Nvidia GTX 780 Ti Review + BenchMarks

                                       There are some really interesting graphics cards have come into the market and the battle between Nvidia and AMD has reached at its peak again, this is really a good thing for the people who are willing to buy a new GPU for themselves. The main plus point of this dominance war is that consumer’s cost reduce to about 10% to 15% because of both brands wanted to get more sales and dominate the score cards. So far Nvidia has the edge over AMD from about 5 months but now AMD has launched some GPUs as well to create room in market for them. Today we are going to review an Nvidia graphics card from their 700 series which is Nvidia GTX 780 Ti.

                                         The Ti version has been planned many months ago but finally it has been released. The GK110 GPU has been used in Nvidia GTX 780 Ti which is also in GTX Titan and GTX 780 non-Ti version. The overall design is better than GTX 780 and its pretty much similar to GTX 690, GTX Titan which is a good thing. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti also support 4 way SLI feature so the enthusiasts are going to pleased with this card. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti has plenty of advantages over the Nvidia GTX 780 and the AMD’s top card R9 290X. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti has better cooling system. The faster base and boost clocks are also a good factor as well as more stream processors which will definitely help to push the scores further. The higher transfer rate 336GB/s and 7 Ghz faster 3GB_GDDR5 memory are the main thing in the GTX 780 Ti.
 The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti is really the fastest (single) GPU in the market at the moment and the main you guys want to here would be, whether it beats GTX Titan or not and my answer is Yes, it is more powerful than the Titan. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti requires 1x 6 Pin + 1x 8 Pin power connector and with the 250Watts TDP. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti even beats the 4GB GPU from AMD i.e. AMD R9 290X as well. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti has one disadvantage which is its price which is pretty high and may be that will become the cause of low overall sales of Nvidia GTX 780 Ti than Nvidia GTX 780. Lets jump into BenchMarks and see what it can do……

                           The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti is really an Amazing card and no doubt, the fastest GPU in the market i.e. single GPU. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti beats its predecessor Nvidia GTX 780 non-Ti, GTX Titan and AMD R9 290X as well. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti has better temperature management as well as low noise than Nvidia GTX 780 and AMD R9 290X. The Titan is about $280-$300 higher priced than the Nvidia GTX 780 Ti so if you had money, but it, It is the fastest GPU which will performs top-class in every BenchMarks, games or application. The Nvidia GTX 780 Ti performs really well and people who has GTX Titan should wait because the new of new GTX Titan Ultra have arrived in the market but if you are not the Titan dude tha go for Nvidia GTX 780 Ti.

So far Nvidia has the edge over AMD from about 5 months but now AMD has launched some GPUs as well to create room in market for them. Today we are going to review an AMD graphics card customized by ASUS from AMD’s R9 series which is ASUS R9 280X DCU II.

 The ASUS R9 280X DCU II is well build as the design is pretty much similar to the other DCU II cards of ASUS. The ASUS has improved the efficiency of the cooling system by installing their custom heat sink as well as two fans. The design is really good with 1x DVI-I and 1x DVI-D ports. The ASUS R9 280X DCU II also has Display Port and HDMI port as well and ASUS R9 280X DCU II supports 4 Displays easily (tested). The ASUS R9 280X DC II requires 1x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin PCIe power connector with TDP of 250Watts.

AMD R9 290X Review + BenchMarks

                                                         There are some really interesting graphics cards have come into the market and the battle between Nvidia and AMD has reached at its peak again, this is really a good thing for the people who are willing to buy a new GPU for themselves. The main plus point of this dominance war is that consumer’s cost reduce to about 10% to 15% because of both brands wanted to get more sales and dominate the score cards. So far Nvidia has the edge over AMD from about 5 months but now AMD has launched some GPUs as well to create room in market for them. Today we are going to review an AMD graphics card from their R9 series which is AMD R9 290X.
The AMD R9 290X is the top card in their New R9 lineup. The R9 290 is also available which is a bit lower than this card. The basic intentions of AMD for this card it to compete with the Nvidia GTX 780 GPU and make its place in the market. The expected price which was higher but this card has been release on low price so that it can compete head to head with GTX 780. The AMD R9 290X is powered with Hawaii GPU and the 28 nm process architecture is the same as GTX 780 has so the numbers of transistors also higher which is 6.2 Billion. The AMD R9 290X has base clock of about 1 Ghz and it can boost upto 1140 Mhz easily which is really a good factor. The AMD R9 290X has massive 4 GB GDDR5 memory which is clocked at 5 Ghz effective. The 384 bit interface of GTX 780 is head to head with AMD R9 290X’s 512 Bit interface. The 2816 stream processing units are enough to powered the AMD R9 290X. 
There is higher transfer rate or bandwidth of AMD R9 290X (331 GB/s) than the 288 GB/s of Nvidia GTX 780. The power consumption is a factor where AMD R9 290X is behind than GTX 780 as it consumes more power but we have to keep a fact in mind that it has higher clock than GTX 780 and temperatures were still acceptable. The overall build quality of AMD R9 290X is really good and the look is also cool as AMD keep their legacy color scheme of Red and Black colors. We think that’s it and let jump in and see the performance instead of reading text……

                                        The AMD R9 290X is really a great card and it is really more powerful than the GTX 780 but the question is that why not AMD release this card about 5 months ago. We think it is not the ideal time to launch this card as Nvidia GTX 780 Ti has been brought into the market as well by Nvidia. The AMD R9 290X is really awesome looking and better performer than GTX 780 and it has higher clock speed as well. The AMD R9 290X is the best choice to make if you do not have enough money to buy the GTX 780 Ti which is about $80 to $90 higher than AMD R9 290X. The final decision is your and you have to make the real decision as well and we will always & every time appreciate you whenever you contact us for help or advice.

• Attractive design.
• Great performance.
• Higher base and boost clock speed.
• Beat GTX 780.
• Best Replacement for AMD 7970.
• Reasonable price.

• Higher power consumption.
