JayzTwoCents's Gigabyte G1 970 performs more or less like a 780. Some review sites have their 970 beats the crap out of 780 Ti. I wonder if Linus and JayzTwoCents got bad cards or what. 

 

Linus and Jay are comparing to OC'd cards.

So it's OC'd 970 vs OC'd 780, apple to apple. Thanks. :D

The benchmark should have oc as well as stock. You have to have a control. Not all OC's are the same either. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

I disliked this video because that strange hiccup thing when showing each game benchmarked.  I don't like whatever your editor did to the video.  That effect made me feel like I was going to seizure.  Did anyone else feel that way when watching this video?

 

As for the card eh I could probably find reasons to get it but can't afford it so who cares.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Guys, you mention the overclocking google doc in the video, but didn't add it to the 970 video description in youtube. (might want to add it)

I got it off the 980 review though: http://bit.ly/11GiSHA

 

Also:

- What are the effects of longterm GPU overclocking in reality... do they age / break down quicker?

- What was the power consumption difference [W] between an overclocked and a non overclocked 970 / 980 ?

 

It would be nice to see an overclock advice of these cards:

Is it worth the extra ('xx'%.... or something) in performance for an extra power draw of 'yy' Watt and chance of the GPU breaking down within 'zz' years...

Although the zz would be hard to determine i guess...

They tested the new gpu and put those numbers in theire old graphs from 1 yr ago.

So this means diffrent test systems, diffrent driver versions and what not.

So you can basicly trow them into the toilet.

 

If you wanne have vallid compairissons, then you need to test all cards again, on the same system.

With the newest drivers from both AMD and Intel.

 

If i look at these benchmarks, then the GTX970 is still not a R9-290 killer.

Because the 290 is totaly on par with it.

Not to mention like i said, those numbers from the GTX780 and AMD R9-290 (x) are old numbers, from reference cards, at a totaly diffrent test system, with old drivers...

 

so yeah....

No problem, in Jay's video he has stock and OC. Linus is all OC.

I agree.

 

They have a large room for improvement when it comes to the benchmark portion of these vids.

JayzTwoCents's 780 was water cooled from his built while the GTX970 was on air.

All this talk of Maxwell's performance has gotten me extremely curious on how AMD responds with the R90 380X and 390X

Juries are still out how much more overclocking 970 can do with watercooling. Since the card doesn't generate that much heat compares to 780. It's possible there may not be as much headroom as the 7xx series. 

 

Look back at how Nvidia markets their cards. It feels a bit strange if 970 can easily beat even 780 Ti. Seems more logical 970 replaces 780, thus similar performance, and positioned slightly below 780 Ti. While 980 is the new king. 

 

Most review sites have one or two sample. When it comes to testing and benchmarking, sample variation comes to play. Also some people may be over enthusiastic, over hyped. I'd rather wait and see until more people get their hands on the new cards, then the picture will be more clear.

:lol: You know ties make the best present.

No. I fu**ing hate getting ties. 

 

You know what's even worse? Tools. Not just any tools. The tools that you already have. Like wrenches. I like my ratcheting Craftsman's, I don't need any of those Chinese knockoffs.

The sad part is that I got the same set of wrenches three years in a row. It's so bad.

In every other benchmark set I've seen, the GTX 970 STRIX has destroyed the 780... They were overclocked as well... How did this turn out so badly?

I think their 780 or 780Ti (can't remember which) was a beast of an overclocker.

His 780 also had hacked bios, iirc.

Anyone who has a sister hates the fact that his sister isn't Kasugano Sora.
Anyone who does not have a sister hates the fact that Kasugano Sora isn't his sister.
I'm not insulting anyone; I'm just being condescending. There is a difference, you see...
