Nvidia 800 series vs AMD 300 series

[Mr.Dirt]

If you guys had to predict which series will be better which would it be?.

Taking into account the features both companies offer Nvidia: Physx (FLEX), Shadowplay, G-sync and geforce Experience.

                                                                                      AMD: TressFX, Mantle, Freesync, intergration with Raptr (and I guess you could add in the mining).

[whatthe_fuzz]

Yes 

[AlwaysFSX]

No no no no no no NO

 

This is NOT a topic that needs to be made.

 

You know what, I want Voodoo to make a comeback, they should win over AMD and Nvidia in 2014.

[M-ursu]

300 series is far away, maybe volta and 300 series will be "same gen."

[joelthezombie15]

nvidida also has shield support. and raptr is annoying and i deleted it so its a con to me.  But high end is nvidia and low  to medium end amd will win so over all with amount of good cards amd will win. 

[Lord Pantaloons]

Nvidia, just like it's been for awhile

[Victor Golf]

No one can tell for sure...

Personally, Nvidia. Even now they are better. Shadow play is outstanding and they have some light works coming out that look revolutionary. AMD will probably be the better 200-250$ card, just like they always are, but Nvidia always holds top card honors.

[mvitkun]

Considering that the R9 290X is pretty close performance wise to the GTX 780 ti,Kepler,and considering the typical performance gains between architectures we should see Nvidia's flagship card have ~15-20% higher performance.

And since the 300 series will be the same architecture it will see a less notable improvement.

So I'd bet on Nvidia having the faster single GPU graphics card for 2014.

[nsyedhasan]

It is just rumors until the cards are announced. We can't say anything about performance. Numbers don't really matter, it is different in the real world.

Actually, if we are assuming that the 800 series will be 20 nm maxwell, then AMD's Pirate Islands series (Rx 3xx) and the 800 series will be releasing pretty much at the same time.

Maxwell is 28nm

[kuddlesworth9419]

Maxwell sounds pretty damn cool to me I. We get unified virtual memory. And Volta sounds even better with stacked DRAM. After that we will probably be getting 3D GPU's so the cores will be stacked on top of one another but that is just a prediction. You call it stacked GPU cores. Just a prediction though. We don't know what the 300 series will have to offer so I would just get the 800 series. personally I am waiting for the 900 series or the 1000 series from Nvidia as my 680 Classified is still all I need plus I want to water cool it and OC it to 1500mhz at least. 

[WoodenMarker]

+1 for Intel HD 9001.

[binman13]

Maxwell is 28nm

nVidia said in a statement that they are done with 28 nm, so either they were lying or Maxwell is 20 nm...

And if it's 28 nm...that'll be a poor performance improvement.

[ChrEW]

I think things will stay the same, NVIDIA at the top and AMD as best price/performance, unless we see a huge performance boost with Mantle. 

[bluedyguard]

inb4 flame war. We don't know how these cards will perform so why bother asking?

Pretty much. We won't know anything till about 3 days after the cards are released.

The stuff I saw about volta having stacked vram on the gpu, so insane.. I think they said something about 1tb/s memory bandwidth or some insane number like that so crazy

[bluedyguard]

Pretty much. We won't know anything till about 3 days after the cards are released.

I think you meant before.

[Osmium]

I think you meant before.

 

I don't trust anything but benchmarks after release. Unless the reviewers are sent the cards a week in advance they usually come out day of release or several days after.

[Gunjob]

Stupid topic, anyone who calms to have any idea on which card will best or even the best perf/price ratio has no idea what they're talking about. Wait for release and then benchmarks. 

[AHaskin14]

Nvidia 800 series, AMD underwent a major renovation with the 200 series that wasnt ncessarily bad but had a few kinks. Perhaps late 300 but likely 400 will be back on par.

[UnderADyingSun]

They'll undoubtedly stay pretty close to eachother, and gpu hardware is likely only to get better incrementally at this point.

 

I'd LIKE to see AMD pull ahead in a general sense, but no one can know. Nvidia fagols, stop citing shadowplay. It's getting old, and likely a selling point for people needing to overcome some deep seeded social insecurities.
