Hi,
I'm posting this thread for the purpose of knowing the best possible graphics card to date to include in my rig for its price. I wish to hear from all you experts and GPU enthusiasts. I do not wish to do SLI/Crossfire with medium range cards to match the performance of top-tier cards due to their issues
The top 3 cards are as follows:
-GTX 780Ti Superclocked
-GTX 690
-AMD HD Radeon 7990
***Note that the R9 290x and the GTX Titan are missing due to to the following reasons.
Titan:
-Overpriced with less performance of the GTX 780Ti (no longer the #1 GPU)
AMD R9 290X:
-Coolng issues (can be considered negligible after 3rd part cooling solutions)
-Less efficient than the 780Ti, but has a good price**
Now for these 3 competitors, to eliminate all bias due to their prices, ASSUME all the three Video Cards cost $750.
I've organized their overall performances as follows.
GTX 780Ti SC < GTX 690 < AMD 7990
As you move from left to right you get more performance, but you run into more issues.
The GTX 780Ti has no problems as it is a single GPU that is power efficient, but lacks (only slightly, which is surprising) performance compared to its much older brother with a big cost behind its appearance.
The GTX 690 is very viable performance as a solution, but the fact that it has 2GPU's makes this card run into issues with 2 GPU's like the acclaimed "microstutter" and games with lack of SLI support.
The Radeon 7990 is hands-down the best performing card on the market. There is a very drastic tragic flaw however. Not only is this card held back by the lack of game support of Crossfire, but is made with GPU's that have low voltage leakage, which turned out to be a bad thing, as this card is power hungry and really hot.
What do you guys think? This has really been a head-scratcher and has forced me to get some opinions of these cards
