Advise someone looks at varied benches, a 780TI is sometimes slightly less and sometimes same and sometimes faster than 2x670/680's.
Cannot load 2013 GPU's page with 2014 GPU's page so 690 vs 780Ti is near enough.

Pretty sure Fiji isnt a maxwell name btw, Try and stay OT people and not turn this into another nvidia vs AMD thread
4000 GCN cores with the same memory interface/ROPs as Hawaii vs. 4000 maxwell cores with an upgraded memory bus and more ROPs (compared to GK110) wouldn't even be a competition unfortunately.
Right, its not, And Its just a bit of debate![]()
The first GM204 cards will be out by November (this year) at the latest.
NVidia will most likely launch in September to match the Haswell-E/X99 launch.
You'd have thought nvidia would want to have their next cards releasing around the time of Intel's X99 platform, as people who'll be buying into that platform are likely to also be people who'll buy a top end graphics card too.
As for AMD info being off topic, I actually believe it is relevant. If AMD don't release something soon or push nvidia then nvidia will just hold back and when the do release you've got the whole price gouging that then happens too.
Anyhow, my point is holdups for either brand is bad for us as the consumers. Unfortunately issues with TMSC processes etc aren't something they can do much about.
Not me, to be frank, and i don't think AMD will respond in a knee jerk reaction like that, i want AMD to release GPU's when they have refinement and drivers ecte; all just so, when they are good and ready.
Its not AMD's job to hold down Nvidia prices, if a perspective buyer only has eye's for Nvidia then they should pay whatever Nvidia ask and not complain about it.
I just bought my new GPU a few months ago, i'm happy with it for a long while yet.
No I don't mean kneejerk reactions I just mean healthy competition between the two forces progress, keeps prices under control etc. which is good for us the end user.
If maxwell is only delayed due to TMSC then that's ok, not much can be done about that.
