4 Titans @stock
3930k @4.6 using only 4 cores and 8 treads
v the best 4 card result for a 4770k
4 GTX 780s
4770k @4.6
http://www.3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/7210231/3dm11/7210132
What is interesting is the 4770k beat me slightly on graphics score even though I came out on top in all but one of the tests.
With overall score I came out on top even though I was only using 4 cores.
The point is I can also over clock quite a bit higher than the 4.6ghz used here.

I was not expecting my 4 cores to win on efficiency.
There are a few Haswell results using 3 cards that score slightly higher than the 4 card result here.

These are the comparison tables from the leaked review which show 30% gains over various cards.
SOURCE
.
These tables are not showing performance gains over cards. The first 3 are showing how big a hit each card takes when adding in aa so lower is better. The last 3 are showing how big a hit each card takes when moving up to a higher resolution so again lower is better. The results clearly show that the new amd card takes less of a hit.
There is some truth to this. The "Titan" supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory has 18,688 GTX Titan GPUs, each one fed by a 16-core AMD Opteron 6274 CPU (Bulldozer).
Seems reasonable that if they factor 16 cores at 2.2 GHz per GPU to avoid bottlenecks then you'll need a VERY fast quad or hex to keep up with multiple GPUs.

Run BF3 with 6core without HT and with.
3dmark are so designed to skew numbers so much I rather have a good multithreaded game to view results from.
In any indication this is where we start seeing major differences with multi gpu set ups and cpu.
Ah I see what your saying, it could very well be that you are correct and that is what these charts are showing, it does seem to be a completely useless set of charts if that is the case. A chip that is 8 months newer uses roughly 2% less grunt to apply AA or increase resolution, whoopy doo.
So looking at the other charts in that review is thereabouts a 10% lead or more would you say?

In the benchmarked games i would say its between 5-10 faster than a titan. Titan does get a few wins though. Titan also wins in heaven and 3dmark. I guess it's still better to wait for the launch to see what's what though.

I still don't get why it's being compared to a card that came out 7 months ago, that's a long time in the tech world. Comparing it to a 780 is sort of ok but still they've had 3-4 months to make sure it beats it. I'd actually be very surprised and disappointed in AMD if it didn't.
So before these leaks, people were saying it wouldn't be able to beat a Titan and might not even match a 780. Now after the leaks, people are saying the Titan's so old, it's nothing special beating it.
Your new to the circus of the Nvidia/AMD?
Didnt you know anything goes, no rules, no hold bars, if a card is faster even if its overcocked to the teeth and speeded up by blowing on it and compared to a default lowered even underlocked card, its means its faster and I am right.
The 290x is the new King in town.
owning a King is big, my 7970 is soon loosing that title.

I think people will be amazed if it beats out a Titan because the titan chip is 30% larger and we are still on 28nm. Titan also cost's you a small fortune for the pleasure of owning one where as this card should be half decently priced when compared.
I said the same thing weeks back when people were comparing, it's not exactly special being able to beat a card that came out over half a year ago, technology moves fast.

If this comes in at £450 or thereabouts and bumps the titan off the top spot as the fastest GPU, then AMD gets all my respect for not robbing the consumer. Priced over £500 and I won't be to ecstatic.
This to be honest. If it is £400 im going to have to seriously stop myself selling my two 670's and buying one!
If it is over £550 it will get a big fat "meh" from me though.
anyone else going to be scouring the MM tomorrowhehe
Doubt people will sell up that quickly, it will be mid October I'd imagine before we can buy them, not many people can go without a card for that long.
