that promise to be able to force these things on AMD don't work, I have tried ALL of them.

so there is that...

also, if you don't use 4K or 5K monitors there is hardly any reason (game) to buy anything faster than AMD 280x/nV 770.

As for low performance increases in the graphic card department over the last year, same thing is going on in the CPU department. While syntetic benchmarks might show you how much faster is the new intel i7, you wont notice any difference in real life applications if you are coming from an old Sandy Bridge i7. Price tag is the only real increase here....Wall has been hit and that's it. Wait for quantum computing, that's the next logical step and only that will bring real improvements. We might not even need anything else except CPU and RAM. IMO, graphic cards will become past.

The only good news in this is that the GTX 780 prices will drop when the 980s hit the shelves.

Exactly. The prices are so retarded. No way in hell will I ever pay more than $300 for a video card. Insanity.

What's with the extra zero? ;-)
My limit is 150$. You get pretty decent single-monitor performance for that nowadays.
