harry90This card could be equal to 780Ti kingpin if not better. This is mine with just the core overclocked to 1150. Overall score depends on the CPU so cant really compare it with a 780TI using Intel i7 cpu.

the54thvoidYou can use the gfx score for comparisons. My Titan at 1150MHz gets 5711 on extreme. My Titan is clock for clock, slower than a 780Ti (but faster than a 290X). The Kingpin (or Classified) will run way faster than I can touch. I think the 780Ti Kingpin/Classified is going to be faster, although the price of it would make most a wee bit queasy. Also, for giggles, the power draw of a GK110 with all cores at 1200-1300MHz is really, really high.

harry90eventually I don't think a gamer will notice the difference between your card or mine, these are just synthetic numbers. but you paid $1000 for titan card vs 290x $560.

the54thvoidI completely agree that you wont notice the fps in most games. In either case, your card will perform better in one or two games coded better for AMD and my card will work better in Nvidia titles. I've also had my card since early March, NINE months ago. It's a bit funny how people forget that. Back then, it was the single most powerful gpu by a long shot (and as i'm tired of saying - it replaced crossfired 7970's that cost me the same price but performed worse in some games).
If I did not have my Titan, I would have bought a 290X as soon as the water blocks came out for it. Although, the 780 Classifieds also dropped to the same price as 290X, so I'd have bought one of those instead.

You've got to remember as well that the Titan price is as it is because it is the K20X compute card with ECC and some other driver related things missing. Titan can't ever be sold cheaply - it would piss off the HPC market that pay several thousand dollars for a K20X, which for all intents is the same card I own.

But, back on topic - It's very good to see that the Lightning is having better outputs. They ruined the 7970 version for having no dual DVI and relying on HDMI and display port that required more investment.

I think this gen's big fight will be the Classified or Lightning version of the 780Ti versus the Lightning 290X

harry90well said I agree. here is the result with cpu pushed higher and memory oc on 290x. CPU matters a lot on overall score not so much on graphic.

the54thvoidCool :rockout:

Firestrike loves the Reds! Mind you, your bandwidth is a silly 384, mines at 7000MHz is only 336.

Still, my old overpriced card performs admirably. Now if you want to bench Unigine Valley... :p
