Seems on average 10% faster than the Titan, power consumption a tad higher, about 30W more than reference 7970 GHz. Not bad!

Dam! Seems to be gone.

Noooooooo!!!

Oh well. More waiting it seems.

Your link doesn't seem to work, is this the right one -
More test results

eh? in that Bioshock chart it's slower than the 280X...

Well, it also shows 280X much faster than 7970Ghz

10% faster than Titan? Was that a typo or was it indeed more than Titan or GTX 780?

Review is gone :| Guess someone made a whoops on their website.

AMD first-gen drivers. Just why I wouldn't recommend buying one at launch if it can be avoided.

 

[blackened23]

Actually, some of the charts are there:

Holy HELL that is WAY better than I thought it would be in terms of performance. Impressive. Though it does flip back and forth a lot depending on games tested, which some games favor NV and others favor AMD. Some tests even with 780, some tests WAY faster.

It was a mathematical guess
Review is still there. Click on the graph icon and it will open the comparison charts.

 

[Grooveriding]

Wow! Looks like AMD hit a home run here.

I didn't expect it to be this good. It's putting a thumping on Titan and every other single GPU card out there. This must be the reason for the 780ti, nvidia is trying to catch up, not retake the lead.

Super impressed!

Before they get taken down

 

[Skurge]

On A related note. R9 290 will be about price range, maybe a little more than Current GTX770 4GB prices.

I don't know the price of the 290X

What do you mean by gone, the test results are still there -

3DMark Vantage Performance

3DMark11 Performance

3DMark11 Extreme

3DMark Ice Storm

3DMark Cloud Gate

3DMark Fire Strike

3DMark Fire Strike Extreme

just click on the individual chart icon for results, they're clearly visible on this page -

Few tests at 1440p from PurePC.pl:

http://www.tiny.pl/qm7w8

"Nieznane GPU nieznanej firmy" = Unknown GPU from Unknown Company

"Nieznana specyfikacja" = Unknown specification

 

[GaiaHunter]

It does seem that the GTX780/Titan and the R290X trade blows at 1080p/1200p but at 1440p and higher the R290X seem to have more horsepower left in the tank.

 

[DigDog]

turtles, turtles everywhere.

(not that i'm buying one, but i'm curious to see if AMD can compete

 

[Cloudfire777]

Can`t find anything

 

[parvadomus]

The thing killed the Titan in everything lol. And power consumption was only 10watt higher than Titan @ Metro LL.

 

[GaiaHunter]

Can`t find anything

The charts have been removed for a while now.

 

[badb0y]

If this is true that means AMD beat nVidia on the same node for the first time in like 7 years or something like that right?

Please be $600!

Are we looking at the same graphs?

BF3 1080p - Good showing by the 290X here, beats out the Titan and 780 handily. What is up with the 780 SLI and 7970 Xfire though? CPU limited, or were these benches done before the multi-card drivers were working?

Crysis 1080p - Even with the 780, and about even with the Titan. Average FPS is barely playable though...

Metro LL 1080p - Even with the 780, Titan has the better showing here. Good 60FPS average.

BF3 3x1080p - Good showing by the 290X again, beats the Titan and 780 by a good margin. Although I would lower a couple settings for more playable FPS, especially in multiplayer.

Crysis 3x1080p - Nothing worth mentioning is playable, need to lower settings. Looks like we need 2 or more cards at those settings.

Metro LL 3x1080p - Again, nothing I would consider playable. Mutli-card is needed at those settings.

 

[boxleitnerb]

hardware.info could NEVER properly bench multi-GPU. Some graphs are also mislabelled, for example in some the 280X beats the 290X, lol.

So take those results with caution.
