improvements over 780ti if any ?

[MasterOC]

Hey guys , New to these forums... see nothing but great things and great advise.

So ive just got ridof my 780ti ( inno3d DHS ) which boosted to 1188mhz, It was a beautiful monster , and clocked fairly okay, 1288mhz on the core & 7600mhz on mem. but not matter what I did I just couldn't push 6000 in firestrike extreme. topped out at 5971 . http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2832623 .

Ive pre-ordered the 980 ( Inno3d AIR BOSS ) boosts to something like 1360 @ stock. am I likely to see any improvements? In terms of framerates or score

Anyone like to take a guess at what clocks im likely to reach ? I know the B1 revision on the GK110 helped reduce power consumption and leakage

Also it appears it again just like my old card it uses the reference board. my clocks on the 780ti maxed until voltage relaibilty became a problem which then I backed off . do you think pure power draw orvoltage reliability will cap my overclocks on this card? 75+75+75w dosnt sound like a lot of headroom even with Maxwell to me.

my stock scores are below

From what I've heard, there's not much of a performance gain at all from 780ti to 980.

Not only performance, but an extra GB of vram and newer features like full Direct X12 support etc, much lower power consumption and an even sexier cooler / backplate

Well reason being as I am coming from pretty much the fastest out the shop overclocked ti , I want to make sure the next card will be A little faster even if its only 1 or 2 frames... I only game at clocks it's shipped with but run higher clocks for benching so that's where I want to see the improvement not nessasarily gaming performance , so I'm comparing 1188MHz it vs 1367mhz , is that enough of an increase in clock rate to net me at something . I know we can't do apples to apples etc but roughly speaking.

hardly worth the hassle imo.

Horses for courses pal . It's worth the 100quid difference i payed for the next 6 months to tide me over till the big guns are out. Some people pay much more over the course on the waz

 

[drex69]

Yeah, people can throw some serious cash at this so called hobby....me included

Don't think there is much in it between your card and a 980, but hey, if you
want a new card to play around with, an extra GB of Vram, and some new features,
then why not.

At stock and with both overclocked the difference will be just 5-10%. This will be almost unnoticeable within anything other than benchmarks.

IMO an upgrade from a 680/770 or 79xx/280X is probably worthwhile. An upgrade from a good clocking 780 or 290 is largely pointless unless you really want to hunt big benchmark scores. At the moment DX12 support is only marginally more important than DX13 support.

it's all about those score baby , yeah I knew it would be seriously close ... but just seeing what light can be shed. I mean if it's one point extra on firestrike so be it, but just hopeing I get lucky. Dx means naff all to me until I'm seeing it used in benches or games to bench in comparison to dx11 / 11.3 .

so if the 980 is actually better then why are the benchmark threads on these very forums still dominated by 780 ti's and titans.

 

[Quartz]

What you will see is a much reduced power usage.

Once again.. I'm in 6th position, look at the CPU clocks and use on LN2 above my score . The 980 still doing a good job, these cards are beasts ! Get one enjoy it, replace when better stuff comes along, no need to dwell between each release to much

thanks boom, the reason i ask is, i was going to get another 780ti ghz edition, and sli them both, but now my son has just offered to buy the 780 so im toying with selling up and getting a 980 now, and hopefully a second next month for sli 980's.
