AMD 290 (non-x) vs Watercooled 7970 - 3DMark Result

Thanks to 'primouf'

He did some 290 3dmark runs here : http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1515052

So, (left) Primouf's Stock 290 (non-x) @ 947/1250 vs (right) My Watercooled 7970 @ 1360/1860

The result indicates that the 290 is one hell of a card out of the box !

Your 7970 at 1360 is flipping blazing.

Yeah, she is definitely a screamer, what's more impressive is that the 290 does all that, out of the box, heaven knows what they are going to do underwater. A 40% overclock over stock implies a 14k graphics score.

I only noticed after I pasted the screenshot, I have asked him to re-run.

That score in 3DMark is pretty damned impressive for those clocks. This card could be a beast and surpass its bigger brother in quite a few scenarios (Like the 780 does the Titan).

Thanks for sharing these bench score Primouf

Stock Titan speeds for £450? (+ 350 + 100 for the block).
