gtx 770 vs r9 270x
supposedly gtx 770 is the better card. but from several benchmark tests i've seen, with the same setups, the 770 does half as good as the 270x. notably for games like skyrim, crysis 3 and some others. i'm aware that some games are just optimized for one brand; but I read that skyrim has had a sponsorship with Nvidia which only confuses me more. So my question is, why does the 270x do so much better than the gtx 770 in some of the most graphically demanding games out right now?

yeah but it goes back and forth, other games have a preference for nvidia

could also be the benchmarks you are comparing arent directly comparable, different hardward, different settings somewhere.

Thanks a lot pretty much answers it.
However but do amd cards really get that better frames if a game prefers it?

the 770 is a far better card. a 270 compares with a 760. some games prefer amd cards in general though and the 270 will appear to be better than it is in those circumstances

Just put your faith in me, the GTX 770 will outperform the R9 270x
