Here’s the direct comparison of every tested card's results. Looking at the GeForce GTX 780 Ti’s numbers, it immediately becomes clear that pushing flagship-class performance still requires a lot of power. Still, when you take it gaming capabilities into account, Nvidia's newest ultra-high-end board is also the most efficient card in its segment.





The bottom line is that the GeForce GTX 780 Ti offers a very appealing power consumption-to-performance ratio. The new Radeon R9 graphics cards gain ground on Nvidia, but they're nowhere close to catching up.
Another factor to consider is price, and it remains to be seen how the market reacts to all of these introductions in so short of a time frame. Right now, there’s a fitting solution for pretty much everyone, and a more competitive graphics card space is proving to be a boon to enthusiasts who have access to more performance at lower prices than ever before.

- Unquestionably The Fastest Single-GPU Graphics Card
It could also come down to production variance between the chips. Seen in before in manufacturing and it's not pretty. Sounds like we're starting to hit the ceiling with these GPUs... Makes me wonder what architectural magic they'll come up with next.

If it has a negligible impact on what it looks like I am wondering how performance is with single cards on ultraHD screens WITHOUT ANTI-ALIASING. Please could you investigate? or point me to somewhere that has. Cheers all!
Apples to apples it looks like the 780 ti will remain faster than the 290x even after we begin to see custom cooling AMD cards . . . but at a high premium.
and yet, people will continue to eat up their products like mindless sheep. guess a lot of people have disposable income.
Well, it is possible, but highly unlikely, given that Nvidia has a hard defined minimum clock rate, and a much narrower range...plus this is a reference board, it's fully possible that a retail card with a custom cooler will perform much higher (like the Gigabyte 780 in this article).
And, it's not an issue with the Titan or the 780, which are both based on GK110...which has been out for months, and has stable drivers.

What i can't understand is why this has to be a ****ing war.
When they had no competition, they charged a lot of money for their top end cards. No one was forced to buy these overpriced cards. If no one bought them, they'd drop prices. When AMD released solid competition, they dropped prices.
That's how the market works. If you think AMD wouldn't do the same, well, what can i say..
AMD haven't been in a position to do that for a long time on either the GPU or CPU front, which is why they haven't.
When they tried to release an $800 FX CPU (this is without a monopoly or lead in the market, btw), no one bought it, and AMD had to drop prices by more than half.
