750ti OC(MAXWELL) vs 260x OC(Bonaire)

hmmm...

...impressive OC

That blue pcb :thumbsdown:

 

[xpea]

not bad, it looks like Bonaire can keep up nicely with GM107

Bonaire has been on the market for almost a year,

keep up at nearly twice the power, yeah it's a way of thinking :whiste:

I'm failing to see the power usage numbers!?

where should I look at? I only see OCed 3dmark test

anyway, for this kind of card I would think performance per $ is more important considering the 260x don't have extreme power usage anyway,

this might be the first nvidia card to be overpriced from mining. Single slot means you can comfortably fit 7 in a regular pc. And improvements in cuda and new architecture could bring parity with gcn in mining.

 

[ShintaiDK]

Eh?


Not sure where you are getting these figures... The boost clocks of the reference 750 Ti is 1085Mhz which would make the 1364MHz a 25.7% overclock... The reference boost clock of the R7 260X is 1100Mhz, 1300MHz would be a 18.2% overclock...

The boost clock on the screenshot says default 1163Mhz and boost is OCed to 1298Mhz.

That would be a 11.6% boost OC.

The 260X is 1075Mhz, not 1100Mhz:

I'm not sure if that would be good or bad. Best case, it helps satisfy demand and returns balance to the market. Worse case, it completely strips the market of gaming cards by both companies and all prices go through the roof.

According to Nvidia, the GTX 750 will be faster than the R7 260.. So that means it will be faster than the 7770 / 250X. Mind you, The R7 260 is a 95W part... while baby kepler GTX 750 is 55W.

Here:

http://videocardz.com/images/2014/02/GeForce-GTX-750-and-750-Ti-performance.png

The 60W GTX 750ti beats the 115W R7 260X. Also, the maxwell card will proably be a very good overclocker.. considering the power headroom.

So power is going to be low, performance is going to be great and overclocking headroom will be great if your gTX 750 has a power connector.. GTX 750ti will have the 6pin PCIE by default according to leaks.

GTX 750Ti OC will probably beat Bonaire OC easily

Hmm, that's interesting. I thought it was 1100MHz too (which it should be according to this: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7754/the-amd-radeon-r7-265-r7-260-review-feat-sapphire-asus and this: http://www.amd.com/uk/products/desktop/graphics/r7/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-r7-series.aspx#4 (although AMD says 'up to 1.1GHz')

But it seems vendors do some underclocking on the non-oc models.

Anyway, reviews up, 750 Ti is faster than 260X and uses considerably less power. Maxwell seems to deliver. I agree with the conclusion though, on desktop AMD is still viable depending on prices. But for laptops AMD really needs to come up with something.

260x uses only 85w at gaming(Techpowerup).

 

[sm625]

It says in the anandtech article that all maxwell cards with no PCI-E power connector will be capped. You wont get more than an 11% OC. So it really doesnt matter how much more efficient the design is because you simply arent allowed to make use of the added potential headroom.

 

[ams23]

260x uses only 85w at gaming(Techpowerup).

If you look at Anandtech's review, notice that R7 260X consumes 38w more (!) power at load than GTX 750 Ti in Crysis 3, even though the latter is ~ 20% faster in performance in this game! The 265 actually has better gaming perf. per watt than 260X, but obviously still not close in efficiency to 750 Ti (it consumes 46w more power in this game than 750 Ti).

They are reviewing a factory OCed card. Also, the reference R7 260X is 1050MHz core with a boost frequency of 1100MHz. The broken link you provided is likely a modestly overclocked card providing only the base clock and not the boost frequencies...

If power stays under control, the 20nm six pin power version of this may be my next card.

 

[Stuka87]

If power stays under control, the 20nm six pin power version of this may be my next card.

If the 750Ti was shrunk to 20nm, why would it need a 6 pin? Or do you mean just in general, a maxwell 20nm card?

The power consumption is impressive for its performance. Still slower in most games than the 265 which comes in at the same price point (Not including any price gouging by retailers). But if power consumption is more important to you, the 750Ti is the way to go.

The standard 750 pretty much dethrones the 7750 as the go-to for HTPC's that want a fast card without auxiliary power.

 

[SPBHM]

750 Ti is really nice and efficient, but looking at the benchmarks IF they can sell the 265 for the same money, there is a significant gain in performance, so for gaming on a budget it would make more sense, while for HTPCs the 750 Ti would be a clear winner because it will use 50W less while gaming... but a more efficient product is always nice,

 

[ShintaiDK]

I assume he thinks on how a 20nm <150W Maxwell card will perform. I am looking forward to GM204.

 

[Enigmoid]

Nvidia is going to own mobile. GM107 is amazing and represents something like 100% jump for mid end mobile graphics (750m is 650 desktop and roughly half as fast). 750TI is twice as fast at the same or lower power consumption.

A 250W card would simply wipe the field on desktop.

This is nothing short of amazing how nvidia can squeeze out basically an entire node shrink on the same process.

 

[Phynaz]

Yes, exactly, I'm looking forward to the performance on 20nm Maxwell in a 150w power envelope.

It don't denial what i said.
