How to convince myself to go red

A bit too much mincing going on here for my liking...

I can mince your titan score on Unigine valley.

EDIT

Having looked at the score, maybe not mince, but certainly beat.

I was talking in the plural.

@LtMatt

My single Titan challenges your mincing HD 7950s to a duel at these settings.

Do you accept the challenge.

your idea of normal or unrealistic is not the same as mine, many people take the correct steps to keep their hardware cool

I actually game on my cards for hours at a time and they never throttle due to heat as I have my cooling set up to prevent that from happening

as I said, I don't care if someone else has heat management issues, when I look at purchasing a card I want to know what it is capable of when you remove backround heat as an issue (as it's one I never have)

And your idea of normal or unrealistic is not the same as mine and others will disagree with both of us. I have an Antec 900 with 3 input and 4 output fans that keep my CF 7950s @1100/1550 at 34c idle and 70c under load. So I know fine well how to build a PC with sufficient airflow. That doesn't mean I should deem any review that uses a system built on a workbench outside a case to be a realistic setting in the least.

You are not up for a little challenge at the resolution I posted, you should win easy shouldn't you ?

You ain't tricking me into that lower resolution malarky with your 6 core cpu.

6 cores make no difference on the Valley bench, in fact they are at a slight disadvantage compared to a quad core.

Don't forget I am the one with the single card here.

Come on what are you afraid of.

If you can beat the score ive posted ill consider it, otherwise i don't see the point.

Ok so try 2x7950 vs 1xTitan in 3D gaming.
I bet titan will mince those radeons no problem. Cause 3d scaling sucks with multi gpu.

There are three GTX 770s on the heaven bench thread that are above my Asus Matrix Platinum HD 7970 (which allows overvolting up to 1.4v). My HD 7970 in turn sits above all the HD 7950s, I would say the GTX 770s are quite capable of seeing off all the HD 7950s and most of the HD 7970s.

Your argument is busted

You really should give NVidia cards credit where they deserve it, despite your dislike for NVidia.

Remember the Heaven 4 bench is more demanding on GPU graphics performance than any of the other benches.

My argument isn't busted because you're talking about heaven, it's a benchmark that isn't representative of game performance.

It is very representative of GPU performance with minimal influence from the CPU.

This is the reason the HD 7970s did it all over the GTX 680s, it showed the faster card in the best light.

IIRC as well the GTX 770 seems to be doing more than ok against the HD 7970 on the review sites where they do use games.

I really think you should give NVidia credit for coming up with a very good card.
