GTX 780 TI NOISE TEST VIDEO

[lhikari]

I'm not trying to win anything dude I'm just tryingto make you think about what you're saying

Personally I'm having a hard time recommending the R9 290X compared to either this or the 780 simply because of heat+power consumption+noise but if the manufacturer says that the product is rated to run at a temperature and it runs at that temperature I don't see the problem? It's exactly like what Intel does with their CPUs but no one uproars about it - they buy an after market cooler just like many people do with GPUs and tbh I think that's where I'm headed as they outperform most aftermarket coolers and are usually quieter.

gtx 780 ti is a BEAST is what hes gaying

I know the GTX 780TI is a beast but him complaining about the temperature of the R9 290X is foolish - that's my point.

No it isn't

 

Who the hell buys a $500+ GPU and doesn't overclock?

Less than 5%.

 

So when you can't OC the 290x because it's at it's thermal limit and can't go any higher, the 780 is the best choice because it can OC perfectly fine and beat the 290x even when the 780 is on a stock cooler. You put a custom cooler on it that you get higher clock, lower noise, and lower temps. That's a 100% for sure and at a lower price point.

 

Once 290x makes a custom cooler it will be finme but they don't have an official one and it gets betan by a 780.

 

How many people do you know that water cool. We had a few on this forum saying there were going to but I haven't seen a post since.

When it's OC and at less that 90c it will beat a 780 OC for sure. But until than it's hard to say.

-snip-

At this point the 290x isn't competing with the 780 it's competing with the 780TI if we want to talk about overclocking well the R9 290 beats both of them at a lower price point so that's invalid... There has been a user on here that watercooled an R9 290X btw you should look around more since I believe it was in this section anyway & finally I didn't mention watercooling I was reffering to things such as the Artic Accelero Extreme etc.

Again, it overclocks itself, so there is not much left for the user to do while the software works it's magic.

[Kiwiandapple]

Ok, but seriously no one buys a $500 intel cpu and runs the stock cooler. That's idiotic. That is what AMD is doing. 

Once aftermarket coolers come it will be great I'm not denying that never have, but in it's current state it sucks and reaching it's limit.

 

Socket 2011 isn't shipped with a stock cooler. I understand why you think AMD shot themself, but I don't think it's that bad. Nvidia just fought back very strongly.  

[matin94]

both by the same guy, skip to 3/4 of the way through, lets get some light on this shall we and remove anybias.

really cant compare because they are different lengths, the nvidia one runs for 5 minutes, and the amd for 2 minutes. you cant compare.

[matin94]

I'm not going to look it up but silent is 40% and uber is 55% (if I remember). So yes it is still loud. Much louder than an aftermarket while also at a higher temp. Why AMD ever though a reference launch was smart is beyond me.

 

TTL said it was because some after market cards suck, But MSI Windforce and Asus DCU2 are the best out there that are on both Nvidia and AMD. They should have launched with those and blown the 780 out of the water and shown it's true potential.

All I see, is it sucks and a 780 is worth it because it OC's better and is cheaper. Not a good image for AMD to have.

yeah they should have stupid AMD, they are a finger tip away from winning after so long, what do they do? "i know DUH, lets give these cards out with reference coolers". i have a feeling they were willing to wait, but as soon as Nvidia came out and said they have a secret announcement, amd though lets get these selling before people start to wait for Nvidias new annoucnement

[matin94]

No it doesn't, I don't know why people think 95c is a proper temp to be at even at normal and uber mode.

The GTX780 does until it reaches it max core clock. The 290x reaches it's thermal before it can increase it's clock anymore. Therefor limiting itself.

if you said that to the guy your going head to head with in the first place, he would have understood much faster

i personally dont know ANYONE that uses the intel stock cooler (EVER). its a different story with GPUs though, more people buy after market GPUs than reference. AMD does have a good card. im still hoping they will beat Nvidia when aftermarket coolers come out. and im not raging about the cooler. if it doesnt kill it, it works

maybe their GPUs died because of heat haha

I sort of go meh when I see these tests and proceed to ignore them since this is a highly unrealistic example of 'noise'. People are going to stuff these cards in cases, not on platforms so I feel a better test would be with one with the card inside a closed rig which drastically changes the amount of noise.

[Kuzma]

The funny part is that the 780TI is louder in those videos, play them both at the same time then pause one while playing the other and vice versa and then play them both at the same time and repeat...

[digitalnav]

I had 4x of these running 3Dmark for an hour... lets just say the room got hot.

[D3MON]

well i like to think I'm unbiased (ill buy whatever gives me better bang for buck and at the moment its too early to call, we'll have to wait a month for better drivers)

but i thin its a relevant point that both blow style coolers are pretty close, the nvidia has a more tinny sound wheras the amd is a more full sound either way theyre both around typical noise levels, same as my gtx285 at 55% and that reaches 92*c at that speed (i tend to run it a bit faster though), you can set the amds temp to 80*c and it doesnt affect performance the fan just ramps up to 60%, 2 websites ive seen both overclocked it to over 1100mhz (YES YOU CAN OVERCLOCK ON IT) and at 100% fan speed ( to eliminate temps) it only reached 67*c which is more than cool enough, id happily trade 13*c for 25* fan speed but we will have to wait and see if anyone tries this, untill then noone can really say anything because everyone either moans about it running too hot which its designed to do or it being too loud at 100% which it isnt made to do (though capable of), has anyone recorded a gtx at 100% fan speed or its temps at 1000mhz@55% because maybe then we could see how they stack up

Ive done it loads of times skipping to 3/4 of the way through on both, skipping to 1min from the end on both, I think (and anyone who thinks im an amd fanboy read and learn) i think the amd card is louder.....by like 2db....the thing is YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW LOUD SOMETHING IS FROM A VIDEO

1#the person recording the video can turn the video volume down and change how it sounds

2#you can turn the volume up and have an unrealistic noise floor,

aside from those theres the other factor that these cards will likely both be at different temperitures which leads me onto my next point.....they perform differently.

test 1)temps-tune both cards to the same performance delta (regardless of clock) with the same 70% fan speed and measure which is cooler (if that bothers you), made a bit tricky with the software they use but whatever

test 2)performance-clock both cards at the same 1ghz speed again at 70% fan speed (regardless of temps) and see which has the better IPC as it were..

test 3)noise-tune both cards so they perform the same (regardless of clock speed) and at the same temperitures and then measure which one has the loudest fan

till then all this is meaningless because people are only talking about 1 of these 3 things and who buys a card based on only temps (my 6670 only hits 53*c), or only noise (my gt210 is passively cooled) or only performance (my gtx285 isnt too bad..lol).

but nobody is going to test it and even if it did because of thier respective overclocking software it will likely have a wide margin of error, i say buy whatever gives you the best overall usage for what you need.

on a positive note i can buy a 680 for £180 now

[matin94]

Unlucky guy, got a bad overclocker 

yeah but the temps look promising

[KakaoDj]

yeah but the temps look promising

did you see his rads??

Almost surprised the temps aren't negative 

[lhikari]

hmmmmmm 780 ti is DroooooooooooooOOOOL

waiting for r9 290 aftermarket coolers since its xlose to the 780ti perfomance

ahaha yeah, just seen the 780TI, beast! it runs at around 82 on 100 load with 60% fan speed. if its gonna be the same price as the 290X watercooled, im gonna get a 780 TI coz i aint running a 290X with a  reference cooler

[dha07]

Wow, that's super quite compared to the 290/290X, MAYBE it is because this card doesn't reach it thermal limit and destroy any OC potential it has.

 

I hope AMD doesn't release a 290x with an aftermarket cooler so it doesn't destroy the 780/780ti is performance.

/sarcasm.

 

I believe once the 290x get's a msi windforce or DCU2 cooler it will do better than a 780ti when both are OC.

I doubt that it would, even with non-reference designs, I think overclocking will be limited plus, the aftermarket coolers will mean that the 780ti will go even further as well one would hope, Im just gonna wait for maxwell
