GPU Bench Overview Table

[Phixsator]

Ive put together a table with data from 3 bench sites on the most relavent(objectively) GPUs for me to purchase to help me make up my mind and i thought i would share it incase it might help someone else. This is only for 1080p gamers.

Hope it might be useful to someone else than just me.

Well im planning on expanding the spreadsheet further. But there is just so much info to sort through. Im not surprised if some of the review results are off. Next im thinking of finding of Toms review(even though i dont like Toms) and hardwarecanucks.

And Ltmatt you have to also consider the CPU clock of your system versus theirs.. you are running with an average of 600mhz higher.. im not saying its the sole reason for the differences but im sure it will give you a few extra on top.

Very nice work.

I'd be inclined to change that shade of blue to something lighter.

Noted

Maybe the inner workings of the card, but if you check the reviews, It goes:

760->670->680->770.

Also some OC'd 670's trade blows with a 680 easily, so it's not very nice of you to skip such a powerful card with an excellent price to performance ratio.

Edit: Now that we are at it, someone mentioned a throttling problem on cards. However, you should either compair cards at stock with stock drivers, or OC'd with tweaks. If it only performs as OC'd or tweaked (From what I read, you need to use afterburner and/or registry tweaks to fix the throttling) it has no place in a non-OC table of things.

You do realize right as i already wrote in the OP that this table was for myself and i WOULD NEVER ever consider a 600 series card. The 680 is only there for reference. Second these numbers are taken from various sites so i have to work with what i have and therefor cannot fairydust some results into existence.

The 7950 in this test is the reference with the boost 925 core bios and i have never seen that throttle. Only the broken sapphire edition(with a default vddc of 1225!!!!!) have i seen have throttle issues.

And after the OP you wrote you are planning to expand the table, hence the expansion suggestions and ideas.

And no, I did not know you would NEVER EVER consider a series 600 card if you had one in the table already.

Calm down sir.

Im very calm *starts humming*

Note: the expansion was towards more review sites not more cards as it makes little sense considering every OC model out there since this is not about brands but models etc 760 vs 770 not gigabyte OC vs msi lightning. Hope it makes sense and i understand that it isnt very clear from the spreadsheet itself at this point.

Good work!!

670 will sit above a 760 below 680, depending what 670 & 680's were used the difference could be minimal at best.

This is why I'm finding it hard to pick my next gpu, 780 is far over priced and the rest all sit in the same perf bracket, then have to weigh up slower bus and 3dvison vs higher bus and no 3d...

I know im going to say something very terrible here but ive actually been using TriDef a bit and in some games the depth is actually so much better than 3dvision, like in skyrim. But at this point i dont care about 3d due to all the issues it has (cross talk being the most annoying of all). VR is the thing to go for when its ready

 

[Phixsator]

Only thing with tridef is the other monitor I'd have to track down and then add to the cost. If amd's cards are too fast/cheap to turn down I may try some form of hybrid setup and just fire up my 670 when I want to try 3d.

Its never easy spending money is it

Edit: if you want a wider choice of cards on certain benches check out anandtech's gpu bench, though I couldn't confirm if they are still showing amd results pre 12.11

Thats the major problem when looking at these benchmarks sites. A lot of them doesnt update their scores when a new major driver comes out. Its a nightmare sorting through all that info. I sometimes dream about winning the lottery(like every other guy) and then do some proper benching of current and last gen hardware.

7950s without +20% power limit is limited

not mine dude. it runs and runs and dont give a damn.
