AMD vs NVIDIA: GTX 780 vs HD 7970 GHz Edition!

2013-05-25
what's going on tech bands welcome to Saturday morning here on tech of tomorrow where we've got a battle going on that's right you guys all know the new geforce gtx 780 has hit the market and we have a bout today of it going head-to-head against the AMD HD 7970 here at Edition card a lot of things in common something's different with that said let's get in and let the battle begin so before we jump into the performance section of the video let's talk about the specs of the car now the 780 is based off the gk110 - 300 Core the Radeon HD 7970 gigahertz is based off the Tahiti XTX as far as transistors there are 7.1 billion on the 780 and 4.31 billion on the 7970 now as far as stream processors or CUDA cores go the 780 has 2,304 CUDA cores while the Radeon HD 7970 has 2048 stream processors pretty much the same thing now as far as the core clock goes the geforce gtx 780 has a core clock of 863 megahertz it also has boost clock of 902 megahertz the Radeon HD 7970 has a core clock of a thousand megahertz and a boost clock of 1050 megahertz so just 50 megahertz there as far as the memory clock speeds go these things are very close the GeForce GTX 780 has a 1502 megahertz memory clock while the AMD Radeon HD 7970 has 1500 megahertz memory clock now as far as the memory and the memory interface both cards are identical both cards feature three gigabytes of gddr5 memory and a 384 bit memory interface as far as the TDP the max TVP is also the same on both cards being at 250 watts now as far as rap units the GTX 780 has forty-eight while the Radeon HD 7970 has 32 as far as TM use we see 192 on the geforce gtx 780 and 128 on the HD 7970 once again we see memory bandwidth being almost identical between the two cards with the geforce gtx 780 coming in with 288 point four and the AMD radeon HD 7970 coming in just two hundred and eighty eight now here is where things do get a bit different as far as pricing goes the AMD Radeon HD 7970 gigahertz Edition has a usual retail value of about 499 dollars while the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX is coming to market at about six hundred and forty nine dollars something to consider if price is very important to you alright folks so next up now that we've seen all the spec 2 specs comparisons let's jump in and let's do some competitiveness the benchmarks first up in the gaming folks we see battlefield 3 now we tested all of the cards of both 1920 by 1080 and 2560 by 1440 per your request our audience we see the 7970 coming in at 1920 by 1080 at 75 frames per second we see the 780 at the same resolution coming in at 90 frames per second at 25 6 by 1440 we see the HD 7970 gigahertz Edition coming in at 47 frames per second while the GTX 780 at the same resolution comes out at 58 frames per second a pretty wide margin in that particular one next up Metro last slide we see the HD 7970 at 1920 by 1080 coming up at 54 frames per second while we see the 780 got the same resolution coming up at 59 frames per second which is only a 5 second difference not much at all at the 2560 by 1440 resolution we see the HD 7970 coming out of 38 frames per second and the GTX 780 at 2560 by 1440 at 42 frames per second once again a very small margin next up Batman Arkham City that's right the Caped Crusader kickin ass the HD 7970 a 1920 by 1080 comes up at 105 frames per second while the GTX 780 at the same resolution comes up at 129 frames per second a pretty decent increment there at 2560 by 1440 we see the 7970 coming in at 72 frames per second and the 780 at 82 frames per second next up we have attention the people over at future mark this is a 3d marked fire strike we see the 7970 with a score of three thousand five hundred and eighty-five and the GTX 780 with 4338 quite a bit of difference there next up is lux mark via 2.0 we see the 7970 coming in two thousand three hundred 1k rays a second while the 780 came in at eleven hundred and twenty five K rays a second here's where you see an open CL where the GTX actually at one point loses to the AMD card next up in gaming BioShock Infinite 7970 at 1920 by 1080 comes up at 96 point 87 frames per second while the GTX 70 the same resolution comes up at 112 point 46 frames per second quite a margin there at the 2560 by 1440 resolution we see the HD 7970 coming at 65 point o nine frames per second and the 780 coming up at 2560 by 1440 at 76 point 78 frames per second Crysis 3 last but not least one of my favorite games to date the HD 7970 at 1920 by 1080 comes up at 60 frames per second while the GTX 780 comes up at 75 frames per second at 2560 by 1440 we see the HD 7970 coming in at 40 frames per second while the GTX 780 comes in at 49 frames per second next up let's talk about temperatures the HD 7970 had a minimum temperature value of 35 Celsius while the GTX 780 had a 37 Celsius minimum value the maximum value under full load we see the Cee 7/7 coming in 75 Celsius while the GTX 780 comes in at 78 Celsius making the GTX 780 a slightly hotter running card all right folks so there you guys have all of the differences as far as the hardware specs go and as far as performance goes and you can see you know obviously the new nvidia geforce gtx 780 is obviously you know going to kick some serious ass but it's also $649 and the newest kid on the block right I mean this card is like you know the most amazing thing that's come out from these guys it's top-shelf but if you have you know a monitor that only does 1920 by 1080 P and that's what you've got and you've already got a car that's working pretty good you know you may not want to upgrade now if you're a brand new person going out there you're considering buying a video card and you're a fan of AMD the 7970 gigas Edition does though offer solid performance you guys see if the specs are very very close to those of the Nvidia product you know a lot of things are the same now there's no physics though not the advanced physics at all although like I said before you can use physics on an AMD card it just uses your CPU not your GPU make sure you guys check out the video on that if you guys missed that by the way but at the end of the day as far as just sheer performance goes you guys know the new you know card from Nvidia is obviously going to win I think for the very beginning of the video you folks knew that was going to happen in this battle now as far as using three monitors on both you have Eyefinity over on the AMD side of things you have surround from Nvidia you have nvidia surround these both support multi monitor technologies the big differences though the 3d glasses you will not have any of the 3d vision stuff going on at all if you get an AMD card so if that's something that's very important to you then you're not going to want to go with the you know card by AMD obviously because it doesn't offer any 3d options but for $499 versus $649 with $149 price difference as far as performance goes I mean I don't know if you can really balance that completely out just far as performance goes and there's one thing to really take note of now AMD lately has been totally kickin down on the gaming bundles I mean these guys are given like great titles they're given you know triple-a titles and trying to really get the people in so if you're somebody else and you don't have a whole lot of money but you'd still like to have some of the top align games you may also want to consider that but at the end of the day if you're a person that just money has no bounds and you don't care and you want the absolute best card there is then obviously the new nvidia geforce gtx 780 is the king of the ring it will slice the head off the AMD competition and right now there is nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing that can beat it so with that said I hope you guys liked this video if you guys want information on either where to buy either a HD 7970 or a new geforce gtx 780 check out the link down the description below we'll have all the links all that cool stuff you want that there's a like button there make sure you hit the like button otherwise I'll have to find you and you know decapitate you that's just how it goes now I'm just kidding love you folks hope you liked the video we'll see you guys soon here on techo tomorrow it's Saturday hey have a good day
