Wow those are some terrible benchmark figures. I guess going from 2-3GB to 4GB itself is considered a major upgrade for Nvidia

Gaming PC - i5 4570, Asus R9 290 DirectCU II Liquid Cooled with Kraken G10+H55, Ripjaws 8gb ram, NZXT Phantom 530 Full Tower, Corsair 650w

 

 

Well hello thar CC, just saw your signature, we have the same GPU. Water cooled? OCed to R9 280x or what?

[SRINI87]

^ That' s R9 290

[Big Boss]

Oh lol I am blind SMH

[CarbonCore]

Yeah 290 OC'd to 1200/1600Mhz, gives me about 12.5k GPU score in Firestrike and 68-70 in Heaven 4.0 (higher than stock 780ti). Switched from Nvidia, couldn't be happier.

[Big Boss]

OK

[Big Boss]

Post pic of your setup in PC setup pic topic. Want to see that water cooling

16 % over 290x improvement in perfomance at just 165 or so watts ,whichever way you look at it ,thats impressive on perf/watt front.

the architecture advantage that nvidia has is pretty evident here.

Yup. The power draw is a big factor. They need to price it sensibly though.

That is like saying that the current crop of Haswell processors have a huge advantage over the Sandy Bridge processors two generations down.

 

The performance / watt has gone up but the actual gains are non-existent.

From fb , a group of PC gamers from all over the world

we all knew what this was going to be and its exactly what Nvidia dished out. Though 970 at that price,seems like a good deal.
