Gtx 780TI or Radeon HD 7990?

[TheCombatWombat]

I am stuck between buying these 2 video cards. I can find the 7990 cheaper than the 780ti and according to websites the 7990 is better than the 780ti. What do you guys think? And for what reason? I think my top graphically intense game would be battlefield 4, maybe one of the Crysis games. Which card is better?

Thanks in advance.

7990 is thought to be 9 percent faster than 780 ti. It's not a big enough gap to go with the crossfire configuration. 780ti would has better thermal, power consumption, and smaller physically smaller.

The 7990 is a dual GPU card, with that there are some issues of screen lag and picture tearing. Few games don't support Crossfire.

780ti runs smoother and cooler than the 7990. Being a single GPU card, there is less power consumption.


Nvidia usually has better drivers as well, better support.
All this coming from someone using AMD

True. I am a long amd user as well ( have used 6950, 7870, 7970) and AMD faith is right. The driver support for NVIDIA is much better for dual gpus.

Between those two, you'll be better with the GTX 780 Ti.

The Radeon HD 7990 is a dual GPU and multi GPU configurations usually have some image problems (both with AMD and nVidia).

And if the driver don't have a crossfire profile for a game, it will only use one GPU and you'll experience a lack of performance.

Noisy, hot, coil whine, poor frame pacing, inconsistent driver support; these are just some of the reasons the 7990 was discontinued after just a couple months on the market.
