Sorry meant the 7970.

The main point is its only matching a year plus old gpu at the same price point.

cant do better, the node decide pretty much the performance delta.
their driver team seems also to stumble a bit.

My 7970 1200mhz a year later is still going strong.
runs what I do flawlessly.

They should have made the 770 at least a good 10% faster than the 7970GE. It would have been really successful then, a clear no brainer.

I would say it's plenty fast enough already, there are plenty of HD 7970s below whyscotty's lone GTX 770.

You have a HD 7970 and a better CPU than me for benching single cards, can you beat whyscotty's score.:D

Whilst benchmark scores are nice and all, game performance is what matters. Scotty's score is great though, will be interesting to see if any other 770's can get near it.

I am pretty sure he would do equally well in games. The great thing about both the Valley and Heaven benches is it is all about GPU performance. The CPU (providing you have a reasonable one like a 2500k) does very little to influence the out come, there are no physics or combined tests to skew the results.

Lets test that theory. I have some results saved from the 7970 on old drivers.

Time to play and see if I can make that 28 :D

Scotty see if your golden clocking 770 can compete with the 680 slayer at 1250/1823.

I think you should also allow whyscotty to pick a game benchmark as well.

You have got to play Home and Away.:D

Well i guess now is a good a time as any to release some shocking news into the community. The 680 slayer is dead. :eek: :( I woke up one morning and got no display. Sent it back to ocuk and Bailey took one look at it and said it was goosed and sent it back to msi for repair or replacement. One month later nothing from msi so they offered me a refund. So here i am now with £375 7950 crossfire.

I will never forget that 7970, especially the ease with which it dispatched 680's worth up to £450 for the cost of £270.

Benchmarks threads will go Red - Green - Red - Green..... as new generations come and old ones go, before the Titan and 780 it was all Red at the top, its still Red at the top of a given price point, you need a £550 + Green GPU to beat a £300+ Red one that's also 2 years old.


Lets wait for the HD 8970 and see how much Green is still at the top.

True dat but honestly id much rather be top of game performance than some meaningless benchmark. That said though, it would still be nice to be at the top. :p

Matt, I just ran TR with those settings @1200/1800 (CPU @4.5) and got:

58.4
94.0
73.9

I then put shadows to ultra and got:

54.0
81.7
68.1

13.6 (beta 3 I think :confused:).

EDIT: I dunno. There's a different pic in the quote Kaap posted. I give up :p
