NVidia Claims GTX 760 to Outperform HD 7950

Good day to all who read this forum post. I'm just going to go straight to the point now. NVidia claims that their GTX 760 which is $250USD on Amazon to not only barely outperform the HD 7950 retailing at $300USD, but by a significant amount. I say these claims to be false.

After the release of the GTX 760, I have went to Annandtech, Linus and many other sources to look on how the GTX 760 scales against the competition. The HD 7950 significantly outperforms the GTX 760 in almost every benchmark. Yes it is true that the GTX 760 is cheaper and is a better value than the HD 7950 but that is not what NVidia claims in the graph they have the public as seen on the NCIXcom video about the GTX 760 by Linus.

Do you think this is NVidia's way of tooting their own horn? Or is this just something to taunt AMD to see what they have under their sleeve? I shall this for the community to decide.

Even so, I looked up Anandtech's review, and looked up Bioshock Infinite and compared NVIDIA's claims to what Anandtech was getting, and while NVIDIA's claims may be a bit sensationalist, the 760 does perform slightly better than the 7950 Boost.

People said the 7970 ghz barely could keep up. On anadetech proved them wrong. (7970 ghz was mocked by the viewers of the video by linus Juji provided).

I can look up the exact equivalent on anandtech, but you MAY not want that, probably may.

 

FINAL CONCISION: 7950 is either a little more powerful or equivalent.

7950is a pretty good match for 760 stock.

Looks like I got my information wrong. Sorry for the misleading post. I will be more careful next time when claiming something as big of an issue as this

doesn't the 7950 consistently outperform the 760 by a useful margin ? 

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))

Dang I didn;t even look at that. But I was right anyway with a source from anandtech. I guess were on the same letter in the same page.

yes but the 7950 has a non reference cooler by sapphire allowing for high over clocks compared to the stock cooler

well actually the overclocks used by linus is a very mild oc with no big overvolting and are represents what nearly all gpus with stock cooler and better should achieve. if you ask me i think they have a shoddy 7970 cuz that card usually scales a lot further than what they have. again basically what i am saying is there overclocks are not max overclocks they are low overclocks relative to what can be achieved with a  lucky card   

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

Review

 

If you get the 7950 and are serious about ocing you will not be Boosting !  As for me and what I buy well I am known to be pro Nvidia and love physX but if I had to choose between the 7950 and the GTX 760 and I was a buyer not looking for physX well I would go with the 7950 no doubt.  This new card from Nvidia has less vram than some cheap AMD offerings at NCIX for $269 and heck you get 3 games vs 1 game when you go with AMD right now.  I also would be oc'ing the snot out of the 7950 and would be getting much more of an oc than that has been shown on many sites showing the 7950 Boost vs the GTX 760.  Thanks goodness Linus got a hold of these cards and benchmarked cuz I trust him more than many of these other sites.

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

Final conclusion is the 7950 kills it when the card is oc'd properly.  I am glad Linus posted his results.

Yea the 7950 is a really powerful card after you overclock it and it can beat some high end cards like the 7970.

Both cards are OCed. Which means the stock should be near close to each other. Even without the oc the difference is 5 frames maybe. These overclocks are something a toddler could do. I guess his daughter/son (Linus's daughter) is gonna go into this business to sense she was pointing at the gpu core on the titan unbox.

This Sapphire 7950 is $250 after a $20 MIR, plus you get 4 games with it. AMD must have a "Stomp Nvidia's prices" button they push whenever Nvidia releases something. :P

I still want a 780.

Think this would add to the whole spirit of this thread.
