These are the comparison tables from the leaked review which show 30% gains over various cards.

This is the one that I can not get my head round
LtMatts overclocked HD 7970 beating a R9 290X on this with a higher graphics score. The card they were using was supposed to be overclocked too.

Stop bringing that up, you know it gets me every time.

You were not even using a 4770k like they were either, what were you running your card on, nitro.

None of them are overclocked are they
Oh come on you knew full well i was talking about single GPU's. Then everyone started barking about the 7990
. Nvidia have an equivalent to that, the 690 so i don't see how you can compare the 7990 to the Titan fairly whether it be in terms of the market or the cost. Besides, we all know the cost is irrlevant as Nvidia somehow managed to convince people to buy a graphics card that cost £800 and sold it in droves! ( madness in my opinion but if you have the money, well i guess you dont mind)
My point was that Titan has been unchallenged, single GPU wise, for 8 months and that is the reason nvidia has been able to charge such an obscene price.

How long would i have to wait for these cards? Will it be a long while before they are out and i can actually buy one? Kinda desperate for some sort of graphics at the moment

I am very relaxed, but thank you for your consideration
i like the gif
definitely says titan there, yes the charts to me are confusing but it is either 30% faster or 30% slower unless they have just used some random numbers and wording to make us all confused as hell.

Yeh, its pretty weird. It doesnt really seem to make sense.

I'm glad you said that, I was just about to report him for a rather serious personal attack. It will give him the chance to remove it.

you should know matts cards have that extra 15 percent speed before even being turned on
Just wait another day and we'll have a better idea. I think we can assume worst case is equal or slightly slower/faster than a titan. Anything else will be a bonus. Main thing is the price. Keep it under £500 and offer a good games package, release the Eyefinity frame pacing drivers at the same time and they'll come up trumps.
Ah jeez Bru. Why have you gotta take everything so seriously all the time.
I can't remove what Jono has quoted im afraid. I'd like to think Jono knew it was just a bit of fun.

Its ok, AMD will probably have the fastest single GPU soon and then he will be all smiles.

Exactly with other issues that Kaapstad has pointed out, something isn't quite right. Now that is an awful lot of effort to do a review like that that isn't at least somewhat accurate, unless its a complete fabrication which I somewhat doubt.
the card will probably be about same as a titan just cheaper.
take a look at a 7970 probably about 10-15 percent on top that puts it around those cards being mentioned.
price is what matters now ass gouging first week i think maybe 600 dropping down to 500 after a month.
