better than a 980 ti?

[Prysin]

Dual GPU´s dont count. I rather have no microstutter.

Have you tried a dual GPU in real life?

I have microstutters... in benchmarks due to my OC (if i reset to stock, its fine)

in games, nope. none.

 

Also, CF =/= SLI.... i know SLI struggles with microstutters, and that the 7990 did... but its a long time since 7990 was released. The world moves on and microstutters are getting "better and better".

 

EDIT:

Who gives a shit anyway, its on the damn benchmark list.... so yeah... if it doesnt count in your book, Guru3D thinks otherwise for sure.

390 cf if you can cool it should be better at least until ocs are taken into account as the oc 970 sli was basically on par or better than a 980ti oc all across the board. (Even 4k somehow haha).

See jayztwocents latest review of the kingpin.

But air cooling two Hawaii chips is quite the feat imho.

I'd personally just stick with a 980ti.

My amp!extreme´s Score is even higher with 19689.

 

 

That's a really poor comparison, testing ONE of each card and then saying one is better than them all is pretty unfair considering the sample size is almost non existent.  That chart also doesn't say if it's overall score or GPU score that's being shown from what I can see.

 

The Lightning has a better cooler and is objectively better overall, as it has more support for overclocking & custom BIOS as well as having better power delivery.

This.

 

Like i always try to say each card with exactly equal chips are within ~2% or less of each other in benchmarks and games (meaning a few fps) the silicon lottery will be more of a determining factor on how good of a card you get compared to what brand you buy.. if you live in the US just get which ever one comes with the best features/ warranty / support that fits your liking, if youre living somewhere where prices range alot then don't spend $50 more on one of these if you heard it is faster unless you really want that specific card model regardless of performance.
