7990 vs Gtx 780

[Hazy125]

What would you rather have and why

[Godlygamer23]

780 until AMD's CrossfireX issues are solved. I'd probably still get a 780 though for PhysX on the GPU, and Adaptive Vsync(though people have created third party options for AMD called Dynamic Vsync.

Gtx 780. 

 

CUDA.

 

Rendering and stuff.

780, cheaper and close to if not the same performance as 7990

[RainbowTylernol]

7990 just to be a hipster.

[NewHopeTech]

7990 because I will take microstuttering if the performance is better.

No contest, HD 7990. I was looking at getting a GTX 780 until I saw the performance numbers and price tag. On average the GTX 780 pulled 5-15FPS more in games then a HD 7970. That in my opinion is not worth the $150 dollar msrp increase especially when I see HD 7970 skirt into the sub $400 range, not to mention AMD is including there 8 game bundle with the HD 7990. I kind of think this is an unfair comparison to be honest as the HD 7990 is a Dual gpu card and in games that can leverage the two gpu cores the HD 7990 will stomp a GTX 780 or even a Titan. If a game does not support multi gpu then you are only out 5-15fps since you still have one core being used. With most graphically intense games nowadays though they are fairly multi-gpu friendly, if a game does not support multi-gpu, it is typically an older game or is a game tht dosent require the power of a top end GPU in the first place. From a price/performance ratio the GTX 780 is completely pitiful in all regards against a HD 7970 and a HD 7990.

I'd still get the 780 over the 7990 since I have always stuck to single GPUs and I'll stand by my words.

in my case, i stay with the "Malta 7990" 6GB   :wub:  (i am a big fan of this GPU)

[TechFan@ic]

Well, I usually go for single GPU solutions because of the known advantages to that, you don't have to worry about SLI/CrossfireX support for BETA games for example, & you don't have to worry about Nvidia sponsored games not properly implementing CrossfireX or AMD Sponsored games not properly implementing SLI so on & so forth.
So I would personally go with a non reference 780 with a custom cooler & OC it.

[iSuzak]

i would take a 7990, just to show off.

[xAcid9]

I take both and make 780 as dedicated physx card.

[Akula]

780 Single

7990 Dual

 

I'll take the 780 thanks.

Would be fun to own a 7990 but i would have to buy a more high end PSU for that, my corsair tx650 would not be good enough, so 780 for me, but i would be reluctant about it, and try to save up a bit for the PSU and The 7990
