NVIDIA GTX 780 Ti Review! Fastest GPU on The Planet?

2013-11-07
hey everybody welcome to tech Oh tomorrow where its launch day of the new gtx 780 Ti is it the world's fastest single GPU card in the world let's find out it is launch day of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti now you guys all know that 290x has been out it beat the 780 pretty much across the board it was kicking its butt but what always happens when AMD kicks butt NVIDIA well NVIDIA gets their together and just comes out with something else this time it's the new 780 Ti now most Nvidia fans all know that this card is pretty much just a 780 with everything unlocked probably the card that we should have seen a long time ago but since AMD fumbled so much in the game Nvidia just chilled out and was like hey why release this card when we don't have to but as you can see when the day arrived that AMD finally beat them at the table they just really quickly released something else which means they did not do any R&D they basically have it sitting on a shelf or they just had to like basically no just open something up in the card and baboom they've unlocked it so with that said let's first jump in and let's just take a look at the card physically so I had the card right here in my hand it's 10.5 inches long you know a real lady pleaser they're still featuring they're cooling on this which you guys know from other series of card works very very well and a lot of people actually say that this is very appealing to the eye as well so not only is the card efficient people like the way it looks and for reference card that's really rare now this thing looks really nice PCI 3.0 interface you got a couple of different things over here on the side for your power 6 pin 8 pin back of the card completely black PCB so you got up here on the top to SLI fingers triple SLI supported let's flip it around real quick take a look at the Ruhr REO 2 DV is dvi-i DVID single DisplayPort single HDMI port now let's talk about some of the actual specs of the car beyond the looks so let's start off with the cuda cores now you guys have all heard this is the unlocked version with 2880 unlocked cuda cores also features 240 texture units forty-eight rap units now the reference card has a base clock speed of 875 megahertz and a boost clock of 928 megahertz the memory clock speed is at 7,000 megahertz and is actually the fastest memory on any video card on the market to date the card also features 3 gigabytes is super fast gddr5 memory with a 384 bit memory interface it also has a total memory bandwidth of 336 gigabytes per second nvidia recommends a 600 watt power supply be used with this and the total TDP of the card is 250 watts it also has a thermal threshold of 95 Celsius now we will get back and reiterate a little bit more about the subject of heat later on in the video but I just want to say right now that when a cards running at that high of a temperature there's not much flexibility to do with that and when the card from AMD was run an uber mode it's pretty much kind of the same thing as having their card overclocked but we'll get a little bit to that later let's right now talk about the test station we're using the ASUS Maximus hero motherboard this is an LGA 1150 motherboard we're also using the i7 4770k CPU we're using a cooler master cooler on top of the dang thing and we've got 32 gigabytes that's right 32 gigabytes of high-speed memory from the people over at patriot is their viper extreme stuff we're also using a sandesh 240 gigabyte SSD as the boot drive and a Western Digital 1 terabyte black drive which we feel is a pretty common system for people to have out there we used to have a higher-end system but we asked you folks what you thought and you guys said this was pretty much the type of system that most of the high-end enthusiast users would have so we stuck with it so with that said now let's bounce in and let's see how the performance is of this brand-new Senay video so they're you guys see if the performance differences between the 780ti and the new AMD r9 290x now something I do want to say Rock the bat though we ran the r9 290x in its uber mode and we did that for a reason we didn't feel that any gamer worth his salt was really gonna go out and spend five hundred forty nine dollars and then run that card and quiet mode why would you you're a gamer you want your games to run as fast as possible now with that said in uber mode the card does run pretty damn close though to the TI card but there's something about that the ti card essentially the way we ran it is pretty much walking because it's ran its default state its default boost clock we didn't go and change anything nothing at all about it now when you're running the AMD clock in Ober mode it's pretty much that carbon it's overclocked type state running down the road so you can pretty much picture it you know nvidia is walking AMD is running and they're running and they're still behind the TI and i think that's a pretty fair assessment of the situation now let's talk about the heat eighty-two celsius is what we were seeing on the nvidia card while we were seeing 94 95 96 all over the place with the AMD card depending on the test we were running so that cards already running very very hot now i know a lot of AMD fans out there gonna go say hey you know there's gonna be better cooling all this stuff but one thing you can't change regardless of the cooling you're putting in the card that cards already running you guys have said it yourself in your comments at 95 c meant to be ran at 95 c so where's the actual threshold of that card like i talked about in the nvidia card this has a threshold right around there but the cards running at 82 right now so that means i still have 13 degrees of Celsius that i can screw with before this cards running as hot as the AMD card every test that we ran right now was with the 780ti right out of its box right with a virgin driver nothing overclocked Wooper modem the AMD is overclocked it's like an overclocked state you know uber mode there's a reason they call it goober mode it's not because it runs slow so with that said there are some positive things though to the AMD card in one particular battle there is nothing that Nvidia can do I'm sorry buddy you just lose this battle altogether and that's the price battle one hundred and fifty nine dollars pretty big difference now you might be able to get it before you know a little bit less than that you know if you look around shop but pretty much one hundred and fifty to one hundred and fifty nine dollar difference in the cost of the cards so if somebody out there you know your sole thing out there is you don't care about performance you're just looking for as much performance as you can get in this limited budget well then if a hundred fifty bucks that big of a deal to you then the AMD card is surely the card for you but if you're a pure enthusiast and all you care about is performance you don't give a crap who makes the card which is pretty much how I am you guys say that I'm a MIDI a fanboy it's not that I compare the cards exactly how they are when AMD has a really good product we're like hey AMD had a great product if they were a product that runs hot and it makes a little bit noise we're gonna make fun of it we're not trying to insult AMD we're just poking some fun at them and when NVIDIA has done it we've poked fun at them as well so one last thing though before we bounce out of here mantou we've all heard about it is it going you seriously change the dynamic of the game well we're going to see but for now the 780ti is the kick-ass King of the Ring in the single GPU ramp the facts are there there's no disputing it anyways do you guys have different comments you want to say down below especially about how he ran the car if you guys felt that we should have ran the card in quiet mode and you think that's a really important thing let us know we can always go back and run it again we just didn't really think that any of you guys being uber gamers would run your card in quiet mode so down there will like but in the description if you guys want any more information when I check out the written review it will be down there and hope you guys hit the like button like that and last but not least if you're not subscribed to the channel and you want to see all the stuff that's going on here we have all kinds of cool stuff coming up we've got Christmas giveaways we've got Christmas catalogs hey the holiday seems upon us and that means great stuff for you guys I know it we'll see you guys later go back to do some more testing on a 70 we're gonna over bad boy and we'll see where those from there
