today's video is made possible by a few new plus for a free extended two-week trial period Hetal de Hulu Plus com fuller slash Quixote Baca fans welcome to the arena now who's fighting today well I've got two cards in my hands one from the nvidia camp which is red and one from the AMD camp which is black what are these cards well this is the MSI Twin Frozr gaming edition in this hand this is the GTX 780 Ti the cream of the crop card pretty much from people over at Nvidia for the gaming enthusiast now some of the cool things about it are is twin filter technology featuring these two fans and the card actually does change clocks we just will talk a little bit about later now in this hand I've got the wind force r9 290x the bad boy of the AMD cam this is the wind forced overclocked edition and this one actually has a switch for silent or turbo mode now as far as the power goes both the cards require a single six pin and a single eight pin power connector the really difference between the cards as far as size go is well obviously the AMD card is a little bit longer so with that said let's jump in to the battle so the battle begins and it starts with pricing now the Nvidia version of the car right now is costing seven hundred and sixty dollars so you can get the Twin Frozr gaming edition you can get that bad boy for seven hundred and sixty dollars now the wind force overclocked edition of the r9 290x is an amazing eight hundred and twenty-five dollars that's right eight hundred and twenty-five dollars why is this well all the Bitcoin technology and all that stuff's coming out has inflated the price of these cards just outrageously this card should come in to market about $600 so there's quite a bit of difference right there between the two cards now obviously this may change the people who are viewing this video down the road so make sure you always check the link down the description we have all the current pricing and listing both guards next up let's talk specs first up we have the msi gtx 780 Ti twin frozer now this card can be clocked in three different modes via their software we have the silent mode which is 876 megahertz the gaming mode which is 980 megahertz and then we have the overclock mode which goes all the way up to a thousand eighty five megahertz this card also has three gigabytes of gddr5 memory clocked at 7000 megahertz and it's a 384 bit memory interface now in the AMD side of the fence we see the gigabyte r9 290x 1-4 specs as this a thousand 40 megahertz on the core clock which is overclocked it also has 4 gigabytes of gddr5 memory running at 5,000 megahertz but unlike the nvidia card the r9 290x is a 512 bit memory interface now for our testing purposes we did things a little bit different because obviously these cards are supposed to be the badasses of the badass so you know why take a sports car and drive around a parking lot right so wait as we test it everything in ultra 4k glory that's right know 1080p no 1440p no 1600 p we're talking total 4k baby first up we see Crysis 3 which is on its high settings of 3840 by 2160 now the msi gtx 780 Ti had a score of 33 point 3 Everage frames per second the gigabyte r9 290x on the other hand had 31 point 22 average frames per second giving the lead to the msi card just a slight lead but still only one quick note about our testings in case you guys were wondering both these cards will ran at their overclocked mode so that means Bolton were set at the very highest settings for when they're doing the testing at the highest resolutions next up battlefield 4 on its ultra settings on the msi gtx 780 Ti we see 31 point 7 6 average frames per second on the gigabyte r9 290x we see 28 point 3 7 average frames per second once again giving a slight lead to the nvidia card now this next fact is going to be some that's actually going to blow a lot of your guys's minds when we used mantle on the AMD card we got 15 frames per second so obviously does not seem like nano is up to the old 4k next up we see witcher 2 at its ultra settings the msi gtx 780 i had seventeen point nine one average frames per second the gigabyte r9 290x whoever had sixteen point eight eight average frames per second next up BioShock Infinite on its ultra dx11 settings the msi gtx 780 Ti comes out with forty nine point six for average frames per second the gigabyte r9 280x had 44 point seven nine average frames per second next Tomb Raider with its ultra setting see Laura Croft in her underwear at 3840 by 2160 oh yeah msi gtx 780 Ti scores 33 average frames per second r9 290x by gigabyte 29 average frame per second I think we're starting to see a trend here folks next up mutagen heaven it's extreme settings that's right now the Nvidia card got a score of 444 the AMD card 379 let's keep going stalker Sun shafts scary and it's ultra settings msi gtx 780 Ti it's 70.8 average frames per second gigabyte r9 290x at 60 4.7 average frames per second next up Metro last light on its high settings msi gtx 780 Ti at 32 average frames per second the gigabyte r9 290x at 28 average frames per second next up let's talk about temperatures of the cars because this is something that's a very very important factor I mean let's just face it unless you're an Eskimo who's living up in the Arctic you really don't need a card to keep you warm you want your card to be really really cool now something I say right off the bat is aftermarket cooling is really paying off a lot more for the r9 290x way more than the 780ti disseminates the iCard ran a reference pretty damn good now with these two cards we see the Nvidia card running at 74 and the AMD card running at 73 so hey here we see AMD taking the lead and you guys all know that the r9 290x was one hot mother so in this category it's a really totally thumbs up for the wind force cooling now let's talk about something that really doesn't get discussed too often the loudness or the decibel level of the cards now the gigabyte card does however have three fans and it's running its supreme overclock mode you can run it in silent mode but it would change the entire parameter the situation the msi card however is running at 52 decibels not too bad the AMD cards running at 62 and a half so it's a little bit louder on the AMD side of things but remember the r9 290x was a very very hard card to cool we even thought it would need a water cooler but the wind force is doing a pretty damn good job on this card of keeping it both quiet and cool alright folks there you have it I really hope that you guys enjoy this content and the way that we're bringing it forth to you but one thing I have to mention is this video would not even be able to be brought possible to you folks without the help of Hulu Plus so I just want to send a shout out right now to Hulu Plus and thank them for making this video possible for you so I know many of you piece of users out there know what Hulu is but do you guys really know

site and get your guys a free extended trial period just by going to Google Plus calm for / - you ot where you can enjoy a plea plus for two weeks so let's wrap this up folks you guys can see in most instances in 4k the Nvidia card is coming slightly ahead of the AMD card now one thing that's gonna seriously change the dynamic though totally is the price 760 versus 825 I know it's not really that much of a price but to some people that might be all the difference in the world now I have to say this if the r9 card was the $600 price love that it was supposed to be it would be the serious ass kicker across the board now in a perfect world yeah things would roll that way but we're seeing the price and these things really really expensive right now and in a perfect world you're actually gonna probably need two of these cards running an SLI or crossfire mode to push that 4k properly our testers a single card showed it being pretty good you know those frames per second 33 is not you know - I stretching but you're gonna want something that's gonna pump a lot more pixels across the board also the AMD card is a little bit louder like I said before that one's coming in and a little bit higher at 61 and a half versus 52 so there is a little bit of a sound difference there and the AMD card was as I said slightly cooler though than the Nvidia card so you guys make the decision at the end I want to see you guys's comments down below let me hear what you guys had to say and also if you guys want to see all this stuff in 1080p 1440 leave a comment down below like the video and
