Kepler vs 7970

[xtremegamer2da-max]

lets theoretically say that the 580 has a performance of 100. if the 7970 is 15% better than the 580 that means the 7970 would have performance of 115. so after looking at some scaling tests of the 580 i discover that 3 580s in sli would have a performance of 259. and if the kepler card used in the samaritan demo has around the same performance of 3 580s in sli (which means a performance of 259, theoretically)

so it seems that the kepler card used on the samaritan demo is 55% better than the 7970

GPU: 580 7970 Kepler
-------------------------------------------------------
Performance: 100 115 259
-------------------------------------------------------
Percent Better: 0% 15% 55%

pls tell me if you think this thread is trash or not

The GTx 680 is of course is said to be the fastest video card(GPU base) as 7970 is the same performance(probably a little better) than 670...

there is the link to the article by Tom's. This seems to suggest the major difference in the 3 580's vrs the 1 Kepler GPU is the switch from MSAA to FXAA techniques which free up GPU resources.
