So Nvidia says GTX 780 TI is more faster than GTX 980 and that why its more expensive.

NVidia never said the 780TI > 980

The 980 is faster and cheaper. They deliberately made it cheaper because they knew price/performance is key (No $1000 titan BS)

I wouldnt say the 980 are cheaper anymore. newegg just lower the Asus 780ti dc2 to $449.99 which is a steal for the performance you get from them. Specially in SLI

I paid $600 for a EVGA gtx780ti superclocked 3 months ago and from what i am seeing on bench tests i really dont need to worry about getting a 980. I am running my 780ti at 1250mgz
Have not seen any results that say a 980 would floor me coming from this 780ti?

780ti runs hotter, performs 8-10% better and has higher power draw. And the cost of a 780ti compared to the released 980 is a bust.

The 980 is better in price performance ratio. price performance meaning the power consumption, the general GPU performance in applications and its sale prices.

Paying less over a year and seeing a barely visible drop in fps in real time gaming for significantly less is what defines being better.

Also take into account that AMD is not competing at all at the moment, which makes them unable to put a heavy price unto their cards, else no1 would buy them.

Benchmarks show that the 970 goes toe to toe with the 780 ti, with 1-2fps in TI's favour, so wouldn't the 980 be reasonably better than a 780 ti?

synt vs real time, not really. Benchmarks made precise using certain criterias and set of hardware used to test under only these conditions.

In real time, your setup will affect the outcome, even something as simple as airflow in your case can affect the outcome. Synthetics benchmarks are used to provide numbers to be used for specific overview and all tests are performed using the same parameters.

It also depends on the resolution being used and on the card itself. In real time, you cannot predict the outcome.

Also as i put it, 780ti will generally perform up to 10% better in most cases that is looking at it realistically. of course this will change with future game patches, update drivers, updated architecture, components etc etc.

All to say that benchmarks are there to give you an overview of how the cards should perform in general using the setup provided and the general condition the benchmarks are being run from. These benchmarks however will never tell you how exactly the card will perform at your place.

Even one of the most overclocked 780 Ti, Asus GTX 780 Ti Matrix Platinum, is barely on a par with a reference 980 - check them out on those graphs, no even translation needed.

Imagine what an overclocked 980 like Asus Strix can do.

I must be misinterpreting this graph somehow then...


Link to well known, english sites in future.

You link to benchmarks, but it seems you need glasses to go with them, sorry to say. You are obviously pointing out to the gtx 780 instead of the TI. Please before inputting seriously wrong comments, i would suggest at least reviewing properly what you are posting.

Do not be mistaken, i am not bashing you. I am merely stating that, people should actually do some research and gather some intelligence and experience before posting random responses that will confuse people.

Like in this case you posted a link with benchmarks, with noise temp, with bench in crysis 3. And well i look at it again and again, it does not show me that the 980 beats the 780ti even if i keep looking at the whole pages.

And i also took time to fully explain myself above. So the 980 beats the 780ti 3 games out of 10 it means the 980 is better? Try to understand the implications of each and every factor. If u did try to understand what i explained, you would see clearer.

I will put it again however.

980 beats the Ti 1 game out of 4, and that also greatly depends on the setup itself. Which does not mean that the 980 is better than the Ti.

The 980 beast the Ti in price performance ratio, that is normal. even though 8-10% performance is sacrificed in general. The 980 beats the Ti in power consumption efficiency and thermals. Again this does not mean that the 980 is better than the Ti.

And again, a benchmark does not reflect what will happen in your house. It is only an indicator to give you an idea of how the card should be performing in general under certain strict conditions imposed by the benchmark environment.

I hope this is clearer for people who like to make random statements without having facts. Also to prove this to you, i will use your own link.

http://www.ferra.ru/photo/system/review/vga-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-sli/17178/402067 780ti beats the 980.

http://www.ferra.ru/photo/system/review/vga-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-sli/17178/402072 lol if you call decimal fps beating ok np.

http://www.ferra.ru/photo/system/review/vga-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-sli/17178/402093 again.

http://www.ferra.ru/photo/system/review/vga-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-980-sli/17178/402098 oops the ti got beaten finally.

And one last thing, comparing two different generations of tech is like comparing black and white. It was the same with my card, benchmarks showed the 6790 beating the 6850 in 80% benchmarks but in the end, in real time 6850 beat the 6790 all the time.

The same applies here. No matter what amount of synthetics you can throw, real time you will never get what you see in synth benchs.

A GTX 980 is clearly better than a 780 ti. Don't pull up awful Russian sources to try to prove other wise. Hell, an overclocked 970 matches a stock 980 and is better than a stock 780 ti.

Look at all the benchmarks here for proof.

The GTX 980 TI is better than just the straight GTX 980 and will outperform the
GTX 780 TI the GTX 980 has 4GB but the GTX 980 TI has 6GB. If you have an overclocked GTX 980 TI it could be 2x faster than even an overclocked 780 TI.
