The 290x is how old now? Don't forget that. It's like two gens behind and still keeping up.

Lol we could change this up to a rare profile in ubisoft games or maybe NV gameworks titles but this thread would be deleted after a few minutes.

Erm.
Surely the 290x is still AMD's currant generation, right up until they replace it.
Sure I can can go there, first up the 980 is a mid range part.
How is the 780ti doing against the 280 for example ? Nvidia's old high end part to AMD's mid range newer part ?

Not what I said!
AMDs currant Gen 290x or 295x is still doing well considering its going up against GPUs that are two Gens ahead.

980 isn't mid range though its still there high end GPU. like 295x is AMDs highest end but the 290x is also there High end..
If the 980 is Mid range then so is the 290x
maybe thats bcos 980 has boost which is basically auto overclock and the 290 doesnt, so either turn boost off or overclock them both or its not very fair compare
...as fair as it can be for a card half the price
but anyway performance is good on both, better question is if this game is worth £50
i enjoyed the cars and drivebys but £50? hmhm lol
Ditto.
Erm AMD R9 series supports AMD PowerTune Technology, which is their boost technology. It is why AMD 290x'x show their clock speeds as up to 1000Mhz. that is their boost clock, rather than NVidia advertising the base clock and then the boost clock( which is sometimes very conservative.)
It is just the way they are advertised, not to say that one is better than the other.
Having owned a 290, 290X, 970, 980 and a Titan X myself personally I'd have to agree with you. The benchmarks from these sources are far more accurate and more in line with what I've witnessed myself.

lol i wasnt talking about fair advertising i was talking about a fair compare in benchmarks
i guess they can say its the "out of the box" performance but still, either no overclocks and no boost or both oc'd to the max seems the only fair way
*shrug*
Guru the 980 is 1 FPS faster @ 1440P
Techspot the 980 is 3 FPS faster @ 1600p
They are pretty much the same ^^^^
HARDOCP are using an XFX 290X that throttles like a reference cooled 290X.
These performance figures are always slow as hell when they use that GPU, i think its running at between 850 and 950Mhz once warm.. recently they used a Powercolor PCS+ for BF4, i think it was, it destroyed the XFX performance numbers from previous benchmarks with it.
It also depends on what part of the game they benchmark, unfortunately none of them publish that info now'a days. so no one can check their validity.
