Wow, gtx 780ti sure is a powerful card. How the performance on Ultra setting with 4xaa? I have a friend that is selling me his gtx 780ti cheap, like dirt cheap and thinking of buying it for my self

a sub £400 40% more efficient 2816 shader gpu, that ran at 1400mhz(1800mhzOC) with 8gb of 7000mhz Gddr5 would put a smile on face.

that's 'if' the efficiency of the new 20nm node crosses over to AMD's latest iteration.

That's just rainbows and unicorns hoping there to be honest, not likely to happen in the near future. And I seriously doubt AMD will come out with a new gpu this year.

As requested. Ultra & 4x AA.

I7-3770K @4.6GHz
EVGA GTX 780Ti Superclocked @ (+130Mhz GPU / +247MHz Memory)

If you have an GTX970, I'd forego the 780Ti and go with a second 970GTX if possible. That would destroy a 780Ti.

 

[The N]

if i Crossfire 7950 i will close or equal to 970, but scaling and optimization lacking might be a problem with AMD

Hi Thanks for the score PainfulByte. I think I might going to upgrade my processor first and thinking of getting the processor like yours. That i7 3770k processor is Ivy Bridge if Im not mistaken? May I know your temperature when running Valley benchmark with 780ti SC of yours there? Mine is like 68 - 70 degree celcius on load and 38-39 on idle. My ambient temperature is 34degree.

 

[The N]

my 7950 able to Oced 1500mhz on memory, i wanna go above, i have seen many people with 1800mhz , any suggestion

 

[PainfulByte]

@kurosenpai, The i7-3770k is indeed Ivy Bridge. Mine levels off at 75C when running prime95 with the maximum heat test, which is not too shabby for an Ivy Bridge.

Processor does have a huge impact on Unigine and also 3dMark for that matter.

Cheers

LOL I was actually asking for your gpu temperature. Sorry for not making it clear enough.

Managed to better my 2435 score that I achieved with a 17 930 with a dual core! The dual core was also clocked slower but to be fair the GPU was clocked a bit higher.....

Sapphire R9 280X VapourX @ 1190/1550, Pentium G3258 Anniversary @ 4.2Gig (got the stock cooler on at the moment hence the low clocks as I am waiting for a fan replacement for my H80i)

When I get the H80i up and running again will see what she can do at 4.7 - 4.8gig.

Even for "high", that's still a pretty damn good score
Make no mistake, I used to have a GTX 780 TI and it is definitely a powerhouse

 

[PainfulByte]

My GPU temp flirted with 71C the run I just did @ Ultra 4x AA.

This is with the stock Nvidia cooler that is on the EVGA 780Ti SC.

Personally, I love this cooler. I think it is so much sexier than the ACX version. I love taking out the card to dust it thoroughly and having that massive beast in my hand.

It really is a piece of art. Stock coolers really have come a long way since the day!

My first GPU with cooling on it:

Voodoo 5 6000

 

[D007]

pretty shitty that two 980's perform the same as two 780's.

 

[PainfulByte]

From what I saw in a review, the GTX980 SLI performs at least ~10% more than the GTX780 SLI.

Plus you have the added benefit of the OC headroom everybody is talking about for the 900s.

Maybe its not overwhelmingly more powerful, but I wouldn't say that it sucks.


Edit: Spelling?

 

[Locksmith]

nice score PainfulByte

do we all remember these.. lol

 

[kurosenpai]

I still have the Nvidia Riva TNT2 that I used to game with. Not sure where I put it already. Those days. Still remember upgrading from Pentium 3 to Pentium 4 just to be told the next month that Pentium Dual Core will be released.
I also still remember watching a reps from Intel answering a question from someone regarding how fast is Core 2 Duo compare to Dual Core. He said " Dual Core is like a horse, and Core 2 Duo is like a Ferrari "
LOL

 

[PainfulByte]

But I digress, since the nVidia driver update, my Ultra@4xAA score has dropped 300pts. I can't explain why other than the driver update.

 

[Cuark]

So here's my new GTX980. I was expecting it to beat the Titan.. I don't understand why it has better FPS in games and less in Benchmarks :/

 

[The N]

try overclocking this beast. with good level overclock it can make 90 or more.

Does it really matter?

@purecain
Can not get it higher.. I have now pushed it due to 111% pwr I presume
can you edit me in the list please pal..

@The N hows that OC
GTX 970 MSI Gaming 5
GPU 1568Mhz / 8036Mhz Ram

 

[Cuark]

In a practical matter, no, it does not matter. However I am just curious as to why, yeah the Titan has 2GB of VRAM more, but I don't see how that boosts the score so much on a Benchmark

Friggin' nice mate

try overclocking this beast. with good level overclock it can make 90 or more.

So here's what a couple hundred Mhz on the core and and VRAM plus cranking up the GPU fan can do for you. From 3410 to 3735 pts and +10 on the Max FPS
Regards!

 

[The N]

@Cuark thats is really good, see its all GPU and overclocking. you almost touched 90. this is what i expected, but check upper post to you, guy with 970 overclocked like hell to 970 and almost same as your score. but how much you overclocked your GPU, how much core and memory???

@Locksmith
bro thats heavy overclocking on this Beast. just great. look at your score nearly mounting to 980. i think your gpu's overclocking potential is no more after this, i assume you already play with voltages.

thanks man

yea they up max.. i posted 3dmark in here...

@The N


The difference is that my GTX980 is reference and his 970 is non-reference.
And you guys should be aware that reference cards are not great overclockers. I DO believe I can push my 980 a little further and I will try to do so. I'll also post the results. However, I am happy with this overclock for everyday use. I don't want to stress my card too much. The 980 has amazing overhead, but still, I don't want to stress a reference model too much.

@The N @Locksmith

As promised, I played around with the OC GURU a little more and I was able to achieve exactly 90.0 average fps in Valley. After that. I wanted to know if I can go a little higher and I was able to go just over 90 to 90.2 average fps, however something interesting happened. The MAX fps dropped from 173.6 to 169.8 .. I would assume this is because the card was reaching it's max stable overclock, but I believe I can clock it even a bit higher than the 1311/1400mhz it was when it achieved the 90.2... Buuuut I don't really wanna do that. After all, I have observed that these clocks don't account for GPU Boost, and therefore the actual max clock of the card while gaming is a bit higher.

Anyway, there are the screenshots:
(NOTE: My card is a reference model. I can only imagine what you can achieve with a G1 Gaming GTX980)
