So Nvidia asked Tom to push this? Low blow
The slide they sent , published in HFR article about
tested retail cards.
Notice that pointing frequency without mention of the
actual perfs is somewhat a way to mislead the public
but heck it s not about being accurate.
One of the downside of this slide is that for whom
know the 290X perf level it s an aknowledgment
that at equal frequencies the 780ti is undoubtly
significantly outmatched and that once products
with a slightly better cooler are released it will be
quite an onslaught.
