Which would you prefer? 1280 CUDA cores at 2 Ghz or 2560 CUDA cores at 1 Ghz?

1280 cores at 2000 Mhz or 2560 cores at 1000 Mhz. Assuming all other things are the same. No boost clocks and overclocking options.

Context? If from the same generation I'd expect largely the same performance (doubling shaders whilst halving speed).

The_Prince2017 · Aug 20, 2016

Oops! Yeah, the same generation. Yes the performance will be very similar. Which would you prefer though.

pete_101 · Aug 20, 2016

I would always take twice the hardware at half the speed, because it should run much cooler.

Op - might help if you tell us what you are comparing?

The_Prince2017 · Aug 20, 2016

Yeah. Me too.

The_Prince2017 · Aug 20, 2016

I am not comparing any specific GPUs. It's just.... don't know.

he is "on" something, or on withdrawal from something
