760 vs 7990

[Kenji the Uke]

I KNOW THERE ARE BETTER, NEWER CARDS OUT THERE! This is strictly speaking between these two cards.

.w. Would it be an improvement over the 760? By how much? 

[shadowbyte]

it would be quite the improvement

a 7990 is two 7970s

a 7970 is a 280x

so think dual 280x's vs a 760.

i just splitscreen both of the spec sheets and found that the 7990 has 3x the gddr5. That will help a lot.

lower base clock, but the can be messed with, a few hundred less "cores", not a biggish difference.....

 

I'd say go for it! 

 

 

 

 

Then again I've never owned an AMD card so

I'm kinda in the blue about all that.

A single 280x is noticably worse than a 760.. But it is two of dem..

That uses specs and vague tests, not real world performance.

then you'd have the thermal output of a small nuclear reactor
