While BioShock Infinite is an attractive-looking game, it's not particularly difficult for high-end graphics hardware to render at its top quality setting. Set to the Ultra detail preset, not a single card dropped below 48 FPS during the course of our benchmark.


With my frame rate over time chart capped at 60 FPS to focus on problematic slow-downs, there's very little to see aside from a small valley at the beginning of the sequence.


Only two Radeon HD 7950 Boost cards in CrossFire struggle a bit in our frame time variance measurement. The other cards fare well through the majority of this test.

That's why we included an OC'd titan to represent 780 Ti performance.
Read the article. The memory was clocked identical to 780 Ti, and the core overclock was even calculated to simulate it as closely as possible.
It's a valid representation. I see some of you don't agree and you certainly reserve the right to do that, but I'm quite satisfied with the results.
780 is not the same price point. The 780 Ti is, and we overclocked a Titan to simulate as per above.
Really?
780 is not the same price point. The 780 Ti is, and we overclocked a Titan to simulate as per above.
Thanks, I stand corrected, and the 770, 780, and 780ti is what I would like to see compared to the Mars.
My qualm with using a Titan for comparison is 1) The titan costs $300 more than the 780ti, and 2) The titan is slower.
I usually read these type of articles from a perspective of "if I was going to purchase this Mars 760 or a comparitive other card at the $700 price point, what would I buy?"
So I wouldn't buy a Titan for 300$ more and overclock it to try to get 780ti performance out of it. I would want to see how a 780ti overclocked compares to an overclocked Mars 760 - then make a choice from that.
But, from strictly a performance consideration, I understand where you are coming from.
Those of us who don't get the Nvidia sample cards to play with have to consider the price/performance factor
My qualm with using a Titan for comparison is 1) The titan costs $300 more than the 780ti, and 2) The titan is slower.
The point is, is overclocked to *match* the 780 Ti.
We tested it at stock, ***and then again overclocked to represent the 780 Ti***.
It goes over this in detail in the article. Check the test system page
You are paying for the complexities of sticking two GPU's and the SLi bridge on one card together with the larger HSF this requires, it shouldn't be that difficult to work that out surely?
Plus stability is always worst on dual GPU card
Not my thing
