Not sure if this should be in CPU or GPU section but here we go.
So I bought a GTX 780 second hand off a friend and by happy circumstance ended up getting an R9 290 for free.
I decided to see which one would post higher firestrike scores, so put them each in my system with my overclocked FX 6300 and benchmarked each in turn. The graphics scores were similar at stock, however my physics score is consistently lower with the R9 290 (roughly 6800 with the 290, 7300 with the 780).
I was just wondering what could be causing this? My initial thought was PhysX would be heloping the 780, but I wasn't sure if PhysX helped the firestrike physics tests at all?
Cheers all.
