Nearly 30% faster than a 7970 in BF3. Looks pretty good, but only 14% in Crysis3 which is probably the most graphicaly heavy game around at the mo. Hmm.

No by a yard it is the most CPU demanding game around, alledgedly.

Maybe at my res they will come into their own, time will tell

I think at your resolution they will do much better.

Exactly this. I wouldn't be giving this a second look if I was at 1080P (even 120Hz). I want to see triple screen results badly...

Hopefully not long till we see something. Good post Subliminal

Well what CPU is he using? It's still a VERY graphics heavy game, it's just also well optimised for CPU usage.

I guess we'll know for sure in an hour though.

Oh yeah!

I was about to go outside to relax with a cheeky cigar but i think ill wait for later this afternoon and see what the benchies are like

That crysis 3 slide is the classic example of why I'll never go multi GPU, sometimes you just dont get the benefit, simple.

It's a bit of an odd result. Is there anyone here with xfire 7970s that has played and benched Crysis3?

Going from the Linus video values here are the % gains @ 1600p over a 680

witcher +58%
metro +59%
BF3 + 62%
Skyrim +1% LOL
FC3 + 47%
Crysis 3 +61%
Crysis +68%

Average +51%

17% in FC3 is not too great either really. Those results make the Ares II look a much better buy.

He didn't even use AA in the Far Cry 3 test.

Gregster · 21 Feb 2013 at 13:10

Good info Pete. I take from that at even higher resolutions, the increases will be even higher

Not doubting that Titan may be the fastest single GPU available, and it may be ideal for people who are running high resolutions, across multi-screens on games that don't scale.

However...
+20% (in the majority of the tests) over a 7970 IS disappointing if these benchmarks are anywhere near accurate

and in the higher res, graphically demanding benchmarks, which people are saying is where Titan will excel - the video was showing an improvement in the range of e.g. 23.8fps for a 7970, 30.7fps for a titan - both still sub 30fps, and not what I would consider playable.

As I've said before I won't be buying Titan, as I am clearly a scrub who cannot afford it. However, just because I won't be buying it doesn't necessarily mean I want it to fail...

IF Titan is much faster, and IF it is not a limited availability publicity stunt product, then AMD would be worried, and release something to compete - benefiting us all AMD or NVIDIA fans... Competition is normally good for everyone.

Yes, thank you: I'm not stupid I'm quite capable of reading without the aid of bold text.

My only issue is that absolutist statements based on value for money is missing the point really. Of course it's a factor but not the most important thing on this card in particular. I don't see any reliable triple screen benches yet either so... we'll know more at 2PM.

Impressive gains and I'd expect OC'd is where the Titan will shine and they give more headroom under water. Want to see some OC'd results badly

One problem I see with them graphs the farcry 3 and metra result pulll near the same fps last time I played metro was way more demanding the far cry 3 :confused:

Jas1222 · 21 Feb 2013 at 13:14

Got caught up in the Sony event I totally forgot about the Titan benches!

Boomstick777 · 21 Feb 2013 at 13:14

The leaked results so far show the kind of performance I would have expected from the next generic $499 GTX 780. This is supposed to be an enigma of a card. A new tier above.. So far the performance doesn't justify this cards title or price..

I hope the reviews can show this card in a better light. Atm it looks like Nvidia have gone nuts with the price, trying to take advantage of there being nothing else new a year after the 6XX series launched...

Fingers crossed the official reviews show why this card is worth $1000.

Far Cry 3 runs like garbage on NVIDIA cards in my experience

Assuming everything in the video was right, you'd expect 50% gains in a generation? Not usually how it is these days (maybe the 8800GTX did but I can't recall the %'s).

A good gain over a 680, but it is going to cost 100% more. This should have been priced between the 680 and 690.

gbgt2 · 21 Feb 2013 at 13:18

I want to see some SLI benchmarks before I decide

Going from the Linus video values here are the % gains @ 1600p over a 7970

witcher +30%
metro +31%
BF3 + 40%
Skyrim +26%
FC3 + 21%
Crysis 3 +16%
Crysis +39%

Average +29%

So from the vid 50% above 680 and 30% over 7970 @ 1600p before o/c

straxusii · 21 Feb 2013 at 13:20

Should have been priced same as GTX580 at launch!

If true that would indicate then that the 7970 was a ghz edition card. Will find out for sure at 2pm.
