^ fair note, Anadtech basically never updates their benchmarks. (if you found newer bench's youd see the 7850-7870, perform MUCH better today than when Anandtech did those benchs)
They do review card benchs and thats it. AMD typically has poorly optimised drivers at launch, that over time grow much more in performance than nvidia cards do (they typically launch with better optimised drivers).
Thats ontop of the fact "close to metal" APIs should be used, since consoles will make use of that.
*basically Anandtech use nvidia biased benchmarks, and never update them. Their a bad site to use to get a realistic view of cards performance. |
Nvidia cards also increase performance with drivers updates as time goes on and the GTX 950 is a newer card, compared to the matured HD 7850 and drivers.
Anandtech is the one I had on hand and I think is trusthworthy.
The "close to the metal" argument is inconsecuential because the NX will also be "close to the metal". This is not a PC vs Console comparison. But a flop per flop performance analisis with the limited resources we have.
