Somewhat Reliable source for GPU performance!

[i_build_nanosuits]

Database 100% based on user submitted results, you can also run the benchmarks and submit/compare your own results if you feel like it!

http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-970-vs-AMD-R9-390/2577vs3481

GPU tests include:
-Parallax occlusion mapping (peak texture detail)
-Multi-render target array GShader (peak multi rendering)
-Gravity NBody particle system (peak NBody calculation)
-Force Splatted Flocking (peak complex splatting)
-Lighting (peak lighting effects)
-Reflection (peak reflection handling)

I went ahead and made a quick graph to compare overall performance results for modern AMD and Nvidia GPU's.
I decided to compare performance vs. the lowest-end modern GPU which happened to be the GTX 750ti.

 

Also good is the same thing, but for CPU:

Looks accurate, but people viewing this should keep in mind that the one graph in the OP doesn't tell the whole story.

That's bullshit

 

The best source for performance are and ALWAYS WILL BE game benchmarks.

 

NOTHING ELSE.

no it certainly does not, this benchmark is somewhat ''basic'' and it's based on DX9 (i believe)  so it's good to tell which GPU's have more ''grunt'' overall...but when it comes to driver performance or support for advanced GPU computing features and stuff like that this won't tell the whole story indeed.

It's actually fairly accurate (the image) - R9 295X2 is missing from #1 tho

well...games are good but you never know how accurate and fair these tests are...this tool is 100% unbiaised and consistent, it being based on user submissions...that's why for some it might be better than looking at a bunch of different gaming benchmarks trying to figure out which is better between GPU ''A'' and GPU ''B'' especialy when they perform close to one another and that they trade blows from game to game depending on settings and screen resolutions and what not.

i also forgot the R9 380 or 370

380/285 - same stuff

265/370 - same stuff

just account for clockspeeds and board optimization

Exactly, gaming benchmarks tailor to the kind of game you play as a gamer.

If you like Battlefield 4, your benchmark does not indicate that most AMD cards do better than NVIDIA cards due to Mantle.

 

 

Those benchmarks do not take in account optimization, which is a real-world factor.

Is it me or is your image so small that I can't see anything in it .

Check the graph.

Do you see a GTX 690, a Titan Z or even things like a Mars 760?

I wonder what all these things have in common, and why they might not be in the same graph hmm?
