| Solid-Stark said: Come on, CGI. It seems like you are willingly overlooking Captain_Tom's whole point. Sure his original claim perhaps holds only half truth (doesn't necessarily thrash the Titan). The 290X is AMD's competitor against the Nvidia's Titan; most sites I have looked at have the 290X above the Titan in most practical situations. If we are to give the benefit of the doubt to the Titan, then the best argument would be putting the Titan and 290X equivalent (even split across different tests). Fine. Where things get exciting is that the 290X is only $550, $450 less than the Titan.That is a huge cross chop to the back of the neck of Nvidia and it's fanboys. AMD is pushing so we never see $1000 single GPU BS for enthusiasts again.This is where Captain_Toms point holds some truth, and why every review site is praising AMD's new entry. And LOL at the guy wanting to go from a Titan to a 290X. |
Well yeah thanks lol! I mean it doesn't beat the Titan by 20% or anything, but it does match its performance, and at resolutions that matter it does soundly beat it. For me price/performance is all that matters, and in that respect it is absolutely the craziest defeat I have ever seen...
