Radeon R9 290X Against GeForce GTX TITAN
Yesterday at two Asian sources some benchmarks popped up on the Radeon R9 290X versus GeForce GTX TITAN. The content originates from PCOnline.com.cn. The benchmarks show extremely interesting stuff but do need to be taken with a grain of salt in terms of validity and perhaps early clocked samples.
The R9 290X performs seriously well in 3DMark: FireStrike as well as Metro: Last Light in others the perf seems to be in-between a GTX 780 and Titan. If all this is correct, not bad huh ? Have a peek:

Just to dish NVIDIA with Price/Performance.
NVIDIA got nothing to worry about, everything about them is more superior than AMD. Specialy the Drivers.
Thats BS! AMD drivers have been great of late. I've had my fair share of issues with nVidia.

It's gotten better over the years, especially for crossfire support. I'll give credit where it's due.
All AMD needs is good driver support... Oh wait, that's never gonna happen.

nvidia drivers are also a bit problematic recently. Especially for 560ti users.

It does sound like jealousy.
Reading driver threads it looks like AMD's drivers are better than Nvidia's now.
Not that I personally have had any issues.
These leaks look similar to what I'm expecting, faster than titan in Amd optimised games but slower in Nvidia optimised ones.
50% faster than a stock 770/680 is quite impressive, even with a massive overclock, the issue is if that is the norm or those are hand picked cards that actually do nearly hit 100c.
Hope not, hot and noisy is an instant no buy for me

Words of a wise man.
My experiences have always been the same with both, periods of calm waters, periods of sinking, then hopping ship. it'll always be the same and I'll probably always switch from one t'other

RPGgamesplayer you enjoy the show? Instead watching tell us why you bought Titan X2 to replace your 780 X2?
Not a smart thing to do...

Well we will see what nvidia next move is...they really need to bring prices down (all of it) to match AMD or there won't be a competition.
Nvidia has a big enough user base that they don't need to worry very much.
Unless AMD can keep this up for another generation, there will still be no solid competition.
I'm very glad to see this, we need more of this.
Just to dish NVIDIA with Price/Performance.

This was true about a year ago, not so much anymore.
