The 770 cannot even claim total victory.  Read the whole 770 review if you want, it shows just how far the 680 fell:

And your GPU market share is ignoring Intel, which is a huge competitor now...

770?

Why not 780? Why not Titan?

I'm talking here about the same period... GTX 680 had the performance crown... faster, "green", quieter and cheaper... nVidia 680 just beat HD 7970 in every single point.

That lasted for about a few months.  Then AMD boosted their drivers and it was history.  Also even when the 680 launched, if you overclocked both they traded blows.  It was common knowledge...

Did you even read the review titled "Give me back the Crown?!" LOL wow

Look just look up the 4870, 4850 and the entire 5000 series reviews.  You will see that AMD was laying down the hurt most of the time until the 6000 serires.  But the 7000 series was once again legendary.  Nvidia had much better marketing and OEM deals though while also being a part of the industry long before AMD was...

What? I read Toms said they choose GTX 770 over HD 7790 too.

"After all is said and done, the GTX 770 ends up beating the 7970GE at 6 games, while the 7970GE takes the other 4. Meanwhile within those individual games we’ll see anything between a near-tie to a very significant 20% advantage for either side, depending on the game in question. This is very much a repeat of what we saw with the GTX 680 versus the 7970GE, and GTX 670 versus the 7970."

I'm not making a big deal here... the performance crown was always in the GeForce side... GTX 770 is a mid-high performance card... not really high-end.

And so you are ignoring the fact that the 680 lost by a ton to the 7970 GHz?  No sh!t the 770 performed slightly better lol, it is 1.5 years newer and it costs more! I hope it does!

Not going to far.

Today... GTX 680 still hold on pair with HD 7970 GE and beat the HD 7970 standard.

Ohhhh God... GTX 680 is on pair with HD 7970 Ghz and beat the HD 7970 standard.

Look I am not debating this because it is silly to compare the level competition AMD and Nvidia have always had to the domination Intel has over the FX series right now.

I dare you to post this in the Tom's Hardware forums and see if most people agree with you. They will agree that AMD hasn't put up much competition in the CPU space though.


I will close by linking the GPU hierarchy chart (Actually read this one):

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

As you can see the 7970 is on the same level as the 680, and the 7970 GHz is in fact higher than both the 770 and 680. Only the Titan and 780 have beaten the 7970 GHz, and the latter was not by much.

Either way in 3 days the 290X will come out and thrash Nvidia again, and the Nvidia will launch a card that beats that within half a year and vice versa. The cycle continues...

I am done here. You need to do some reading. PEACE!

P.S.   I never said AMD was dominating Nvidia in performance, just that the competition is right  where it should be compared to the stagnation in the CPU space...

I agree... I'm being a little harsh with AMD
