What do you want in a Switch 2?

Bandwidth matters, as you start running higher resolutions.
So while that 960 might beat a 7970 at like 720p, I bet you once you start running 1440p, it has the advantage right?
Probably because of that 135% more memory bandwidth.

Would you look at that, a factory OCed 960, is slower than a stock 7970 at 1440 on avg.
Stock to stock, its around 17%.

*edit: actually this review, shows the 960 is slower than the 7970 on all resolutions they tested.

That 135% more bandwidth and 60% more flops only increased performance by 9% at 1440P.
That is pretty insignificant.

You are still proving my point. That Architecture is more important than flops or bandwidth.

Overclock that 960 heavily and it will match/exceed the 7970 even at 1440P.

Not to mention the 960 was always more of a 1080P card anyway.

As for benchmarks themselves, Anandtech is a more legitimate source.

I get your point, but at some point, having too low a bandwidth will choke the whole chip.

Also, your whole point of the bandwidth being unimportant by pointing to a chip with an oversized connection compared to one with a more sensible size got disproven a bit with the 1660 Super, which pretty much only has better bandwidth over the normal 1660 and et soundly beats the older version by about 15% due to it.
