Did you notice?

So, a Maxwell core is 1.5 of a Kepler core in gaming performance right?

 

GTX 750 Ti: 640 cores, 640x1.5=960, which is the number of the GTX 660's cuda cores.

GTX 950: 768 Cores, 768 x 1.5 = 1152, GTX 760 has 1152 cores

GTX 960: 1024 cores, 1024 x 1.5 = 1536, GTX 770 has 1536 cores

GTX 980: 2048 cpres 2048 x 1.5= 3072, GTX 690 has 3072  cores and Titan X does too!

GTX Titan X: 3072 X 1.5 = 4608 GTX 780 has 2304 Cores and x 2 it's = 4608!

No it is not because you are comparing cards that are NOT on the same performance levels.

For example GTX 770 outperforms GTX 960.

[arvark]

Yea but the numbers... Theorically, 750 Ti should roughly have GTX 660's performance, 950 should have 760's performance, 960 should have GTX 770's performance, while for the rest, GTX 690 sometimes is on par with GTX 980, or slightly below, while GTX 780 SLI should have Titan X's performance! @WereCat

Its actually about the same. roughly 770 Slightly very slightly better.

GTX 660 has roughly GTX 760 performance as there is barely any difference and 760 is just marginaly slower than GTX 960.

So comparing GTX 750ti to GTX 660 is a bit off as there is quite a big performance gap between them.

[WereCat]

Its actually about the same. roughly 770 Slightly very slightly better.

They get close in performance due to 960 having better tesselation which depends a lot on game. So in heavy tesselation games they are about the same in non heavy tesselation games 770 is quite a bit faster.

[arvark]

No. With drivers, a lot of things have improven, 760 is more powerful than 660 Ti which beats 660 obviously. 960 is now as powerful as 770!

[Shoob]

Not really. 960 is nowhere near the 770, might be closer to a 670.

Or you probably mean that drivers have "improven" Maxwell's performance by crippling Kepler cards. :lol:

[arvark]

No. See latest benchmarks! They're close!

[Glenwing]

A Maxwell core is about 1.35x more powerful than a Kepler core, to use NVIDIA's own numbers. Not sure where you got 1.5x from.

And yes since the cores on every GPU are organized into groups based on binary numbers, you do tend to see a lot of related numbers. That's always been true.

[Shoob]

No. See latest benchmarks! They're close!

That's G1 Gaming 960, probably the best one, right?

 

Only when overclocked the 960 can match 770's stock clock performance. Judging by Nvidia's previous generations of GPUs, the 960 should have been better than a 770, but as you can see that's not the case. Maxwell is only a minor improvement in performance and the 960 is a terribly crippled card.

I think I saw an image dialing "Fermi vs Kepler vs Maxwell" or something like that.

Sure, BF3, as if nVidia optimizes their driver for BF3!

Nvidia isn't optimising anything, they even degrade their previous gen cards to make the "latest and greatest" perform better. I'll just leave these here:

 

 

It didn't even manage to surpass the card it's replacing (760) in some benchmarks.

[arvark]

Yeah sure sure,

I think I just dropped a frame or two mid-flight after seeing this.
