Mantle vS 780Ti in BF4

Techreport became a joke quite some time ago.

Posting benchmarks showing a review sample 290x 4% faster in the biggest difference in 3 tests, NOT stating this percentage(you have to actually compare the numbers yourself) with the only percentage they state in the conclusion saying review samples were 5-10% faster(from memory, it was at least that but they may have said 10-15%)..... that was the day I gave up on Techreport. It wasn't that it was negative, it was that they went out of their way to lie. They didn't even take the fastest review card and the slowest retail card and compare those. They just made up a number higher than the differences they actually showed in their numbers and failed to say one of their review samples was slower than 1(or maybe 2) of the 3 retail cards... yet concluded that all review samples were 10+% faster.

Joke site, paid for and bought.
 
The 290x is a great piece of kit but the 780ti just seems to edge it, I have never owned an nvidia card but credit where it is due to nvidia for the ti. If Amd had shipped a top end cooler on the 290x and allowed it to boost like it supposed to threads like this would be academic, at least for air use.

I think overall it (780TI) probably does edge it. But performance wise, they're close. Price wise, not so close.

Is it worth the extra £100 though?..
 
AMD and NVidia both make fantastic GPU's and personally I don't see why anyone would hate on one side or the other. They both have their respective pros and cons and what ever you choose at the end of the day you will have a quality GPU.

Green and red can coexist in harmony :)
 
I think the titan users have had their value for money as nearly a year later they are still in the top 4 cards performance wise even after amd released the 290.

If i could have justified paying the 800+ pounds i would have got one.

If the reference cooler and problems the 290 has or had for the last few months had been made of better quality, i also would have bought one sooner rather than later to only then find out mine was faulty.
 
The amount of arguments in here with regards to Mantle, it is believable, this thread alone is witness to that, never mind the rest.:p

I din't moan at the nuclear fusion plant coolers etc, that boom/greg put up in the forum for the 290's, it's a bit of humour-that's sorely needed right now.:)
 
I think everyone needs to remember that people ALWAYS promote what they have, i have a friend who wont buy anything other than an MG Rover, to him they are the Dogs bawls (much to the amusement of those around him), every week hes pulling the damned thing appart because its leaking something or s omething fell off , but he's an enthusiast and passionate about what he does.

This is a forum full of people who want to push the boundaries of their PC's, and as such its a competative enviroment, people just need to remember that its fun and not chuck their toys about so much :)
