Yep its very close with both at stock. Slight advantage for the 780TI at /1080p/1440p/1600p and trading blows at 4k.

Now to see what 290 AIB cards can do. I expect we're in for one or two more twists before 20mm.

Nanometer is a billionth of a meter Matt

milimeter is a million of a meter Matt
 
The 20mm die shrink sounds interesting for power consumption and heat. Please tell me more.
 
LOL. :D

+1

The 780TI it 5 or 7% faster than the 290X.

This with the 290X on a ref- cooler thats throttling it, and a memory clock of 1250Mhz

It has 1500Mhz rated Memory IC's on it, why they set it up to run at 1250 i don't know but they did the same thing with early Tahiti chips.

Board partners or later revisions should run at 1500Mhz brining the memory bandwidth up to 384Gbs

An AIB cooler will allow it to run consistently at 1Ghz or perhaps a bit higher with a factory overclock.

I would like to see someone put 1750Mhz rated IC's on it, that would bring the Bandwidth to a whopping 448Gbs :eek:

I like 780TI, i respect it, but its not a 290X killer, far from it. i'm not hearing any fat lady in a tent singing yet. ;)
