Two things people here seem to be forgetting: 1. The GTX 690 is a dual GPU board. The 780Ti is a single-GPU. While that doesn't necessarily make the 780ti worth getting (if you already own a 690), it's actually a lot better than people are giving it credit for. 2. We still don't have benchmarks of the R9 290X with a proper cooling system. We don't know how much more potential that has because of having to down-clock itself due to heat.

290 wins for me this round. I can get one for £100 less than a 780 ti with a waterblock. No brainer... and yeah custom coolers will make a difference..

From another review Max OC'ed 780GTX is a little faster then stock 780TI (~ 133fps), now OC 780TI to the max and you get this http://i.imgur.com/1NrFQMr.gif http://i.imgur.com/VXXgevA.gif So ~ 18fps boost for extra 200€.. Imo 550€ max would be ideal for this 780Ti. Now I really wonder how custom R9-290 preforms once OC'ed

A shame it doesn't have more vram, other than that, it's a monster card. I would really SLI 2 of them, but I'll hold out for the next generation.

Great review, great time for gamers in the market for a new gpu. I like what I'm seeing here, if I didn't just get a 2nd 7950 a week ago, I would be considering the 780ti very much. Imo for anyone on a gtx 680 or below, this is a nice card, and it's reasonably priced too. It would be a toss up between this and a custon 290 if I was choosing now, the 290 costing around £200 less over here but only performs a fraction worse. To add to cowie's request, and I did ask this earlier Hilbert, I'd love to see graphics scores added for the 3Dmark benches. If possible. @Solfaur - you're fine, no need to jump on this, your setup is good for a while 🙂 stop that itch.

Ill stick with my 780 classified sli as I don't see the price difference worth it if your gaming 1600p or under... thanks for review

it would be a waste for you to upgrade to 780ti sli, unless you really have the money to spunk. I'm sure 780 sli is running everything ok 🙂

FOLKS IN THE MARKET FOR ONE WON'T BE COMPARING IT TO AMD, THEY'LL BE COMPARING IT TO THEIR CURRENT SETUP TO SEE IF UPGRADE WORTHY, FROM A 680 UPgRADE IS WORTHY WITHOUT ANY DOUBT. wow caps people sry. I use caps while gaming. 🙁

so much fidelety you have to the green team to say that :infinity:

Great review, Hilbert. One pays a lot more for the perfomance edge the 780TI has over the 290X, though.

...Imo for anyone on a gtx 680 or below, this is a nice card, and it's reasonably priced too." stop that itch.

So which you leave in between that 2 models? The only reason to jump now to next gen is using multimonitor or UHD. I have 7970 and like another guy how owns a 680 we can run BF4 maxed out at constant 60 fps...if i had more money to waste....yeeeah :wanker: And hey its quite overpriced Uh i forgot...neat review Hilbert!

going by the price of this thing custom 290x here I come. But awesome card and good review as always :P funkiest thing about reading these reviews is how ridiculously fast 7990 is 😀

If the performance would have been closer to 690 (=680SLI) it would definitly have been worth the upgrade. And then of course getting another one when the wallet has recovered.

From another review Max OC'ed 780GTX is a little faster then stock 780TI (~ 133fps), now OC 780TI to the max and you get this http://i.imgur.com/1NrFQMr.gif http://i.imgur.com/VXXgevA.gif So ~ 18fps boost for extra 200€..

This is interesting. If it's that close to 690 while OCed (and the card DOES seem to like to be OCed) it's more relevant to upgrade.

A shame it doesn't have more vram, other than that, it's a monster card. I would really SLI 2 of them, but I'll hold out for the next generation.

Agreed, 4GB would have been perfect.

He wants to upgrade, just like me 😀 I'm having a hard time repressing my urge to drive to the nearest store and pick one up. Just for the joy of holding a brand new card (and having the most powerful Single-GPU card once more). But like I mentioned in my previous posts, is a bit too much wasted money per FPS. Actually it's a downgrade for me but I'm trying to see it long term...that I'll go SLI like always down the road. But if I do downgrade, I do not want to loose too much FPS, which I seem to do now.

I currently have 2x5870's, but I'm still using PCIe 2.0, but I want to upgrade to a single card with more VRAM (because my 5870's only have 1GB, and it seems to be causing occasional issues in BF4). ...But I only game at 1080p, and will be doing so for a long time... Would the 290 be overkill? I could probably sell my 5870's for ~$100 each.

Is NV really that desperate for that crown! :bang: The R9-290X with aftermarket coolers will steps all over the 780TI (few Extreme OC Edition R9-290 will looked back and smile at the 780 series). As spec., the crown is NV, but the real jewel would be the Hawaii series! Nonetheless, they alls good! There is no such thing as bad GPU, it only bad when reference to value and the price. Gotta give that to AMD! It's all good to us all. But special thank to AMD for the FU.. PRICES GO.DA.. it! Have FUN! No, SERIOUSLY! <--Errrggg ... FUN ~ SERIOUS! !@@#$ wtf
