They live in dream world where $ doesn't matter for 20-30 more FPS. I would hope that a $3000 worth of GPU setup would annihilate HD7970 Tri-Fire / GTX680 Tri-SLI but yet it doesn't.
Why did you insist on avoiding any and all issues when it comes to AMD? Avoiding the fact that they're counting extra frames, avoiding the fact that the frame distribution is awful and MS is quite common?
Why are you avoiding these subjects like the plague? Why have you never once said you experienced stutter on your 7970? Why do you take out full page ads for AMD products? Are you employed by AMD RS? Do you get kickbacks from AMD RS? Are you hoping through your work here something like the aforementioned situations could happen? Why is it you never play games, just post on forums and bitcoin, yet recommend solutions for gaming that stutters up and down the tests? What's really going on RS?
The Titan at 1Ghz is going to be barely 30% faster on average than an average overclocked HD7970 (not even discussing a 1300mhz Asus Matrix for example). Computerbase review shows this since their maxed out Titan card is on average just 35-38% faster than a stock HD7970GE. 7970s overclock to 1150-1200mhz easily which would make up 8-14% of that advantage since HD7970 scales almost linearly with overclocking.
And Titan won't, even though it scaled almost perfectly with it's units over the 680? 1200Mhz is going to take a pretty good sample, otherwise you're looking at one hot and loud "Fermi" card in your case.
You know, my 470s could hit 580 speeds, does that mean everything between my $40 470 and the $500 580 were overpriced and crappy? :hmm:
In AT's review the Titan boosted to nearly 1Ghz in almost all games and average performance over HD7970GE was just
34%.
Just like the 560 Ti was just 38~ percent slower than the 580, it's classic mid-range vs high end.. 100% markup vs 100% markup, what's the problem, you already paid a huge markup for your mid-range 7970...
You might want to rethink that if you expect AMD to send you stuff.
Overclock maxed out at just 1019mhz. All other websites reached very similar overclocking results on air which means it's end of the line for Titan on air at 1.2V and 106% power target.
You are paying $1000 for a card that's going to be just 30% faster on average when comparing Titan OC vs. HD7970 OC on air.
Ok :thumbsup:
Just like end of the line was 770Mhz for 470s and 1125 for the 7970...
Yep it's overpriced, but all cards are. Mid-range came with a 100% markup, you bought one... High end comes with a 100% markup and you cry? Come on...
Can't even get 40 fps in Crysis 3 without MSAA/SMAA!
Even at HardwareCanucks where their card reached 1162mhz (!), the performance gain was minimal over the stock 878mhz Titan because of Titan's initial Boost in games to nearly 1Ghz:

lol it's almost as fast as the 690 with a modest overclock on reference air, and you find reason to complain when it comes down to it in SP it's playable (Titan) vs unplayable (7970GHz). That's worth money buddy :awe:
HD7970GE also overclocks well and scales with overclocking:

HD7970 1Ghz with a great cooler and 5 free games can be had in Canada for $380. In the US, you can find HD7970s for $360-430, easily. Only the biggest NV fans would defend a card that's going to end up
less than 40% faster on average for > 2.5x the price when comparing stock vs. stock or Titan OC vs. HD7970 OC on air. :whiste:
Right I guess I'm "Defending", Titan is good price/perf, amazing perf/watt, here buy it here, link to this place, ignore real facts, stutter -- what's that - buy three...
You sound like a salesman, AMD can do no wrong, you ignore every problem they have and continue on like you have a deadline to get your marketing "Keywords" of the day quota in.
It's either blind bias caused by overspending for mid-range, or you're getting something... Luckily for you AMD doesn't require you to tell us anything :hmm:
